2014考研��p��作文范文:没有东西可卖也没有东西可买_跨考网

　　It has been said that everyone lives by selling something. In the light of this statement, teachers live by selling knowledge, philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling spiritual comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the value of material good in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services which people perform for us. There are times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely this service. The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.

　　Tramps seem to be the only exception to this general rule. Beggars almost sell themselves as human beings to arouse the pity of passers-by. But real tramps are not beggars. They have nothing to sell and require nothing from others. In seeking independence, they do not sacrifice their human dignity. A tramp may ask you for money, but he will never ask you to feel sorry for him. He has deliberately chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the consequences. He may never be sure where the next meal is coming from, but he is free from the thousands of anxieties which afflict other people. His few material possessions make it possible for him to move from place to place with ease. By having to sleep in the open, he gets far closer to the world of nature than most of us ever do. He may hunt, beg, or steal occasionally to keep himself alive; he may even, in times of real need, do a little work; but he will never sacrifice his freedom. We often speak of tramps with contempt and put them in the same class as beggars, but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious of their simple way of life and their freedom from care?

　　据说每个人都靠出售某�U�东西来�l�持生活。根据这�U�说法，教师靠卖知识为生�Q�哲学家靠卖智慧为生�Q�牧师靠卖精���安��Cؓ生。虽然物质��品的价值可以用金钱来衡量，但要估算别�h为我们�ؓ所提供的服务的价值却是极其困隄���。有�Ӟ��我们��Z��挽救生命�Q�愿意付出我们所占有的一切。但���在外科大夫�l�我们提供了�q�种服务后，我们却可能�ؓ所支付的昂�늚�费用而抱怨。社会上的情况就是如此，技术是必须付钱��M��的，���像在商店里要花�׃��商品一栗����h人都有东西可以出售�?/p>

　　在这条普遍的规律前面�Q�好像只有流���汉是个例外�Q�乞丐出售的几乎是他本�h�Q�以引�v�q��\人的怜�?zh��n)�。但真正的流����ƈ不是乞丐。他们既不出售�Q何东西，也不需要从别�h那儿得到��M��东西�Q�在�q�求独立自由的同�Ӟ��他们�q�不牺牲��Z�h的尊严。游���汉可能会向你讨钱，但他从来不要你可怜他。他是故意在选择�q����U�生�zȝ���Q��ƈ完全清楚以这�U�方式生�zȝ��后果。他可能从不知道下顿饭有无着落，�?/p>

　　他不像有人那栯���千万桩愁事所折磨。他几乎没有什么胦产，�q���他能够轻松自如地在各地奔波。由于被�q�在露天睡觉�Q�他比我们中许多人都���d��自然�q�得多。�ؓ了生存，他可能会��L��猎、乞讨，偶尔偷上一两回;���实需要的时候，他甚臛_��能干一点儿�z�，但他决不会牺牲自由。说��h�����汉�Q�我们常常带有轻蔑�ƈ把他们与乞丐归�ؓ一�c�R��但是，我们中有多少�����够坦率地说我们对���浪汉的���朴生�z�M��无忧无虑的境况不感到有些���慕�?
