史蒂文很富有，但依然很节俭。对此杰克很不理解，于是询问原因。

嘿，史蒂文。你有大把的钱，为什么还住在那个旧公寓里，而不买一套别墅呢？

我喜欢这儿，喜欢周围的邻居们。而且我不认为因为我有钱就可以随意地挥霍。
A: But I found you always hate to part with your money. Look at the car you drive. It's such a junker.
但是我发现你很舍不得花钱，看看你开的车都破成什么样了？
B: Oh, the car is old but still in good condition. I just think we should be thrifty whether you're rich or not.
哦，那车是破了点，但性能还很好。我觉得无论我们是贫穷还是富有，都应该节俭。
A: But, but...
可是，可是...
B: But what? Just remember that thrift is not only a great virtue, but also a great revenue.
可是什么？记住，节俭不仅是一大美德，而且是一大财源。
A: Maybe you're right.
也许你说得对。
