Luxury
In many countries and cultures,
owing something of luxury is considered a symbol of wealth and status.
Such luxuries may include a private boat,
posh villas, diamond watch and the list goes on.
I like expensive things because I believe you get what you pay for, and higher price is usually accompanied by superior quality.
I’d like to think that one day I can have enough money to afford luxurious things in life.
The first extravagant thing I’d like to own is probably a car.
A Lamborghini may be cool.
Since I saw it first on the magazine and later in the movie “Mission Impossible III”, I couldn’t stop loving it.
The exterior and the interior are both of the world’s highest class. It’s one fast running machine. It’s born for speed.
In addition to the excellent performance,
it provides much convenience to the driver too,
GPS, automatic air-conditioning, DVD system, hi-fi system,
you name it.
Another reason why I love it is the sturdy bodywork of the car. Lamborghini makes their cars really strong so when you’re driving fast, you still feel quite safe.
I guess it won’t surprise people when they discover the price of the car is unbelievably high.
It will cost you an arm and a leg to buy it, about 4 million RMB. I don’t think I will be able to own it in a short time.
However, I believe people are driven by dreams.
As long as it’s a dream for me,
one day I’ll be successful enough to own one.
奢侈
在许多国家及其文化中,拥有豪华奢侈的物品被人看作是财富和地位的象征。诸如此类的物品可以是
私人船只、豪华别墅、钻石手表等等。我喜欢昂贵的东西,因为我相信我的付出会换来回报,高价格往往也意味着高质量。
我梦想着有一天我拥有了足够的钱去过着锦衣玉食的生活。我想拥有的第一个最奢侈的东西大概就是
一辆兰博基尼豪华轿车了。自从我第一次在杂志,之后又在电影《谍中谍3》看到它时,我就忍不住爱上它了。无论是外部还是内部结构,它都是世界上无与伦比的;它是一辆跑得飞快的机器,因为它是为速度而生。除了极佳性能外,它同时给司机提供了极大的方便,GPS、自动空调机、DVD系统等等,随便你怎么想出一个设备它都有。我爱上它的另外一个原因就是它有着牢固的身体结构。兰博基尼生产商使他们的车制造得足够结实,哪怕你开得飞快,你也会感觉到很大的安全感。
我敢说当人们发现这辆车是令人不可置信的高时,并不会使人感到惊讶。你得用你的一年手臂和一条腿才能买到它,差不多400万元。在短时期内,我肯定是无法做到的。
然而,我相信只要有梦想,人就会为之追逐。只要那是属于我的梦想,总有一天我会成功地拥有它。
