　　Extravagant Spending on College Campus
　　According to a survey, in recent years the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise. Many college students have no concept of thrift in their mind. They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter into the society. This extravagant spending is primarily caused by the following factors.
　　First of all, nowadays most of the students are the only children of their families. They are the apple in their family’s eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money. In addition, with the improvement of living standards, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children. Moreover, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tend to need more money. Finally, campus love is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.
　　From my point of view, a college student, as a pure consumer, should learn to be thrifty. We should limit our expenditure on daily necessities but not buy whatever we want regardless of their prices. The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.

　　參考譯文：
　　根據(jù)一項(xiàng)調(diào)查，近年來(lái)大學(xué)生每月花銷已經(jīng)急劇增加。很多大學(xué)生腦中根本沒有節(jié)儉的概念。在走入社會(huì)之前，他們想當(dāng)然地花費(fèi)父母給的錢。這種浪費(fèi)花銷主要由以下原因引起。
　　首先，現(xiàn)在大多數(shù)學(xué)生是家里的獨(dú)生子女。他們是父母眼中的寶貝，自然得到更多關(guān)心和零用錢。其次，隨著生活水平的提高，父母能夠承擔(dān)孩子更高的消費(fèi)。此外，一些學(xué)生喜歡追求時(shí)尚和潮流，這也易于需要更多錢。最后，校園戀愛也是造成浪費(fèi)花銷的另一可能原因。
　　在我看來(lái)，一名大學(xué)生作為純消費(fèi)者，應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)節(jié)儉。我們的支出應(yīng)該限制在日常必需品，而不是不顧價(jià)格購(gòu)買我們想要的一切。節(jié)儉的習(xí)慣能幫助我們樹立正確的價(jià)值觀，并有利于我們的未來(lái)發(fā)展。
