Hints for Those That Would Be Rich
致富之道
The use of money is all the advantage there is in having Money.
有錢的唯一好處就在于用錢。
For six pounds a year you may have the use of one hundred pounds if you are a man of known prudence and honesty.
如果你是一個節儉而誠實的人，一年六英鎊就可以當一百英鎊的錢使用。
He that spends a groat a day idly, spends idly above six pounds a year, which is the price of using one hundred pounds.
一天浪費四便士的人，一年就浪費六個多英鎊，而六英鎊相當于一百英鎊的使用價值。
He that wastes idly a groat's worth of his time per day, one day with another, wastes the privilege of using one hundred pounds each day.
每天虛度值四便士的時間的人，日復一日，等于浪費了每天使用一百英鎊的權利。
He that idly loses five shillings worth of time, loses five shillings and might as prudently throw five shillings into the River.
一個游手好閑而損失了價值五先令時間的人，就是失去了五個先令，他還不如把五先令扔進河里的好。
He that loses five shillings not only loses that sum, but all the advantage that might be made by turning it in dealing, which, by the time that a young man becomes old, will amount to a comfortable sum of Money.
一個失去五先令的人，不僅失去了這筆錢，還失去了把錢用于經商可能帶來的好處，而一個年輕人到年老的時候這筆錢就等同于一筆可觀的財產。
