简答题】
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 goods 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(流浪者) 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. ( 195 words )

据说每个人都靠出售某种东西来维持生活。根据这种说法,教师靠卖知识为生,哲学家靠卖智慧为生,牧师靠卖精神安慰为生。虽然物质产品的价值可以用金钱来衡量,但要估算别人为我们所提供的服务的价值却是极其困难的。有时,我们为了挽救生命,愿意付出我们所占有的一切。但就在外科大夫给我们提供了这种服务后,我们却可能为所支付的昂贵费用而抱怨。社会上的情况就是如此,技术是必须付钱去买的,就像在商店里要花钱义商品一样。人人都有东西可以出售。在这条普遍性的规律面前,好像只有流浪汉是个例外。乞丐出售的几乎是他本人,以引起过路入的怜悯。但真正的流浪汉并不是乞丐。他们既不出售任何东西,也不需要从别人那儿得到任何东西。在追求独立自由的同时,他们并不牺牲为人的尊严。流浪汉可能会向你讨钱,但他从来不要你可怜他。
