    价格的定义
    Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United
resources翻译      States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services， including labor，professional， transportation， and
      public-utility services.
    The interrelationships of all these prices make up the "system" of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad， complicated system of prices in which
      everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else. If one were to ask a grou
p of randomly selected individuals to define "price"， many would reply that price is an amount of money
      paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or， in other words， that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction.
    This definition is， of course， valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction， much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both
      the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount， but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged， the time and place at which the exchange
      will take place and payment will be made， the form of money to be used， the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction， guarantees on the product or service， delivery terms，
      return privileges， and other factors. In other words， both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the aske
d-for amount
      of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.
    "价格"的定义
    价格决定资源的使用方式。价格也是有限的产品与服务在买方中的配给手段。
    美国的价格系统是复杂的网状系统，包括经济生活中一切产品买卖的价格，也包括名目繁多的各种服务，诸如劳动力、专职人员、交通运输、公共事业等服务的价格。
    所有这些价格的内在联系构成了价格系统。
    任何一种个别产品或服务的价格都与这个庞大而复杂的系统密切相关，而且或多或少地受到系统中其它成份的制约。如果随机挑选一人，问问他们如何定义"价格"，许多人会回答价格就是根据卖方提供的产品或服务，买方向其付出的钱数。
    换句话说，价格就是市场交易中大家认同的产品或服务的货币量。该定义就其本身来说自有其道理。
    但要获得对价格在任何一桩交易中的完整认识，就必须考虑到大量"非货币"因素的影响。
    买卖双方不但要清楚交易中的钱数，而且要非常熟悉交易物的质量和数量，交易的时间、地点，采用哪种形式付款，有怎样的缓付和优惠，对交易物的质量保证、交货条款、退赔权利等等。
    也就是说，为了能估算索价，买卖双方必须通晓构成交易物价格的通盘细节。
    Love your life 热爱生活
    however mean your life is，meet it and live it;do not shun it and call it hard names.it is not so bad as you are.it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in
      paradise.love your life，poor as u may perhaps have some pleasant，thrilling，glorious hourss，even in a poor-house.the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as
      brightly as from the rich man“s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.i do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there，and have as cheering t
houghts，as in a
      palace.the town”s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.may be they are simply great enough to receive st think that they are above being supported
      by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.cultivate poverty like a garden herb，like sage.do not trouble
      yourself much to get new things，whether clothes or friends，turn the old，return to them.things do not change;we change.sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
    热爱生活
    不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱缺点的人就是到天堂里也能到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，
一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
    Henry David Thoreau
    Weddings in the United States美国人的婚礼
    Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. There are church weddings with a great deal of fanfare;there are weddings on mountain-tops with guests barefooted;and there have
      been weddings on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests. But many weddings，no matter where or how they are performed，include certain traditional customs.
    Before a couple is married，they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby，their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready，then
      comes the most exciting moment.
    The wedding itself usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. The wedding party enters the church while the wedding march[1] is played. The bride carrying a bouquet enters last with her father
      who will“give her away[2]”。The groom enters the church from a side door. When the wedding party is gathered by the altar，the bride and groom exchange vows. It is traditional to use the words“To
      have and to hold from this day forward，for better，for worse，for richer，for poorer，in sickness and in health，to love and to cherish，till death do us part[3]”。Following the vows，the couple
      exchange rings. Wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.
