Raw Text (Chinese / Pinyin / English)
Chinese

时间过得真快,马上就要毕业了。毕业后你打算做什么? 我还没想好呢,正想听听你的建议。你觉得在选择职业时,收入重要吗? 在我看来,赚钱多少不是最重要的,兴趣才是关键。只有做自己喜欢的事,才会觉得幸福,将来也会有更好的发展。 我也这么想。如果我带着热情去做自己喜欢的工作,就不会感到累。不过,现在什么东西都那么贵,生活压力太大了,没有钱也不会过得幸福呀! 幸福其实很简单,它不是只要有钱就能买到的。我觉得工作结束回家后,洗个热水澡,然后躺在床上看看书,听听音乐,困了睡睡觉,就很幸福。 你说的也对。如果能找到一份自己既感兴趣,收入又不错的工作,那就最好了。

English

Time flies; graduation is coming soon. What do you plan to do after graduation? I haven't decided yet, and I was hoping to hear your advice. Do you think income is important when choosing a career? In my view, how much money you make isn't the most important; interest is the key. Only by doing what you like will you feel happy, and you'll also have better prospects in the future. I think so too. If I do the work I like with enthusiasm, I won’t feel tired. But now everything is so expensive, life is too stressful, and without money you still won’t live happily! Happiness is actually very simple; it’s not something you can buy just by having money. I think that after finishing work and going home, taking a hot shower, then lying in bed to read, listening to some music, and sleeping when you get sleepy is happiness. You're right, too. If you can find a job that you are interested in and that pays well, then that would be the best.
