很有兴趣想了解一下你最后一个例子中这对夫妇的原本动机是什么? 想了解一下他们的思维方式。无神不信来世,但是有所谓的良心。个人认为非常非常得难啊。
In her
blog, Julia writes, “The things we love most—spending time with family and friends, making music, dancing, cooking, reading—are all things we can do on a small budget. If we gave less, we would spend more on ourselves but probably wouldn't be noticeably happier.” She says that giving is one of the most important things in her life, and she does it because she believes that “people—all people, even far-away people—should not have to suffer and die needlessly.”
在她的博客中,茱莉亚写到,“我们最喜欢的事情是和我们的家人和朋友共度时光,一起演奏,一起跳舞,一起烹饪,一起阅读。所有的这些都花不了多少钱。假如我们捐得少些,我们就会多花些在自己身上,但这样很可能不会显著增加幸福感。”她说捐献是她生活中最重要的事情之一,她这样做因为她相信“所有的人,无论离我们近还是远,都不必无谓地受苦或死去。”
'Julia and I want to make the world better, and we think one of the best ways to do that is to donate money to effective charities,' he notes on his
blog.
杰夫在他的博客里写到:“茱莉亚和我想让这个世界变得更好;我们认为最好的方式之一就是把钱捐给得力的慈善机构。”
