是否應該借錢給朋友?
Tit: Should I lend money to him?
Tat: I wouldn’t lend a huge amount of money to a friend.
Tit: Why not help a friend? Is your friendship not worth that amount?
Tat: It’s worth more than that.
Tit: What do you mean?
Tat: It’s priceless. I wouldn’t want a friend to shy away because he can’t return the amount.
Tit: But he might shy away because you don’t lend him the money.
Tat: If our friendship is not worth more than that amount, it’s too bad.
Tit: Sounds cold and unhelpful!
Tat: Is it? I don’t lend money to friends but I give it instead.
Tit: Huh?
Tat: I prefer to prepare not getting the money back!
問:我應該借錢給他嗎?
答:我不會借朋友一大筆錢。
問:爲什麼不幫助朋友呢?難道你們的友誼不值那些錢嗎?
答:不,我們的友誼更爲珍貴。
問:此話怎講?
答:友誼是無價的。我不想我的朋友因爲還不了錢而避開我。
問:但是他也有可能因爲你不借他錢而避開你。
答:如果我們的友誼還比不上那些錢,那真是太悲哀了。
問:你這話聽上去冷酷無情又毫無幫助。
答:是嗎?我不借錢給朋友,但是我會把錢給朋友。
問:啊?
答:我寧願做好不把錢拿回來的準備!
