生命的核心就是为自己的儿女积钱啊！

高尔斯华绥《福尔赛世家》：

The kernel of life was in this saving for his children.

生命的核心就是为自己的儿女积钱啊！

原文：

To have creatures who were parts of himself, to whom he might transmit the money he saved, was at the root of his saving; and, at seventy-five, what was left that could give him pleasure, but—saving? The kernel of life was in this saving for his children.

有这些等于自己一部分的人，可能一朝把自己积攒下来的钱传到他们手里，这是他积钱的根本原因；一个人活到七十五岁，除掉积钱之外，还有什么事能给他快乐呢？生命的核心就是为自己的儿女积钱啊！
