less is more英语读写译课文总结

Nowadays, our society is rich in materials, so we face too many

choices, most of us want to possess more and more stuff. However,

owning too much stuff will make individuals feel stressful, result in

waste of resources and cause environmental pollution. Contrarily,

the less stuff we own, the happier we will be, less is more.

As we know, housing price is considerably high in some Chinese

major cities like Beijing, Shanghai and so on at present. People in

these cities borrow money from banks to get big houses, in return

they have to work hard to repay the loan in a long period of time.

They have to become workaholics, their body suffers damages in

excess, even some of them die from overwork, obviously, people in

big cities are stressful and unhappy. Big houses are unnecessary.

Please have a look at your house, you may find a large number of

available spaces, this is a waste of space. Apart from houses, there

may be too many clothes that been set aside in our wardrobe. We

often follow the trend to buy clothes, but we dress them just several

times and take no notice of these old-fashioned clothes after a

period of time. Such actions are just a waste of resources on the

earth. We used to go to work by bike or by bus, but today, people

get cars for convenience. Automotive exhaust emissions have been

the main cause of global warming which has been an important

environmental problem. The environment is changing irreversibly

because of people's desire of possessing stuff.

We can say that gains cannot make up for losses.

In a word, owning too much stuff is inadvisable. Stuff doesn't

mean true happiness, the true happiness comes from the depth in

our hearts. Nobody wants to live under pressure and pollution. So

don't pursue too much, just leave stuff we need, we can feel really

happy with less and less stuff.
