一个富人去请教一位哲学家,为什么自己有钱以后很多人不喜欢他了。哲学家将他带到窗前,说：“向外看,你看到了什么?”富人说：“我看到外面有很多人。”哲学家又将他带到镜子前,问：“现在你又看到了什么?”富人回答说：“我自己。”哲学家一笑,说：“窗子和镜子都是玻璃做的,区别只在于镜子多了一层薄薄的水银。” A wealthy person asks a philosopher why many people do not like him after they have money. The philosopher took him to the window and said, “What do you see when you look outward?” The rich man said, “I saw a lot of people outside.” The philosopher took him to the mirror again and asked: “Now What did you see again?” The rich man replied, “I myself.” The philosopher smiled and said, “The windows and the mirrors are made of glass. The only difference is that the mirror has a thin layer of mercury.”
