(原文)Fifty pence worth of trouble


Children always appreciate small gifts of money. Mum or dad, of course, provide a regular supply of pocket money, but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income. With some children, small sums go a long way. If fifty pence pieces are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money boxes. Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money box. For most of them, fifty pence is a small price to pay for a nice big bar of chocolate.

——自《新概念英语》Vol.3,Unit 15

Those students from poor background always appreciate every chance of earning money. Maybe their family provides a regular supply of basic expense, but that's definitely not enough. Therefore, the part time jobs are always a source of extra income. With poor people, 100RMB goes a long way. If their coins are not exchanged for food, they rattle for months inside their pocket. Only those young people who have struggled with money issues can manage to make money. For most of students, 100RMB is a small price to pay for a nice big treat with friends.
