参考答案：我曾碰见过这样一群人，他们工作很艰苦，却总充满欢笑和歌声。按照西方人的标准来看，这些人一贫如洗，没有自来水和电，也没有其他现代便利设施。但是，他们表现出极大的生活乐趣，他们有着强烈的幽默感，喜欢跳舞打鼓到天明。我从中学到了今后几十年也将难忘的一课：幸福并非建筑于物质财富之上。也正是这一课最终让我开始质疑所谓的美国梦——尽可能获取更多的金钱、权力和地位的理想。

(Woman) I experienced a community 0f people who worked hard, but always with plenty of laughter and singing. These people were dirt poor by western standards, with no running water, electricity or any other modern convenience. Yet, they displayed tremendous joy in their lives, with their keen senses of humor and their liking for dancing and drumming till the early hours of the morning. I learned a powerful lesson that would continue to impress me for decades to come. happiness is not dependent on material wealth. And it was this lesson that eventually led me to question the American Dream—a dream of gaining as much money, power, and status as humanly possible.
