新视野大学英语视听说教程第二册 Unit 7 Model 2 Can money buy everything?

Peter: I’m trying to think of ways to become rich. If I could get my hands on a lot of money, I’ll be really happy.

Jane: Do you really think so? I’m not so sure.

Peter: Of course, why wouldn’t I? I’d be able to have anything I want.

Jane: Well, there are plenty of people who have a lot of money but aren’t happy. What do you say to that?

Peter: But if I became a millionaire, I’d buy whatever I wanted.

Jane: Can you buy true love? Can you buy the moon?

Peter: Maybe not, but I can buy a house with a lot of modern conveniences.

Jane: So many people think like you do, buy look at all the divorces, suicides and murders among wealthy people. How do you explain that?

Peter: Maybe there’s something in what you said.
