Chinese Wisdom on "Man O Man"

啊!
Man, O Man!
沒錢的時候,養豬;
有錢的時候,養狗。
When you are without money, you keep pigs;
When you have money, you keep dogs.

沒錢的時候,在家裡吃野菜;
有錢的時候,在酒店吃野菜。
When you are without money, you eat at home with your wife;
When you have money, you dine in fine restaurants.

沒錢的時候,在馬路上騎自行車;
有錢的時候,在客廳裡騎自行車。
When you are without money, you move around on a bicycle;
When have money, you ride an exercise bicycle.

沒錢的時候,想結婚;
有錢的時候,想離婚。
When you are without money, you wish to get married;
When have money, you wish to get divorced.

沒錢的時候,老婆兼秘書;
有錢的時候,秘書兼老婆。
When you are without money, your wife becomes your secretary;
When you have money, the secretary becomes your wife.

沒錢的時候,假裝有錢;
有錢的時候,假裝沒錢。
When you are without money, you act like a rich man;
When you have money, you act like a poor man.

人 啊,都不講實話:
Man, O Man, one never tells the truth:

說股票是毒品,都在玩;
說金錢是罪惡,都在撈;
Says sharemarket is bad but keeps speculating;
Says money is evil but keeps accumulating.

說美女是禍水,都想要;
說高處不勝寒,都在爬;
Says women are trouble-makers but keeps desiring them;
Says high positions are lonely but keeps wanting them.

說煙酒傷身體,就不戒;
說天堂最美好,都不去!!!
Says smoking & drinking is bad but keeps partaking in them;
Says heaven is good but refuses to go there.

過去把第一次留給丈夫;
現在把第一胎留給丈夫。
In the past, women give men their virginity;
Now, women gives men their newborn and run.

鄉下早晨雞叫人,
城裡晚上人叫雞;
In the rural area, chickens call and men wake up;
In the cities, men call for chickens.

舊社會戲子賣藝不賣身,
新社會演員賣身不賣藝。
In the past, famous actresses would not sell their bodies;
Now, actresses sell their bodies to get famous

人生是什麼?
What is life about?
1 歲時出場亮相
At one, YOU are the top priority
10 歲時功課至上
At ten, academic excellence is the top priority
20 歲時春心盪漾
At twenty, getting laid is the top priority
30 歲時職場對抗
At thirty, a good career is top priority
40 歲時身材發胖
At forty, keeping your body in shape is top priority
50 歲時打打麻將
At fifty, beating others at mahjong is top priority
60 歲時老當益壯
At sixty, keeping IT up is top priority
70 歲 時 常常 健忘
At seventy, remembering something is top priority
80 歲時搖搖晃晃
At eighty, moving around is top priority
90 歲時迷失方向
At ninety, knowing directions is top priority
100 歲時掛在牆上
At 100, having your portrait on the wall is top priority!

祝大家愉快,好好做人!
Wishing you all happiness! Be good!
