### 正方一辩 　　Ah well, today I want to talk about the basic topic about more money means more happiness. I very much agree with it because Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory has shown that the physiological and safety needs are the most fundamental human needs. Having more money can meet those needs, laying the foundations for happiness.

　　When people don't have to worry about food, shelter, and basic medical care, their psychological stress is greatly reduced, making it easier for them to feel happy. Also, a World Bank study shows that among people below the poverty line, there is a significant positive correlation between an increase in income and an improvement in life satisfaction. When people's income can meet their basic living needs, their sense of happiness about life is significantly enhanced. So, I think more money means more happiness.

　　Well, hello everyone. Today I want to talk about the topic that more money means more happiness. First of all, according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, it shows that the physiological needs and safety needs are the most fundamental needs of human beings. When you have more money, you can directly meet those needs and lay a foundation for happiness.

　　So, when people don't have to worry about their food and basic medical care, they don't have too much psychological stress. Therefore, they can more easily experience happiness. In addition, there is also a study. A World Bank study shows that among people below the poverty line, there is a positive correlation between an increase in income and an improvement in life satisfaction. When people's income can meet their basic needs, their sense of happiness about life will significantly increase.

　　Um, hello everyone. Today I want to talk about the topic that more money means more happiness. Because according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, the physiological needs and safety needs are the most fundamental aspects of human living. So, if you have more money, it can directly meet those needs and lay a foundation for happiness.

　　So, when people don't have to worry about their food, housing, or basic medical care, it means they don't have too much psychological stress, and they can more easily feel happy. So, I think more money means more happiness.

　　### 反方一辩 　　Well, the view that more money means more happiness you mentioned is that if we have more money, problems such as medical care, housing, and food can be solved. However, I think more money means less happiness. Because if someone has more money, it may bring some problems and stress. They may be stressed in their relationships because of more money. Due to a lack of spiritual pursuit, I think more money can lead to less happiness.

　　来，我谈谈哈佛的研究。这涉及更多的选择和机会。

　　我先理顺一下英文表述。Well, I will study about Harvard University. A long - term study of students who graduated from Harvard University shows that the students who have a higher income, that means they have more choices for their jobs. They can choose the jobs they truly are interested in, not only just to work for a living. So this kind of choice for career is closely related to their life satisfaction and happiness.

　　我想明确一点，更多的钱意味着你能有更多选择，去选择你想要的任何东西。If you don't have more money, then how can you talk about more happiness? 也就是说，没有更多的钱，你就无法做出更多选择。更多的钱意味着你有更多机会去选择你想要的东西，没有更多的钱，何谈更多的幸福。

　　下面我再规范说一遍英文。Well, according to a research about a long - term study of Harvard University graduate students, it's found that those students who have a higher income have more choices for the jobs they are truly interested in, not only just for working for a living. This kind of choice of career is closely related to their life satisfaction and happiness. I want to ask clearly, more money also means you have more choices for anything you want. If you don't have more money, how can you talk about more happiness?

　　有些人正是因为受金钱限制，可选择范围小，所以更容易做出决定，从而获得简单的幸福。而当拥有更多钱时，为维持现状，需要面对激烈竞争和风险。以互联网工作为例，为了赚更多钱，从业者要保持领先地位，每天工作16个小时以上，长期处于高压状态，患上焦虑症。I have some serious anxiety.

　　Well, to your question, I think if someone has less money, they will have fewer choices and can make decisions more easily. They can get happiness from this. So I think more money means less happiness because those who have more money need to work hard to keep it. For example, workers in Internet companies need to maintain a leading position and work for more than sixteen hours in a state of high pressure. They have serious anxiety, and their quality of life and sense of happiness decline.

　　我认为这取决于你如何安排。If you can appropriately arrange your time and money, maybe you can also feel happiness. For example, the stress of some people is not caused by more money but by their attitude. If they can take an active attitude towards happiness and appropriately arrange their money, they can gain a sense of satisfaction and feel happy.

　　Well, you said if they can arrange their money and time well, they can make more money and be happier. But I think if they have more money, they may fall into a state of confusion. This makes it impossible for them to arrange their money and time reasonably. They will only satisfy their immediate desires without thinking about arrangements, so they won't get happiness.

　　结辩时，不能像自由辩论那样，时间只有30秒，要表明自己的观点。你认为有更多钱，如果能合理安排时间、任务和金钱，就能获得更多快乐。但我认为，当人有了更多钱，会陷入一个无法满足自己的怪圈，陷入迷茫和困惑，不知道如何合理安排，只满足于当下金钱能带来的东西，不去思考，从而导致更少的快乐。

　　我结辩大概会说：更多的钱不仅可以满足基本需求，还能提供更多选择和机会，甚至改善生活品质。所以，更多的钱意味着更幸福。

　　Well, today my topic I want to talk about is “more money means more happiness”.

　　According to the Maslow's need series, it shows that physical and safety are the most fundamental human needs. So having more money can directly meet those needs and lay the foundation for happiness. When people don't have to worry about food and basic medical care, their physical stress is greatly reduced, making it easier for them to feel happy. All in all, I think more money means more happiness.

　　To address what you said, I think the fundamental things we need in our daily life can be fulfilled with basic money. What we are discussing today is that we need more money. We spend much time earning more money.

　　However, I think if we have more money, we will have less happiness. Because if we want more money, it means we have to bear much responsibility and pressure, such as maintaining our social status and so on. In conclusion, my opinion today is that more money will mean less happiness.

　　Well, there is also a researcher who conducted a long - term study of Harvard University graduate students. They found that those students with higher incomes have more choices for their jobs. They can choose the jobs they are truly interested in, rather than just working for a living.

　　This kind of career choice is closely related to their life satisfaction and happiness. So I want to ask clearly: if more money means you have more choices for anything you want, how can we discuss more happiness without more money?

　　Well, to your question, I think if we have more money, we can have more choices. However, we should also learn how to make more correct decisions. Having more choices may bring some confusion to us and maybe some stress. This doesn't mean happiness. There is a survey from an American mental organization. High - income people: forty - five percent of them say that their choice of high - income work makes them feel stressed and tired, and they don't have the happiness in their daily life. So I think if students make choices because they have more money, they may not be happy either.

　　Well, I don't agree with you. I don't think the stress is caused by more money. I think maybe when people can appropriately arrange their time and manage their money, they can gain a strong sense of satisfaction and happiness. So I think the main reason for stress is not more money. It is just people's attitude towards more money.

　　Well, you said that if they can manage their time and money appropriately, they can create more happiness. I think if they have more money than they need, they will lose control and get into a strange cycle of earning more money. They won't arrange things reasonably but just want to get more money to satisfy themselves.
