哼，你看这篇文章的标题" 慈善是一种习惯"，我看还不如改成" 慈善是有钱人的一种习惯" 呢！
hèng ，nǐ kàn zhè piān wénzhāng de biāotí " císhàn shì yīzhǒng xíguàn "，wǒ kàn hái bùrú gǎichéng " císhàn shì yǒuqiánrén de yīzhǒng xíguàn " ne ！
Hey, look at the title of this article ''Charity is a Habit." I think it would be better to call it ''Charity is a habit for the wealthy."
谁说慈善是有钱人的专利？慈善就是善良的举动，愿意帮助别人。像这次地震，多少人都捐了款，这就是慈善。
shéi shuō císhàn shì yǒuqiánrén de zhuānlì ？císhàn jiùshì shànliáng de jǔdòng ，yuànyì bāngzhù biérén 。xiàng zhècì dìzhèn ，duōshao rén dōu juān le kuǎn ，zhè jiùshì císhàn 。
Who says the rich have a monopoly on charity? Charity means generous acts, and wanting to helping others. Think of the recent earthquake. How many people made donations-- that's charity.
但是哪家媒体把这个叫慈善？只有排场大，有明星、名人，大笔捐款的才叫慈善。还有人说界定有钱人的标准就是做慈善。总之，那就是个名利场。
dànshì nǎ jiā méitǐ bǎ zhège jiào císhàn ？zhǐyǒu páichǎng dà ，yǒu míngxīng 、míngrén ，dàbǐ juānkuǎn de cái jiào císhàn 。hái yǒurén shuō jièdìng yǒuqiánrén de biāozhǔn jiùshì zuò císhàn 。zǒngzhī ，nà jiùshì ge mínglìchǎng 。
But did any media outlets call it charity? Only big occasions with stars and huge donations get called charity. Then there are some people who say that the defining standard for the wealthy is charity. In sum, it's a forum for wealth and fame.
那是他们歪曲了慈善的含义。慈是慈悲，善是善良，最重要的是有这样的心。
nàshì tāmen wāiqū le císhàn de hányì 。cí shì cíbēi ，shàn shì shànliáng ，zuì zhòngyào de shì yǒu zhèyàng de xīn 。
They've distorted the implications of charity. The most important thing is to have a heart filled with mercy and goodness.
