　　Selfish and Greedy

　　There is no doubt that some people are selfish and greedy. For example, some

　　merchants sell their fake commodities at the market place for more profit. They are rich and want to be richer. There are also government officials who sell people's trust. Senior officials who take bribes by selling the power in their hands are not a few. Those people believe in the precept "Everyone for himself and the devil take the hind most."

　　However, the majority of people are neither selfish nor greedy. They contribute much and ask for little. Countless examples can be found around us, the PLA soldiers who sacrificed themselves for saving people's lives in fighting the disastrous floods and the warriors in white who risked their lives to save SARS victims being two of the most typical contrast to the selfish and corrupt official they are heroes, who set up glorious images for us.

　　The idea that nowadays people are selfish and greedy is probably attributed to the influence of the mass media which tend to over exaggerate the negative aspects of life. Many newspapers, particularly many local evening papers, and TV films play up nastiness by reporting and showing too much about violence and sex. A lot of books, too, portray selfishness and greed to seek sensational effect and economic profit. I wonder whether they are selfish and greedy, too?

自私和贪婪
毫无疑问，有些人是自私和贪婪的。例如，一些
商人在市场上出售伪劣商品以获取更多利润。他们富有，想要更富有。也有政府官员出卖人民的信任。高级官员谁通过出售手中的权力受贿不是少数。那些人信奉“人人为自己，魔鬼为后者”的信条。
然而，大多数人既不自私也不贪婪。他们贡献很多，要求很少。无数的例子可以发现在我们的周围，解放军战士而牺牲自己的灾难性的洪水和勇士白他们冒着生命危险去救SARS受害者两的自私和腐败官员他们是英雄最典型的对比战斗拯救人们的生命，谁为我们建立美好形象。
现在人们自私贪婪的想法很可能是由于大众媒体的影响，而这些媒体往往夸大了生活的消极方面。许多报纸，特别是许多当地的晚报，电视电影播放了污秽的报告和显示关于暴力和性的太多。很多书也刻画了自私和贪婪，以寻求轰动效应和经济利益。我不知道他们是否自私和贪婪呢？
