实用语境

Do you think it’s important for people to save money?

你认为存钱重要吗？

Absolutely. Compared to those who live paycheck to paycheck, people who save money are more likely to have peace of mind, because they don’t have to constantly worry about financial troubles. Saving money can also help people prepare for unexpected events, such as medical emergencies, job loss, or car repairs.

当然。与那些月光族（live paycheck to paycheck）相比，存钱的人更容易心平气和，因为他们不必总是担心财务问题。存钱还能帮助人们为意外情况做好准备，如生病、失业或汽车维修。
