我意识到,您可以习惯某些奢侈品,以至于您开始认为它们是必需品,但是当您必须放弃它们时,您会看到您毕竟不需要它们。需要事物和想要的东西之间有很大的区别 - 尽管很多人很难告诉两个人,并且在牧场上,我可以看到,我们几乎拥有我们需要的一切,但几乎没有其他珍贵的东西。
(I realized that you can get so used to certain luxuries that you start to think they're necessities, but when you have to forgo them, you come to see that you don't need them after all. There was a big difference between needing things and wanting things-though a lot of people had trouble telling the two apart-and at the ranch, I could see, we'd have pretty much everything we'd need but precious little else.)
