Sometimes, it's hard to decide whether a person is successful or not, because there are many criteria, such as the money one earns, the achievements one gets. In reality, some Americans judge success by the length of their vacations. The man who gets a month's vacation each year considers himself more successful than the man who gets two weeks. Many people want to be teachers because it is teachers who can get a three-month vacation every year.Some college teachers who teach three classes consider themselves less successful than those who teach only one or two, or none in all. In short, the less work Americans do, the more successful they consider themselves. In your opinion, what is success?
有时候，我们很难断定一个人是否成功，因为有很多标准，比如一个人赚钱的多少，他取得的成就。现实生活中，一些美国人以假期的长短来判断成功。一个每年有一个月的假期的男人认为自己比那些有两个前星期的假期的人更成功。很多人想成为老师是因为老师每年都有三个月的假期。有的大学老师上三节课的老师认为他们没有那些只上一两节或是根本不上课的老师成功。总之，美国人的工作越少，他们就认为自己更成功。在你看来什么是成功呢？
