TranslatethefollowingpassageintoChinese.雖然不同的人對“家”有不同的解釋，但是大部分人認(rèn)為家是一個讓人感到舒適和寧靜的地方。然而，現(xiàn)在人們看重的是房子，而不是家，因為擁有物質(zhì)財產(chǎn)表明社會地位。一個人只有取得一定的社會地位，才能贏得社會的尊重。因此，寬敞的房子、時髦的裝潢便成了許多人夢寐以求的東西。我認(rèn)為家是重要的，因為那是為我們遮風(fēng)擋雨、提供一日三餐的地方，更因為家是讓我們感到踏實、有私密空間的地方。歌德說過：“無論是國王還是農(nóng)夫，在家找到安寧的人是最幸福的人。”我懷戀往昔的日子，那時家是一個人從搖籃到墓地一輩子居住的地方，因此，人們對家有著千絲萬縷的情感依戀。然而，一個人可以懷舊，但不能生活在過去。相反，我們必須面對現(xiàn)實，面對一個允許人們擁有彩虹般多彩經(jīng)歷的當(dāng)今社會。重要的是，不管我們追求什么，我們不應(yīng)該忽視所追求的東西的情感和精神內(nèi)涵。ExercisesforintegratedskillsI.
