中文故事

菲茨威廉老先生以其古怪的习惯而闻名。他会克制（refrain）数日不说话，但他的沉默却有一种奇特的魅力（allure）。一个阳光明媚的下午，一位急于获取独家新闻的年轻记者试图揭露（disclose）菲茨威廉传说中的隐藏财富。菲茨威廉一如既往地懒散（indolent），只是笑了笑。记者穷追不舍，但老人纹丝不动。最后，看到记者放荡（dissolute）地追求八卦，菲茨威廉决定收回（retract）他先前的沉默。“唯一的财富，”他嘶哑地说，“是宁静生活带来的快乐，这是一个广泛（widespread）却很少被接受的真理。”

英语故事

Old Man Fitzwilliam was known for his peculiar habits. He would refrain from speaking for days, yet his silence held a certain allure. One sunny afternoon, a young reporter, eager for a scoop, tried to disclose Fitzwilliam's rumored hidden fortune. Fitzwilliam, in his usual indolent fashion, merely smiled. The reporter pressed, but the old man wouldn't budge. Finally, seeing the reporter’s dissolute pursuit of gossip, Fitzwilliam decided to retract his earlier silence. 'The only fortune,' he rasped, 'is the joy of a quiet life, a truth widespread yet rarely embraced.'
