第二单元价值观课文A有钱是否意味着过一种完全不同于普遍人的生活?看来未必,如果你的名字叫萨姆·沃尔顿。
美国乡巴佬首富阿特·哈里斯他穿上餐服准备到美国首富的生日聚会上去担任侍者。
在他的想象里,他定然会看到:豪宅,主人天天要坐的罗尔斯一罗伊斯轿车,戴着钻石颈圈的家犬,到处可见的仆人。
他动身前往那所宅邸,开着车穿过本顿维尔镇冷冷清清的市政广场。
本顿维尔镇是阿肯色州一个仅有9,920人口的偏远小镇,萨姆·沃尔顿就在该镇从一个专卖廉价商品的小店起家,逐渐发展成为价值60亿美金资产的廉价连锁店沃尔玛公司。
侍者上了一条乡间车道,转过一个标着“萨姆和海伦·沃尔顿”的信箱,在一幢林间住宅前跳下了车。
房子还不错,但绝对不是宫殿。
家具略显陈旧,一辆旧的轻便货车停在车库里,褐色的捕禽猎犬在院子里窜来窜去。
根本没看见任何仆人的身影。
“太令人失望了,”侍者杰米·鲍尤叹道。
只有在美国,一个亿万富翁才能像普通百姓一样,安稳地过着普普通通的日子。
67岁的廉价店大王萨姆·穆尔·沃尔顿仍然开着他那辆红白两色的1979年出厂的福特牌轻型货车穿行在弯弯曲曲的乡间小道上,身边坐着他的捕禽猎犬。
当狩猎季节来临时,他跟别人一样在当地的沃尔玛商店排队购买猎枪子弹。
“他不要任何特殊待遇,”夜班经理乔尼·贝克说,他费了好大的劲才如公司最近一份备忘录所规定的那样对自己的老板以名相称。
这里几乎没人去想他的亿万身价,他们称他为萨姆先生;丝毫不以他的平民作风为怪。
“他还是那个在市政广场开廉价店,为了自己的梦想每天工作18个小时的人,一点没变,”市长理查德·霍巴克说。
人人都说他为人友善,性情开朗,是个好邻居;他尽力与人们融洽相处,从不炫耀,也从不盛气凌人。
无论他星期六晚上的夜生活过得多晚,星期日你还是能在教堂见到他。
当然是坐在他的包座上,对吗?“我们不设包座,”当地教堂牧师戈登·加林顿第三说。
