TranslatethefollowingpassageintoChinese.雖然不同的人對“家”有不同的解釋，但是大部分人認為家是一個讓人感到舒適和寧靜的地方。然而，現在人們看重的是房子，而不是家，因為擁有物質財產表明社會地位。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。我認為家是重要的，因為那是為我們遮風擋雨、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：“無論是國王還是農夫，在家找到安寧的人是最幸福的人?！蔽覒褢偻舻娜兆樱菚r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，我們必須面對現實，面對一個允許人們擁有彩虹般多彩經歷的當今社會。重要的是，不管我們追求什么，我們不應該忽視所追求的東西的情感和精神內涵。ExercisesforintegratedskillsI.
