Im trying to limit my spending right now because Im saving up for a deposit to buy a house.

我在节省开支，因为我想存钱买房子。

Thrift is not a simple idea to define. Its to do with living a simple life free from the need to constantly buy the latest products. Its an idea connected to frugality - being careful not to spend too much money.

节俭不太好下定义。它是指过简单的生活，而不是总想着买最新产品。它与朴素有关，即花钱很仔细。

Todays consumer culture encourages us to spend, spend, spend, but it hasnt always been that way. The Victorians for example told people to save up for a rainy day, meaning to keep some money back in case of unforeseen emergencies. Once people had enough to meet their kind of basic needs there was this kind of moral slide into consumerism. Theres no point denying that, certainly in the developed world, theres been a rise in consumer capitalism, thats just a truism, but thrift hasnt declined.

现在的消费文化鼓励我们买买买，但以前不是这样的。以前人们常说有备无患，未雨绸缪，意思是存点钱以备不时之需。人们一旦有足够的钱满足基本需要，就会出现消费主义的道德滑坡。毫无疑问，在发达国家，消费资本主义已兴起，这是不言自明的事实，但是仍有人很节俭。

上文改述：In modern times, peoples motivation to save up and be thrifty declined once they had enough to meet their basic needs - the basic necessities needed to survive, like food, clothes and shelter and nothing extra. Once these basic needs were satisfied, people moved away from thrift into consumerism, the desire to buy luxury products which were not absolutely necessary. According to some, this created a moral slidea decrease in the standards of behaving in good, fair and honest ways.

现在，一旦人们的基本需要生存必需品，比如食物、衣服、住所得到满足，省钱和节俭的动力就会下降。一旦满足了基本需求，人们就会从节俭走向消费主义，想买并不必要的奢侈品。有些人认为这产生了一种道德滑坡：良好、恰当、诚实的行为标准的降低。

又一种改述：In recent times, peoples ability to meet their basic needs have reduced the importance of thrift, which some believe has created a moral slidea reduction in standards of moral behaviour.

现在，人们满足基本需要生存必需品比如吃喝住的能力提高，削弱了节俭的重要性。有人认为这导致道德滑坡道德行为标准的下降。
