5.3 过度消费是否已经成为严重的问题

　　Doctor Gupta: We have been discussing the idea that human well-being does not necessarily improve as a result of increasing production and consumption of goods and services. Some argue that humans already consume too many goods, from clothing to electronics to food; They believe that overconsumption has brought serious problems to human beings and even the earth. Do you agree that overconsumption—buying more than we really need—has become a serious problem? Why or why not?

　　Paul: I totally agree. We are buying far more than we need, and this cannot go on indefinitely. For many years, people have used shopping as a form of entertainment. Products bought on a whim fill landfills, and the energy consumed to produce them contributes to the global warming crisis. We should start to reduce our consumption gradually.

　　Claire: I don't agree with the idea that overconsumption is a serious problem, I agree that there is some overconsumption, but it mostly happens to the rich. I think in general, almost everyone only buys what they need. In fact, many people in the world don't even have access to everything they need.

　　参考观点：

　　同意：

　　理由 1：过度消费的确存在，导致了资源的浪费，这对环境和可持续发展产生了负面影响。

　　理由 2：过度消费的确存在，导致了个人财务问题，如债务过多，这对个人和社会都有害。

　　不同意：

　　理由 1：现在并不存在过度消费的问题，因为大部分人都还是基于自己的收入水平和需求理性消费的。

　　理由 2：购买超过我们所需的东西，只要在合理范围内，就还是利大于弊的。消费是推动经济增长的重要因素，消费可以创造就业，推动创新，提高生活质量。此外，只要消费行为是可持续的，过度消费就不是问题。我们应该关注的是如何实现可持续消费，而不是减少消费。

　　高频表达：

　　waste of resources - 资源的浪费

　　negative impact on the environment and sustainable development - 对环境和可持续发展的负面影响

　　personal financial problems - 个人财务问题

　　drive economic growth - 推动经济增长
