你认识Greedy 的人吗？他们过于渴望拥有某物，为了得到它可以不择手段。人们可能会因为各种事物而变得Greedy ，如金钱、权力、名誉、食物等。每个人都需要金钱和食物，所以很多人可能对它们有强烈的欲望。
正如我们所知，在经济方面，金钱永远不够，人们对食物、衣物、住房和其他必需品的需求永无止境。在这些情况下，人们很容易变得Greedy 。我们可以看到或听到富人渴望拥有更多的金钱。
我们可以说他们是Greedy 的，但我们呢？我们不也希望拥有比现在更多吗？可以说所有人都有Greedy 的一面。有些人Greedy 于金钱，有些Greedy 于食物，名誉等。无论我们渴望拥有什么，我们都应确保我们是公平努力去获得它。

My colleagues are greedy. They eat a lot and they don’t share their food, but when they see me eating, they always grab my food before I can say no.
