We remember waking up in Paris, Vienna or Shanghai and having a smile on our faces as we were opening our eyes.

我们会念念不忘在巴黎、维也纳或在上海醒来的时刻，睁开眼睛时我们脸上会挂着微笑。

一座美丽的城市具有无形的经济价值

A beautiful city has intangible economic value.

The people are happier, you enjoy life more. Walking to a coffee shop and sipping your macchiato overseeing beauty early on in the day, fills you with an energy like no other.

Yes, beautiful cities are expensive to live in, but there’s nothing quite like the energy you get in them. Going on a run in central park or down the boardwalk in Santa Monica, grabbing a cold pressed smoothie in the La Boqueria marketplace in Barcelona is something different.

在美丽的城市居住，人们更快乐，你会更享受生活。清晨，走到咖啡馆，啜饮你的玛奇亚托咖啡，欣赏美景，让你充满前所未有的活力。

的确，美丽的城市生活成本很高，但没有什么能比得上你在其中获得的能量更为奇妙。去中央公园跑步，或者沿着圣莫尼卡的木板路跑步，在巴塞罗那的拉博克利亚市场上抓一杯冷榨冰沙，这是另一种惬意的享受。

And most people settle for the city they were born in because of convenience. Dream bigger Aluxers, travel, see these places and make it your mission to one day – maybe soon – to enjoy all the benefits these incredible places offer. Pick the one that works best for you!

大多数人定居在自己出生的城市是因为它们给我们带来便利。每人都会梦想更大的豪宅，梦想更奇妙的旅行，看看这些地方，让它成为你的梦中打卡之地，有一天——也许很快——你会享受这些令人难以置信的地方给你提供的所有福利。挑一个最适合你的城市去放飞梦想！

流光溢彩像极了我们梦想中的生活

Luxury is not having to do something just because you have to.奢侈不是因为你必须做某件事就必须去做。

If you’ve been an Aluxer for a while, you know we’re big advocates for waking up as early as you can to make the most out of each day, but do it because you’re excited to wake up, you’re excited about what awaits you.

如果你有一段时间是一名奢侈享乐者，你知道我们会倡导尽可能早起，充分利用每一天的每一寸光阴，但你这样做是因为你兴奋地醒来，你兴奋地等待着每一份美好的事物。

Sacrificing sleep, just to shower, put some clothes on, be stuck in traffic until you eventually end up in an office, doing an unfulfilling job just because it pays the bills, doesn’t seem to us like it’s something anyone wants to do.

睡眼惺忪地醒来，匆匆洗澡，穿上衣服，在车流中龟速前行前往公司，火急火燎地进入办公室，干着一份没有成就感的工作，仅仅因为你要养家活口、要支付日常开支账单，在我们看来，这都是不得已的选择。

Many of you know that those extra 30 minutes, spent in bed with holding your partner tight make life worth it and you shouldn’t have to sacrifice those moments because there aren’t that many to begin with.

你们很多人心知肚明，在床上与伴侣多呆30分钟是何等奢侈，你不应该牺牲这些时间，因为人生一开始时间就余额不足。

一觉睡到自然醒是我们梦寐以求的奢华

Time goes by so quickly, it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of everything urgent and important without realizing what’s important in the long run.Truth be told, you’re not getting a sec时光匆匆，你们很容易陷入焦头烂额的事务漩涡之中，从来意识不到从长计议是何等重要！

Spending time with them, showing them the world, being an active part in their development, for many is a luxury. Life is complicated, expensive and difficult to navigate. Sacrifices need to be made and some, end up sacrificing this once in a lifetime opportunity to spend time with their kids saying it’s for their future, for their benefit.

花时间和他们多呆一会，带他们周游世界，给他们制定发展规划，这对许多人来说是一种奢望。生活是复杂的、成本高昂和难以驾驭的。我们需要做出牺牲，对家庭，我们是需要作出牺牲的。有些人一辈子偶尔牺牲一次机会陪伴孩子，说这是为了他们的未来，为了他们的利益。

Same goes for your partner. The spark you had initially slowly fades away because people take relationships for granted.

你的伴侣也是如此。你们最初爱情的火花会慢慢消失，因为人们认为夫妻关系慢慢变淡是理所当然的。

When’s the last time you truly made your partner smile? When’s the last time they told you they love you and you felt it?

你最近一次让你的伴侣开怀微笑是什么时候？你的另一半最近一次告诉他（她）爱你是什么时候，你还有怦然心动的感觉吗？

It’s easy to think of cars, bags, sneakers, dolla bills, chains and whatever else MTV told you was luxury, but the moment you take a step back you see clearly what makes you wealthy.

当MTV电视台告知你奢侈品定义的时候，你们会很容易想到汽车、名牌包包、运动鞋、现钞以及金项链，但当你回头想想，你就会清楚地看到是什么让你变得富有。
