實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語情景對(duì)話：關(guān)于金錢 Money
James: Yo! 嗨!
Todd: if you had a million dollars... 如果你有一百萬美元……
James: Mm-hm... 嗯……
Todd: if you won the lottery... 如果你中了彩票……
James: Yes. 是的。
Todd: What would you do? 你會(huì)怎么做?
James: I would buy a small island, build a house there, and invest the rest of my money so that I would never have to work again. 我會(huì)買一座小島，在上面建一座房屋，并且把所有的錢都拿來投資，這樣我就不用再工作了。
Todd: OK, So are you talking a tropical island, or... 好的，你想買熱帶小島，還是……
James: A tropical island, yeah, or maybe I would give it all to charity and have a bridge named after me. 我喜歡熱帶島嶼，也許我會(huì)把所有錢都捐給慈善機(jī)構(gòu)，并且用我的名字捐建一座橋。
Todd: That's two different things there. How bout the island? Would you want to be alone, on a secluded island or? 這完全是兩碼事。那買小島呢?你是想一個(gè)人生活在荒島上，還是?James: No, I would want all of my friends to come and visit me often. 不，我希望我的朋友能經(jīng)常來看我。
Todd: OK. Nice. So how would you pass the time on this island? 很棒。你在島上要怎么打發(fā)時(shí)間?
James: I would read books. I would study. I would go swimming, go fishing, and play with my dog. 我會(huì)讀書，學(xué)習(xí)。我會(huì)去游泳，釣魚，和我的狗一起玩。
Todd: OK. Do think money can make people happy, can buy happiness? 好的。你覺得金錢能使人高興嗎，能換來幸福嗎?
James: No, but it can sometimes make it easier. It depends on what you buy. 不能，但有時(shí)能讓人活得更好。這取決于你怎么花錢了。
