5 Harry Thaw And The Bellboy
5.哈利肯德尔陶和侍者

A drug-addicted, spendthrift playboy, Harry K. Thaw encountered much controversy throughout his life because of a tragic love triangle. It included his wife, Evelyn Nesbit, widely considered one America's most beautiful women, and prominent architect Stanford White, whom he would later murder.
作为吸毒，挥霍无度的花花公子，哈利·肯·德尔陶，因为悲惨的三角恋终其一生遭遇很大争议。包括他的妻子，美国公认最美的女人，伊芙琳·内斯比特，以及后来被他谋杀的著名建筑师斯坦福·怀特。
A violent incident foreshadowed his later behavior, though. While courting Nesbit, Thaw went with her and her mother to London, where they stayed at separate hotels.
尽管暴力事件预示了他后来的行为。而陶为了讨好内斯比特，和她以及丈母娘去了伦敦，并住在不同的酒店。
One day, he laid a pile of gold coins on his suite dresser. Then Thaw hid and waited for his bellboy to arrive. Thinking no one was watching, the bellboy took two of the coins.
有一天，他把一堆金币放梳妆台。然后藏起来，等待他的侍者来。想到没有人在看，侍者拿了其中的两个硬币。
Thaw jumped out and dragged the bellboy to the bathroom where he stripped him naked, tied him up, and savagely beat him with a riding crop. Thaw was never punished. To "square the matter," he simply paid a sum of $5,000.
陶跳了出来，把他拖到浴室，扒光他并绑了起来，残忍地用马鞭打。陶并没有受到处罚。为“了结此事”，他只付了5000美元。

4 John Hammond Jr.'s Telepathy Experiments
4.小约翰·哈蒙德的心灵感应实验

John Hays Hammond Jr. was a US inventor whose success allowed him to build the medieval-style Hammond Castle in Gloucester, Massachusetts. There, he had a laboratory where he perfected the remote control technologies for which he's most well-known.
小约翰·海斯·哈蒙德是一位美国发明家，其成就使他成功地在马萨诸塞州的格洛斯特构建中古造型的哈蒙德城堡。在那里，他有一个实验室，完善了让他最出名的的远程控制技术。
From 1951 to 1952, Hammond also worked alongside psychic Eileen Garrett to research telepathy. He put Garrett inside a Faraday cage—which is designed to keep out electromagnetic waves—to see if ESP was carried by electromagnetic waves.
从1951年到1952年，哈蒙德也与灵媒艾琳·加勒特共事研究心灵感应。为了阻挡电磁波，看看ESP是否是由电磁波携带，他把加勒特放进法拉第笼子里。
Allegedly, the cage heated up so much due to the surrounding electromagnetic waves that it left a faded spot on the floor in the castle's Great Hall that is still visible today. In a strange conclusion, Hammond stated that ESP was not carried through electromagnetic waves because Garrett could still communicate with ESP.
据称，由于周围的电磁波笼子升温如此之高以至于它在在城堡的大厅地板上留下了一个褪色点，今天仍然可见。得到一个奇怪的结论，哈蒙德表示，ESP没有被电磁波穿越，因为加勒特仍然可以与ESP交流。

3 Terry Watanabe's Year-Long Gambling Binge
3.特里渡边的长达一年的赌博狂欢

Terry Watanabe's fortune was derived from his family's party favor company in Omaha, Nebraska. Unfortunately, he became severely addicted to gambling, first at a casino in Iowa and later in Las Vegas. Steve Wynn, the owner of the Wynn Las Vegas casino, barred him from his properties. Caesars Palace, however, welcomed Watanabe with open arms.
特里渡边的财富来自内布拉斯加州奥马哈的家族舞会纪念品公司。不幸的是，他严重沉迷于赌博，第一次在爱荷华州，后来在拉斯维加斯。拉斯维加斯永利赌场的主人史蒂夫·韦恩禁止他的财产涌入。然而，凯撒宫张开双臂欢迎渡边。
Over a one-year period that started in 2007, Watanabe gambled away $127 million. In fact, his gambling was responsible for 5.6 percent of Harrah's total profits that year.
从2007年开始的一年多，渡边输了1.27亿美元。事实上，他的赌博占了哈拉总利润的5.6%。
After he refused to pay $14.7 million in credit that he had taken out, they took him to court alleging fraud. According to Watanabe, the staff illegally gave him liquor and painkillers to keep him at the hotel.
之后他拒绝支付取出的1470万美元信贷，被带到法院指控欺诈。渡边表示，工作人非法灌他酒和止痛药把他押在宾馆。
If convicted, Watanabe could have served 28 years in prison. However, all charges were dropped after the two sides struck a confidential deal in 2010.
如果罪名成立，渡边可能在监狱里呆上28年。然而，撤销所有指控后，双方在2010年签署了一份保密协议。

2 J.P. Morgan's Nose
2.摩根大通的鼻子

J.P. Morgan, the legendary financier and one of the wealthiest men who ever lived, was known for his acute business acumen and cutthroat personality. However, Morgan was deeply insecure about his nose.
摩根大通，传奇的金融家和现今最富有的人之一，以他敏锐的商业头脑和残酷的个性而闻名。然而，摩根对他的鼻子深感不安。
His bulbous, deformed nose was the result of the skin condition rosacea, and he went to great lengths to try to conceal it. Almost every photograph of him was retouched, and those taken outside his control were destroyed.
他的球根畸形鼻是皮肤病红斑痤疮导致的。他竭尽全力试图掩盖它。他的照片几乎每一张都被处理过，而他控制范围之外的照片都被毁了。
Due to childhood seizures, Morgan never allowed doctors to treat his nose. He feared that being put under anesthesia would cause his seizures to return. Despite his insecurity about his appearance, he often used it to his advantage because it was intimidating to those who dealt with him.
由于儿童期癫痫发作，摩根决不允许医生治疗他的鼻子。他担心被麻醉会导致癫痫复发。尽管他对外表感到不安，但他经常利用这一点恐吓那些对付他的人。

1 The Lonely Millionaire's Will
1.孤独百万富翁的遗嘱

Luis Carlos de Noronha Cabral da Camara was the illegitimate son of an unloving, aristocratic Portuguese mother. Despite his pedigree and wealth, Carlos never found true happiness and spent much of his life drinking, shooting, and riding motorbikes.
路易斯·卡洛斯·迪·诺罗尼亚·卡布拉尔·达·卡马拉是无爱心的一位葡萄牙贵族母亲的私生子。尽管他的血统和财富，卡洛斯却从未找到真正的幸福，一生大部分时间里都在喝酒，射击和骑摩托车。
Carlos had no children or family, so he wrote up an unusual will. When he finally drank himself to death in 2007, his bizarre last wishes came to fruition. Choosing randomly from a phone book, Carlos had left his entire estate to 70 different people.
卡洛斯既没有孩子也无家庭，所以他写了一个不寻常的遗嘱。当他最终在2007年酗酒去世时，他奇异的最后遗愿实现了。从电话簿中随机选择，卡洛斯将全部财产留给了70个不同的人。
Apparently, Carlos preferred to have his money go to people he didn't know rather than the state, which he believed had already taken enough of his money. Once his estate was divided up, the recipients received several thousand euros each. Many of his inheritors were in complete disbelief, an effect he wanted according to a friend who had witnessed the will.
显然，卡洛斯宁愿把钱给陌生人也不愿留给政府，他认为政府已经有足够的钱了。一旦他的财产被分割，每个接受的人会收到几千欧元。他的众多继承者都完全难以置信，根据见证他遗嘱的朋友所说，这样的影响是他所要的。
