场景:小华和小红从未涉足过博彩业,看到美国超级百万彩票巨额奖金池高达8.1亿美元消息后,他们的反应分别是:1)做白日梦;2)购买彩票;3)洗洗睡吧;4)研究彩票业的底层逻辑;5)(选项可以自己脑补)


Xiaohua:Hey, Xiaohong, have you heard the news of US lottery Mega Million?

小华:嘿,小红,你听说美国超级百万彩票的新闻了吗?

Xiaohong:Nope. What's it about?

小红:没呢。关于什么啊?

Xiaohua:It's about the drawing. Several hours after the Mega Million lottery's drawing of the winning numbers - 13, 67, 45, 57, 36 and Mega Ball 14, it's still not clear if anyone would be able to claim the $810 million Mega Millions jackpot.

小华:关于抽奖的。虽然超级百万彩票开奖公布了中奖号码是13, 67, 45, 57, 36,超级号码是14,但是数小时后,仍然不清楚是否有人能够领取8.1亿美元的超级百万头奖。

Xiaohong:Wow, that's a lot of money.

小红:哇,那么多钱。

Xiaohua:So, if you were the winner of the jackpot, what would you do?

小华:所以,如果中了头彩,你会干嘛?

Xiaohong:Well, it's hard for me. Maybe I would donate it to the Project Hope. And you?

小红:嗯,好难啊。也许我会捐给希望工程吧。你呢?

Xiaohua:I would buy a big house for my family and go travelling with my parents.

小华:我给爸妈买套大房子,和爸妈去旅游。

Xiaohong:Sounds good.

小红:听起来不错啊。

Xiaohua:But you know what, the jackpot was the country's fourth-largest lottery prize.

There was one jackpot-winning ticket in the draw. It was bought at a gas station and convenience store.

小华:但是你知道吗,这次头奖是美国第四大彩票头奖。头奖已产生,这张彩票是在加油站便利店售出的。

Xiaohong:So, it's thrilling to witness one of the biggest jackpot winners.

小红:所以,能见证头奖最大赢家真是非常扣人心弦啊。

Xiaohua:Shall we go and get a ¥2 ticket now?

小华:我们现在去买张2元彩票吧?
