Nikky: did u play that before?
Brain: yes
Nikky: show.
Brain: and there are a lot species of lotteries(这里有很多种彩票)
【注】去年整整一年的时间,我不间断的买过很多彩票,上海几乎所有类型的彩票我都买过,但收效甚微,投入与产出比为1000:0,连最小的5元钱都没有中过,也很难说我买彩票是为了什么,只是觉得每周上海都有好几个百万富翁产生,不论是福利彩票还是体育彩票。
Nikky: and the highest money ? (最高奖金是多少?)
【注】这个nikky也想知道中国彩票的玩法。
Brain: 5 million RMB
Nikky: is that a lot?
Brain: definitely a lot, I can live forever with 5 million RMB with whatever I want to do.【注】5百万对富人来说,也不是一个小数目。
Nikky: so that's a lot in China.
Brain: yes, how about the lottery in US, is it popular? (美国彩票怎么个玩法,流行么?)
Nikky: popular is not a right word here, more than it, a lot of people, u know , the jackpot prize.【注】jackpot桥牌术语,累积赌注,累积奖金,美国人玩彩票讲究积累奖金,不像在国内,不管是福利彩票还是体育彩票,也不管奖金积累到5百万是否封顶,美国彩票的特等奖奖金有时候甚至可以高达几十亿美金,子子孙孙无穷尽也。
Brain: and the highest pay is how much?
Nikky: billions of 102/p>
Brain: u ever bought the lottery?
Nikky: yeah, but just for fun (只是玩玩)
Brain: oo, what if one day u really win the lottery?
Nikky: well, hard to imagine, possibly I will share a lot of it with my best relatives, my mom, and family and friends
Brain: and buy a new house
Nikky: yeah, I will build a new house in Santa Fe style【注】Santa Fe,查了词典知道是美国一地名,在这里nikky有可能指的是一种建筑风格。
Brain: u like history and culture
Nikky: J
Brain: and with some artifacts【注】艺术品,史前古器物
很多导游其实会发现,真正有鉴赏能力的外国人来上海去的地方可能不是东方名著,也不是金贸大厦,而是博物馆。
Nikky: yes
Brain: what artifacts that u want your house with?
Nikky: American Indian artifacts.
Brain: is it more nature for u?
Nikky: yes:)
