Seth: Why does Taiwan have so many damned scam artists? Ash: Between elderly pensioners and the young and naive like us, there’s a huge market! Seth: But what can be done to stop it? Ash: Maybe stiffer penalties for the criminals? Who knows? I’m sure better education would help. Seth: What kind of class can help with this kind of thing? I thought I won one million dollars last week. If Milt didn’t stop me, I would probably be out of every cent I’ve ever made. (续上期，下期续) 赛司：为什么台湾有这么多可恶的骗徒？ 爱许：从领养老金的老人到像我们一样年轻又好骗的人，这个市场很大啊！ 赛司：但是要如何阻止这类事情发生呢？ 爱许：也许该加重罪犯的刑罚吧？谁知道？我相信更好的教育会有帮助。 赛司：什么课会对这类事件有帮助？上星期我以为我赢了一百万。如果米特没有阻止我，我可能会赔上所赚的每一分钱。 重点解说： ★ damned (a.) 可恶的 ★ pensioner (n.) 领养老金的人 ★ naive (a.) 轻信的，好骗的 ★ stiff (a.) 严厉的 ★ penalty (n.) 罚金，刑罚 ★ criminal (n.) 罪犯 相关资料 |
