旅游英语口语-拉斯维加斯

（单词翻译）

KAREN: I'm not comfortable¹ about this, Sandy.I don't understand most of these games.
SANDY: That's okay². I can explain³ a little.
KAREN: I don't want to lose⁴ all my money.
SANDY: Don't worry. You can't lose all your money.because you won't gamble⁵ all your money.
KAREN: I guess you're right.
SANDY: Of course⁶ I'm right. I already⁷ told you the rule for Las Vegas. Remember?
KAREN: Yes, I remember.You must decide⁸ how much money you will gamble before you start to play.
SANDY: That's right. That's the best way to have control⁹ over yourself¹⁰.You say to yourself. "Tonight I will gamble fifty dollars. Only fifty dollars. No more."If you follow the rule, you can't lose more than fifty dollars.
KAREN: I know it's true¹¹, Sandy. But still some people lose control.They start to gamble, and they can't stop.
SANDY: But I won't let you do that. I will watch you.
KAREN: Okay.
SANDY: So how much do you want to gamble?
KAREN: Maybe 500 dollars.
SANDY: 500 dollars! That's too much!You just said¹² you are afraid to lose your money.If you're afraid, why do you want to gamble 500 dollars?
KAREN: I don't want people to think I'm stingy.
SANDY: That is a bad attitude¹³ to have, Karen!If you think that way, Las Vegas will be really dangerous for you.
KAREN: So how much should I gamble?
SANDY: Why not fifty or one-hundred dollars?
KAREN: Okay. One-hundred then. Do you think I will lose it?
SANDY: I don't know. You have to be smart, but you have to be lucky¹⁵ too.Some games are all luck¹⁴. With some, you need to be smart.
KAREN: I want games that are all luck.
SANDY: I knew you would¹⁶ say that! Then you should play the slot¹⁷ machines¹⁸.
KAREN: Slot machines? No, I don't want that! That's too boring¹⁹.I want a game with cards or dice²⁰.
SANDY: So what do you want to play then?
KAREN: Blackjack.We can play blackjack. And I will gamble one-hundred, or maybe two-hundred dollars.
SANDY: Huh? You are breaking our rule already! And we didn't even²¹ start to play yet²²!
KAREN: Oh, don't be so strict²³! We are in Las Vegas.
SANDY: Yes, and if I stay with you, we will have to walk back home to New York.Because we will lose all our money and our plane tickets too!
凯伦：我在这里很不自在，仙蒂。大部分的游戏我都不懂。
仙蒂：没关系，我会一点。
凯伦：我不想输光所有的钱。
仙蒂：别担心，你不会一文不剩的因为你不能把所有的钱都拿来赌。
凯伦：你说得对。
仙蒂：那当然。我告诉过你来拉斯维加斯的原则，记得吗？
凯伦：记得。在你开始玩之前，先决定要花多少钱来赌。
仙蒂：没错，这是控制自己最好的方法。你告诉自己今天晚上我只赌 50 美元，就是 50 美元，不能超过。如果你遵守，就不会输掉超过 50 美元。
凯伦：没错。不过有些人还是不能控制。他们一开始赌博就停不下来了。
仙蒂：我不会让你这么做的，我会看着你。
凯伦：好的。
仙蒂：你要花多少钱赌博？
凯伦：大概 500 美元。
仙蒂：500 美元？太多了！你刚刚不是还说怕输光吗，那为什么要赌 500 美元？
凯伦：我不想让人觉得我很小气。
仙蒂：那是错误的心态。如果你那样想，拉斯维加斯对你而言是极危险的。
凯伦：那么我应该花多少钱呢？
仙蒂：50 或 100 美元如何？
凯伦：那么 100 美元好了，我会输光吗？
仙蒂：我不知道。你必须用脑，还要靠点运气。有些游戏是全靠运气，有一些则必须用点大脑。
凯伦：我想玩靠运气的。
仙蒂：我就知道你会这么说，那么你该玩玩吃角子老虎。
凯伦：吃角子老虎？我不想玩那个，太无聊了。我想玩扑克牌或是骰子。
仙蒂：那么你想玩什么游戏？
凯伦：21 点。我们玩 21 点，玩个 100 或 200 美元。
仙蒂：什么？你开始破坏规则了，我们都还没开始玩呢！
凯伦：别太严格嘛，我们是在赌城耶。
仙蒂：是啊！如果我和你在一起，我们就要走路回纽约了！因为我们会输个精光，连机票也没了。
