[00:00.10]	Now, the VOA
[00:12.70]	Special English program
[00:15.09]	WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
[00:17.67]	I think people everywhere
[00:20.16]	dream about having lots of money.
[00:23.40]	I know I do.
[00:24.89]	I would give anything
[00:27.23]	to make money hand over fist.
[00:30.12]	I would like to earn
[00:32.01]	large amounts of money.
[00:34.25]	You could win a large amount
[00:37.08]	of money in the United States
[00:38.92]	through lotteries.
[00:41.31]	People pay money for tickets
[00:44.01]	with numbers.
[00:45.40]	If your combination
[00:47.79]	of numbers is chosen,
[00:49.75]	you win a huge amount of money
[00:53.19]	– often in the millions.
[00:55.53]	Winning the lottery is a windfall.
[00:59.41]	A few years ago,
[01:02.49]	my friend Al won the lottery.
[01:05.48]	It changed his life.
[01:07.87]	He did not have a rich family.
[01:11.05]	He was not born
[01:12.64]	with a silver spoon
[01:14.64]	in his mouth.
[01:15.88]	Instead, my friend was
[01:18.42]	always hard up for cash.
[01:20.41]	He did not have much money.
[01:23.05]	And the money he did earn
[01:25.63]	was chicken feed – very little.
[01:28.92]	Sometimes Al even had
[01:31.51]	to accept hand-outs, gifts
[01:34.34]	from his family and friends.
[01:36.48]	But do not get me wrong.
[01:38.67]	My friend was not a deadbeat.
[01:41.66]	He was not the kind of person
[01:44.00]	who never paid the money he owed.
[01:46.98]	He simply pinched pennies.
[01:50.22]	He was always very careful
[01:52.86]	with the money he spent.
[01:54.50]	In fact, he was often
[01:56.94]	a cheapskate.
[01:58.33]	He did not like to spend money.
[02:01.32]	The worst times were
[02:04.30]	when he was flat broke
[02:06.29]	and had no money at all.
[02:08.88]	One day, Al scraped together
[02:13.56]	a few dollars for a lottery ticket.
[02:16.54]	He thought he would never
[02:18.68]	strike it rich or gain lots
[02:21.92]	of money unexpectedly.
[02:23.86]	But his combination of numbers
[02:27.54]	was chosen and he won the lottery.
[02:31.42]	He hit the jackpot.
[02:33.86]	He won a great deal of money.
[02:37.00]	Al was so excited.
[02:40.39]	The first thing he did
[02:42.78]	was buy a costly new car.
[02:46.21]	He splurged on the one thing
[02:49.60]	that he normally would not buy.
[02:52.48]	Then he started spending money
[02:56.57]	on unnecessary things.
[02:59.10]	He started to waste it.
[03:01.95]	It was like he had money to burn.
[03:05.38]	He had more money than he needed
[03:08.97]	and it was burning a hole
[03:11.70]	in his pocket so he spent it quickly.
[03:15.44]	When we got together for a meal
[03:19.23]	at a restaurant, Al paid every time.
[03:23.51]	He would always foot the bill,
[03:26.05]	and pick up the tab.
[03:27.89]	He told me the money made him
[03:31.47]	feel like a million dollars.
[03:33.91]	He was very happy.
[03:36.50]	But, Al spent too much money.
[03:40.28]	Soon my friend was down and out again.
[03:44.36]	He had no money left.
[03:46.75]	He was back to being
[03:49.24]	strapped for cash.
[03:50.78]	He had spent his bottom dollar,
[03:53.52]	his very last amount.
[03:56.35]	He did not even build up a nest egg.
[04:00.48]	He had not saved any of the money.
[04:03.87]	I admit I do feel sorry
[04:07.56]	for my friend.
[04:08.81]	He had enough money to live like a king.
[04:12.69]	Instead, he is back to living
[04:16.02]	on a shoestring -- a very low budget.
[04:19.60]	Some might say he is penny wise
[04:23.39]	and pound foolish.
[04:25.28]	He was wise about small things,
[04:28.01]	but not about important things.

[00:00.10]	现在，美国之声
[00:12.70]	特别英语栏目
[00:15.09]	词汇和他们的典故
[00:17.67]	我认为所有人
[00:20.16]	都想有很多钱
[00:23.40]	我也是如此
[00:24.89]	我愿意付出所有的代价
[00:27.23]	来挣钱
[00:30.12]	我愿意去赚
[00:32.01]	很多的钱
[00:34.25]	在美国，你可能会赢得
[00:37.08]	大量的钱
[00:38.92]	通过彩票
[00:41.31]	人们花大量的钱
[00:44.01]	来购买彩票
[00:45.40]	如果你买的号码
[00:47.79]	与公布的一致
[00:49.75]	那你就会赢得很多钱
[00:53.19]	一般是几百万
[00:55.53]	中彩票就像是一笔横财
[00:59.41]	几年前
[01:02.49]	我的朋友AI就中了彩票
[01:05.48]	着改变了他的生活
[01:07.87]	他出自于贫苦家庭
[01:11.05]	他出生时
[01:12.64]	在他的嘴里
[01:14.64]	并没有含着银勺子
[01:15.88]	并且，我的朋友
[01:18.42]	总是为了生计奔波
[01:20.41]	他并不富裕
[01:23.05]	并且她所挣的钱
[01:25.63]	就像鸡饲料一样，非常少
[01:28.92]	有时AI甚至
[01:31.51]	需要接受
[01:34.34]	来自他的家庭和朋友的施舍
[01:36.48]	但是令我犯错的是
[01:38.67]	我的朋友并不是一个赖账不还的人
[01:41.66]	他并不是那种
[01:44.00]	从来不为自己买账的人
[01:46.98]	他只是缺钱
[01:50.22]	在花钱的时候
[01:52.86]	他总是非常小心
[01:54.50]	事实上，他就是
[01:56.94]	一个小气鬼
[01:58.33]	他不喜欢花钱
[02:01.32]	在最糟糕的时候
[02:04.30]	他一贫如洗
[02:06.29]	并且家徒四壁
[02:08.88]	有一天，AI刮开彩票
[02:13.56]	只用了一点点钱购买
[02:16.54]	她认为他从来不会
[02:18.68]	变得富裕
[02:21.92]	或者意外之中获得大量的钱
[02:23.86]	但是刮出来的号码与他选择的号码一样
[02:27.54]	他中了彩票
[02:31.42]	他中了头奖
[02:33.86]	他赢了很多钱
[02:37.00]	AI非常兴奋
[02:40.39]	他做的第一件事就是
[02:42.78]	买一辆新车
[02:46.21]	他将钱挥霍在
[02:49.60]	并不是通常要买的东西
[02:52.48]	接着他开始将他的钱
[02:56.57]	花费在一些不必要的事情上
[02:59.10]	他开始浪费钱
[03:01.95]	就像拿着钱在烧一样
[03:05.38]	他并不需要那么多钱
[03:08.97]	正在用钱燃烧一个洞
[03:11.70]	因此特的钱用的非常快
[03:15.44]	我们每次在餐馆吃饭的时候
[03:19.23]	总是AI付钱
[03:23.51]	他总是
[03:26.05]	买单
[03:27.89]	他总是告诉我
[03:31.47]	这些钱使得他就像一个百万富翁
[03:33.91]	他非常高兴
[03:36.50]	但是，AI花了太多的钱了
[03:40.28]	很快他再次变穷了
[03:44.36]	他没有钱可以挥霍了
[03:46.75]	他又变回去了
[03:49.24]	又在为了钱而奔波
[03:50.78]	他用光了她的钱
[03:53.52]	他的大量的钱
[03:56.35]	他甚至连住的地方都没了
[04:00.48]	他没有留下一分钱
[04:03.87]	我对我的朋友
[04:07.56]	感到非常抱歉
[04:08.81]	他本来拥有足够的钱可以生活得像个国王
[04:12.69]	但他却变回去了
[04:16.02]	变成了一个小额的低成本预算的穷人
[04:19.60]	有人说他是一个用钱的智者
[04:23.39]	也有人说他是一个蠢蛋
[04:25.28]	他是丢了西瓜
[04:28.01]	捡了芝麻
