Charles: Did you hear? Next week’s lottery will be 28 million dollars! You got your ticket yet?
Joan: I didn’t buy lottery tickets, and I don’t gamble on other ways, either. Lottery tickets ate just another way of taxing the poor.
Charles: What do you mean by that?
Joan: Many of the big spenders on lottery tickets ate poor. They are spending money they can’t afford to spend.
Charles: I just buy lottery tickets for fun. You know…the first prize is a huge amount, and if would be exciting.
Joan: But you don’t need the money to enjoy life, so for you it’s a game. But when the poor buy lottery tickets, it is often out of desperation.
Charles: You must be right. Casinos are opening everywhere, and many people go on gambling holiday—you can even take a gambling cruise.
Joan: Imagine being on an ocean cruise and spending all your time indoors bent over a card table or a roulette wheel.
Charles: Maybe there should be some programs to help people overcome their gambling addictions something similar to Alcoholics Anonymous.
Joan: There’s indeed an online program that can help. But nobody can force gamblers to join it. They must first want to be cured themselves.

查尔斯：你听见了吗?下周彩票（头奖）高达2800万美元!你买了吗?
琼：我没有买彩票,也不做其他类似du bo性质的事.彩票只是另一种征税方式吃掉穷人的钱.
琼：对彩票的挥金如土的人很多吃的很差.他们是在花自己没有能力承受的钱.
查尔斯：我只是为了好玩才买彩票.你知道的...头奖是一个巨大的数额,如果得到将是激动人心的.
琼：但你并不需要钱去享受生活,所以对你来说那是一个游戏.但是,当穷人买彩票,往往是出于绝望.
查尔斯：你应该是对的.du chang到处都是,许多人去享受du bo假期（就是利用放假时间去du bo）,你甚至可以上du bo邮轮.
琼：试想在一艘游轮上,你得花所有的时间对着一副牌和du bo轮盘.
查尔斯：也许应该有一些方案,以帮助人们克服他们的du bo成瘾症状,类似戒酒一样.
琼：有一个在线程序确实可以提供帮助.但是没有人可以强制赌徒去参加.他们必须首先要有治好自己的想法.
