Get Rich or Get Out
變富有
He had finally made it to New York City. They call it "the city that never sleeps." He had always wanted to live there. He had quit his job in Florida. He loved his new neighborhood. He loved his new apartment. He had used half of his savings to pay for one year in advance. But the apartment was so expensive. How could he afford it next year? He had to get rich this year. "How are you going to get rich in just one year?" asked his sister. That was a good question. He didn't even have a job. But an ordinary job wouldn't pay his rent next year. An ordinary job wouldn't allow him to stay in his nice apartment. He didn't want to move into a cheap apartment. How can I get rich fast, he wondered. He went across the street and bought a lottery ticket.
他終于來到了紐約城。他們把這里稱之為“無眠城市”。他一直希望能夠在這里生活。他辭去了佛羅里達州的工作。他喜歡他的新鄰居。他喜歡新住處。他用一半積蓄交了一年房租。但是公寓太貴了。他明年該怎么辦?他今年一定要富起來。他的妹妹問道:“你怎么在一年之內變得富有?”這是個好問題。他還沒有工作。但是普通工作交不上明年的房租。普通工作不會讓他住這么好的公寓。他不想搬進便宜公寓。他想我怎么能夠迅速暴富。他過了馬路,買了一張彩票。
