As I have said, some people hate the game, some love it, and others miss the point.
我曾經(jīng)說過，一些人討厭這個游戲，也有許多人喜歡它，還有一些人并不理解它的真正意義。
This woman missed a valuable opportunity to learn something.
這位女士就失去了學習一些東西的大好機會。
In the opening round, she drew a "doodad" card with the boat on it. At first she was happy. "Oh, I’ve got a boat."
在第一輪中，她得到了一張“零星支出”卡，開始她很高興：“噢，我擁有了一艘游艇！”
Then, as her friend tried to explain how the numbers worked on her income statement and balance sheet, she got frustrated because she had never liked math.
接著，我的朋友試著向她解釋如何在收益表和資產(chǎn)負債表上做記錄。她非常沮喪，因為她從不喜歡與數(shù)字打交道。
The rest of her table waited while her friend continued explaining the relationship between the income statement, balance sheet, and monthly cash flow.
桌上的其他玩家都在等著她，而我的朋友則不停地向她解釋收益表、資產(chǎn)負債表和月現(xiàn)金流量之間的關系。
Suddenly, when she realized how the numbers worked, it dawned on her that her boat was eating her alive.
終于，當她弄明白這些數(shù)字的意義時，她意識到這艘小艇實際上消耗了她的資金。
Later on in the game, she was also downsized and had a child. It was a horrible game for her.
在后來的游戲中，她在“下崗”格停過，還添了一個孩子，不用說，這個游戲對她來說簡直糟透了。
After the class, her friend came by and told me that she was upset.
課后，我的朋友過來告訴我，說這位女士不太開心。
She had come to the class to learn about investing and did not like the idea that it took so long to play a silly game.
她來聽課是為了學習投資的知識，而不是要花這么長的時間來玩一個愚蠢的游戲。
Her friend attempted to tell her to look within herself to see if the game reflected on her in any way.
我的朋友建議她反省一下自身，也許這個游戲在某些方面正好反映了她的情況。
With that suggestion, the woman demanded her money back.
這個建議起了副作用，這位女士要回了自己的錢。
She said that the very idea that a game could be a reflection of her was ridiculous.
她說，認為這樣一種游戲會反映她的情況，這簡直是荒謬絕倫。
Her money was promptly refunded and she left.
我們立即給她退了錢，然后她就走了。
