6.Gambling Dialogue
6.賭博 對話
Steven and Susan are talking about the harm of gambling.
史蒂文和蘇珊正在討論賭博的危害。
Susan: Have you heard that Tom and his wife divorced?
蘇珊：你聽說湯姆和他妻子離婚的事了嗎?
Steven: I didn't hear that. But I can deduce the reason.
史蒂文：沒有聽說，不過我可以推斷出原因。
Susan: Really? Say it!
蘇珊：是嗎？說說看。
Steven: Tom is a kind guy, but addicted to gambling. He spends all his time gambling in the casino. And his wife can't put up with his incessant gambling any longer, so she divorced him. Is that right?
史蒂文：湯姆是個好人，但卻賭博成癮，他把時間都消磨在賭場上。他的妻子再也無法忍受他不斷賭博，于是就和他離婚了。對嗎？
Susan: Yeah, quite right. Gambling broke up a happy family.
蘇珊：完全正確。你看賭博竟然毀了一個幸福的家庭。
Steven: Yeah! Gambling is often a curse. By gambling we lose time and treasure, two things most precious to a man.
史蒂文：是啊。賭博往往是個禍根，浪費時間和金錢，這兩樣是人生最珍貴的東西。
Susan: Besides that, many people took to gambling and got in over their heads, and gradually ruined themselves.
蘇珊：此外，許多人染上了賭博的惡習，愈陷愈深，慢慢地走上了毀滅的道路。
Steven: In a word, gambling is a vice. We should be away from it.
史蒂文：總而言之，賭博足一種惡習，我們應該遠離它。
