KAREN: I'm not comfortable about this, Sandy.I don't understand most of these games.

SANDY: That's okay. I can explain a little.

KAREN: I don't want to lose all my money.

SANDY: Don't worry. You can't lose all your money.because you won't gamble all your money.

KAREN: I guess you're right.

SANDY: Of course I'm right. I already told you the rule for Las Vegas. Remember?

KAREN: Yes, I remember.You must decide how much money you will gamble before you start to play.

SANDY: That's right. That's the best way to have control over yourself.You say to yourself. "Tonight I will gamble fifty dollars. Only fifty dollars. No more."If you follow the rule, you can't lose more than fifty dollars.

KAREN: I know it's true, Sandy. But still some people lose control.They start to gamble, and they can't stop.

SANDY: But I won't let you do that. I will watch you.

KAREN: Okay.

SANDY: So how much do you want to gamble?

KAREN: Maybe 500 dollars.

SANDY: 500 dollars! That's too much!You just said you are afraid to lose your money.If you're afraid, why do you want to gamble 500 dollars?

KAREN: I don't want people to think I'm stingy.

SANDY: That is a bad attitude to have, Karen!If you think that way, Las Vegas will be really dangerous for you.

KAREN: So how much should I gamble?

SANDY: Why not fifty or one-hundred dollars?

KAREN: Okay. One-hundred then. Do you think I will lose it?

SANDY: I don't know. You have to be smart, but you have to be lucky too.Some games are all luck. With some, you need to be smart.

KAREN: I want games that are all luck.

SANDY: I knew you would say that! Then you should play the slot machines.

KAREN: Slot machines? No, I don't want that! That's too boring.I want a game with cards or dice.

SANDY: So what do you want to play then?

KAREN: Blackjack.We can play blackjack. And I will gamble one-hundred, or maybe two-hundred dollars.

SANDY: Huh? You are breaking our rule already! And we didn't even start to play yet!

KAREN: Oh, don't be so strict! We are in Las Vegas.

SANDY: Yes, and if I stay with you, we will have to walk back home to New York.Because we will lose all our money and our plane tickets too!

凱倫：我在這里很不自在，仙蒂。大部分的游戲我都不懂。

仙蒂：沒關(guān)系，我會一點。

凱倫：我不想輸光所有的錢。

仙蒂：別擔(dān)心，你不會一文不剩的因為你不能把所有的錢都拿來賭。

凱倫：你說得對。

仙蒂：那當(dāng)然。我告訴過你來拉斯維加斯的原則，記得嗎?

凱倫：記得。在你開始玩之前，先決定要花多少錢來賭。

仙蒂：沒錯，這是控制自己最好的方法。你告訴自己今天晚上我只賭 50 美元，就是 50 美元，不能超過。如果你遵守，就不會輸?shù)舫^ 50 美元。

凱倫：沒錯。不過有些人還是不能控制。他們一開始賭博就停不下來了。

仙蒂：我不會讓你這么做的，我會看著你。

凱倫：好的。

仙蒂：你要花多少錢賭博?

凱倫：大概 500 美元。

仙蒂：500 美元?太多了!你剛剛不是還說怕輸光嗎，那為什么要賭 500 美元?

凱倫：我不想讓人覺得我很小氣。

仙蒂：那是錯誤的心態(tài)。如果你那樣想，拉斯維加斯對你而言是極危險的。

凱倫：那么我應(yīng)該花多少錢呢?

仙蒂：50 或 100 美元如何?

凱倫：那么 100 美元好了，我會輸光嗎?

仙蒂：我不知道。你必須用腦，還要靠點運氣。有些游戲是全靠運氣，有一些則必須用點大腦。

凱倫：我想玩靠運氣的。

仙蒂：我就知道你會這么說，那么你該玩玩吃角子老虎。

凱倫：吃角子老虎?我不想玩那個，太無聊了。我想玩撲克牌或是骰子。

仙蒂：那么你想玩什么游戲?

凱倫：21 點。我們玩 21 點，玩?zhèn)€ 100 或 200 美元。

仙蒂：什么?你開始破壞規(guī)則了，我們都還沒開始玩呢!

凱倫：別太嚴(yán)格嘛，我們是在賭城耶。

仙蒂：是啊!如果我和你在一起，我們就要走路回紐約了!因為我們會輸個精光，連機票也沒了。
