easy, anything I’m comfortable with but as long as it’s clean and boss says it’s alright.

Presenter: And so you dress for comfort or do you think you are fashion conscious as well? Eric: Maybe a little bit fashion conscious yeah. You don’t want to stand out like a sore thumb(很显眼) and people make fun of you, you know for some reason, but at the same time you want to have your own bit of individuality.

Presenter: I think you are discreetly fashion conscious, would you agree with…?

Penny: Yes and another a good trick I always do is carry my high heels in my hand bag and go in

my trainers you see, and then I can charge along and jump on the bus and then, and then look…

Presenter: And you manage high heels?

Penny: Yes once I’m there and haven’t got to move around too much.

Presenter: Very impressive, very impressive. What do you think your clothes say about your

mood or your personality? Do you change depending…if you get up in the morning do you put on certain clothes depending on how you feel?

Penny: Definitely, yes. If I’m feeling maybe a bit down I do not want to war black because it’s

quite draining(精疲力尽的) and also as you get older it’s draining too, so I might put on some warm colors or which um, I don’t know, sort of make your skin look lighter and your eyes sparkle a little more. Um I, I change…I would say I have got a lot of different colors clothes according to my mood.

Presenter: Yeah, and what about you? Do you change dramatically in the evening when you go

out on town on the razz(狂欢) you know?

Eric: Well not really. Um yeah I might put on a nicer pair of shoes or maybe er get out of my

jeans and put on a nicer pair of pants, something like that. But um for the most part, it’s a young organization that I work for and the boss is fairly young so we all dress um with a youthful thought in mind.

Presenter: Thank you.

主持人:你多久换一次衣服?

我想这一切都取决于我要做什么。嗯,这可能是多达三倍,如果…

主持人:三次。

是的,如果我是……如果我要去健身房,例如,在学校的孩子掉了我会穿的衣服……只是一个休闲装,为学校运行,然后我会去健身房和改变,然后如果我出去在晚上我会再次改变。

主持人:是的。你呢?

是的,我认为这取决于白天发生的事情。大部分的时间,虽然我只是穿上我的衣服工作。我去上班我回家。嗯,也许采取一些关闭,如我的鞋子和陈GE为一双拖鞋(拖鞋)或什么的,只是一双运动鞋。嗯,但有时我去健身房,就像一分钱说,或者如果我们出去,我的妻子和我会出去一些场合,我要换一个更好的东西。

主持人:如果你换上了一些更好的东西,那会是什么?这将是不同的工作…?

一分钱:谢谢你。

我可以去上班,很休闲的衣服,所以你知道这很轻松,很好,很容易,但只要是干净的,老板说这是好的。

主持人:那么你穿着舒适的衣服,或者你认为你是时尚意识?

也许有点时尚意识是啊。你不想扎眼(很显眼)和人取笑你,你知道的一些原因,但你要有你自己的同时有点个性。

主持人:我想你是谨慎的时尚意识,你同意吗…?

是的,另一个很好的技巧,我总是把我的高跟鞋放在我的手上,然后在我的运动鞋上看,然后我可以充电,然后跳上公共汽车,然后再看…

主持人:你管理高跟鞋?

是的,一旦我在那里,并没有走动过多。

主持人:非常令人印象深刻,非常令人印象深刻。你觉得你的衣服怎么说你的情绪或你的个性?如果你早上起床的话,你会有什么变化吗,你穿上什么衣服根据你的感觉如何?

肯定是,是的。如果我感觉有点失望我不想战争黑因为太排水(精疲力尽的)也是你旧的排水,所以我可能把一些温暖的颜色或嗯,我不知道,让你的皮肤看起来更轻,你的眼睛更亮了。嗯,我改变了……我会说我有很多不同的颜色的衣服,根据我的心情。

主持人:是的,你呢?你戏剧性的变化在晚上当你走在小镇上的邮箱(狂欢)你知道吗?

埃里克:好不是真的。嗯,是的,我会穿上一双更好的鞋子,也许我会穿上我的牛仔裤,穿上一条更好的裤子,这是一种很好的鞋子。但是对于大多数的一部分,它是一个年轻的组织化,我工作,老板很年轻,所以我们所有的衣服我头脑中有一个年轻的思想。

主持人:谢谢。

Outside view

So you want to win a million dollars. Who doesn’t, right? Everyone has fun thinking about how they would spend all that money.

--If I won a million dollars, I would take a vacation around the world. --If I won a million dollars, I would feed the hungry children in Africa. --I would buy a Learjet and get out of here.

--If I won a million dollars, I would buy a cabin(小木屋) and live in the woods.

--If I won a million dollars, I would take a trip around the world, and the rest of it I would give to charities.

Winning a million dollars is a nice fantasy. But for many people, their fantasy can get them in trouble. Criminals called con artists, scam(欺诈)artists, or frauds(诈骗), taking advantage of people’s dreams of winning it big.

--My dad told my mum,” Don’t do that, because you don’t know if they’re going to trick you or not!”

Scam artists tried to trick Maria Ellen’s mother out of thousands of dollars. These criminals told Maria Ellen’s mother that she had won part of a million-dollar jackpot. But, they said, since she was not a US citizen, she was not allow to claim the prize. They promised to collect the prize for her if she gave them thousands of dollars. --$15000, uh, at 5 o’clock in the Lottery(彩票) Texas Department. That’s what they told her. And my mum said,” OK, I’ll be there at that time.”

Police at the Dallas Lotto(乐透彩票) Claims Office say that dozens of people have been tricked out of their money in this last fraud. Fraud is a common crime. Hoping to win million, people make poor decisions and lose their money. But people who really do win millions can make poor decisions too. Bob Kenny works for an organization called More Than Money. More Than Money helps people who come into large amounts of money make good decisions about how to manage their unexpected wealth.

--What’s really important to me. My family. The health of my family. The education of my family. The long-term care of my family. These are the things important to me. These are the things I’m going to use my money to get in the world.

Albert Miller and Dorothy Adams who won a whopping(庞大的) $40 million had many choices to make on how to spend their new wealth.

--I was finally able to afford some health insurance,…

--And you didn’t have it before this.

--I didn’t, and I worked every every day of my adult life.

--That’s a great decision, buying health insurance. He knows his health is important to him. His family’s health is important to him. He knows his family is important to him. He knows he’s important to his family. So it’s really easy decision. I have the money. I need the health insurance. I’m going to buy it.

Now Albert can afford anything he wants. He bought an everyday car, a top of the line Infinity. -- It’s low-key…it’s a low-profile car for me.

His other new one is not. It’s a special edition Rolls-Royce. There are fewer than two dozen like this in the world. With a cognac bar, a twelve-cylinder(气缸) engine, and one smooth ride. --If you fly a Roll, you don’t drive a Rolls. So, you know, you just fly along.

--he decided to buy one car that was practical that he could use every day. And then he decided to buy another car that he knows is not practical, that’s been a fantasy of his. It’s something that, in some ways, he always wanted. And having a little fun with the money while he’s trying to make some decisions is a perfectly normal thing to do.

--Last time we talked, you were talking diamonds. What happened? --Uh, well, I got diamonds! Big ones eleven carats in all.

--I think that was a very sweet thing to do. He had his fantasies, she had hers, and having diamonds is something she always wanted.

A few weeks after the big win, the couple closed their restaurant, called Bentley’s. now they have more time to travel, golf, and playing on the boat Albert just bought. still, a lot’s the same. They live in the same house, in the same neighbourhood where they both grew up.

--We try to keep everything pretty much same as it was before. You know, we tried not to let money change us.

--Our culture wants us to believe that if we are not happy, if we had more money, we would be happy. And the research shows that that’s just not true. You’ll still wake up some mornings with a headache. You’ll still wake up sometimes in a bad mood. You’ll still have fights with your friends sometimes. It won’t make all of that better. Having more money will not necessarily improve the quality of your relationships or the happiness that you actually have in your life. What money does is allow us to make more choices. And making wise choices is what will make us happy.

Despite every man’s dream come true, Albert still thinks about money.

--The money pressure’s not there, but other pressures of having the money come then, so, you know, I mean, you’re never totally free of something to worry about.

--Albert’s a pretty wise guy. He understand that the money is going to create another set of issues for him.

--I still think most of us would trade our money problems for Albert’s any day.

--I think most of us think that the problems that we have in life would get solved if we had more money. But what I’m suggesting is that isn’t necessarily so- that money gives more choices, but it doesn’t give us the blissful(极快乐的)answer.

所以你想赢一百万美元。谁不,对不对?每个人都有有趣的想法,他们将如何花所有的钱。

如果我赢了一百万美元,我就要去世界各地度假。

如果我赢了一百万美元,我就给非洲的饥饿的孩子们吃。

我会买飞机离开这里。

如果我赢了一百万美元,我会买一个小屋(小木屋)和住在树林里。

如果我赢了一百万美元,我就要环游世界了,剩下的我也会给慈善机构。

赢得一百万美元是一个美好的幻想。但对许多人来说,他们的幻想可以让他们陷入麻烦。罪犯被称为骗子,骗局(欺诈)的艺术家,或欺诈(诈骗),利用人们的梦想赢得大小姐。

我的爸爸告诉我妈妈,“不要这样做,因为你不知道他们会不会欺骗你!“

骗子试图欺骗玛利亚爱伦的母亲了数千美元。这些罪犯告诉玛丽亚爱伦的母亲,她已经赢得一百万美元的奖金的一部分。但是,他们说,因为她是不是美国公民,她是不允许索赔的。如果她给了他们数千美元,他们承诺将为她收集奖品。

15000美元,呃,在彩票五点(彩票)系德克萨斯。这就是他们告诉她。我的妈妈说:“好吧,我会在那个时候。”

在达拉斯乐透警察(乐透彩票)声称办公室说,数十人被骗走了钱在这最后的欺诈。诈骗是一种常见的犯罪。希望赢得万,人穷时,离子和失去他们的钱。但真正赢得数百万的人也能做出糟糕的决定。鲍勃肯尼组织称超过金钱的作用。比金钱更能帮助人们进入大钱的数额决定如何管理他们的意外财富。

对我来说真正重要的是什么。我的家人。我家的健康。我的家庭教育。长期照顾我的家庭。这些对我来说很重要。这是我要去的东西用我的钱去世界上。

艾伯特Miller和多萝西亚当斯谁赢得了高达4000万美元(庞大的)有很多的选择,要如何度过他们的新财富。

——我终于买得起一些健康保险了,… --你没有在这之前。

我没有,我每天都在我的成年生活中工作。

-这是一个伟大的决定,购买健康保险。他知道他的健康对他很重要。他的家人的健康对他很重要。他知道他的家庭对他很重要。他知道他很重要他的家人。所以这很容易决定。我有钱。我需要健康保险。我要买它。

现在,艾伯特可以买任何他想要的东西。他买了一辆普通的车,一个顶级的线无限。

-这是低调……这是我的低调。
