原版英语对话1000个:067 Money

（单词翻译）

Todd: James!

James: Yo!

Todd: If you had a million dollars...

James: Mm-hm

Todd: if you won the lottery¹...

James: Yes.

Todd: What would you do?

James: I would buy a small island, build a house there, and invest the rest of my money so that I would never have to work again.

Todd: OK, So are you talking a tropical island, or...

James: A tropical island, yeah, or maybe I would give it all to charity and have a bridge named after me.

Todd: That's two different things there. How about the island? Would you want to be alone, on a secluded² island or?

James: No, I would want all of my friends to come and visit me often.

Todd: OK. Nice. So how would you pass the time on this island?

James: I would read books. I would study. I would go swimming, go fishing, and play with my dog.

Todd: OK. Do think money can make people happy, can buy happiness?

James: No, but it can sometimes make it easier. It depends on what you buy.
