（单词翻译）

 　　Peter: Look at this! I just won 2,000 smackaroos!

 
　　Angela: Where did you get all that money?
 
　　Peter: I won it betting on the game last night. I placed a small wager1 with high odds2 and won big.
 
　　Angela: Wow, I always put money in the pools at work, but I’ve never won anything like $2,000.
 
　　Peter: I’ll introduce you to my bookie if you want to do some serious betting. But I warn you: he only deals in high-stakes wagers3, not penny ante bets.
 
　　Angela: You bet through a bookie? You must do some serious gambling4. I don’t think that’s for me.
 
　　Peter: You can’t win big, if you don’t play big. I’ve just placed a bet on this weekend’s game.
 
　　Angela: But the Minnesota McQ’s are the favorites by a wide margin5.
 
　　Peter: There’s a 10-point point spread. Come on, what do you say? Are you in or out? I’ve just put $500 on it.
 
　　Angela: That’s too rich for my blood. I think I’ll stick to the minor6 leagues.
 
　　Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
