要孤注一擲贏大錢（中/英）練筆

Peter gets used to spending money like water and he has been unemployed 

for 2 months now and never thought of looking for a new job again, as a result, 

he has ended up being dirt poor. The worse thing is he has addicted to gambling 

recently!  His power was shut off because he has owed too much money 

to the energy company.  Therefore, his mom, sister and grandmother tried to 

chip in half of the money to help him out and they said he had to come up with

 the other half. His mom said to him: “ A fool and his money are soon parted, 

 our money doesn’t grow on trees, you got to quit  gambling and find a job as 

soon as you can.”  Peter said : “Well , I had my fingers in the till and got 

caught I don’t know  if they would  like to give me a chance or not.”

 Although his family has been advising him to stop gambling, but one 

ear in and out another, he is still dreaming that he will break the bank

 and strike it rich one day.  He thinks when he is in trouble he can bank on 

his family all the time,  and he thinks his family are all suckers that they 

will help him out of adversity anytime.  He thinks he could bank on his 

mother like always.  My gosh! What kind of a person he is! 

皮特花錢如花水，他已經失業兩個月了也從沒想過去找工作，結果他現在窮得一文不名。最糟糕的是他還染上了賭博癮。因為欠款過多他家的水電被斷了。他姐姐，媽媽和外婆幫他湊夠一半的水電費，但剩下的一半她們就不管了。“笨蛋難聚財”他媽媽說，“我們的錢又不是大風刮來的，你必須戒賭並找工作。” 皮特說：“我上次偷了公司的錢，我不知道現在有木有人要我工作呀”盡管家裏讓他戒賭，但左耳進右耳出，他還做夢在賭場孤注一擲贏大錢發橫財呢。他以為他總能靠家裏活著，他家裏人總會救他於困難中，他以為他家人都是傻蛋。他以為他總能依賴他媽媽。天呀，他是什麽人來的。
