James: Mm-hm... 嗯……
Todd: if you won the lottery 1... 如果你中了彩票……
James: Yes. 是的。
Todd: What would you do? 你会怎么做？
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. 我会买一座小岛，在上面建一座房屋，并且把所有的钱都拿来投资，这样我就不用再工作了。
Todd: OK, So are you talking a tropical island, or... 好的，你想买热带小岛，还是……
James: A tropical island, yeah, or maybe I would give it all to charity and have a bridge named after me. 我喜欢热带岛屿，也许我会把所有钱都捐给慈善机构，并且用我的名字捐建一座桥。
Todd: That's two different things there. How bout 2 the island? Would you want to be alone, on a secluded 3 island or? 这完全是两码事。那买小岛呢？你是想一个人生活在荒岛上，还是？ James: No, I would want all of my friends to come and visit me often. 不，我希望我的朋友能经常来看我。
