Dario: Sorry Brian, I have to stop here and buy a lottery ticket.
Brian: Don't tell me you waste your money on the lottery Dario.
Dario: I buy one ticket every week. Why do you say that it's a waste?
Brian: You will never win, my friend. Do you know the odds of winning the lottery?

Brian: I will keep my money in my pocket and not throw it away on gambling!
Dario: I will remember your words Brian. Don't come and ask me for a loan when I win the jackpot.
Brian: It's a deal!

Lesson：课文
Being asked to be a tour guide for someone can be very stressful and make you nervous. Just follow the simple rules below and all will be well.
要求给别人当导游可能给你带来压力，让你感觉紧张。按照下列的简单规则来做事情就会容易多了：
Ask the person if there is anything in particular they want to do. Remember not everyone wants to do the same things. Some people like to visit museums and galleries, some like shopping and others just want to walk the streets to see what the city looks like.
问问他有没有什么特别想做的事情。要记住并不是每个人都想做同样的事。有的人喜欢去博物馆和美术馆，有的人喜欢购物，而还有的人只想在街上走走看看城市面貌。
Just because you think a tourist should see a particular attraction, does not mean that they will want to see it. When you first meet, talk casually with them for a while and try to judge what types of things they might want to do. Always tell them your plans and suggestions and ask if they are interested.
你认为游客应该看的特别景点不见得就是游客想要看的。第一次见面的时候跟他们随便聊聊，试着猜想一下他们可能喜欢做的事情。随时告诉他们你的计划和建议，问问他们是不是感兴趣。
Not all tourists are rich. Some tourists like to travel on small budgets and will not be happy if you take them to an expensive restaurant or attractions.
并不是所有的游客都很有钱。有些游客希望旅游时节约开支，如果你带他们到很贵的餐厅或景点他们会不高兴的。
Try to give the tourists all the information about an attraction or cultural site that you know. Most people want to hear as much as possible about the history and culture of the cities they travel in.
尽量把你所知道的关于景点或文化名胜的所有信息都讲给游客听。大多数人都希望尽可能多的了解他们所到城市的历史和文化。
Remind tourists of the local rules and customs, but don't get too angry if they forget. Remember they are guests and you should treat them as if they were guests in your own home. If you relax so will they, and you will both enjoy the experience even more.
提醒游客当地的规定和习俗，但如果他们忘记了也不要太生气。要记住他们是客人，你要对待他们像对待自己家的客人一样。如果你表现得很轻松的话他们也会很放松，你和游客就都会留下一次愉快的经历。
