Seth: Why does Taiwan have so many damned scam artists?

　　Ash: Between elderly pensioners and the young and naive like us, there's a huge market!

　　Seth: But what can be done to stop it?

　　Ash: Maybe stiffer penalties for the criminals? Who knows? I'm sure better education would help.

　　Seth: What kind of class can help with this kind of thing? I thought I won one million dollars last week. If Milt didn't stop me, I would probably be out of every cent I've ever made.

　　赛司：为什么台湾有这么多可恶的骗徒?

　　爱许：从领养老金的老人到像我们一样年轻又好骗的人，这个市场很大啊!

　　赛司：但是要如何阻止这类事情发生呢?

　　爱许：也许该加重罪犯的刑罚吧?谁知道?我相信更好的教育会有帮助。

　　赛司：什么课会对这类事件有帮助?上星期我以为我赢了一百万。如果米特没有阻止我，我可能会赔上所赚的每一分钱。
