When the couple arrived in Los Angeles, the husband became fascinated by the plush（豪华的） casino and started betting on all the attractions. After four days, they had just two dollars left.

 

"Let me go to the casino alone," the man told his wife. "I ve got a feeling that I'll be luck today."

 

Once downstairs he went to the roulette（轮盘赌） table and put his last two dollars on No.14.red. His number won. He continued betting and winning. Within an hour, he had acquired $50000. Feeling that his luck was about to change, he picked up his chips and walked toward the cashier.

 

Just before he reached her, he felt one final urge to bet. He went back to the roulette table and put everything on No. 10, black. The wheel spun¹ round and round, and finally stopped on No.12. red. Heartbroken, the fellow returned to his room.

 

"Well," his wife asked anxiously, "How did you make out?"

 

"I lost two dollars."

 

当一对夫妇来到洛杉矶的时候，丈夫被豪华的赌场吸引住了，并在所有有吸引力的项目上赌钱。四天之后，他们只有两美元了。

 

“让我自己去赌场吧，”这个男人告诉他妻子，“我感觉我今天会有好运气。”

 

下楼之后，他走到轮盘赌博机的前面把最后两美元放到了红的十四号上面。他的号码赢了，他继续下注然后又赢了。一小时之内，他得到了五万美元。他感觉自己运气要变了，于是他把自己的筹码拿起来走向出纳员。

 

就在他快走到她跟前时，他感觉内心怂恿他再最后一把，他走回轮盘赌博机，然后把所有筹码放在黑色十号上面。轮子转了又转，最后停在了红色12号上。他的心都碎了，回到了他的房间。

 

“喂，”他的妻子焦急的问，“情况怎么样了？”

 

“我损失了两美元。”
