  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.

  (续上期,下期续)

  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。
