Helen: Nobody does it better. Now then Zo, tell me are you a gambling addict?

Helen: Yes. Do you like to gamble?

Helen: Yes, scratchcard. That’s two words together. Scratch
Zo: Scratch. 抓，刮，
Helen: And card
Zo: Card. 卡片
Helen: Scratchcard.
Zo: 那 a scratchcard是什么意思呢, Helen.
Helen: Well, in Britain it’s a form of gambling. You buy a scratchcard from a newsagent or supermarket. It has a special silver outer layer which you scratch off and underneath it tells you if you have won a prize or not.
Zo: 哦，我明白了。A scratchcard 就是一张彩票，很多人都愿意时不时的买一张，刮刮看，来试试自己的运气。
Helen: Exactly.
Zo: 那如果中奖了，能得到什么呢, Helen?
Helen: Usually, you win money – anything from ￡1 to thousands of pounds
