告訴友人借錢者底細函

September 27, 2005

Dear Timothy,

I hate to break this to you, but I wouldn’t count on getting your money back anytime soon. He offered you US$2,500 in interest, eh? That’s $500 more than he offered me. He must have been getting desperate. What I hear is that Harry has a gambling problem. He probably wanted some of the money to pay off a debt and the rest to put down on a new bet.

Sorry I couldn’t warn you in time. Well, what’s done is done. There’s always a chance his luck will turn and he really will make a fortune. I hope so, for your sake.

Sincerely,

Richard Wilson

親愛的提摩西：

我實在不想對你講這件事情，但我不指望你能很快拿回你的錢。他要給你兩千五百元美金的利息，是嗎?那比他原本要給我的多五百元。他必定已是走頭無路了。我所聽到的是哈利有賭博的毛病。他可能是想用這筆錢中的一部分去償債務，而剩下來的錢則拿去做新的賭注。

抱歉我沒有及早警告你。反正事情都已發(fā)生了。他總會時來運轉而真的發(fā)大財。為了你好，我希望如此。

理查?威爾森　敬上
