Lottery Winnings to Help the Planet

I want to ask you a fun question. What would you do if you won the lottery? I mean a really big, big lottery. No, more money than that. Yes, lots and lots and lots of money. 如果你中大樂透，你會想做什麼？ Would you buy a really cool sports car? Or maybe an airplane? Or a big house with a big swimming pool? 你會買跑車嗎？買飛機、或是有游泳池的大房子？ Or would you use the money to help save our planet. That's what one man from France did. 有一個法國人決定捐錢來幫助拯救地球。 He won nearly $220 million U.S. dollars in a lottery. Wow, 220 million?! Then he decided to give almost all of that money away! He wants to use the money to help protect forests and plant trees, especially in France. 他中了兩億兩千萬美元的樂透，決定把大部分捐出去保護森林，栽種樹木。 The French guy is worried about the Earth. He knows the world has a lot of environmental problems, like pollution and climate change. He thinks planting trees and protecting forests can really help the world. 這個法國人覺得地球有很多問題，比如說空氣汙染還有氣候變遷，他相信種樹跟保護森林會大有幫助。 So, I guess he's not going to buy an airplane. Or a cool sports car. What a great guy! ________________________________ Vocabulary 這個突然發大財的法國人，決定要做大事。 1. win 贏得 I can't imagine winning 2 million NT. 我不能想像贏兩百萬。 I once won 200 NT. 我有一次贏了兩百塊。 I just put it in my pocket. 我就只把它放進口袋裡。 2. million 百萬 If I win 20 million, maybe I'll buy something. 如果我贏了兩千萬，也許會買些什麼。 Yeah, like what? 是嗎，比如說什麼？ Like a burger store. 比如買一家漢堡店。 3. give away 送出去 You like hamburgers that much? 你那麼喜歡漢堡喔？ I do.
