“如果我能中500萬就好了!”這樣的話很多人都應該聽過或者説過。遇到困難的'時候,錢不夠用的時候我們都可能會希望有一筆飛來橫財,似乎有了錢一切問題都能迎刃而解了。而這樣美麗的期望好像也只有在彩票類的活動中才能實現,所以,英文裏把這樣夢想飛來橫財,不勞而獲的想法叫做lottery mentality。
Lottery mentality refers to the desire to obtain money without working for it or the belief that a large sum of money can solve a person's problems.
Lottery mentality(彩票思維)指的是不幹活就能拿錢,即不勞而獲的想法;或是認為錢能解決所有問題的想法。
The American dream, of working hard and getting ahead, is starting to succumb to that lottery mentality my mother saw hurting Mexico's economy.
