Question

求翻译！！！！急！！！！

Sam, an unemployed piano tuner, said it was only the second thing he had ever won in his life. The first thing was an Afghan blanket at a church raffle（抽奖） when he was 25 years old. But this was much bigger: it was $120,000! He had won the Big Cube, a state lottery game. To win, a contestant must first guess which number a spinning cube will stop on. The cube has six numbers on it: 1X, 10X, 50X, 100X, 500X, and 1000X. If he is correct, the contestant must then guess which of two selected variables（变量） is going to be greater. So, just guessing which number appears on the cube does not guarantee that you will win any money.
Sam correctly guessed 1000X, but he still had to choose between two variables. One variable was the number of cars that would run the stop sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours. The other variable was the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a three-hour period. This was a tough decision.
Finally, Sam flipped(掷) a coin. It came up heads, so Sam picked the teenager. He picked right. The stop sign was run only 76 times, but the teen clicked 120 times. Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy, for he had just won 1000 times 120, or $120,000. Sam dreamily left the lottery studio. Talking excitedly on his cell phone while crossing the street, he got hit by a little sports car.
Sam is slowly getting better. He was in the hospital for a month. His hospital bill was $109,000. And the insurance company for the little sports car’s owner charged Sam for $10,000 worth of repairs. Also, Sam still has to pay federal taxes on his winnings. Sam doesn’t play the state lottery any more. He says it’s better to be unlucky.

Answer 1

山姆，是一个失业的钢琴调音师，说这是他人生中赢得的第二件事情。第一件事情是在他25岁的时候，在一次教堂式的抽奖中获得了一个阿富汗毯。但是这次奖项金额很大，有120,000元！他赢得了大立方，一个国家彩票游戏。为了获得成功，选手必须先猜旋转的立方体将停止在哪个数上。该立方体有六个数字，分别是：1倍，10倍，50倍，100倍，500倍和1000倍。如果他是正确的，参赛者必须然后猜选定的两个数字中哪个较大。所以，仅仅猜测哪个数字出现在立方体上并不能保证你会赢得任何金钱。
山姆猜中了1000倍，但他仍然需要在两个变量之间作出一个选择。一个变量是在六小时内在山街和湖滨大道上在有停止行进的标志上仍然行进的汽车的数量。另一个变量是一个十几岁的男孩在三小时内切换电视频道的次数。这是一个艰难的决定。
最后，萨姆投掷了一枚硬币，正面在上，所以山姆选择了第二个变量。他挑选了右边。这个停止标志进行了76次，但是这个小男孩切换了120次。62岁的山姆高兴地跳了起来，因为他刚刚获得了120的1000倍的奖金，也就是12万美元。山姆做梦般的离开了彩票室。当他一边过马路一边高兴地谈论他的手机的时候，他被一辆小车蹭了一下。
山姆慢慢的好转了。他在医院呆了一个月，他的住院费是109,000元。而小跑车的车主保险公司向山姆收取了10,000元的维修费用。此外，萨姆仍然要支付他的奖金所得税。山姆不能在花费彩票金额了。他说，不走运也挺好的。
