Now, I would never win a lot of money, because I don't play the lottery.
言っとくけど、宝くじなんかしないのでたくさんのお金当たるはずないのです。
But it's a topic in the book, so if I did suddenly come into a lot of money, what would I do with it?
では、教科書の問題の１つですから、突然に大金持ちになったらそのお金をどうするであろう？
Actually, I have daydreamed about this, and even blogged about lotteries before.
実はこんな空想にふけたことがあります。また、宝くじについてブログも書いたことがあります 。
Well, I guess I'd spend a little of it on myself. Maybe buy a smartphone and a new suit, maybe fix my bike.
さて。自分のことに使うこともあるでしょう。もしかしてスマートホンとか、新しいスーツを買ったり、多分、自転車も修理します。
I'd probably spend more of it on family. My wife thinks my kids need phones, too. And the family needs a new computer and new clothes. And we need a house, if the money would go that far.
自分のことよりも家族に使うと思います。子供には携帯が必要と、家の嫁が言っています。やっぱり、新しいコンピュータも服も要るでしょう。家も欲しいで。お金がそこまで伸びるなら。
Maybe a car would be useful sometimes, but cars can be rented.
車はもしかして用途があるかも知れませんが、レンタカーもあるから買わなくて済むかな。
And there are a couple of friends who have helped my family and me in the past. I'm not sure what I'd do for them, but I'm sure I could think of something.
自分と家族を助けてくれた友達もいますが、何をするかわかりませんが何かを考えてやって上げるでしょう。
I'd definitely give part of it away to a few good causes. Sharing some of what we have with people who need help is a good way to express our gratitude.
きっと、福利のための善良ある活動に献金するでしょう。持っているものを必要としている人に分けるのが感謝を正確に表すことです。
I'd also definitely put quite a bit in the bank, mostly retirement funds for my wife and me, and education savings for our kids. No need to mention it to anyone.
また、話しの中に取り上げる必要ないのですし、主に退職金や教育預金のことになるのですが、銀行に預けることはたしかなのです。
And the thing I'd definitely like to do if I had lots of money is start a business helping people learn how to use the Linus OS in their own computers.
それにお金を仰山持ってたら、確実にやりたいのが、人がリナックスオーエスを自分のコンピュータに利用するのを習うのを手伝う企業を興したい。
Okay, the above is what I came up with after letting it rest for several days.
以上は数日置いて考えた例文です。
Below are some of the examples I came up with in class. Some are mine, some are student examples. They may help in formulating your own examples.
以下は授業の取り上げた例文です。ボクが考えたものもありますし、皆が考えたものもあります。皆が自分の例文を作ると参考になるかもわかりません。
