美國男子網上討錢 成功收穫百萬美元
Brooklyn comedian Craig Rowin made a YouTube appeal for somebody to give him $1 million two months ago and thus attracted tens of thousands of clicks. And incredibly, it appears some philanthropist was taken in by the appeal because Craig claimed Wednesday that his dream has come true.
紐約布魯克林喜劇演員克萊格 羅文兩個月前在Youtube視頻網站上發佈視頻，希望某位富翁無償給他1百萬美元，贏得千萬點擊量。而讓人不可思議地是，某位慈善家似乎真會爲之動容，因爲克萊格上週三宣稱他已經實現了自己的夢想。
"Millionaires, listen up, I have a proposition. You have millions and millions of dollars. Please give me a million," he said in his video. "I don't need it for anything specific. I haven't thought that through yet. I might at least go on a trip to start."
“百萬富翁們，聽好了，我有個請求。你們的錢數以萬計，所以請給我1百萬，”他在視頻中這麼說道。“我要這些錢也不是爲了做什麼，我也還沒想好該怎麼花。可能我會先旅行一下吧。”
He also listed and asked dozens of wealthy individuals, including Lady Gaga, Warren Buffett, Nelson Mandela, Gary Busey and Tom Seaver, who he claimed could make him rich if they wanted to. He also appealed to the Chilean miners for money and apologised if they weren't millionaires.
克萊格還列出了一個“只要他們願意，就可讓他變富”的富人名單，這些富人包括歌星嘎嘎小姐、股神巴菲特、影星加里•布塞、棒球明星湯姆•西沃爾等等。克萊格甚至將數月前剛剛從礦難中獲救的智利礦工們也列爲他的“乞討對象”，並稱如果他們不是百萬富翁他表示道歉。
In a new video, Rowin suddenly said he was "flabbergasted" to receive a letter and a phone call from the man identifying himself as Benjamin who offered to hand over the entire sum. On February 2, Benjamin will hand over the cheque in person at a theater in Manhattan. Rowin explained that his benefactor liked the video and called it "really fun."
而在最新發布的一段視頻中，克萊格突然宣佈自己收到了一個自稱本傑明且願意傾囊相助的有錢人士的信件和電話。2月2日，“本傑明”將在曼哈頓某劇院將100萬美元支票親手交給克萊格。對此，克萊格解釋稱“本傑明”喜歡克萊格的“討錢視頻”，並表示視頻“真得非常有趣”。
"On February 2 I will be a one millionaire," he said on the video clip. "Now here is a couple of seconds for you to resent me." On the YouTube caption Rowin wrote that he will no longer be asking for cash - but included an email address for anybody who wanted to "give me another one million dollars."
“到2月2日我就會是一名百萬富翁了，”克萊格稱。“現在你們還有幾秒鐘的時間來嫉恨我。”羅文在Youtube上發表文字稱自己不再討錢——但是他還是留了一個電子郵箱地址，以便那些想再“給他1百萬美元”的有錢人聯繫到他。
