GAMBLING

賭博

Gambling is stealing by mutual consent.

賭博是彼此同意的偷竊。

In essence, gambling is a sin against charity; for the gambler hopes to gain at the expense of the total loss of the other competitor.

Kenneth F. W. Prior

賭博就其本質而言,是與善行背道而馳的罪;賭徒想獲取的就是另一個競爭者為徹底失敗付出的代價。

The specific indictment of betting, gambling and lotteries is the they are a means, or device, or stratagem for attempting to appropriate other people's money...a person can only win if others lose.  Success in gambling depends entirely on the failure of others...this is that which makes the practice so sordid and contemptible.

Fred Caddick

關於打賭、賭博、彩券的指控都是說它們是意圖竊取他人錢財的方法、工具或詭計,而一個人能贏是肇因另一個人的失敗。賭場中的成功端賴另一個人的失敗...這使得賭博成為卑鄙、被人瞧不起的。
