　　A：He thought he could get Mr. Green’s money in his pocket but he lost all, he was too clever by half.
　　B：The fact is he never realizes that. He always starts out tricking others and ends up being tricked.
　　A：That’s the point. He once lost his briefcase by asking a “blind man” to take care of it for him.
　　A：他以為自己能把格林先生的錢據(jù)為己有，但卻一分也沒(méi)得到，他可是聰明過(guò)頭了。
　　B：事實(shí)是他從沒(méi)有認(rèn)識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)。他總是開(kāi)始時(shí)騙別人，到最后卻被別人騙。
　　A：對(duì)啦，這才是要害。他曾丟過(guò)一個(gè)公文包，原因是讓一個(gè)“盲人”幫他看包。
