LH: 如果我真中了奖,当然会分你一点喽。嗯,一千块!怎样,我这朋友够意思吧?
LL: You'll only give me one grand?! That's 1,000th of a million, Li Hua! I thought our friendship was worth more than that...
LH: One grand...是一千块钱的意思吗?
LL: Yup. One grand is equivalent to 1,000 dollars.
LH: 喔。所以one grand是一千块钱的意思。
LL: Yes, that's right.
LH: 那我就可以把五千块钱说成5,000grands咯?
LL: No, no, no. "Grand" replaces "thousand dollars", so you would say five grand.
LH: 原来如此。五千块要说five grand, 因为grand代替了thousand dollars这两个词。但为什么是说five grand而不是five grands呢?
LL: Even though five is more than one, you still say grand because the word is already in its plural form.
LH: 喔。因为grand已经是复数了, 所以要说five grand而不是five grands, 那我懂了。
LL: Hey, so back to the topic. You're only giving me 1,000 dollars?
LH: Yeah, one grand is a lot of money. 那换做是你,你会给我多少钱呢?
LL: I would give you 10 grand.
LH: 你会给我一万?你真好!Wait, what would be the catch?
