This is filmmaker Costis Mitsotakis - the only man in a Spanish village who didn't win a share of a ￡600million lottery prize because he forgot to buy a ticket.
這就是今天的主角——科斯蒂斯·米佐塔基斯。在這個(gè)西班牙村子里，他是唯一沒有資格分享6億歐元樂透大獎(jiǎng)的人，因?yàn)?，他忘買彩票了。

When the residents of Sodeto's number came up on the Christmas mega draw - called El Gordo or the Big One - they danced down the street in the conga.
當(dāng)蘇德圖的居民們發(fā)現(xiàn)，El Gordo（意為大胖子）圣誕百萬抽獎(jiǎng)活動(dòng)上的中獎(jiǎng)號就是他們所買的樂透號時(shí)，居民們都走到街上跳起了康加舞。

But Mr Mitsotakis wasn't celebrating - because when community leaders went round the 70 houses in their remote community collecting money for tickets they missed him off. A share in a single ticket - or a 'participation' would have cost him ￡4 and would have won him an ￡83,000 prize.
同樣是蘇德圖居民，米佐塔基斯卻高興不起來——當(dāng)社區(qū)負(fù)責(zé)人走訪70家居民收集買樂透的份子錢時(shí)，他們把米佐塔基斯給忘掉了?！皡⑴c”這項(xiàng)份子錢買樂透活動(dòng)只需花費(fèi)米佐塔基斯4歐元，但能為他掙得8.3萬歐元的大獎(jiǎng)。

The Greek national moved to the area after falling in love with a woman. When the relationship fell apart he stayed in the area and has been renovating a barn.
米佐塔基斯是一名希臘人，他與一個(gè)女人相愛后搬到了蘇德圖。分手后他依然住在蘇德圖，現(xiàn)在還翻新了他的谷倉。

However, Mr Mitsotakis did not lose out entirely as the day after the Christmas draw was made a neighbour agreed to use their winnings to buy a plot of land he had been trying to sell.
即便沒有中大獎(jiǎng)，米佐塔基斯也不會一無所獲。在圣誕大抽獎(jiǎng)公布的第二天，一個(gè)鄰居同意用獎(jiǎng)金購買米佐塔基斯待售的一塊土地。

The Spanish lottery El Gordo - the Fat One - has a total of 1,800 winning tickets. Each ticket costs around ￡16 but it is sub-divided into four participations which cost around ￡4 each.
西班牙彩票大獎(jiǎng)El Gordo的獎(jiǎng)金非常豐厚，而這項(xiàng)樂透大獎(jiǎng)總共有1800張中獎(jiǎng)總票。每張總票要16歐元，但將總票分開為4張小票后，每張小票只需4歐元。

While some people won ￡83,000 after buying a single share, other villagers won millions. Each one of the residents bought a ticket bearing the first prize winning number 58,268 - except for Mr Mitsotakis.
買了單張小票的居民能獲得8.3萬歐元的獎(jiǎng)金，而也有部分居民獲得了過百萬歐元的獎(jiǎng)金。每一位蘇德圖的居民都買了一張印有頭獎(jiǎng)號碼58268的中獎(jiǎng)樂透票——唯獨(dú)米佐塔基斯沒有。

In total, the people of Sodeto received around ￡100million of the ￡600million money for the 'first prize tickets'. The rest of the ￡600million fund went to people in the town of Granen nearby and neighbouring villages.
蘇德圖的居民們總共獲得了6億歐元獎(jiǎng)金里的1億，剩余的5億獎(jiǎng)金散落到了格蘭靈鎮(zhèn)和附近鎮(zhèn)的居民的口袋里。

The village, in northern Spain, is around three hours by car from Barcelona on the coast.
蘇德圖位于西班牙的北部，從巴塞羅那驅(qū)車三個(gè)小時(shí)就能到達(dá)它附近的海岸。

José Manuel Penella Cambra's wife bought two participations and his son discovered two more which he had forgotten he had bought. In total, the family netted in the region of ￡372,000.
坎布拉的妻子買了兩張樂透小票，兒子又發(fā)現(xiàn)了爸爸買的兩張小票，他自己可都忘記買過。最終，坎布拉一家獲得的獎(jiǎng)金總數(shù)為37.2萬歐元。

The homeowner joked to the New York Times: 'I kept saying: look for some more, look for some more. But this money means that now we can breathe. And the best part is that it isn’t just me. Everybody won.'
身為一家之主的坎布拉開玩笑道：“我當(dāng)時(shí)還說‘快找多一點(diǎn)小票，找多一點(diǎn)?！?然而，這些獎(jiǎng)金意味著我們一家能生存下來了。最開心的是，不光是我一個(gè)人，大家都有錢分?！?/div>

Sodeto, which has around 250 residents, has been inundated with travelling salesmen and bankers hoping to persuade the wealthy villagers to part with their winnings.The annual El Gordo lottery has been running since 1812 and is so popular that some people take the day off work to watch the morning draw.
只有250個(gè)居民的蘇德圖，現(xiàn)在大街上滿是銷售員和銀行從業(yè)者，他們都希望居民能用他們的獎(jiǎng)金消費(fèi)。每年一次的圣誕樂透從1812年就開始開獎(jiǎng)，而且非常受歡迎。有些人寧愿請假，也要收看早上的開獎(jiǎng)情況。

The homemakers association in Sodeto organise the sale of tickets for the draw every year. Although a single participation costs ￡4, the area has been so badly hit by the recession that some people were struggling to come up with the money.
每一年，蘇德圖的主婦們都會組織樂透彩票的購買。盡管一張樂透小票只需4歐元，但由于經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退導(dǎo)致蘇德圖的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢惡化，部分人要東湊西拼才能艱難地拿出4歐元。

The average Spaniard spent ￡47 on tickets despite the severe economic crisis and record unemployment. The lottery gives out 1,800 first prizes for each whole ticket split into four participations of ￡332,000, 1,800 prizes of ￡100,000, 1,800 third prizes of ￡41,600 and thousands of smaller cash prizes.
即便經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)嚴(yán)重，失業(yè)率創(chuàng)歷史新高，西班牙人一般還是會拿出47歐元買圣誕大樂透。大樂透的一等獎(jiǎng)有1800份，四張小票組成一份，每份獎(jiǎng)金為33.2萬歐元，二等獎(jiǎng)總1800份，每份獎(jiǎng)金為10萬歐元，三等獎(jiǎng)也為1800份，每份4.16萬歐元，還有無數(shù)小的現(xiàn)金獎(jiǎng)。
