"Low-class gamblers give the sport a bad name, they waste themselves on betting and lose their ambition for anything else, and they even gamble away their wives and children. Gamblers of character do not care much whether they win or lose, and they 'punish' themselves with a drink for their losses," says Szu-ma Chung-yuan.
「下品賭徒荒廢正業、玩物喪志，甚至把老婆孩子都押上賭桌輸掉；上品賭徒視輸贏如雲淡風清，甘拜下風自罰一杯」，司馬中原說。
