作者/雙語君文/日報網雙語新聞ID/chinadaily_mobileYouTube上有一個挺火的博主，名叫Johal。Johal熱衷於通過做各種社會實驗測試人性。比如假裝在路人面前掉落iPhone，看對方會不會把手機撿起來還給他。這次，Johal假扮成一位盲人，拿著一張500美元的中獎彩票分別去了窮人區和富人區，讓那裡的路人「幫忙確認」中獎數額。Johal想知道，在面對金錢的誘惑時，窮人和富人分別是怎樣反應的。《每日郵報》（Daily Mail）也報道了這件事：At the start of the two-minute clip, Johal explains that he plans to walk up to homeless people and individuals in a wealthy neighborhood and ask them the same question: Did he win?在這段兩分鐘的視頻開頭，Johal解釋說，他計劃分別走近流浪漢們和富人區的居民，並問他們一個相同的問題：自己中獎了嗎？Johal will be wearing sunglasses and feeling his way with a cane, convincingly playing the part of a blind man unable to see his fortune for himself.Johal將戴著墨鏡，用一根棍子摸索前進，假裝自己是一位盲人，無法看見獎金。First, he visits a "wealthier area" of town, calling out to a passing man who stops to talk to him. Johal tells the man that his mom gave him the lottery ticket in his hand and told him it was a big winner, but he wanted to confirm whether it really was. He explains to the man that he is blind, so he can't see the ticket himself.一開始，他去了一個較為富裕的區，叫住路過的一位男士。該男子停下來和他交談起來。他告訴男子，媽媽給了自己一張彩票，並說他中了大獎。但是Johal希望確認自己是否真的中了大獎。他解釋說，自己是位盲人，所以看不見彩票。Shockingly, the man takes the ticket from Johals hand, looks both ways, and then walks away without a word.令人震驚的是，該男子將彩票從Johal的手中接過後，向兩邊看了看，然後一聲不吭地就走了。當Johal接近另一個富人區的男士時，竟發生了相同的故事。''No, it's not a winner, not at all,'' the lying man tells him before slipping the ticket into his own pocket and adding that he's happy to get rid of it for Johal.該男子謊稱，「沒有，根本沒中獎。」然後把彩票悄悄放進了自己的口袋。他還說自己很樂意幫Johal丟掉它。Johal給了他一次說實話的機會，再次向他確認中獎與否，然而得到的回答是："I've looked at it twice, three times now. Not a winner." 我都看了兩三次了，真沒中獎。這時Johal才告訴他，自己其實並不是盲人。男子聽了后，立馬丟掉彩票，咒罵了一句，匆匆離開了。《每日郵報》的記者問，要是這500美元真的就這樣被拿走了怎麼辦？Johal說："I wasn't actually worried about the possibility of someone stealing the ticket because, while it was real, it wouldn't bring the thief any riches. The ticket I was using had already been redeemed."「其實我並不擔心別人會偷走這張彩票。儘管這張彩票是真的，但不會給小偷帶去任何財富，因為彩票已經被兌換過了。」接下來，Johal去了窮人區，向那些無家可歸的流浪漢們問了同樣的問題。"My god, you won $500 on this." one homeless man in a baseball cap tells him earnestly. 「天哪，你這張彩票中了500美元。」一個戴著棒球帽的流浪漢認真地告訴他。終於得到了一個誠實的答覆，Johal很開心。他摘下自己的墨鏡， 告訴了這個男人真相，然後給了他10美元。The few bucks are especially welcome since the man informs Johal that he hadn't eaten since breakfast the day before.這不多的幾美元讓流浪漢喜出望外，他告訴Johal，昨天吃過早飯後，到現在還粒米未進。之後Johal又去問了另外一個無家可歸的女人。When he asks her whether is ticket really is a winner, she exclaims: "Wow! It's a $500 winner."當他詢問自己的彩票是否真的中獎時，她喊道：「哇！中了500美元呢。」Touchingly, the woman seems genuinely excited for Johal, laughing while she directs him to go cash it. Johal rewards her as well, handing her a $10 bill for being so "honest and generous".令人動容的是，這位女士笑著讓Johal趕快去兌換彩票時，能看出她真的為Johal中獎感到激動。Johal同樣也給了她10美元，作為對她誠實和善良的回報。做完實驗后，Johal有點失望，他告訴《每日郵報》：''I was extremely sad from the results, seeing someone who is homeless on the streets and doesn't take my lottery ticket compared to someone who had a job - it's a pretty sad thing.''「這樣的結果讓我十分難過，看看那些大街上無家可歸的人們，他們都不願意拿我的彩票，再比比那些有工作的人，真是太難受了。」這位小哥還做過很多社會實驗，小研為大家選出另外一則。在這個街頭實驗里，Johal趁一個流浪漢睡著時，偷偷塞給他100美金。之後的劇情發展讓人淚目……（美國研究所留學）
