Part III: ​​​When would people break the law?
（人们什么时候会违法？）

Umm, this is a tough question for me to answer because I have never broken the law. But from the news, from the confessions of the criminals, I think they broke the law for different reasons. For example some thieves stole others properties because they had no money to survive and no skills to do so, or they just didn’t want to make an effort. But you know what, I just couldn’t get why some people would commit fraud, like telephone fraud and cyber fraud. I think it’s unforgivable to cheat someone who has nothing to do with your own problems, especially deceiving the old and children.

▲tough adj. 困难的
▲break the law 违法
▲confession n.供词，招供
▲criminal n. 罪犯
▲property n.财产
▲survive v.生存
▲make an effort 努力

✏️分享一个地道词组

a lost cause

cause 作名词有「事业，追求，目标」的意思，a lost cause 失败的事业，表示「必败无疑的事，无望之人」，英文解释为something that has no chance of succeeding。

既可以形容人，也可以形容事物。我们来看几个例子。

电影《小妇人》里有着一段话：
Beth is sick, Jo is a lost cause, and I hear Meg has had her head turned by a penniless tutor.
贝丝病了，乔无药可救，我还听梅格被一个一贫如洗的家庭教师迷住了。

《再造淑女》里也出现过这个词：
Well, you, my dear, was a lost cause.
而你呢，亲爱的，就是一事无成。

《经济⛄️人》一篇关于意大利经济状况的文章也用到了这个词：

The healthy rate of Italian household saving underpinning this could be tapped by the government as an alternative to bond-market funding, which looks a lost cause.
意大利健康的家庭储蓄水平支持上述论点。政府可以利用家庭储蓄作为债券市场资金的替代手段，不过，这看上去注定失败。

✍️ 以后我们想说XX没救了，就可以用sth / sb is a lost cause.来表达。
