Who Wants to Be a Millionaire？
谁会成为百万富翁

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ？ is a British television quiz show presented by Chris Tarrant and produced by the ITV network. The contestant could get a maximum cash prize of one million pounds for correctly answering successive multiple-choice questions of increasing difficulty. Originally broadcast on successive evenings for around ten days, the series later appeared weekly in a primetime slot on Saturday evenings, and also occasionally on Tuesday evenings.
《谁会成为百万富翁》是英国一档智力竞赛节目，由克里斯·塔兰特主持，英国独立电视台出品。能够正确答对一系列难度系数逐渐增加的多项选择题的选手可以拿到最高100万英镑的奖金。该节目起初在晚间连续播出十天，后来在每周六晚的黄金时段播出，偶尔也会在周二晚间播出。

Contestants could choose to leave the game at any point and claim the prize for the last correctly answered question without penalty. Answering the second question correctly guarantees that a contestant will leave with no less than ￡1,000 if they provide an incorrect answer to a later question, and answering the seventh question correctly increases the minimum payout to ￡50,000. Three lifelines were presented at the beginning of the game in order to aid contestants — one, Phone a Friend: contestants could call one of the friends to ask for help. Two, Ask the Audience: the audience votes on the correct answer. Three, 50/50: Two incorrect answers are eliminated.
参赛选手可以在全程任何时候选择离开比赛，领走上一题答对时获得的奖金，且无须接受惩罚。即使参赛选手在第二题后答错，答对第二题就能保证选手带走不少于1000英镑的奖金。答对第七个问题时，最低奖金会提高至五万英镑。在比赛一开始选手可以使用三个锦囊来获得帮助——一是电话求助：他们可以打电话给一个朋友请求帮助；二是询问观众：由现场观众投票选出正确答案；三是去掉两个错误答案：即在剩余的两个错误答案中进行选择，正确率提升至50%。

At its peak in 1999, the show pulled in up to nineteen million viewers (an astonishing one in three of the British population).
