1. The next time you do a card trick-remember this. Youre playing with history. The playing cards we use today are much like those used for hundreds of years. The most interesting things are the suits and face cards. A suit of a playing card is not a thing to be worn. It means Hearts, Spades, Diamonds or Clubs. The figures are placed on each card with the number or value of the card. The face cards are the Jacks, Queens, Kings, and, of course, the Jokers. 1、当你下一次玩扑克的时候，要记住这些。你正在与历史进行游戏。今天我们用的扑克，几乎与数百年前的扑克相差无几。最有意思的东西是扑克里的套和脸牌。扑克中的套不是什么可以穿的东西。它意味着红心、黑桃、红方块、或者梅花。牌面的数标志着牌的顺序或价值。带脸的牌是杰克、皇后、国王、当然还有鬼。 2. What do you think the suits stand for? Lets take the Hearts first. When you say that an athlete has a lot of heart, what do you mean? You mean that he is brave. So, you see, the King of Hearts is a brave king. 2、你认为套代表什么意思?让我们先看红心。当你说一个运动员有很多心，你到底想表达什么意思?你的意思是他很勇敢。因此，你看，红心国王是勇敢之王。 3. Look at the design of the Spade on a card. The word spade comes from the Italian word which means sword. With a little imagination, you can see the handle and the blade. Of course, the blade has been made much shorter on the card. |
