玩撲克牌

對話場景

聽說外教Tommy來自德克薩斯州，Elvin非常興奮地向他請教如何玩德州撲克。
Hearing that Tommy is from Texas，Elvin is excited to ask him how to play Texas Hold'em poker.

Elvin：Okay I think I get the names of the suits and hands. I'm still not sure about betting though. Doesn't that vary from game to game?
（好的，我應該了解了花色和手牌的名字。但是下注方法我還不太懂。不同類型游戲不一樣嗎？）
Tommy：Even though the betting style is different, pretty much any game from Five Card Draw to Texas Hold 'Em will use the same lingo.
（盡管下注方式不同，但從五張抽到德州撲克術語都差不多。）
Elvin：Okay good to know.
（那太好了。）
Tommy：So with betting, you can check, call, raise or fold. Just remember that if you say “I'll raise you twenty,” it means that you're changing the bet amount to twenty, not adding twenty on top of it.
（下注方法的話，有看牌、跟注、加注、或者棄注。記住如果你說“我加注二十”，意思是你加注加到二十，而不是再加二十。）
Elvin：Do you guys actually say “too rich for my blood” when you fold?
（你們棄注的時候會喊“too rich for my blood（吃不消了）”嗎？）
Tommy：Haha, sometimes. In any case, it's a good phrase to know!
（哈哈，有的時候會的。不管怎樣，知道這個短語還是很有用的！）
Elvin：Great! Now I just need to go work on my poker face.
（太好了！我還得訓練一下自己的撲克臉。）
Tommy：I had no idea you were such a card shark.
（我一點都不知道你是牌場老手呢。）
Elvin：No, I just like to play friendly games after work.
（哪有，我只是下班后喜歡玩幾把友誼賽。）
Tommy：Well， since I helped you with poker, would you be able to show me Mahjong?
（我幫你學習撲克，你也教我打麻將吧？）
Elvin：Deal!
（沒問題！）
