对话场景

听说外教Tommy来自德克萨斯州，Elvin非常兴奋地向他请教如何玩德州扑克。
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，我应该了解了花色和手牌的名字。但是下注方法我还不太懂。不同类型游戏不一样吗？）
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.
（尽管下注方式不同，但从五张抽到德州扑克术语都差不多。）
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.
（下注方法的话，有看牌、跟注、加注、或者弃注。记住如果你说“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?
（你们弃注的时候会喊“too rich for my blood（吃不消了）”吗？）
Tommy：Haha, sometimes. In any case, it's a good phrase to know!
（哈哈，有的时候会的。不管怎样，知道这个短语还是很有用的！）
Elvin：Great! Now I just need to go work on my poker face.
（太好了！我还得训练一下自己的扑克脸。）
Tommy：I had no idea you were such a card shark.
（我一点都不知道你是牌场老手呢。）
Elvin：No, I just like to play friendly games after work.
（哪有，我只是下班后喜欢玩几把友谊赛。）
Tommy：Well， since I helped you with poker, would you be able to show me Mahjong?
（我帮你学习扑克，你也教我打麻将吧？）
Elvin：Deal!
（没问题！）
