(Feifei and Finn playing cards)


Feifei: 一个五。


Finn: I'm laying an eight.


Feifei: Hmm, 那我就来张丁钩。


Finn: (Faster pace) Queen!


Feifei: Ace 1! 尖儿!


Finn: OK OK, you go again!


Feifei: 哈哈, 这次我出 three sevens 三个七。


Finn: Wow, going bigger, are we?


Feifei: Absolutely! Come on then, what have you got?


Finn: I've got three kings! I bet you can't beat that?


Feifei: Hahaha! Check this out Finn - three Aces 2! (Very happy) 怎么样,我赢了吧,今天晚饭你请啦。


Finn: (Frustrated) Yes, yes, I know. I didn't know you were an ace card player, Feifei!


Feifei: What do you mean 'an ace' card player? I play other cards too! 我没有只出尖儿呀,刚才我不是先出了张五、一张丁钩、然后一个圈儿、俩四、还有三个...(interrupted)


Finn: No, no, no. I didn't mean literally 3 'an ace' card player. In English, we can use the word 'ace' as an adjective to mean 'very good, excellent, and awesome 4'.


Feifei: 噢,原来你是在说我的牌技很好。Thank you Finn, very kind of you. 在英语里,单词 ace 可以当形容词使用,意思是非常好、一流的。


Finn: Here are some examples using the word 'ace'.


This is an ace idea!


That is an ace laptop you've got!


Have you listened to Arctic Monkeys' new album? It's ace!


I'm ace at cooking!


Andy Murray is an ace tennis player!


Finn: So we can use 'ace' to describe an idea, a thing or a person. And you can say you're ace at doing something. So Feifei, do you like 斗地主?


Feifei: Yes, it’s ace!


Finn: Shall we have a game? I'm pretty ace at playing 斗地主。


Feifei: But it's time for dinner and you are paying!


Finn: One more game, then we'll go...


Feifei: No, let's go now, I'm hungry! Can we go to the new Thai restaurant that's just opened? I heard they serve ace tom yum soup!


Finn: OK, in that case, let's go now.


Feifei: Ace!


Finn: Bye!


Feifei: See you next time!
