Window to the Past
Machine - (push
button) Poker cards. Some people think that poker cards were evolved by
“Tarot”, because Tarot also has 4 patterns.
撲克牌。有些人認為撲克牌是由塔羅牌演化而成的，因為塔羅牌跟撲克牌一樣有四種花色。

This is too boring, and I don’t understand!
停！這太無聊了，而且我聽不懂！
Machine- I know.
I don’t want to repeat the same thing every time either.
我知道啊。我也不想要每次一直重複一樣的事情啊
Visitor 2- Then
tell me something interesting about poker cards.
那你就告訴我一些跟撲克牌有關的事情吧。

letters? And see the faces? Do you know what they mean?
看到那些字母跟圖案了嗎?你知道它們代表什麼嗎?
Visitor 1-
That’s what I’m here for. Tell me.
這就是我來這裡的原因啊。告訴我吧。
Machine- K
stands for king, Q stands for queen and J stands for Jack, which means knight,
too…
K代表國王，Q代表王后，J代表騎士。
Visitor 2 -I
said it’s too boring! So tell me about the pictures on the cards. Do they
each really represent a real person in history?
我已經說了，這很無聊！告訴我跟卡片上的圖片有關的事情吧。他們真的各自代表一個歷史人物嗎?
Machine- Yes,
you’re right. Spade K is David, Heart K is Charlemagne, Clubs K is King
Alexander, and Diamond K is Caesar the Great.
恩，你說對了。黑桃K是大衛，愛心K是查里曼，梅花K是亞歷山大大帝，而菱形K是凱薩大帝。

(Yawn) I’m so sorry. You’re putting me to sleep. But thank you for all the
information.

wait, there must be something that you don’t know. Did you notice the knife going
through the King’s head?
等等，一定有什麼事情是你不知道的。你有沒有發現有一把刀子穿過國王的頭
Visitor 2- Yeah,
I always wondered what happened to this king.Is he trying to end his life?
有啊，我常常在想這個國王到底發生什麼事了。他是不是再試著結束他的生命呢?
Machine- No,
it’s just a mistake made by the printers.
不是啦，這只是印表機列印時出錯而已。
Visitor 1- Oh,
that’s interesting!! Are there more mysteries?
哦~真有趣！還有其他有趣的事嗎
Machine - Hmm…
Do you know why poker cards have two colors?
恩...你知道為什麼撲克牌有兩種顏色嗎?
Visitor 2 -
Because there are two players?

不。紅色代表著白天，而黑色則象徵著黑夜。

why are there 52 cards?
