A Handful of History（撲克—手中的歷史）

6. We must go further back in history to find out the names of the two other kings. The young Alexander the Great of Macedonia is the King of Clubs and King David is the King of Spades. David is the person who killed the giant Goliath. When someone talks about a David and Goliath, he means that a smaller, or weaker, person is trying to fight a very large and strong enemy. David beat Goliath and became a king. He probably never thought that he would have a place in playing cards.
6、我們要想找到其它兩個(gè)國(guó)王的名字，必須退回到更久遠(yuǎn)的歷史里去。梅花國(guó)王是大馬其頓王國(guó)年輕的亞歷山大，國(guó)王大衛(wèi)是黑桃國(guó)王。大衛(wèi)是殺死巨人歌利亞的人。當(dāng)某個(gè)人談到大衛(wèi)和歌利亞，他的意思是一個(gè)小個(gè)的人，或弱者正在打敗一個(gè)非常高大和強(qiáng)壯的敵人。大衛(wèi)戰(zhàn)勝了歌利亞成為國(guó)王。他可能從來(lái)沒(méi)有想到他會(huì)在撲克牌里有一個(gè)位置。

7. We must go back to the Bible and the times of David again to find two of our queens. Rachel was a famous woman in the Bible. She is the Queen of Diamonds.
7、我們必須再次回到圣經(jīng)(BIBLE)和大衛(wèi)王的時(shí)代去找兩個(gè)王后。拉結(jié)是圣經(jīng)中的著名女人。她是紅方塊王后。

8. Remember that the heart stands for bravery. A very brave woman is the Queen of Hearts. That was Judith, who killed an enemy general.
8、應(yīng)該還記得心代表勇敢。一個(gè)非常勇敢的女人是紅心王后。紅心王后是朱迪絲，她殺死了敵人的一個(gè)將軍。

9. When Alexander the Great was a general, one of the important woman goddesses was Athena. She stood for wisdom. Athena is the Queen of Spades.
9、當(dāng)偉大的亞利桑德拉還是將軍時(shí)，雅典娜是一個(gè)重要的女神。她代表智慧。雅典娜是黑桃皇后。

10. Queen Elizabeth I of England is thought to be the Queen of Clubs, She ruled England when America was mostly a wilderness.
10、英國(guó)的伊利沙白一世女王一般認(rèn)為是梅花王后。在她統(tǒng)治英國(guó)的時(shí)代，美國(guó)幾乎還是一片荒野。
