成人英语三级阅读理解(33)

Sam: She's praying to Wen Changjun. Hey, I have an idea.
Ian: You have a plan to help Ann?
Sam: Yeah. We'll go pray with her. Then afterwards, we'll get baozhong tea.
Ian: Wow! Chinese gods can bless English tests, too? So what's baozhong tea?
Sam: “Baozhong”sounds similar to the verb phrase, “to pass a test.”
Ian: But what if she's too busy to go?
Sam: I have ways. If she resists, you grab her arms, I'll grab her feet.

(续上期)

山姆：她要去拜文昌君。嘿，我有一个主意。
伊恩：你有帮助安的计划吗？
山姆：对，我们跟她一起去拜。在那之后，我们去喝包种茶。
伊恩：哇！中国的神明也可以保佑英文考试？什么是包种茶？
山姆：‘包种'听起来跟动词词组‘包中'很像，是‘考试过关'的意思。
伊恩：万一她太忙了不能去呢？
山姆：我自有办法。如果她抵抗，你就抓她的手，我来抓她的脚。
