(Feifei and Finn playing cards)
Feifei: 一個五。
Finn: I'm laying an eight.
Feifei: Hmm, 那我就來張丁鉤。
Finn: (Faster pace) Queen!
Feifei: Ace! 尖兒！
Finn: OK OK, you go again!
Feifei: 哈哈, 這次我出 three sevens 三個七。
Finn: Wow, going bigger, are we?
Feifei: Absolutely! Come on then, what have you got?
Are you ace at playing cards?
Finn: I've got three kings! I bet you can't beat that?
Feifei: Hahaha! Check this out Finn - three Aces! (Very happy) 怎麼樣，我贏了吧，今天晚飯你請啦。
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! 我沒有只出尖兒呀，剛才我不是先出了張五、一張丁鉤、然後一個圈兒、倆四、還有三個...(interrupted)
Finn: No, no, no. I didn't mean literally 'an ace' card player. In English, we can use the word 'ace' as an adjective to mean 'very good, excellent, and awesome'.
Feifei: 噢，原來你是在說我的牌技很好。Thank you Finn, very kind of you. 在英語裏，單詞 ace 可以當形容詞使用，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!
