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國王的名字，必須退回到更久遠的歷史里去。梅花國王是大馬其頓王國年輕的亞歷山大，國王大衛(wèi)是黑桃國王。大衛(wèi)是殺死巨人歌利亞的人。當某個人談到大衛(wèi)和歌利亞，他的意思是一個小個的人，或弱者正在打敗一個非常高大和強壯的敵人。大衛(wèi)戰(zhàn)勝了歌利亞成為國王。他可能從來沒有想到他會在撲克牌里有一個位置。

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)王的時代去找兩個王后。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、當偉大的亞利桑德拉還是將軍時，雅典娜是一個重要的女神。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、英國的伊利沙白一世女王一般認為是梅花王后。在她統(tǒng)治英國的時代，美國幾乎還是一片荒野。
