1. Note that 牌 refers to a single playing card, as seen in the sentences 这样我们说出一张牌的名字的时候,你们就可以先想一下是哪一张牌. 然后你可以看我们放的牌跟你想的是不是同样的.
2. We have seen 刚好 used in previous lessons in the context of “exactly”. In this lesson we see it used in the context of “happen to be”, as seen in 那如果学生的身上刚好没有扑克牌,有没有什么其他的游戏可以跟别人一起玩,而且又可以练习他们的中文?
3. We see some nice examples of the past tense particle 过 in 我没听过,也没玩过. In this context it can be thought of as meaning “ever” as in “I’ve never ever heard of it” and “I’ve never ever played it.”
4. The 出 in 这样你怎么可能猜得到我出的问题呢? can be thought of as meaning “to put forth”. So a more literal meaning might be “In this case, how is it possible for you to answer the topic I put out?” We see it used in a similar manner in 要是我在二十个问题内猜不到你出的题目,那么你就赢了.
We see a similar usage in 其实很快就能在二十题内猜出答案是什么. Here we can think of the answer being “guessed out aloud”.
5. The 怎么 in 我不怎么相信你说的 can be thought of as changing the meaning to “How am I supposed to believe what you’re saying?”
6. 时间到了 is commonly used in occasions with time limits. It literally means “the time has arrived.”
