1--Look at this newspaper article about this famous local medium. It says that she is really gifted and so popular now, that she is booked solid with appointments for the next twelve months!
2--You don't really believe in all that hocus pocus mumbo jumbo, do you?
1--Well, I have had many friends that went to a psychic and got their palms read and most of the things the psychic told her came true!
2--Of course it does! They tell you general and obvious things like that you will be successful or have a big house. I think most of the times they are just scam artists.
1--Well, historically it is a practice that many cultures share. Reading the tarot cards, in the east they would even read tea leaves! I even heard that there are people that make you smoke a cigar, and then read your ashes.
2--All superstitious nonsense! I would still like to go to one and see what he or she has to say, just for kicks.

1--看报纸上关于著名当地媒介的文章。上面说她非常有天赋并且很受欢迎，她在未来的一年中都有预定。
2--你不会相信这些戏法对吗？
1--嗯，我有很多朋友去巫婆那里。巫婆通过看手相就能预测他们的未来，很多都实现了。
2--当然能够实现！他们会告诉你同常会发生的显而易见的东西。比如你将要成功或者将有一个大房子。我相信大多时候是个诡计艺术家。
1--嗯，从历史的角度，这是很多文化通有的东西。读塔罗纸牌，在东方，他们甚至会读茶叶！我甚至听说过让你吸烟然后看吸烟后剩下的烟灰。
2--都是迷信的鬼话！不过我还是会去看相，了解一下他们到底会说什么，就是为了好玩。
