石頭、剪刀、布

不僅中國人，許多國家的人都玩“石頭、剪刀、布”的游戲。只是中國人說“布”，而英美人說 paper。

　　Rock-Scissors-Paper is a simple children’s game that has a wide appeal.（“石頭、剪刀、布”是個具有廣泛魅力的簡單的兒童游戲。）But most Americans call it Rock-Paper-Scissors. （但大多數(shù)美國人稱它為“石頭、布、剪刀”。）Rock- Scissors-Paper is a hand game  played by two or more people.（“石頭、剪刀、布”是兩個或兩個以上的人玩的手技游戲。）

　　In  this finger  play,people make rock, scissors, and paper gestures with their hands. （在這個猜拳游戲中，人們用手做出石頭、剪刀或布的手勢。）The players simultaneously reveal a fist, two fingers, or open hand.（幾名玩者同時亮出拳頭、兩根手指、或張開的手。）The fist  represents rock, the two fingers represents scissors, and the open hand represents paper respectively. （拳頭代表石頭，兩根手指代表剪刀、而張開的手代表布。）

　　In the children's game of Rock-Scissors-Paper, players each choose one of the  three strategies. (在“石頭、剪刀、布”的兒童游戲中，每位玩者選擇三種手勢之一。)A rock beats a pair of scissors, scissors beat a sheet of paper, and paper beats a rock, so the three strategies form a competitive cycle.（石頭贏剪刀，剪刀贏布，而布又贏石頭，于是這三種手勢構成了一個競爭性的循環(huán)圈。）
