雙語日記一例

 

昨天我照慣例，參加星期三傍晚的福音英文會話團活動，由兩位全部時間傳教士長老擔任主持人。
As usual, I attended the Wednesday evening Gospel English Conversation Group activity yesterday, hosted by two full-time missionary elders.

這兩位長老都是從美國猶他州來的，大約都是19歲左右，
Both elders are from Utah, USA, and are around 19 years old.

一個來台灣將近半年，另一個才剛來兩個星期。
One has been in Taiwan for nearly six months, while the other just arrived two weeks ago.

較資深的那一個，可以用中文溝通，較資淺的那一個還不太會說中文。
The more experienced one can communicate in Chinese, while the newer one is not yet fluent in Chinese.

昨天傍晚有8位非教會成員出席英文會話活動，加上傳教士和我，總共11個人。
Yesterday evening, eight non-church members attended the English conversation activity. Including the missionaries and me, there were a total of 11 people.

兩位傳教士帶領大家玩一個遊戲。
The two missionaries led everyone in playing a game.

這遊戲先選出一個人，他想定自己的一項嗜好，暫時保密不讓其他人知道。
In this game, one person is selected to think of a hobby, keeping it a secret from the others.

然後，其他人輪流問他一個是或否的問題，讓他比對先前想定的答案，來回答是或否。
Then, the others take turns asking yes-or-no questions, and the selected person answers based on the predetermined hobby.

限定總問題數目不得超過20個。
The total number of questions is limited to no more than 20.

如果在20個問題以內，有人猜出了答案，那人就獲勝。
If someone guesses the correct answer within 20 questions, that person wins.

如果問了20個問題，還沒有猜出答案，那麼出題者就獲勝。
If 20 questions are asked and no one guesses correctly, the person who chose the hobby wins.
