2014-08-28 【Aiden in English】 Spoons are a sort of fun card game that kids can enjoy. Although it may get a little rough, it's a game I love. Except at GHCS Summer Camp, we tweaked it up a little bit. Around 1 this afternoon, just after lunch, my friends Kevin, Michelle, and I were playing Spoons when suddenly someone turned on the fan. The fan blew the cards everywhere. Kevin shouted: "Which Nincompoop turned on the fan?!" As I heard the word "Nincompoop" leave his mouth, I began trembling with laughter. Michelle soon began to laugh too. And not a second after we started laughing, the whole class was in doubling over in hysterical laughter. And so, we named the game Spoons Nincompoop. There were a few changes though.
The objective is to pass the cards around in a circle and collect 4 of the same number. For example, if you have three 3's, you pick up a 3. Then you swapped your 4th card out, so you have four 3's. Once you have 4 of one number, you pick up a spoon. If you see someone pick up a spoon, you pick up a spoon. There is always one less spoon than the number of players. The last person not to pick up a spoon loses. Here's what's different. If you lose, you get a letter. The letters spell Nincompoop. If you spell Nincompoop, you lose for good and you must wear a sign on your back written with Nincompoop for the day.
Sometimes, silly little moments happen even if by accident.

《勺子》是一个蛮有意思的纸牌游戏，小朋友们肯定爱玩，尽管不太好打，但我的确挺喜欢的。在宾州光华中文学校夏令营里玩的有点例外，我们把它稍微改动了一下。
今天下午一点钟左右，刚刚吃罢午饭，我与朋友凯文和豫立正玩《勺子》游戏，突然有人打开电扇，将扑克牌吹落一地，凯文喊了起来：“是哪个淘气包干的好事﹖﹗”我一听到“淘气包”一词脱口而出，忍不住乐爆肚皮。豫立见状，立刻被逗得前俯后仰。转眼间，欢快声传遍教室，感染了周围所有的人，大家纷纷跟着一起发出歇斯底里的狂笑。鉴于这种情形，我们当即把《勺子》改叫《淘气包》，并作了相应调整。
大家围做一圈按《勺子》打法发牌，每人试图收集四张相同号码的扑克牌。举例来说，如果你有三张“3”，那么仍需得到另外一张“3”。接下来，你设法换回第四张“3”。一旦手上四张牌数字一致，你得一只勺子。当看到别人拿勺时，你自己也要拿勺，可勺子的额度总是比打牌人数少一个，因此最后得不到勺子的人算输。在这里《淘气包》与《勺子》有所区别，倘若输了，你就要抽一个字母，所有字母都是“淘气包”的组字成分。假如收集到的字母恰好为“淘气包”的话，你彻底被淘汰出局，其背后还要贴上写有“淘气包”字样的标记。 有时候，恶作剧出奇不意，事先毫无准备。
