Laura: So, this is the temple fair, right?
Shirley : Yeah. Would you like to appreciate the Buddhist statues?
Laura: Sure. But let's go there first. People are gathering there. I'm getting curious about it.
Shirley: Oh, it's the “Blessing Wall”. That's a good place to go.
Laura: Why do people put these cards on the wall after they write some stuff on them?
Shirley: The “Blessing Wall” is said to be magical. The thing you write on the cards will come true one day.
Laura: Interesting. I have many blessings to give. So, can you wait for me for a while?
Shirley: Take your time.
(After putting her card on the “Blessing Wall”, Laura comes back to Shirley.)
Laura: Aunt Shirley, what are you doing there?
Shirley: I'm trying to drop a coin into the mouth of the fish statue in the well.
Laura: Why do you do this? Are there any interesting stories behind it?
Shirley: Yeah. People say that, if you drop coins in the mouth of the fish statue, you will be lucky. But it seems that I'm not that lucky.
Laura: Let me have a try.
Shirley: Good luck to you.
(Laura successfully drops a coin into the mouth of the fish statue.)
Laura: Oh, look, I did it. By the way, what do they do with the money collected in this way?
Shirley：For charity. I think it's really a good thing.

羅拉：那么，這就是廟會了，對吧？
雪莉：是啊。你想去拜拜佛像嗎？
羅拉：當(dāng)然。不過，我們先去那邊吧。那里圍了好多人。我很好奇那是什么。
雪莉：哦，那是“許愿墻”，是個很好玩的地方。
羅拉：為什么大家在卡片上寫了東西之后，還把它們掛在墻上呢？
雪莉：據(jù)說“許愿墻”是很神奇的。在卡片上寫的東西有一天會成真呢。
羅拉：有趣。我有很多祝福要送出呢。那么，你可以等我一下嗎？
雪莉：你慢慢來。
（羅拉把卡片掛到“許愿墻”上之后，過去找雪莉。）
羅拉：雪莉阿姨，你在這兒做什么呢？
雪莉：我在試著把硬幣投進(jìn)井里這個魚雕像的嘴巴里。
羅拉：你為什么這么做呢？這里面有什么有趣的故事嗎？
雪莉：對啊，人們說，如果你把硬幣投進(jìn)魚雕像的嘴巴里，你就會走運。但是看來我不是很幸運哦。
羅拉：讓我試試看。
雪莉：祝你好運。
（羅拉成功地把一枚硬幣投進(jìn)了魚雕像的嘴巴里。）
羅拉：哦，快看，我投進(jìn)了。對了，他們會拿這些搜集的錢做什么呢？
雪莉：做慈善活動啊。我覺得這是一件很好的事情啊。

Laura: I went to the temple fair today. It was fun. There was a “Blessing Wall” which was said to be magical. So I put a card on the wall after writing some stuff on it. I hoped the thing I wrote on the card would come true some day. There was also a fish statue in a well, whose mouth was widely opened. People said that if you managed to drop a coin into its mouth, you would be lucky.
