心意還是比賽？
Kenny is talking to his friend Maggie.
肯尼正在跟朋友瑪姬聊天。
Kenny: Hey Maggie, quick question. Is NT$600 okay for a red envelope? I want to give some to my cousins.
肯尼：嘿，瑪姬，問個小問題。紅包包600元可以嗎？我想給我的表弟妹們。
hand out red envelopes發紅包
Maggie: Oh, I just saw a post about this! Believe it or not, some people say NT$600 is too low now. They say kids will laugh at you!
瑪姬：喔，我剛好看到一篇相關貼文！信不信由你，有人說現在包600元太少了，小孩還會笑你呢！
believe it or not信不信由你laugh at嘲笑
Kenny: Are you serious? NT$600 can buy a lot of snacks! Why is it too low?
肯尼：真的假的？600元可以買很多零食耶！為什麼太少？
serious(adj.)嚴重的、認真的
Maggie: Well, things are getting more expensive. Some people online think NT$1,000 is the new basic, or even NT$1,200!
瑪姬：嗯，因為東西越來越貴了。網路上有人覺得1,000元才是起跳價，甚至要1,200元！
be getting+比較級:越來越……basic(n.)基本、基礎
Kenny: That’s wild. When I was a kid, I was happy with just NT$200.
肯尼：太誇張了。我小時候拿到200元就很開心了。
be happy with…對～感到滿意、開心=be satisfied with
Maggie: I know, right? One guy in the news said he always gives NT$2,000, and now he’s broke!
瑪姬：就是說啊！新聞裡有個傢伙說他都包2,000元，結果現在他自己窮到爆！
broke(adj.)沒錢的、破產的be heavily／deep in debt負債累累
Kenny: I’m a student. I can’t afford that. Should I feel bad?
肯尼：我是個學生，付不起那樣的金額。我應該感到不好意思嗎？
afford(v.)負擔得起
Maggie: Not at all. Most people say you should just give what you can. It’s a gift, not a contest.
瑪姬：完全不用。大部分的人都說量力而為就好。這是心意，不是比賽。
contest(n.)比賽=competition
Kenny: True. Oh, look at this! One person plays a game where the prizes are between NT$200 and NT$2,000.
肯尼：也是。喔，你看這個！有人玩抽獎遊戲，紅包金額從200元到2,000元不等。
Maggie: That’s a cool idea! It makes it fun for everyone.
瑪姬：這主意很酷！讓大家都覺得很好玩。
