Bob: Rags to riches, right? I read she was on the dole when she wrote the first book.
Yijun: Now look at her. She's a billionaire.
Bob: I guess the true magic at work involved her computer rather than a wand and a broom.
Yijun: Now you can't tell me you don't like her story.
Bob: I get enough of Harry Potter from my children. Besides, I'm a Lord of the Rings man, myself.
Yijun: How can you compare them? Harry Potter is way better.
Bob: Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings fifty years before Harry Potter, thank you very much.

In China, the pattern on a person's palm is only one of many clues to his or her destiny. To fortune-tellers, facial features are an indicator of personality and can be used to assess the person's prospects. Other methods of prediction include analyzing the characters and numbers in a person's name.
在中国，掌纹只是用来预测命运的线索之一。对算命师来说，脸部特征是一个人个性的表征，并可借此评估一个人的未来。其它的算命方法还包括分析名字的用字和笔画。 | |
