2--You don't really believe in all that hocus pocus mumbo jumbo, do you?
 
1--Well, I have had many friends that went to a psychic and got their palms read and most of the things the psychic told her came true!
 
2--Of course it does! They tell you general and obvious things like that you will be successful or have a big house. I think most of the times they are just scam artists.
 
1--Well, historically it is a practice that many cultures share. Reading the tarot cards, in the east they would even read tea leaves! I even heard that there are people that make you smoke a cigar, and then read your ashes.
 
2--All superstitious nonsense! I would still like to go to one and see what he or she has to say, just for kicks.

译文：

1--看报纸上关于著名当地媒介的文章。上面说她非常有天赋并且很受欢迎，她在未来的一年中都有预定。
2--你不会相信这些戏法对吗？
1--嗯，我有很多朋友去巫婆那里。巫婆通过看手相就能预测他们的未来，很多都实现了。
2--当然能够实现！他们会告诉你同常会发生的显而易见的东西。比如你将要成功或者将有一个大房子。我相信大多时候是个诡计艺术家。
1--嗯，从历史的角度，这是很多文化通有的东西。读塔罗纸牌，在东方，他们甚至会读茶叶！我甚至听说过让你吸烟然后看吸烟后剩下的烟灰。
2--都是迷信的鬼话！不过我还是会去看相，了解一下他们到底会说什么，就是为了好玩。
