壹蘋派生活美語　詭譎莫測的鬼牌

　　Today, the Joker still has an air of mystery about it. Modern card decks often include two Joker cards. They are often colorful and feature a clown-like court jester. In pop culture, the image of the Joker has taken on many meanings. The most famous Joker is the enemy of Batman. With his green hair, crazy smile, and purple suit, the Joker from the comic book and movie series represents madness and chaos.

　　如今，鬼牌依舊帶著一股神祕氣息。現代牌組經常包含兩張鬼牌。它們通常色彩繽紛，並以像小丑一樣的宮廷弄臣為特色。在流行文化中，鬼牌的形象具有多種意義。最著名的鬼牌是蝙蝠俠的敵人。有著一頭綠髮、狂妄笑容並身穿紫色西裝，漫畫和電影系列中的小丑代表著瘋狂和混亂。
