心涛：洋洋，你平时喜欢干什么来打发时间？ 洋洋：我平时比较喜欢听音乐、看电影，和几个朋友一起逛街。你呢？ 心涛：我比较喜欢体育运动，要么看比赛，要么和朋友踢踢足球。 洋洋：我前一段时间去旅行，发现广州那边的人特别喜欢用打麻将来打发时间。 心涛：嗯，打麻将是一种很有趣的消遣方式。 洋洋：我很少打麻将，你呢，你经常打麻将吗？ 心涛：过年过节的时候打得比较多。麻将实际上是一种纸牌与骨牌的结合体，其基础花样源于明代的纸牌"马吊"。它的玩法复杂有趣，但是基本打法较为简单，很容易上手，是中国历史上最能吸引人的游戏形式之一。一副完整的麻将牌共有156张，目前流行的是精简版麻将，共144张牌。玩麻将时，先要洗牌，然后码牌、开牌、理牌、审牌、补花，最后就是行牌，即打牌。 洋洋：哇，你果然是行家，说起来居然一套一套的。 心涛：这没什么的，等你玩几次，手法就自然娴熟了。打麻将还非常讲究策略和技巧，它集益智性、趣味性于一体，是中国传统文化的一个重要组成部分。早在上世纪20年代，麻将就从美国辗转传入欧洲，并流行开来，成为很多人喜爱的一种娱乐活动。 洋洋：有机会你教教我怎样打麻将吧，我也想学学，感受一下它带给人们的独特的魅力呢！ 心涛：好啊！我们不要只是纸上谈兵了，叫上几个朋友一起实践一下吧！ XT: YY, what are you fond of doing to kill time?
