|
| B: | 什么？ |
| What? |
| Shénme? |
|
|
| A: | 我会说一些词语，你只要告诉我联想到什么就行了。要完全放松。想到什么就说什么。 |
| I'll say a word, and you just tell me what you associate it with. Relax completely. Just say whatever comes to mind. |

|
|
| B: | 难闻。我最怕烧香的味道了。真搞不懂为什么有那么多人要去求神拜佛。 |

|
|
| A: | 好了，我们今天就到这儿。 |
| OK, let's just stop here today. |
