《English Translation》

小刚: 小宝, do you know that it’s very popular online lately to say '接'?
小宝: '接'? Receiving what?
小刚: It’s like when you see someone doing a good deed or getting something nice, you say '接,' hoping that you can receive the same thing.
小宝: Oh! So it’s like when I see you eating candy, and I say '接,' hoping you’ll give me candy too?
小刚: You can think of it that way. Nowadays, many older brothers and sisters, when they see someone getting a good job or getting into a good school, they say '接,' hoping they’ll have the same good luck.
小宝: Can they really 'receive' good luck?
小刚: Saying '接' is a way to express hope. It also reminds us that to get good things, we have to work hard ourselves. If you just say '接' but don’t study or work hard, good luck won’t come to you.
小宝: I understand! I need to work hard too so I can 'receive' good luck!
