    soony--I find that’s true with me,too.One needs that kind of company now and again just to keep the old gray matter from getting stagnant!

    DIALOG 37
    AFTER THE GAME
    laurance--Did you watch the game last might?
    soony--I sure did.I wouldn’t have missed it for anything!
    laurance--I think it was one of the best games I’ve ever seen.
    soony--Me too.I thought both teams played super ball.Too bad one had to lose.
    laurance--Yeah.I thought they were evenly matched.It could have gone either way!
    soony--That shot that won in the last fifteen seconds was really something.
    ===========================================================

    1)I wouldn’t...for anything.此句是虛擬語氣。for anything=no matter what had happened.
    2)played super ball:球踢得好極了。
    3)evenly matched:勢均力敵。match是“相匹配”之意。
    4)It could have gone either way.=Either team could have won or lost.It指的是球賽的結(jié)果。因?yàn)閷?shí)際上輸贏已定,所以此句用了虛擬語氣,反映說話人的看法而已。
