L: 嗨，Michael，謝謝你買到這么好的票！我真高興能到[麥迪遜廣場]來看球。這可是有名的體育館喲！
M： No problem! I am really happy you could come. Yeah, I love coming to the Garden to watch basketball games.
L: 你也喜歡來這里看籃球比賽啊，那太好了。今天是紐約隊比華盛頓隊，你看結(jié)局會怎樣？
M： Well, Li Hua, I think New York is going to lose. Knowing them, their going to choke.
L: 你說紐約隊會輸？你還說什么 choke? 你是說他們吃飯時會噎著啦？這跟輸球有什么關(guān)系，我不懂。
M： No, no, no! They're not going to choke on their food! It's the same word with the same spelling, but it has a different meaning. Here, choke means to fail under pressure.
L：噢，我懂了。 你說的choke是指紐約隊會抵擋不住華盛頓球隊的壓力而輸?shù)?，對嗎?BR> M: Yes! And choke has many uses. How else do you think it can be used?
L: Choke可以用在很多地方?？荚嚳荚懔耍梢杂胏hoke這個字吧？
M: Yes! In fact, I choked on a test last week.
L： 你上星期考試考糊了？嘿，Michael，我還知道怎么用choke這個字。你不是老想請那個姑娘出去玩嗎？你請她，她連電話都不回，這可真讓你choked了，對不對？
M： It seems like you really understand this word! Yeah, but it doesn't matter with that girl because I don't like her anyway.
L: 噢，你說得可真輕松，沒關(guān)系，因?yàn)槟悴幌矚g她。好，那你告訴我你喜歡哪個女孩吶？
M：Oh, that doesn't matter. Let's go to our seats！
L: 好，好，去找位置吧！
(Michael和李華找到了自己的座位)
L: Michael，你看，紐約隊看來不會輸，他們贏了兩個球，現(xiàn)在還剩十秒了。只要紐約隊不失去球，他們就不會輸。
M： I think that New York is going to win. Maybe they won't choke after all.
L： 你也認(rèn)為紐約隊可能不會輸？等等，你看，紐約隊丟了球！這下他們完了！華盛頓隊要求暫停，他們還有贏的機(jī)會。
M： Washington is going to win. Michael Jordan will make the last shot. He is money.
L : 你認(rèn)為華盛頓球隊會贏，Michael Jordan 會投進(jìn)最后一個球。你說 "He is money "是說他會賺錢嗎？
M：No, by money, here I mean that he performs consistently at a high level.
L: 噢，這兒的money不是指錢，是指他打球一直保持在高水平上，一直打得很棒。
M：Yes, you could say Yao Ming is money too.
L: 姚明當(dāng)然很棒，所以也可以說：Yao Ming is money。那我們班的Steven，他考試總是考得很好，也能說，He is money?
M：Yup. He's money. You can also call things money. For example, this pizza we are eating is money.
L: 原來凡是好的東西都可以說是money。我們正在吃的比薩餅是很好吃，所以也可以說是money.
M：Do you think the coffee shop we like to go to is money?
L: 我們常去的咖啡館當(dāng)然非常好，我一有空就想去。
M: Michael Jordan won the game! I told you he is money!
L: Michael Jordan贏得了比賽，他就是棒。
M：Let's get going, though. I have to study for a test. I don't want to choke on the test again.
L: 好吧，你快回去準(zhǔn)備考試吧，我知道你要再考糊，就麻煩了。
