Michael和李华今天去看篮球比赛。球赛是在纽约大型室内体育馆[麦迪逊广场花园]举行,这场比赛是华盛顿的球队对纽约的球队。 Michael到中国去学过中文,他让李华跟他讲中文,以便练习听力。现在他们俩正在排队进入体育馆。今天他们在对话中会用choke和 money这两个词。

L: 你说纽约队会输?你还说什么 choke? 你是说他们吃饭时会噎着啦?这跟输球有什么关系,我不懂。
7 `$ O0 Y( N, @& l- p" o+ F6 T: v" ?2 z3 k
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.
* [) T$ f; s3 D- ]' \+ V2 ^# a8 `4 ]2 p8 ~# f: ^1 ]

/ f) z, I: x" |1 aMichael和李华今天在对话里用的两个词意思是相对的。 To choke是糟糕,失败的意思;而money是保持高水平,非常棒的意思。最好大家都不要choke,都成为money,那就太棒了。$ z7 O$ a, ^# l0 a
