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。

. G, L- v" L# r3 r9 D& \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.- h% p/ o" s0 x( |2 ]

; m- G# T2 I1 ?1 A9 nL:噢,我懂了。 你说的choke 是指纽约队会抵挡不住华盛顿球队的压力而输掉,对吗?

  Y5 L- W/ C& v; qMichael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。0 f5 ^% t/ p, ?  o& Y
