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。3 U1 q$ I" ]5 V0 \

. ^/ B. h, o6 |8 P& c/ e: l5 q/ A' G+ `. N

: Y3 ~4 @3 l$ k. d7 t# zM:Yup. He's money. You can also call things money. For example, this pizza we are eating is money.

& B3 f# F$ ]9 C) H& \Michael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。
