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。. i3 E1 C" U  ^) ^; S6 t

# p" L" [& o7 G$ J* E  l: Y& GMichael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。( b- J& ^5 R- `8 o2 y
