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。9 `" A; k* U3 \1 A9 t

" u7 u5 h- k4 ~. [! s, c( a+ k0 HM: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: 好吧,你快回去准备考试吧,我知道你要再考糊,就麻烦了。
$ p- X$ s9 v) f$ h2 Y- \: r: p" f' ~7 P, K
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。
