Nikky:I'm back
Brian:what's up?
Nikky:no,i just had to get the dumpster out to the curb(把垃圾放到门边) so they will empty it tomorrow morning(明早垃圾工人清空)
Brian:I thought u were off line(我还以为你下线了呢.注:聊天时经常可以遇到的情况)
Nikky:no, I am still here, and the basketball, that's what my ex-boyfriend told me too
Brian:and u do like it, right? What kind of part u are in a basketball game?(你打什么位置呀)
Nikky:while, it depends, not the formal one, we often have 6 people, 3 versus 3, that's a game we normally play, and just like the beach volleyball(沙滩排球) u can see in the screening(荧屏,美国人特指"电视").
Brian:i see, so who is the one that u or the ordinary Americas admire most in Basketball(你或者普通美国人最崇敬的篮球运动员是谁).
Nikky:that's a stupid question
Brian:it is.
Nikky:i have no idea about that, what u expect me to say, Michael Jordan? I just like him, and 'admire' might not be a proper word on him , he just did sth he liked and never gave up(他只是做了他喜欢做的事情并且从不放弃。注:一个普通美国人对乔丹的典型评价), that's sort of America way (这是美国人做事的方式).
Brian:America characteristic?
Nikky:yeah, America characteristic, everybody in the world think that he just needn't to be back, he get almost everything he can get through the game, there is just no need for he to do that, to do this stupid thing.
Brian:u mean the most valued player(最有价值球员称号) in NBA
Nikky:more than that, he is now more than just a basketball player(他不仅仅是一个篮球运动员), he played a central role in a way that the sort of world need him, if he went away, NBA is not what it used to be(他一走,NBA就不是以前意义上的NBA了), that's it, when a guy reached that level of his field, i guess, it's just not a good thing for the NBA , for the whole America .
Brian:i've heard that he comes back to play for Wizards(湖人队) for free, right?
Nikky:well, money is not his priority(钱不是他首要的东西), he wants to be defeated, for the past 20 years, he never been beat, probably he just wants to find a different way in his inner(内心深处<精简地道的用法>).
Brian的小结:可以听听一个美国人对于我们中国人都比较熟悉的另外一个美国人的评价
He comes back to play for Wizard for free(他回来了,为湖人对免费效力)
Our priority right now is to make sure she is safe(我们的首要任务是要确定她现在是否安全)
