A: Hey, Nina. Fancy meeting you here. Do you come to the basketball court often?
嗨，妮娜，想不到在這裏遇見你，你常來這個籃球場嗎？

B: Yeah, I try to shoot some hoops whenever I can. It's good exercise and gives me some me time out of the house.
是啊，我有空就打打籃球，這是很好的運動，而且讓我在外面有自己的時間。

A: Do you want to play some one-on-one?
你要不要來一場一對一的比賽？

B: Sure, but I'm warning you. I may whip your ass.
當然好啊。但我警告你，我可能會把你打得落花流水。

A: I don't think so. I've been playing since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I can throw three-pointers in my sleep.
我可不這麼認爲。我還是小不點的時候就在打籃球了，我睡着也可以投進三分球。

B: We'll see.
走着瞧吧。

A: Okay, let's start.
好，咱們開始吧。

B: Two points to another another. Haha! You threw an air ball.
我得兩分，再來一個。兩分球又一個。哈，你投了一個籃外空心球。

A: Man, you're quick. And where did you learn to Slam-dunk like that?
天啊，你好利落，你從哪兒學會這樣灌籃的？

B: My dad is the basketball coach at South Central Community College. I literally grew up on a basketball court.
我爸爸是中南小區學院的籃球教練，我可是在籃球場上長大的。
