May: Wow, this is drop-dead gorgeous.
Gucci: So no more regret now?
May: Don't remind me of that. This would be the last time I cut any classes for a basketball game.
Gucci: Come on. Don't be so hard on yourself. Enjoy your life.
May: I just can't help it. Oh, look at Clive, he is really a big hit. They are definitely gonna win.
Gucci: It's only seven minutes into the game, too early to cheer up.
May: Come on, 18 points already, they are never gonna catch up.
Gucci: Who knows! It's a long game. Look! That was a really nice shot!
May: Thay are coming back to narrow the gap.
Gucci: Wait, that guy, I know him. He is just a bench warmer.
May: A secret weapon. They'd better set up the defense now.
Gucci: Clive is ready to explode. Keep your eyes open.
May: Oh, man! I can't believe it. A slam dunk!
Gucci: Good that he resembled his old, quick self.
聽看學阿美：哇噻，（比賽）真是太精彩了！
古奇：那麼現在不再後悔了吧？
阿美：別提醒我這個。這會是我最後一次爲籃球比賽而逃課。
古奇：拜託。別這麼爲難自己。要享受人生啊！
阿美：我就是忍不住嘛。哦，看克萊夫，他真是耀眼啊！他們一定會贏的。
古奇：纔剛剛開場7分鐘，要高興現在還太早。
阿美：拜託，已經領先18分了，對方不可能趕超了啊。
古奇：誰知道呢？比賽還長着呢。看，剛纔的進球真漂亮！
阿美：對方在拉進比分。
古奇：等等，那個男生，我認得他。他只是一個“板凳”。
阿美：一個祕密武器哦。（克萊夫）他們現在最好加強防守了。
古奇：克萊夫要爆發了。把你的眼睛睜大了。
阿美：哦，好傢伙。我真難以相信。灌籃了。
古奇：真好，他總算恢復動作飛快的他了。
經典背誦 RecitationMay: I'm a good girl in people's eyes. But my best friend Gucci always reminds me to give myself a break, saying “Don't be too hard on yourself.” She just trys to show me the right way to enjoy a better life. Once we cut classes for a basketball game. I didn't regret about what I did because it was really a terrific game.
生詞小結drop-dead adv. 非常
gorgeous adj. 極好的
explode vi. 爆發
doubt n. 懷疑
cheer up 高興起來
bench warmer 候補球員
defense n. 防守
slam dunk 灌籃
resemble vt. 恢復
註釋bench warmer:
bench 是長凳的意思，warmer的意思是取暖器，打球的時候有一部分技術比較弱的球員得不到上場的機會而要坐在場外長凳上，所以候補球員被稱爲bench warmer。
