A: Hey, Nina. Fancy meeting you here. Do you come to the basketball court often?
嗨，妮娜，想不到在这里遇见你，你常来这个篮球场吗？

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，我有空就打打篮球，这是很好的运动，而且让我在外面有自己的时间。

A: Do you want to play some one-on-one?
你要不要来一场一对一的比赛？

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

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.
我可不这么认为。我还是小不点的时候就在打篮球了，我睡着也可以投进三分球。

B: We'll see.
走着瞧吧。

A: Okay, let's start.
好，咱们开始吧。

B: Two points to me...and another two-pointer...and another. Haha! You threw an air ball.
我得两分，再来一个。两分球又一个。哈，你投了一个篮外空心球。

A: Man, you're quick. And where did you learn to Slam-dunk like that?
天啊，你好利落，你从哪儿学会这样灌篮的？
