Robert: Dim use my old Reeboks, but I said I'll still be a good basketball player. 我还在用我的旧瑞巴克, 但是我说我也可以成为一个好球员.

Coach Malone: You are both right. Good shoes are comfortable and help you not to get hurt, but they won't make you a better player. And a great player would play great in any shoes. 你们都是对的. 好的鞋很舒适,而且可以帮助你不会受伤. 但是它不会让你成为一个更好的球员. 一个伟大的球员穿任何鞋都能打的很好.

Billy: So, who is right? We bet five dollars. Who wins? 那么谁是对的?我们赌了5美元,谁赢了?

Robert: Yeah, who wins? 是啊,谁赢了?

Coach Malone: Nobody wins. You are both partially right and you are both partially wrong. Now get ready for practice. Robert, you practice lay ups. Billy, you practice free throws. And don't worry, both of your shoes are fine. If I had shoes that good when I was young, I would have been a much better player. 没人赢. 你们俩都很正确,同时你们俩都错了. 现在准备训练. 罗勃特,你练习仰卧起坐. 比利,你练习空手传球. 不用担心,你们俩的鞋都很好. 如果我小时侯能有一双好鞋的话, 我会成为一个更好的球员.

Billy: See, I was right. Give me my five dollars. 瞧,我是对的吧!给我5美元.
