JOHN: I will say it differently then. You know how Jordan is one of the great basketball players of all time. 约翰：那么我换个说法。你知道乔丹是篮坛的第一把交椅吧！
ANDREW: Yes, it is obvious. 安德鲁：很显然是。
JOHN: And if he plays next year, do you think he can do better? I mean, can he improve? 约翰：如果他继续打到明年，你认为他会打得更好吗？我是说他能进步吗？
ANDREW: No, I don't see how he can. He is already at the top.
安德鲁：我不认为还能更好，他已经在最巅峰了。
JOHN: Well, that's what I mean. If he continues, he can only do the same thing again, or he can start to go downhill. And why go downhill? Why not quit when one is at the top? 约翰：这就对了。如果他继续打，不是维持现状，就是开始走下坡。那为什么要走下坡呢？为什么不在顶尖状态下隐退呢？
ANDREW: Now I understand. You think Jordan made the right decision then. 安德鲁：我懂了，你认为乔丹做了明智的抉择。
JOHN: Sure. As we say in English: "Quit while you're ahead." 约翰：当然，就是英语说的"见好就收。"
