Michael和李华今天去看篮球比赛。球赛是在纽约大型室内体育馆[麦迪逊广场花园]举行,这场比赛是华盛顿的球队对纽约的球队。 Michael到中国去学过中文,他让李华跟他讲中文,以便练习听力。现在他们俩正在排队进入体育馆。今天他们在对话中会用choke和 money这两个词。" Q* n) {$ T0 u( V/ U9 E  \

M:No, no, no! They're not going to choke on their food! It's the same word with the same spelling, but it has a different meaning. Here, choke means to fail under pressure.
2 v6 ^/ n/ a9 Y( p+ b4 y* H/ Y9 Y1 \' E
