American sports English:nose bleed section

P:Thanks for taking Marc and me to this baseball game, Yang Cheng.

M:Yeah. Do we have good seats?

Y:The best! 保证是最好的座位!

P:Let me see. What? Oh come on, we're sitting way up high in the nose bleed section???

Y:Nose bleed section? 谁的鼻子流血了?

M:That's just a joke. It means that the seats are so high up that it's like you're on top of a mountain, and your nose starts bleeding because the air is so thin.

Y:这个nose bleed section是说位子太远，好像在山顶上，空气稀薄，所以要流鼻血。That's a bad joke. Patrick.

M:Actually, I think what Yang Chen did makes a lot of sense. Sitting in the nose bleed section is better than having your nose bleed because it was hit by a ball.

Y:Thank you, Marc. See, I also brought my bicycle helmet to protect myself.

P:Oh come on, don't be so scared. Half the fun of going to a big league game is trying to catch fly balls.

Y:Big league? 大联盟不是叫 Major Leagues吗?

P:You can say both. Actually those phrases are useful outside of baseball, too.

Y:Oh no, not another English lesson.

P:Say there is a news reporter working for a small local paper in Ohio. You could say that he moved up to the big leagues when he got a job at the New York Times.

Y:Oh 如果我也在纽约时报找到工作，那我就是moved up to the big leagues。

P:Exactly. Say, when you're a big leagues reporter, will you buy us better tickets?

Y:No. But I would do this...

P:You punched me again?

M:Oh, Patrick, you nose is really bleeding...

A:原来看比赛时特靠后，在高处的座位叫nose bleed section. 我每次都坐那！

B:So do I! And I don't really mind because I can still enjoy the game even though I'm sitting far away from the field.

A:就是! 而且现在都有大屏幕，后排一样看得清楚! 可就是，座位太高，往下看的时候有点头晕。

B:So for you, it's not only the nose bleed section, but the head spin section too!

A:Indeed! 以后有钱了，就买贵一些的票，这样头也不晕了，鼻血也不流了! 哎，节目时间差不多了。这次的撰稿人是晓北，编辑是蔚然。同学们，我们下次的美语训练班再见!

B:Bye!
