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

M: Do we have good seats?

Y: 保證是最好的座位!

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

Y: Nose bleed section? 誰(shuí)的鼻子流血了? Marc, 你流鼻血了嗎?

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: 這個(gè)nose bleed section是說(shuō)位子太遠(yuǎn)，好像在山頂上，空氣稀薄，所以要流鼻血。 那要是看音樂(lè)會(huì)，我們的座位又高又遠(yuǎn)，那是不是可以說(shuō): we are sitting in the nose bleed section.

P: Oh yes. Concerts, sporting events, if you have to sit in a high location, you can call it the nose bleed section.

M: Actually, sitting in the nose bleed section is better than having your nose bleed because it was hit by a ball.

Y: See, Marc is more sensible than you are.

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? 大聯(lián)盟不是叫Major Leagues嗎?

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. Say, when you're a big leagues reporter, could you buy us some better tickets?

Y: No. But I would do this.....(punching Patrick)

P: You punched me again?

M: Oh, Patrick, I think you nose is actually bleeding.....
