Mr. Li AKA Mad Bomber

慧慧： （对观众）看过对地掷球的介绍，我想大多数人都会联想起小时候玩过的弹球。Hey Nathan, 听说下周末有一场地掷球比赛。

Nathan: Yea, I know.. Mr. Li, AKA the mad bomber is going to be there. He’s one of the best Bocce players in China.

慧慧： AKA the bomber? 你是说什么什么轰炸机？

Nathan: AKA stands for, “also known as” 。

慧慧: 噢，原来是also known as 的缩写。

Nathan: 对。So Mr. Li is also known as, or is nicknamed, “the bomber”，just like Shaq is AKA “the shark”

慧慧： 那看来我还真的得参加这场比赛，结识一下这位高手。

Nathan: Well, Huihui, we will rise to the occasion.

慧慧： rise to the occasion?

Nathan: Right. 全力以赴，Like Muhammad Ali, Schumacher, Gao Min! We will not lose!

Nathan appears and blows whistle, puts on coaching cap.

慧慧： Nathan, 不过是场友谊赛. It’s not a big deal.

Nathan: With that attitude you don’t stand a chance. You know the Mad Bomber said that women don’t make good Bocce players?

慧慧： 什么? 他要是这么说，咱们可得重新考虑考虑，地掷球可是男女老少皆宜的运动。他怎么能这么专断呢？

Nathan: Because of him many other women have dropped out of the tournament. I guess maybe that show s that he is right…

慧慧： No way! 我慧慧打小的弹球功夫，独步我们社区大院。今天我一定要让他知道，玩弹球可不是男人的专利。

Nathan: That’s the spirit! Now show me your game face.

慧慧： 什么 face?

Nathan: Your game face. The expression that will send fear into your opponent.

慧慧： okay, show my game face! You will be Mr. Li, AKA the big loser!

Nathan: Mr. Li says that women can’t play

慧慧： Mr. Li says that women can’t play

Nathan: So we’re really gonna make him pay!

慧慧： So we’re really gonna make him pay.

They slow down and Huihui looks tired

Nathan: What are you doing? Don’t start slacking off now.

慧慧： Huh, 故不上什么slack off了，跑了半天了，我得歇会儿了!

Nathan: Let me ask you a question Huihui. What happens if you slack off at school?

慧慧： slack off？是偷懒么？那上学偷懒肯定考试不及格吧。

Nathan: Precisely! If you stop trying hard or you “slack off” You won’t be as successful in the end. So do you want to slack off?

慧慧： No, I just…

Nathan: Good! On the double!

慧慧: On the double, 你是说咱们双人对付他。

Nathan：No, on the double means to hurry up.

慧慧: ah, 还是得指望我一个人呢… 别说on the double了，我都快on the four四脚爬了。

Nathan 扶慧慧离开画面……,

Nathan: okay, I think you are ready Huihui. Mi Zhang doesn’t stand a chance.

慧慧： Great I…wait, 我怎么记着是Mr. Li?

Nathan: Right…Mr. Li. AKA Mr. Zhang…aaa. AKA the Mad thrower..

慧慧： You lied to me!! Why Nathan, why?

Nathan: 我必须虚构一个对手，不然你怎么会有练习的动力呢？you know, Nothing worth doing is easy.

慧慧： 不错，有点难度的事儿才值得去做。 看来打你这个移动的目标要比静止的球难多了，还是值得是试一把的…

Nathan: Ah! Huihui… (turn around and run away)

慧慧： “faster, on the double!” ……
