Anne: I bet they do a good job of helping you slam-dunk.
Mike: With these, I can almost touch the rim.
Anne: You don't look like you play a lot of basketball, though.
Mike: Basketball is a state of mind, not just a sport.
Anne: But if you can't play, what's the use of buying the shoes?
Mike: I like Jordan. I even named myself after him.
Anne: Well, I guess you just can't help wanting “to be like Mike.”

安：我猜这双鞋对灌篮很有帮助。
麦克：有了这双鞋，我几乎可以摸到篮框了。
安：不过你看来不像常常打球。
麦克：篮球是一种心灵状态，并不只是运动而已。
安：不过如果你不会打球，买这些鞋有什么用处？
麦克：我喜欢乔丹。我甚至还以他为名。
安：呃，我猜你就是忍不住想成为‘麦克第二’吧。
重点解说：
★ slam-dunk (v.) 灌篮
★ rim (n.) （篮球的）篮框，（圆形物的）边缘
★ state of mind 心境
★ name after... 以…为名
★ can't help... 忍不住，无法克制
★ to be like Mike 想成为麦克第二。这句话是之前美国一个麦片广告的广告词，跟小朋友说多吃麦片就可以长高长壮，长大后成为麦克乔丹第二
