【重点词汇】

1. live up to

重回17岁的Mike再次重现了20年前的场景：放弃了他的篮球人生在现场抛下篮球向怀孕的女友Scarlet求婚。当场景重现，Mike的耳边听到了当初灵魂导师的话：“你是一个高中明星，却辜负了你的篮球才能。你到底在做什么？” “live up to”意为“不辜负”。

2. traveling

意为“带球走步”。Mike又再次放弃他的篮球，去追Scarlet。认清了他的人生最重要的是他的妻子和孩子，是他的家庭。当他带球走步后，把篮球递给他的孩子Alex，Alex会延续他的篮球人生。

3. in a ... mood

Mike这段对Scarlet的深情的话讲出了他对他的妻子的爱在这几天重回17岁时与日俱增，而且以后不会再改变。他检讨说：“我知道我在前20年脾气很坏。”“in a ... mood”意为"处于什么……心情"。

4. make it up to sb.

本意为"弥补……"， Mike在检讨自己过后，向Scarlet保证：“我向你发誓，我会用我的下半生来弥补你。”这段话真的很煽情哦，他告诉我们要珍惜眼前人。
