OK, I'll give you a lesson in popular economics. The SDR currencies basket originally included four currencies, the US dollar, the Euro, the British Pound and the yen. It was a new currency system that took root in the wake of the crisis in the Bretton Woods system after World War II.

对了，说到上赛季的比赛，我记忆犹新的还是西部半决赛，休斯敦火箭队和洛杉矶快船队的那一轮季后赛。

Yes, talking of the previous season, the Western Conference semifinals are still fresh in my memory, the postseason series of matches between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Clippers.

从表面上来看，里弗斯已经达到了恶心火箭队的目的了，但我一直认为他是被高估的一位教练，虽然他曾经带领波士顿凯尔特人队拿到一枚冠军戒指，但他也曾经两次在三比一大比分领先的情况下，被对手翻盘，这样的表现远远配不上冠军教练的美名。

From appearances it seems like Rivers is really out to get the Rockets, but I've always thought he was overestimated as a coach. Although he once led the Boston Celtics to win championship rings, it's been twice now that he has lost after starting with a 3-1 lead, that's far from the performance of a champion coach.

对对，最后一天在华盛顿，奥巴马在白宫接见了习近平夫妇一行，听说两国首脑会晤足足三小时。

Yes, yes, and the last day was in Washington. Obama received the delegation of President Xi and the First Lady at the White House and I heard the leaders of the two countries met for a full three hours.

直白型的会赤裸裸地用社会地位和阶层感来诱惑，就如同英国男装业的领头羊波尔顿服装公司宣称，他们家西装带给所有男人一种尊严

The straightforward type sedulously tempts by using social status and a sense of class, just as the British men's wear industry leader, Bolton Fashion Co. Ltd., claims that their men’s fashion line brings all men a measure of dignity.

这种尊严同时体现在对公司销售人员的要求上，销售人员必须举止得体、彬彬有礼，正如波尔顿著名的训练员工的备忘录里所说：既不要像收税官那样不苟言笑，也不能像算命先生一样油腔滑调……

zhèzhǒng zūnyán tóngshí tǐxiàn zài duì gōngsī xiāoshòu rényuán de yāoqiú shàng ，xiāoshòu rényuán bìxū jǔzhǐ détǐ 、bīnbīnyǒulǐ ，zhèngrú bōěrdùn zhùmíng de xùnliàn yuángōng de bèiwànglù lǐ suǒshuō ：jì bùyào xiàng shōushuìguān nàyàng bùgǒuyánxiào ，yě bùnéng xiàng suànmìngxiānsheng yīyàng yóuqiānghuádiào ……

This dignity is also reflected in the demands on the company’s sales staff. Each salesperson must behave well and be polite, as Bolton’s famous staff training memo says: “Don’t be as frightful as the tax collector, or as slippery as a fortune-teller."

当然啦，我还知道狭义相对论呢，那个标志性的公式，感觉和牛顿的万有引力定律有点关系。

Of course, I've even heard of the special theory of relativity, that iconic formula. I think it's got something to do with Newton's law of universal gravitation.

还算有点常识呀你，狭义相对论是爱因斯坦在广义相对论发现前十年制定的，当时已令人震惊地揭示了时间的流逝并非绝对，但与牛顿在1687年所阐述的经典引力定律，在许多方面都不一致。

hái suàn yǒudiǎnr chángshí ya nǐ ，xiáyì xiāngduìlùn shì Àiyīnsītǎn zài guǎngyì xiāngduìlùn fāxiàn qián shínián zhìdìng de ，dāngshí yǐ lìng rén zhènjīng de jiēshì le shíjiān de liúshì bìngfēi juéduì ，dàn yǔ Niúdùn zài 1687 nián suǒ chǎnshù de jīngdiǎn yǐnlì dìnglǜ ，zài xǔduō fāngmiàn dōu bù yīzhì 。

So you do have some general knowledge. Special relativity was defined by Einstein ten years before he came to the theory of general relativity. At that time, he'd already revealed to everyone's surprise that the flow of time was not absolute, but it was also not entirely the same as the classic laws of gravitation which he described in 1687, in many aspects.
