There are already a lot of people in China who like to play. This way, there will be even more. Don't just think of the big cities. Even little out-of-the-way villages all have NBA fans. So now the Chinese element in the NBA is bigger all the time. It's not just players, there are also a lot of Chinese companies that buy ads at the games. And now there are a lot of big stars who have become endorsers for Chinese products.

没错，为了让自己的公式和牛顿的公式一致，因此爱因斯坦开始着手研究一个新的理论，而解答就是广义相对论，该理论预测了大质量的物体会扭曲周遭的空间，造成附近的物体朝它“坠落”，也就是说，爱因斯坦发现空间是"弧形"的，那也表示即便是光，也会受到重力牵引的影响。

That's right. In order to make his own theory fit with that of Newton's, Einstein began to research a new theory, and the answer to this was the theory of general relativity. This theory predicted that objects with large masses would distort the space surrounding them, making the objects nearby "fall" towards them. That is to say, Einstein discovered that space is curved, which means that even light is affected by gravity.

是的，不仅如此，另一个结论是强大的引力可以造成时间变慢，因此广义相对论最有意思的一面是预测了黑洞的存在，这种密度极高的物体由于引力极强，即便是光落入其中也无法逃脱。

Yes, and that's not all. Another conclusion was that strong gravitational pull can make time slow. Therefore, one of the interesting aspects of the theory of general relativity is that it predicted the existence of black holes. Even light which falls on these incredibly dense objects cannot escape because of the extremely strong gravitational pull.

那可了不起了，配角奖项部分，女配角比较没有悬念，男配角就比较难预测，几乎大家都有机会。

That's really something, eh? As to the supporting role categories, the best supporting actress category hasn't got as much suspense around it, whereas the best supporting actor is harder to predict, almost everyone has an opportunity.

哈，我并不想说服你相信这些神奇的预测。不过我倒是真的很欣赏你这种不向命运低头的勇气。怎么说呢，我们的确无法用科学来解释某一些事情，所以我宁愿相信冥冥中确实有其他力量的存在。所以，只要不是盲目崇拜和完全依赖算命就好了。

Hey, I'm really not trying to persuade you to believe in these kinds of magical predictions. On the other hand, I really admire your courage in refusing to defer to fate. How can I put this....There are really some things we can't use science to understand, so I'd rather believe there is some kind of unseen power behind all the mysteries. As long as you're not talking about blind worship and totally relying on fortune telling, I'm OK with it.

没错。我也觉得最重要的是要以正确的态度来对待这些所谓的命运预测。其实无聊的时候，我也会在网上测测我的名字吉利不吉利，下周有没有桃花运什么的，不过看过以后都是一笑而过，并没有真正地去在意过，纯属消遣而已。

Right. I also think that the most important thing is keeping the right attitude about prophecies. In fact, when I'm bored, I will also test my name on the Internet to see whether it’s a lucky name or not. Or I will check whether I will have the luck in having romantic encounters or not. But I don’t take them seriously after knowing these. It’s just for killing time.

你这就是心理暗示，好多人本来没有星座预测中那些性格特点，看了星座的解释，就会在心里暗示自己这样去做，反而模仿了星座。

This is just a psychological suggestion. Many people don't have the personality traits that the zodiac predicts. When they see the zodiac's explanation, they then suggest to themselves that that is what they do, and then end up copying the sign's description..

是啊。我始终觉得股市瞬息万变，一般人难以预测。上次我妈投资的一支股票就跌停板了，让我们都跟着她郁闷了好几天。

Yeah. I always feel that the stock market can change a lot in the wink of an eye. It's generally really hard for people to predict. Last time, a stock my mom invested in fell to rock bottom. We were all depressed with her for many days.

投资家。我是不奢望的了。我每天看到电视报纸上一篇又一篇的股评都很头痛，尽管他们评论的内容都各不相同，但真正能预测准确的真是太少了。

I don't have any crazy hopes for becoming an investor. Every day when I see the stock evaluations on TV, one after the other, I get a headache. Even though the things they comment on have nothing in comment with each other, there aren't many who can really make accurate predictions.
