Eyeglass Tips——眼鏡貼士

Jim, my 40-something husband, was playing basketball with friends his age. "Pretty soon," said one of his teammates, "we'll have to count it as a basket if the ball just hits the rim."

"Yeah," Jim agreed. "It's scary when you have to look through the bottom part of your bifocals to shoot layups and the top part on jump shots."

【中文譯文】

我那四十多歲的丈夫Jim正跟一些年齡差不多的朋友打籃球。“用不了多久”，他的一個隊友說，“我們就得把碰到藍框的球也算進球了”。

“可不是嗎” Jim 表示同意。“這真讓人害怕，當你上籃時得從遠近視兩用眼鏡的底部往外看，而跳投時又得換成從頂部看過去”。
