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."

【中文译文】

我那四十多岁的丈夫Jim正跟一些年龄差不多的朋友打篮球。“用不了多久”，他的一个队友说，“我们就得把碰到蓝框的球也算进球了”。

“可不是吗” Jim 表示同意。“这真让人害怕，当你上篮时得从远近视两用眼镜的底部往外看，而跳投时又得换成从顶部看过去”。
