字號:

火箭隊球星姚明上周剛簽下了一分為期5年價值7500萬美元的合同。他的收入位居福布斯雜志公布的中國名人榜第一名,這也是他連續(xù)第二年贏得第一的位置。請看報道:
    Yao Ming topped Forbes Magazine's list of Chinese celebrities again.
    The Houston Rockets' star signed a five-year, $75 million contract last week, and earned the ranking for the second straight year, the magazine's Chinese version reported on its Web site.
    The 7-foot-6 center and three-time NBA All-Star has one year left on his rookie contract, which will pay him more than $5.5 million next season.
    Forbes put Yao's 2004 income at $18.5 million, about 25 percent higher than last year.
    文中的rookie表示a person who is new to an organization or an activity,即"新手"。例如:These rookie cops don't know anything yet.(這些新警察什么都還不懂。)
