在加拿大打球时,一位 NBA 球员曾经低声轻笑,带着难以置信的神情跟我说:“我们必须和其他人一样在海关排队等候。”
An NBA player once said to me, with a bemused chuckle of disbelief, that when playing in Canada—get this—"We have to wait in the same customs line as everybody else."
我看到人们排着电话和电脑的长队,很惊讶我的儿子在2004年的时候能如此耐心地排队等着和我们联系。
I see the lines for phones and computers and marvel that my son would be so patient to wait in a line like that to connect with us when he was here in 2004.
我们不确定是否这样做有效:你的所选在排队了几天以后通过邮件得到了这部电影。
We weren't sure whether a model in which you managed your selections by means of a queue and got a movie in the mail a few days later would catch on.

也询问了在我身后排队的同学,我们整个学期都在学生中做调查,我们问他们,应该如何跟下一届的全体同学沟通。
Funny story, I met him because at MIT they signed us all up for chest x-rays alphabetically-- that's the way MIT does things, an orderly way.
有趣的是,我在MIT遇到他是因为,我们按姓氏字母顺序,排队去照胸透,MIT做事总是用这种有条理的方式
Shiller and Siegel are next to each other in the alphabet, so I was standing in line with him for an x-ray and I got to talking with him and I've known him ever since.
希勒和西格尔按字母顺序是相邻的,所以我和他站在一起排队照X光,我们开始聊天,从此我就认识他了
