【重點詞彙】
1. live up to
重回17歲的Mike再次重現了20年前的場景：放棄了他的籃球人生在現場拋下籃球向懷孕的女友Scarlet求婚。當場景重現，Mike的耳邊聽到了當初靈魂導師的話：“你是一個高中明星，卻辜負了你的籃球才能。你到底在做什麼？” “live up to”意爲“不辜負”。
2. traveling
意爲“帶球走步”。Mike又再次放棄他的籃球，去追Scarlet。認清了他的人生最重要的是他的妻子和孩子，是他的家庭。當他帶球走步後，把籃球遞給他的孩子Alex，Alex會延續他的籃球人生。
3. in a ... mood
Mike這段對Scarlet的深情的話講出了他對他的妻子的愛在這幾天重回17歲時與日俱增，而且以後不會再改變。他檢討說：“我知道我在前20年脾氣很壞。”“in a ... mood”意爲"處於什麼……心情"。
4. make it up to sb.
本意爲"彌補……"， Mike在檢討自己過後，向Scarlet保證：“我向你發誓，我會用我的下半生來彌補你。”這段話真的很煽情哦，他告訴我們要珍惜眼前人。
