Confetti：五彩紙屑

　　2004年6月16日，NBA本賽季盟主產生。底特律活塞隊主場以100-87掀翻洛杉磯湖人隊，自1990年之后再圓總冠軍之夢。

　　外電有這樣的報道：

　　As the final buzzer sounded and confetti began dropping, Pistons coach Larry Brown received an affectionate handshake and smile at midcourt from Lakers coach Phil Jackson and a hug from Kobe Bryant.

　　句中的confetti是“（婚禮、狂歡節中拋撒的）五彩紙屑”的意思。如：When they came out of the church, the bride and groom were showered with confetti.（新郎新娘走出教堂時，身上被撒滿了五彩紙屑。）
