87.A Coach and His Players
I was the new coach of a Little League baseball team and had not yet learned the names of my players. At our first game, I called each boy by the number on his uniform. When I yelled,"Number5, your time to bat, " Jeff Smith came to the plate to hit. When I called for "Number 7", Steve Heinz jumped up. Then I asked for "Number 1", and no one emerged from the dugout. Again I called for Number 1. Still no one.
As the umpire looked on, annoyed at this delay of the game, I shouted, "Who is Number 1?"
That's when the whole team yelled, "We are, Coach! We are!
Notes:
(1) coach n.教練
(2) baseball n.棒球
(3) bat v.（用棒）擊
(4) plate n.（棒球）本壘
(5) emerge v.出現
(6) dugout n.隱蔽壕
(7) umpire n.裁判員
Exercises:
請回答下列問題：
① Why didn't the coach know the names of his players?
② How did the coach call the boys since he didn't know their names?
③ Who was number five?
④ Why did the coach get annoyed?
⑤ How did the players interpret "Number I"?
87.教練與他的隊員
我初到一小團體棒球隊作教練，還不知道隊員的名字。在第一次比賽中，我按照每一名隊員球衣的號數來指揮。當我大聲喊到：“5號，你該擊球了。”杰夫·史密斯到本壘擊球。當我叫到“7號”時，史迪夫·漢斯就跳起來。然后我叫到“1號”，卻沒人從隱蔽壕里跳出來。我又叫了一遍1號。還是沒人跳出來。
因為裁判在旁觀看，我很生氣這支球隊的懶散，大聲吼道：“誰是1號（第一）？”
這時全體隊員大喊道；“是我們，教練！我們是！”
練習參考答案：
① Because he was the new coach.
② He called each boy by the number on his uniform.
③ Jeff Smith.
④ Because no one responded to his call, and the umpire looked on.
⑤ The best team.
