教練與他的隊員
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！

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.
