教練與他的隊(duì)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(tuán)體棒球隊(duì)作教練，還不知道隊(duì)員的名字。在第一次比賽中，我按照每一名隊(duì)員球衣的號(hào)數(shù)來指揮。當(dāng)我大聲喊到：“5號(hào)，你該擊球了。”杰夫?史密斯到本壘擊球。當(dāng)我叫到“7號(hào)”時(shí)，史迪夫?漢斯就跳起來。然后我叫到“1號(hào)”，卻沒人從隱蔽壕里跳出來。我又叫了一遍1號(hào)。還是沒人跳出來。
因?yàn)椴门性谂杂^看，我很生氣這支球隊(duì)的懶散，大聲吼道：“誰是1號(hào)（第一）？”
這時(shí)全體隊(duì)員大喊道：“是我們，教練！我們是！”
練習(xí)參考答案：
