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.教练
(2) baseball n.棒球
(3) bat v.（用棒）击
(4) plate n.（棒球）本垒
(5) emerge v.出现
(6) dugout n.隐蔽壕
(7) umpire n.裁判员
Exercises:
请回答下列问题：
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.教练与他的队员
我初到一小团体棒球队作教练，还不知道队员的名字。在第一次比赛中，我按照每一名队员球衣的号数来指挥。当我大声喊到：“5号，你该击球了。”杰夫·史密斯到本垒击球。当我叫到“7号”时，史迪夫·汉斯就跳起来。然后我叫到“1号”，却没人从隐蔽壕里跳出来。我又叫了一遍1号。还是没人跳出来。
因为裁判在旁观看，我很生气这支球队的懒散，大声吼道：“谁是1号（第一）？”
这时全体队员大喊道；“是我们，教练！我们是！”
练习参考答案：
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.
