教练与他的队员
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！”
