如龙6遥人的父亲:故事英文版

1、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!

　　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！”教练与他的队员

　　2、The 4th of July is one of the most loved holidays of the year. Because the weather is usually nice in July, people love to get outside and do fun things like camp, swim, boat, fish and barbecue. Picnics are one of the most common ways to celebrate - followed, of course, by fireworks when the sun goes down and it gets dark.
　　Anna and Beth recently discussed their plans for the 4th of July weekend. Listen in to their conversation to hear what they had to say.
　　美国独立纪念日是一年之中最受美国人欢迎的节日之一。进入七月份气候怡人，人们乐于到室外做一些象跑步，游泳，划船，垂钓和野餐等有趣的活动。野餐是最平常的庆祝方式，当然，随太阳落山，天逐渐黑下来就会燃放烟火以示庆祝。

　　Beth: So Anna, do you have any plans for July 4th?
　　Anna: Yeah, I\'m going up to, um, Anacortes, Washington, just off of Seattle, with some friends.
　　Beth: That sounds fun. What are you going to do there?
　　Anna: We are going to camp, old fashioned style with, um, a big fire and roast marshmallows. And then the next day we\'re going to go sea kayaking, which I\'ve never done.
　　Beth: Oh, that must be amazing. I bet it\'ll be just beautiful.
　　Anna: Have you ever sea kayaked?
　　Beth: I\'ve wanted to go up to the San Juans, but I haven\'t had an opportunity to.
　　Anna: Yeah, I haven\'t and I\'m kind of worried after rowing all day that I might get tired, but I think the views will be worth it.
　　Beth: Oh, you\'ll do great. Do you think it\'s going to be crowded since it is a holiday weekend.
　　Anna: Oh, I\'m sure it will but, at the campsite you have to reserve a spot, so I don\'t think you can get any more people than is already a full campground. But, that\'s part of 4th of July I think, just a lot of people running around, kids and fireworks and watermelon
