CHAPTER 1 TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME It's baseball season. The sky is filled with little white balls, and the air with the swing of bats. All of my friends are pulling out their baseball gloves and pounding the pockets. I look for my mitt. It's not under my dresser. It's not under my bed. It's not in the refrigerator. I finally find it in the corner of the garage. It's as stiff as a board. It's so old—it's prehistoric! It's a fossil. I feel like an archaeologist finding a dinosaur bone. I'd be

第一章带我出去看球赛这是棒球季。 天空中充满了小白球，空气中充满了球拍的摆动。 我所有的朋友都拿出棒球手套，捶着口袋。 我找我的手套。它不在我的梳妆台下面。 它不在我的床底下。它不在冰箱里。 我终于在车库的角落里找到了它。 它像木板一样硬。它太古老了——它是史前的！这是一块化石。 我感觉就像考古学家发现了恐龙骨头。 我将

better off using a paper plate or a pillow. But I put lots of oil on it and try to fold it around a ball. No way, it doesn't budge. OUCH!

最好使用纸盘或枕头。 但我在上面涂了很多油，试着把它折叠成一个球。 不可能，它不动。哎哟!

Little League tryouts are this Saturday. Freddy's got it made. He's the only one who wants to be catcher. Eric's got it easy... his dad's the coach. Derek's a slugger—he hit the only home run last year. Penny and Doris will make the team because they're girls. And Randy just wants to keep score and figure out everybody's statistics. Last year, my batting average was zero. I walked twice, got hit by a pitch, and struck out ten times.

少年棒球联盟选拔赛在这周六举行。 弗雷迪做到了。他是唯一想当接球手的人。 埃里克做得很轻松……他爸爸是教练。 德瑞克是个强击手，他去年打出了唯一的全垒打。 佩妮和多丽丝会入选，因为她们是女孩。 而兰迪只想记分，算出每个人的数据。 去年，我的击球率是零。 我保送了两次，被一个球击中，三振出局了十次。

GIVE ME A SLIDER. DAD, I WANT TO BE THE STAR. I LOVE THE SOUND OF THE CRACK OF THE BAT. WE'RE GIRLS. CHANGE BATS. I'D BETTER START JOGGING.

给我一个滑块。爸爸，我想当明星。 我喜欢蝙蝠的噼啪声。 我们的女孩。改变蝙蝠。我最好开始慢跑。

The only reason I played at all was they needed someone to stand in right field. They hoped no one would hit the ball out there. I hoped no one would, too. You're out there all by yourself. You can hardly see the game. It gets lonely.

我参加比赛的唯一原因是他们需要有人站在右外野。 他们希望没有人会在那里击球。 我也希望没有人会这么做。 你一个人在外面。 你几乎看不到比赛。 它会变得孤独。
