10 Our Secret Weapon

Chapter 10 Our Secret Weapon It was Andrea Young!!! Little Miss Perfect I-Know-Everything-and-You-Don't walked into our locker room. And she was wearing a football uniform! "There's a girl in the locker room!" shouted Neil the nude kid. "Run for your lives!" "Coach Hyatt is a girl, too, dumbhead," I told Neil. "Oh, right." "Hi, Arlo!" Andrea said. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. "Coach Hyatt asked me to join the team because you boys are so lame," she told me. "I wasn't allowed to wear my jewelry, so I accessorized my helmet with stickers. Do you like it?"

第十章我们的秘密武器是安德里亚·杨！！我无所不知的完美小姐走进了我们的更衣室。 她穿着足球服！“更衣室里有个女孩！”裸体男孩尼尔喊道。 “快逃命！”“海厄特教练也是个女孩，笨蛋，”我告诉尼尔。 “噢,对的。”“嗨,奥尔罗!”安德里亚说。 “你在这儿干什么？”我问她。 “凯亚特教练让我加入球队，因为你们这些男孩太差劲了，”她告诉我。 “我不允许戴首饰，所以我在头盔上贴了贴纸。 你喜欢吗？”

"No," I told her, "and girls don't play football." "I've been watching Andrea on the sideline," Coach Hyatt told us. "I think she can help us. She's fast. She's strong. She's smart." "She's annoying," I added. "Do you want to win, A.J.?" Coach Hyatt asked. "Or do you just want to complain?" "Can I do both?" I asked.

“不，”我告诉她，“女孩子不踢足球。” “我一直在观察安德里亚在场边的表现，”凯悦教练告诉我们。 “我想她能帮助我们。她是快。 她很坚强。她的聪明。” “她很烦人，”我补充道。 “你想赢吗，aj ?”凯悦教练问。 “还是你只是想抱怨？”“我能两样都做吗？”我问。

Coach Hyatt paced the locker room again. "Do you ragamuffins know what I used to have when I was your age?" asked the coach. "A log cabin?" I guessed. "No, a hamster," Coach Hyatt said. "His name was Chip. I loved that hamster. And one day Chip got run over by a bulldozer. Poor little fella. He didn't have a chance. Chip was flattened; and after the bulldozer ran over him, he was about the size of a living-room rug." Everybody started sniffling because we were imagining in our heads a hamster getting run over by a bulldozer. "When you kids go out on the field for the second half," the coach continued, "don't think about winning this game for me. Don't think about winning this game

海亚特教练又在更衣室里踱来踱去。 “你们这些破烂鬼知道我像你们这么大的时候吃什么吗？”教练问。 “小木屋？”我猜到了。“不，是一只仓鼠，”凯悦教练说。 他的名字叫奇普。我喜欢那只仓鼠。 有一天奇普被推土机碾了。 可怜的小家伙。他没有机会。 Chip被压扁了；推土机碾过他之后，他就只有客厅地毯那么大了。” 每个人都开始抽泣，因为我们在脑海中想象着一只仓鼠被推土机碾过。 “当你们这些孩子下半场上场时，”教练继续说道，“不要想着为我赢得这场比赛。 不要想着赢得这场比赛

for your parents. Think about Chip, that poor little hamster. Let's go out there and win this one… for the Chipper!" I wasn't sure why we should play any better just because Coach Hyatt's hamster got run over by a bulldozer. But it almost didn't matter what she said, because we all started jumping up and down and chanting "Chipper! Chipper! Chipper!" as we ran out of the locker room to start the second half of the game.

给你的父母。想想奇普，那只可怜的小仓鼠。 让我们去赢得这场比赛吧……为了奇珀队！”我不知道为什么我们要打得更好就因为海亚特教练的仓鼠被推土机碾了。 但她说什么几乎都不重要了，因为我们都开始跳上跳下，高喊着“爽快！”爽朗的!我们跑出更衣室，开始下半场的比赛。
