Soccer Sam

Sucker Sam.

小调皮萨姆。

The plane from Mexico was landing. Sam stood at the airport window and watched. He was going to meet his cousin Marco for the first time.

从墨西哥飞来的飞机正在降落，萨姆站在机场窗边望着，他马上就要第一次见到表哥马可了。

Soon, a boy, Sam's size, came through the door. Sam's mother hugged him. Marco, this is Sam. She said slowly, Sam, this is Marco. Hi, said Sam. Suddenly, he felt shy. Hula, said Marco softly.

没过多久，一个和萨姆个子差不多的男孩从出口走了出来。 萨姆的妈妈上前拥抱了他。 马可，这是萨姆。 她又慢腾腾地说：萨姆，这是马可。 “嗨。”萨姆打招呼道。 他忽然觉得有点害羞。 “你好呀。”马可轻声说。

In the car, Marco was very quiet. So was Sam. We are happy you have come to live with us for a year. Said Sam's mother. See? Said Marco. But he didn't look happy. He just looked out of the window. You like sports? Asked Sam. Sam loved sports. He was very good at them too. Marco shrugged.

车上马可安安静静的，萨姆也一样。 我们可开心你能来和我们住一年啦。 萨姆的妈妈说道。 对吧？ 马可应了一声，可他看起来并不开心，只是一直望着窗外。 你喜欢运动吗？ 萨姆问道。 萨姆超爱运动，而且他也很擅长各类运动。 马可耸了耸肩。

He doesn't speak much English, said Sam's mother. When they got home, she said, take Marco out to play, Sam. Introduce him to your friends. What if he doesn't understand what we say? Asked Sam. Speak slowly, said his mom. He will learn. Sam and Marco went outside. At the end of the street, kids were shooting basket. Sam's friend Rosie chose him the ball. Sam aimed and fired. The ball still threw the rim.

他不太会说英语哦。萨姆的妈妈说道。 到家之后，她吩咐萨姆：带马可出去玩玩吧。 把他介绍给你的朋友们认识。 要是他听不懂我们说的话怎么办呀？ 萨姆问道。 说慢一点就好啦。妈妈说道。 他慢慢会学会的。 萨姆和马可走到了屋外。 街尾那里有一群小孩正在打篮球。 萨姆的朋友罗西挑了个球递给他。 萨姆瞄准后投出了球。 球擦着篮筐边飞了出去。
