Kevin finished his homework in the library after school and hurried out. He hoped there were still enough guys around for a good game of basketball.

放学后，凯文在图书馆写完作业就匆匆走了出来。 他希望还能凑够人好好打一场篮球。

Kevin turned the corner toward the schoolyard. He could see some boys across the playground. They were all making noise and having fun. He was glad they were still there.

凯文转过拐角，朝校园操场走去。 他能看见操场对面有几个男孩。 大家都吵吵闹闹的，玩得特别开心。 他很高兴他们还没走。

As Kevin came closer to the boys, he could sense that something was wrong. The boys were grouped closely together, and their cheers sounded more like teasing.

凯文走近那几个男孩时， 感觉到有点不对劲。 男孩们紧紧凑成一团， 他们的欢呼声听着更像是捉弄人的哄笑。

When Kevin reached the others, he could see what was going on. The group was throwing a baseball cap back and forth. They were playing keep away from one boy in the middle. His name was Joey, and he was deaf.

凯文走到那群人旁边时，才看清到底发生了什么。 这群人正来回扔一顶棒球帽。 他们在玩“躲猫猫”游戏，故意不让站在中间的男孩拿到帽子。 那个男孩叫乔伊，是个听障孩子。

What's the matter, Joey? they teased. Poor little Joey wants his cap back? They laughed as they tossed the cap from one boy to the next. Joey ran and jumped in between them, but he couldn't catch his cap.

“怎么啦，乔伊？”他们捉弄地喊道。 “可怜的小乔伊想要回自己的帽子对不对？” 他们一边笑，一边把帽子在几个人手里扔来扔去。 乔伊在他们中间跑着跳着，可怎么也够不到自己的帽子。
