Do you have a favorite letter? The C. A lot of starting-out players are afraid of C's because they don't make any two-letter words.
你有最喜歡的字母嗎？C。很多新手都害怕C這樣的字母。因為他們構不成任何兩個字母的單詞。
But I did a survey of the dictionary and found that the C starts more words than any other letter in the alphabet except S.
但是我研究了一下字典，我發現除了字母S外，以C開頭的單詞比其它任何字母都要多。
It also combines well with H, L, R, and S and ends a lot of adjectival words.
C和H、L、S組成的單詞很多，而且C是很多形容詞的結尾。
So it's massively powerful. Wait, you did a "survey" of the dictionary? How many words do you know?
所以它非常強大。等一下，你“研究”了一下字典？你知道多少單詞？
Probably around 120,000. Were you always good at Scrabble? Well, I was beating my mother regularly when I was eight.
大概12萬個。你一直都擅長拼字游戲嗎？我八歲的時候經常贏我的母親。
Your older brother, Larry Sherman, also plays. Are you the Serena and Venus Williams of the Scrabble world?
你的哥哥拉里·謝爾曼也玩這個游戲。你們是拼字游戲世界的大小威廉姆斯嗎？
He's not as close to me as Venus is to Serena. We're more like the McEnroe brothers. We're usually in the same division, but he's on the lower end.
他和我的水平差距要比塞雷娜與維納斯的差距要大。我們更像是麥肯羅兄弟。我們經常在一個級別中，但是他水平要低一些。
When did you realize you were going to win the championship? Not until the very last draw.
你什么時候意識到你要奪得冠軍了？知道最好一次抽簽。
I had four tiles left, and I took the last three tiles out of the bag: two blanks and an S.
我還剩下4塊，我從袋子里拿出了最后3塊：兩個空格和一個S。
It allowed me to bingo out—play all seven tiles and earn a 50-point bonus. What was your winning word? Strings!
它讓我取得了成功，七張牌全部打完，贏了50分獎金。你獲勝的單詞是什么？弦樂器！
