按照國際足協的規定，正式比賽時每場每隊最多可以換三個替補球員。很多人可能會覺得替補球員一般都是坐冷板凳的。其實，很多大名鼎鼎的球員都做過替補。很多替補球員也都立下過大功。

1. However, Ecuador preserved their strength for the knockout stage, keeping their two star strikers Agustin Delgado and Carlos Tenorio on the bench.

不知道厄瓜多爾這一招是不是就是為了對陣英格蘭而保存實力，不過，從結果來看，顯然收效不大。

因為替補都是“坐板凳”的，所以“讓某人做替補”就可以說成 keep sb. on the bench。沒想過漢語和英語可以這么相同吧？

2. Rooney came off the bench in the 58th minute as England struggled to break down its Caribbean opponent.

魯尼的回歸可是讓fans們大大驚喜了一場。

既然做替補是on the bench的，那么從“替補隊員”成為“上場隊員”就可以說成是come off the bench。

3. Johan Elmander, who had come on as a substitute just three minutes earlier, set up the goal when he swung a pass from 25 yards out on the right side toward Marcus Allback on the left.

“坐板凳”是替補的一個nickname，人家正式的英文名可是substitute，想必大家都不陌生吧。

4. In the 34th, Switzerland's Johan Djourou was replaced by Stephane Grichting.

替補又被替補，瑞士的這場比賽可謂驚險。

要說某一個球員被替換下場，該怎么說呢？細心的你一定已經從例句中找到答案了吧，沒錯，一個replace就可以搞定啦！
