Twenty Four The Assistant's First Day
第二十四課 助手的第一天
"Okay, coach, I'm ready to be at your service!" Chucky said.
"好的，教練，我可以隨時聽您吩咐！" 查基說。
"Whoa. Chucky, this is basketball practice, not swimming practice," the coach replied.
"哇哦，查基，這是籃球訓(xùn)練，不是游泳訓(xùn)練。" 教練說。
"You have to get shorts that don't look like a bathing suit!"
"你穿的運(yùn)動短褲不像游泳衣。"
"Sorry, I'm not acquainted with what type of shorts the players wear."
"對不起，我不了解運(yùn)動員該穿哪種運(yùn)動短褲。"
"Here. Wear these," the coach said handing another pair of shorts to Chucky .
"好啦，把這個穿上吧。" 教練說，遞給查基另外一條短褲。
"And I'll get you another pair for actual basketball games.
"我會給你另外一條真正的籃球比賽穿的短褲。
It's a must that you wear these ones I just gave you to practices only. Got it?"
我給你的短褲只能在訓(xùn)練時穿，這是必須要做到的事情，明白嗎？"
"Yep. So who are we getting ready to battle against today?
"明白了，今天我們準(zhǔn)備跟誰較量？"
"That's not important!
"跟誰較量并不重要。
Just stay attached to me like glue.
你只要像膠水一樣跟著我就行啦。
You're an assistant, okay?
你是一名助手，知道嗎？
I give the orders and you follow directions."
我發(fā)號施令，你按要求辦事。"
"Sure. I was just about to ask you what I'm supposed to actually do.
"沒問題，我正準(zhǔn)備問你我實際應(yīng)該做什么呢！
It's still a mysetery to me."
我還真不知道。"
"You'll see," replied the coach with a smile.
"你會知道的。" 教練笑著答道。
Then practice began and Chucky had to take attendance.
接著訓(xùn)練開始了，查基得點一下名。
Only one player had been absent from school that day, so almost everyone was there.
那天只有一名隊員缺席，幾乎每個人都到了。
Chucky then became absorbed in watching the coach, taking notes running drills with specific players, etc.
查基然后全神貫注地看著教練，記著筆記，和幾名隊員一起操練，等等。
When Chucky saw that the coach was abundant in knowledge, he quickly became accustomed to being the coach's shadow.
當(dāng)查基發(fā)現(xiàn)教練知識淵博時，他很快習(xí)慣了做教練的追隨者。
And it was a good first day. Chucky thought that it would be easy to become addicted to coaching. "Well, how was it?" the coach asked.
第一天很不錯。查基覺得很容易對輔導(dǎo)別人上癮。"嗯，你覺得怎么樣？" 教練問。
Chucky replied that it was great and that he was sure some of the players were getting better.
查基回答說好極了，并說一些隊友有進(jìn)步。
"That's all in a day's work, son. All in a day's work!"
"這不足為奇，孩子，不足為奇！"
