224.A Little Football Hero
224.小個子足球英雄
When little Bo Billings scored his first touch down, everyone thought it was too good to be true! But it was, and for the rest of the season Bo Billings played at the top of his bent! The other players towered over him, sure, but Bo Billings could run! He was brave to the core and his success against all odds really touched a nerve in everybody. He was top-notch and they wanted to see him, and their local football team, succeed.
當(dāng)小個子波·比林斯第一次攻方持球觸地得分時，大家都認(rèn)為好得令人難以置信！可那的確是真的，在那個賽季剩下的時間里，波·比林斯發(fā)揮得淋漓盡致！其他隊員確實比他高，可是波·比林斯很能跑！他十分勇敢，盡管有極大困難他還是取得了成功，真的讓每一個人觸及要害。他是第一流的隊員，他們希望看到他及他們的地方足球隊取勝。
That's why it was really too bad when Bo Billings got crushed by three big kids on one tackle! As he lay there tossing and turning on the ground, everyone stood up in the stands with their hearts in their mouths. Bo Billings was rushed to the hospital.
就因為這樣，當(dāng)波·比林斯被三個大孩子阻截壓傷時，他們覺得真的太遺憾了！他躺在地上滾來滾去，大家都焦急萬分地從看臺上站起來。波·比林斯被趕快送到了醫(yī)院。
The other team just shrugged and said tough luck; that was football! And they won the game. Everyone traced back their victory to the injury of Bo Billings.
對方隊員只是聳了聳肩，說了聲“真不幸”。這就是足球！他們贏了比賽。大家都把他們的勝利追溯到對波·比林斯的傷害。
Back in town Bo was lying in the hospital. He was touch and go for a while, and that worried everyone. To think that he might not survive was unbearable. When Bo did open his eyes, his words were short and to the point: "Did we win?"
回到城里，波躺在了醫(yī)院里。有一段時間他的情況很危急，大家都很擔(dān)心。一想到他可能活不了他們就難以忍受。后來波真的睜開了眼睛，他說的話簡短扼要：“我們贏了嗎？”
No one wanted to touch on the fact that they had lost because of losing Bo, so they answered yes.
誰都不想提及他們因為失去波而輸?shù)舯荣惖氖聦崳运麄兌颊f贏了。
Then Bo closed his eyes and died. He really had been too small for football!
然后波閉上眼睛死了。他的個子踢足球真是太小了！
After he passed away the town council made a special statue just in his memory!
他死之后市政會為紀(jì)念他專門立了一尊塑像！
And they changed the regulations to put in a size requirement for football!
同時他們修改了足球的有關(guān)規(guī)定，對身高有了要求！
