英語笑話:A Coach and His Players 教練與他的隊員
I was the new coach of a Little League baseball team and had not yet learned the names of my players. At our first game, I called each boy by the number on his uniform. When I yelled,"Number5, your time to bat, " Jeff Smith came to the plate to hit. When I called for "Number 7", Steve Heinz jumped up. Then I asked for "Number 1", and no one emerged from the dugout. Again I called for Number 1. Still no one. As the umpire looked on, annoyed at this delay of the game, I shouted, "Who is Number 1?" That's when the whole team yelled, "We are, Coach! We are!我初到一小團體棒球隊作教練，還不知道隊員的名字。在第一次比賽中，我按照每一名隊員球衣的號數來指揮。當我大聲喊到：“5號，你該擊球了。”傑夫·史密斯到本壘擊球。當我叫到“7號”時，史迪夫·漢斯就跳起來。然後我叫到“1號”，卻沒人從隱蔽壕裏跳出來。我又叫了一遍1號。還是沒人跳出來。 因爲裁判在旁觀看，我很生氣這支球隊的懶散，大聲吼道：“誰是1號（第一）？” 這時全體隊員大喊道；“是我們，教練！我們是！”
