《The New Kid at Practice》封面

Zara joined the soccer team two years ago. Now she knows all the drills and rules. Today, a new boy comes to practice. He stands alone near the fence.

扎拉两年前加入了足球队。现在她熟悉所有的训练项目和规则。今天,一个新来的男孩来参加训练。他独自站在围栏边。

The coach calls the team together. "This is Umar," she says. "He's new here."

教练把大家叫到一起。“这是奥马尔,”她说,“他是新来的。”

Umar looks nervous. He doesn't know anyone on the team.

奥马尔看上去很紧张。队里的人他一个都不认识。

Zara walks over and stands next to him.

扎拉走过去,站到他身边。

"Hi, I'm Zara," she says. "Do you know the rules of this game?"

“嗨,我是扎拉,”她说,“你知道这项运动的规则吗?”

"Not really," Umar says. "I'm new to soccer."

“不太知道,”奥马尔说,“我刚开始踢足球。”

"That's okay," Zara says. "I can explain them to you."

“没关系,”扎拉说,“我可以给你讲讲。”

She explains the basic rules step by step. Umar listens carefully and nods.

她一步一步地讲解基本规则。奥马尔认真地听着,不时点头。

"When the ball goes out, we stop and restart here," Zara says.

“球出界的时候,我们就停下来,从这里重新开球,”扎拉说。

"What about this line?" Umar asks. "What does it mean?"

“那这条线呢?”奥马尔问,“它是什么意思?”

"That line marks the edge of the field," Zara says.

“那条线标出的是场地的边界,”扎拉说。

The coach blows the whistle. "Everyone, take your positions!" she calls.

教练吹响了哨子。“大家各就各位!”她喊道。

Zara points to a spot near Umar. "Stand here with me," she says. "I'll help you during the game."

扎拉指了指奥马尔旁边的一个位置。“站这儿,跟我在一起,”她说,“比赛的时候我会帮你。”

They start the practice game together. Umar makes a good pass early on.
