打棒球,这可能是在业余时间里,美国人最喜爱的娱乐方式之一,但是,我是一个例外。从小时候起,我就常常站在场外,一遍又一遍地向上帝祈祷:“可千万不要让球朝我这边飞来!”曾经有一次,当我连一个非常容易的球都没有击中时,我的教练索性把球从地上滚过来,他问我,是不是想打高尔夫?长大以后,我尽量学着欣赏棒球赛,甚至还成了当地棒球队的球迷。当然,我尽量避免亲自去打。儿子瑞安八岁了,我却希望他能学会打棒球,不要像他老爸我似的。于是,我为他在一个有自动捡球机的棒球训练俱乐部报了名。 Playing baseball, which is probably one of the most popular forms of entertainment for Americans in their spare time, is one exception. As a child, I often stand on the sidelines and pray to God over and over again: “Do not let the ball fly toward me! ” There was a time when I did not even have a very easy ball When I hit, my coach simply rolled the ball over the floor. He asked me if I wanted to play golf. When I grew up, I tried my best to learn about baseball, and even became a local baseball fan. Of course, I try to avoid going in person. My son Ryan is eight years old, but I hope he can play baseball, not like his father and I. So I named him for a baseball training club with an automatic pick-up machine.
