not only the Middleton supporters, but even the little band of Georgeburgh rooters who had made the long trip to see the game!
不仅仅是米德顿的球迷，甚至连乔治布格小型乐队的支持者也这么认为，他们不远千里来看比赛。
He threw his sweater across his shoulders and followed his teammates toward the locker room set aside for them.
他将毛衣扔到肩膀上，跟着队友回到了为他们准备的更衣室中。
When he reached it, they were lying stretched out on the benches looking weary and dejected.

Listen, fellows! Do you know what the score is? His voice was hard, and his sea-blue eyes, usually so mild, flashed with anger.
听着伙计们，你们知道比分吗？他的声音铿锵有力，他的深蓝色眼睛通常看着很和善，但今天闪耀着怒火。
Frank O' Connor, the other forward, grinned. Bill Zimmerman and Ed Brown, the guards,
另一名前锋弗兰克·奥康娜笑了，防守球员比尔·齐默曼和爱得·布朗
made no sign of having heard. Paul Stearns, the tall center, pushed himself to a sitting position,
好似没有听到，大中锋保尔·斯特恩斯坐了起来，
slowly rubbing a bruised shoulder. Sure, we know the score, Stearns replied in a gloomy voice,

twenty-four to nine and it will be a lot worse at the end of the second half!
24比9，第二半场结束比分还会扩大。
Ed Brown gazed straight upward at the gray ceiling. Luck is against us, Rod. Take that last shot of yours, it missed the basket by a millionth of an inch!
爱得·布朗眼睛直勾勾地看着灰色天花板，罗德，今天我们不走运，就拿最后一投来说，你离进球也就差一百万分之一英寸。
Rodney's teeth came together with a click. He passed a hand impatiently through his moist brown hair,
罗德尼的牙齿发出了碰撞声，他将手不耐烦地划过湿润的棕色头发，
thrusting it back from his forehead. The second half is going to be different! he cried.
从前额向后捋去，第二半场肯定会不一样，他叫嚷道。
He was on his feet now, a tall, loose-jointed, broadshouldered boy with fists clenched in front of his chest.
他现在站了起来，他是一名个头很高，关节柔软，宽肩膀的男孩，他紧握的拳头放在胸前。
We're not beaten! We're not even half beaten! Listen, now, do we want to win this championship?
我们没有被打败，甚至连一半都不到，听着，我们不想赢下冠军奖杯了吗？
Of course we do! But we'll never win it if we just talk about hard luck and how big the final score's going to be!
我们当然想，如果我们只谈论运气差，以及最后分差有多大的话，我们就不可能赢。
