胜利之队
The Winning Team
彼得眼睛直盯着地面，
Peter kept his eyes on the ground.
当他独自走在回家路上的时候，
As he walked home alone,
他觉得双肩很沉重。
he felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders.
今天是他人生中最糟糕的日子，
It was the worst day of his life.
他脑海里不停地在思考一个小时以前学校足球场上所发生的事。
His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field.
他怎么错过了进球呢？
How could he have missed scoring that goal?
他让全队人员失望了，
He had let his whole team down.
他愚蠢的错误使他生气，
His stupid mistake made him angry.
整个球队因为他输掉了比赛，
His team had lost the game because of him.
他真担心教练会把他赶出球队。
He was really worried that his coach might kick him off the team.
他一进家门，
As soon as he walked through the door,
他爸爸就问“怎么了，儿子？”
his father asked, “What’s wrong, son?”
彼得的情绪都写在脸上，
Peter’s feelings were written all over his face.
“
我输了比赛。” 彼得回答。
“
I lost the game,” Peter replied.
随后他二话没说走进了自己的卧室。
Then he went into his room without another word.
十分钟后彼得听见爸爸在敲卧室门，
Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door.
他打开门让他进来。
He opened the door to let him in.
“彼得你看，我不知道发生什么了，
“
Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened.
但不管怎样，不要对自己太苛刻。”
But whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.”
“
我输了一颗球，爸爸，
“
I lost the game, Dad.
是我让球队失败了，
I failed my team.
很可能他们再也不让我踢球了。”
They’ll probably never let me play again.”
“足球是靠团队的集体努力，
“
Soccer is about team effort.
你不是球队失败的唯一原因。
You’re not the only reason your team lost.
如果你们是一只优秀的团队，
If you have a good team,
你们应该互相支持。
you should support each other.
此外，输赢只是比赛的一半，
Besides, winning or losing is only half the game.
另一半是学会如何跟队友合作，
The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates,
从错误中
学习
。“
and learning from your mistakes.”
彼得没说什么，
Peter didn’t say anything,
但是爸爸的话使他陷入了沉思。
but what his father said made him think carefully.
第二天，彼得勇敢地参加了足球训练，
The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage,
而不是心里害怕。
rather than fear in his heart.
“嗨，伙伴们，”他对队友说，
“
Hey, guys,” he said to his teammates.
“
我对昨天的失误感到非常抱歉，
“
I’m really sorry about yesterday.
我们差点就赢了那场比赛。
We were so close to winning that game.
但我想只要我们继续团结一致，
But I think if we continue to pull together,
我们就会赢得下一场比赛。”
we’re going to win the next one.”
出乎意料而又让他欣慰的是，
To his surprise and relief,
他的队友都赞同地点了头。
his teammates all nodded in agreement.
“
是的，”他们说“别担心了，
“
Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it.
失败绝不是一个人的错误，
It’s never just one person’s fault.
我们应该考虑下一次我们怎样才能合作得更好。”
We should think about how we can do better next time.”
彼得笑了，
Peter smiled.
他为自己仍是胜利球队队员而感到幸运。
It made him feel lucky to know that he was on a winning team.
Good habits achieve beautiful life.
Try to be your best
