【Aiden in English】

        I'm not the guy you pass to in soccer. Why? I have slow reflexes like dirt and I am not the strongest kicker. However, a miracle happened today.

        We were down by one in a scrimmage against another team. I was put up in midfield for three short minutes. Wow, you could say the shot was a fluke, or it's a bad goalie. But I think of it as a fair and square goal.

        So the goalie had the ball and punted it. It handed ... ... 5 feet away from the goal, right next to me. Obviously, I attached by dribbling the ball to my left and letting it rip. The goalie caught the ball as if it was a lob, and gave it another punt. Again, it was right next to me. Again, I dribbled to my left. Again, I let it rip. This time, persistence won, and I tied up the game at 3-3.

        I'm not the one to go to for a goal. But it doesn't mean I can't give it a try.

【红霞译文】

        我可不是随便接你传球的人，为什么呢﹖我热身慢，节奏堪比空中飘舞的尘埃﹔况且心肠挺软下脚欠狠，可偏巧今天奇迹降临。

        我们与另一足球队展开激烈混战，并落后一分。这时，我被换至中场担任前卫，以此了却最后短短三分钟比赛。天哪，你肯定会说我踢进的这个球纯属侥幸，或者守门员太过差劲，但我自认为训练有素，偶然中孕育着必然。

        当时，守门员得球，并大脚开球，球被踢出大门……五英尺以远紧挨着我站的地方。见此状况，我赶紧用脚将球带到左侧，然后长传突破狠命朝球门踢去。守门员抓住了高吊弧线球，再次大脚开球，球又被踢到我跟前。我继续把球运至左边，外围传中把握射门机会。坚持到底就是胜利，这回终于巧夺一城，将比分追成三比三平。

        我不会主动进攻射门，并不表示不愿尝试。
