【Aiden in English】

        I'm not the guy you pass to in soccer. Why? I have slow reflexes, like dirt, and I'm 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 was handed… 5 feet away from the goal, right next to me. I attached by dribbling the ball to my left and letting it rip. The goalie caught the ball like a lob and kicked it again. Again, it was right next to me. Again, I dribbled to my left. Again, I let it rip. This time, persistence paid off, and I tied the game at 3-3.

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

【紅霞譯】

        我可不是隨便接你傳球的人，為什麼呢﹖我熱身慢，節奏堪比空中飄舞的塵埃﹔況且心腸挺軟下腳欠狠，可偏巧今天奇蹟降臨。

        我們與另一足球隊展開激烈混戰，並落後一分。這時，我被換至中場擔任前衛，以此了卻最後短短三分鐘比賽。天哪，你肯定會說我踢進的這個球純屬僥倖，或者守門員太過差勁，但我自認為訓練有素，偶然中孕育着必然。

        當時，守門員得球，並大腳開球，球被踢出大門……五英尺以遠緊挨着我站的地方。見此狀況，我趕緊用腳將球帶到左側，然後長傳突破狠命朝球門踢去。守門員抓住了高吊弧線球，再次大腳開球，球又被踢到我跟前。我繼續把球運至左邊，外圍傳中把握射門機會。堅持到底就是勝利，這回終於巧奪一城，將比分追成三比三平。

        我不會主動進攻射門，並不表示不願嘗試。
