【Aiden in English】

        I'm not a team leader. No way in sports. So, when I was appointed as the team captain of a flag football team in my summer camp, I felt that one of the other kids should have been chosen. For one, I'm not the fastest kid in the world. The other three team captains seemed as quick as lightning, not to mention their background in football. Three, an experienced player was sitting beside me on my team. So now, after I've said all that, let's talk about some good things that happened today.

        An accidental touchdown! When I say "accidental," I mean a crazy, awkward, not-planned touchdown. And it all had to do with Jonathan, the kindergartener. The play from scrimmage took place when Jonathan caught a pitch at about the one-inch line. But instead of getting a touchdown, he threw it backward like a literal. Surprisingly, another teammate was able to catch it and score a touchdown.

        Football is a crazy game itself. Anything can happen anywhere, even an inch away from a touchdown.

        我當不了頭，運動項目里根本沒戲可唱。當被指定為夏令營奪旗式橄欖球隊隊長時，我覺得另一位更有資格。原因之一，我天生速度不快﹔之二，其他三位隊長則快如閃電，更不必說他們對美式足球瞭如指掌﹔之三，坐在我身邊的球友是一位經驗豐富的運動員。好吧，暫且不談這個話題，報道一下今天球場上的喜訊。

        意外達陣﹗我所指的“意外”，意思是着魔似的、離奇般的、毫無準備的觸地得分，而所有一切應歸功於學前班幼童喬納森。混戰中，這位小蘿蔔頭在離對方家門一英寸線上得球，本應直接達陣，結果反倒往回橫傳。出人意料地，另一位球員接住了傳球並觸地得分。

        美式足球拼搶瘋狂，什麼事情都會發生，而且並無時間場合之分，即使一英寸達陣區內也不例外。
