【Aiden in English】
After being sick at home straight for two days, I was finally back in action, even though my fever wasn't entirely gone. With medication, there was no problem. But without those horrible pills, my temperature would spike. So, today I took risk and after eating an Advil, pill, I left for LC.
During B-Ball Camp, the class played a 90-min game. The score wasn't pretty. We, the guest team, got demolished 61-72. Not because I was a horrible team picker, but I just threw the ball away too much and nobody was able to catch it.
In the 1st half, I was my team's top scorer. It was layup after layup, buckets after buckets, and occasionally a three-point from downtown. In the 2nd half, however, my fever kicked in and the splitting headaches happened whenever I ran, jumped, or fought for the ball. I just couldn't play. Putting the ball near the net even became an effort.
As much as I lost on the court, I gained a crucial piece of information. PLAYING B-BALL with A FEVER IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! Maybe today I shouldn't have come to LC after all.
【紅霞譯文】
經過連續兩天生病在家，我終於開始採取措施，儘管病灶尚未徹底消除。藥物控制不成問題，一旦離開可怕的藥片，體溫又迅速回升。對此，今天我吃下一片布洛芬退燒藥，冒着風險去了蘭斯代爾天主教高中。
逗留籃球夏令營期間，營員們全部投入一場長達90分鐘的比賽，結果慘不忍睹。作為客隊的我們以61比72的戰績敗下陣來，這並非因為接我傳球的隊員不好，而是因為我把球仍得過遠，沒人能接得住。
在上半場中，我是本隊主要得分手，一個接着一個地上籃，兩分接着兩分地攀升，偶爾球還會從三分線外應聲入網。然而一到了下半場，我又開始發燒，每當奔跑、彈跳、或者爭球時，都感覺頭痛欲裂，實力大受影響，甚至連就地投籃也變得相當費勁。
正因場上有失水準，我才得出一條寶貴經驗﹕帶病上陣打籃球絕非上策﹗﹗﹗也許今天我根本不該來蘭斯代爾天主教高中。
