【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 in my summer camp, I felt one of the other kids should have been chosen. For one, I'm not the fastest kid in the world. Two, the other three team captains seemed to be fast as lightning, not to mention the background knowledge about football. Three, an experienced player was sitting right next to me in 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 meant "accidental", I mean a crazy, awkward, not planned to 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 backwards like a lateral. Surprisingly, another teammate was able to catch it and scored a touchdown.

        Football is a crazy game itself. Anything can happen anywhere at anytime, even if it's an inch away from a touchdown.

        我当不了头，运动项目里根本没戏可唱。当被指定为夏令营夺旗式美式足球队队长时，我觉得另一位更有资格。原因之一，我天生速度不快﹔之二，其他三位队长则快如闪电，更不必说他们对美式足球了如指掌﹔之三，坐在我身边的球友是一位经验丰富的运动员。好吧，暂且不谈这个话题，报道一下今天球场上的喜讯。

        意外达阵﹗我所指的“意外”，意思是着魔似的、离奇般的、毫无准备的触地得分，而所有一切应归功于学前班幼童乔纳森。混战中，这位小萝卜头在离对方家门一英寸线上得球，本应直接达阵，结果反倒往回横传。出人意料地，另一位球员接住了传球并触地得分。

        美式足球拼抢疯狂，什么事情都会发生，而且并无时间场合之分，即使一英寸达阵区内也不例外。
