Tammy: Are you going to start Wang?
汤米:你打算从王开始?
Phillip: No, I’m redshirting Wang. I want him to sit out his first year so he can sharpen his skills.
菲利普:不,我打算让王当红衫运动员(退出校代表队竞赛一年,以便提高技术再归队的回归运动员)。第一年不让他参加比赛,让他再磨练一下技能。
Tammy: I’m really surprised. Wang is already a great player and too good to sit on the bench.
汤米:我很惊讶,王已经是很优秀的队员了,太优秀以至于需要在场外坐冷板凳。
Phillip: Trust me, I know what I’m doing. He’ll get an extra year of eligibility and be even better next year.
菲利普:相信我,我知道自己在做什么。他将获得额外一年的资格,来年他会做的更好。
Tammy: If you say so. What about Schwartz?

菲利普:他不参加赛季比赛,他受伤了,不能参加比赛。

Phillip: He’s a loss, but I have a secret weapon.
菲利普:他是我们一大损失,但是我有秘密武器。
Tammy: Oh, yeah?
汤米:哦,是吗?
Phillip: This new player, Pierre, is going to give the other teams a run for their money.
菲利普:这是新队员——皮尔,他是个很具挑战性、难应对的球员。
Tammy: Who is he?
汤米:他是谁?
Phillip: Just somebody I recruited. Let’s just say he’s talented beyond his years.
菲利普:他是我新招募的队员,他的天赋过人,超过他那个年纪应该有的能力。
Tammy: Huh? You mean he’s a ringer? You’re bringing in a ringer?
汤米:嗯?你是说他是个替身队员?你招进来一个替身队员?
Phillip: Of course not. He’s just a little more experienced than my other players and he’ll be a force to be reckoned with.
菲利普:当然不是,他只是比其他队员更多一点经验,他将会是很强势的力量。
Tammy: Only if nobody catches on.
汤米:除非没人知道会发生什么。
