It's coming. It's getting better. I think you just need to work on that a little bit more.

來(lái)了。越來(lái)越好。我認(rèn)為你需要多花一點(diǎn)時(shí)間練習(xí)。

OK, watch me. You're gonna keep your eye on the ball, then get your body behind the glove, and scoop it up like this. OK?

好了，看我。你們要眼睛盯著球，然后身體移到手套后，像這樣接球。明白嗎?

They used to call me 'Mighty Casey.' Do you know the poem, 'Casey at the Bat'?

這是一首關(guān)于壘球的名詩(shī)。由于他的大力擊球，凱西的球隊(duì)輸了。來(lái)看看…我原來(lái)很熟悉的…太陽(yáng)在照耀，孩子們?cè)跉g呼，在馬德維沒(méi)有快樂(lè)， 大力凱西在擊球。

Hey, he has the same name as you.

嗨，他和你的名字一樣。

Right. We Caseys are baseball legends. Do you wanna try, Alicia? OK, here you go.

How did you get so good at sports?

看來(lái)確實(shí)如此。

Alex wants to take guitar lessons with her. I'm thinking about setting it up.

阿里克斯想跟她上吉他課。我在考慮開(kāi)設(shè)這門(mén)課。

That's a great idea. I'm sure she'll be good at that, too... And I know she needs the money.

是個(gè)好主意。我肯定她也擅長(zhǎng)吉他…而且我知道她需要錢(qián)。

All right! All right!

好了!好了!

That was a nice hit. I saw that. It was great.

那球不錯(cuò)。我看見(jiàn)了。很棒。

Did you see the catch I made?

你看見(jiàn)我接球了嗎?

No, I got here a little late. How do you like your new coach?

很不錯(cuò)…能吃冰淇淋嗎，爸爸?

OK... Do you still want to take guitar lessons with Miss Casey?

好吧…你仍想上凱西小姐的吉他課嗎?

Uh... the poem?

嗯…那首詩(shī)?

Yeah. Miss Casey recited the poem for us today. Cause mighty Casey has struck out... She and mighty Casey are baseball legends.

是啊。凱西小姐今天背誦給我們聽(tīng)。 因?yàn)榇罅P西擊球 …她和凱西都是壘球好手。

There she is. Wait here. I'll go ask her about the guitar lessons.

Miss Casey knows Uncle Alberto?

凱西小姐認(rèn)識(shí)奧博托叔叔?

Yes, they're... friends. Oh well, I'll talk to her another time. Come on, slugger, I think I'll have some ice cream, too.

是的，他們是…朋友。行了，我再找時(shí)間和她談。來(lái)吧，鼻涕蟲(chóng)，我也想吃點(diǎn)冰淇淋。

Thank you very much for the flowers! They're beautiful!

非常感謝你送的花。它們太漂亮了!

You're welcome.

沒(méi)什么。

So, are you free Saturday?

There's a gallery opening. I'd like to take you to.

有個(gè)藝術(shù)館開(kāi)幕。我想帶你去。

I'd love to go... But I am swamped with homework.

我當(dāng)然想去…但是我的功課應(yīng)接不暇。

I'll pick you up at four and have you home by eight. How's that?

我4點(diǎn)來(lái)接你，8點(diǎn)送你回家。怎么樣?

That sounds fine. This probably sounds strange to you, but I've never been to a gallery opening before. What's it like?

聽(tīng)上去可以。也許你會(huì)覺(jué)得奇怪，但是我從未出席過(guò)藝術(shù)館開(kāi)幕。開(kāi)幕式什么樣?

All you have to do is stand around, um... look at the art, schmooze a little, drink wine, eat tiny sandwiches. And there are usually good people-watching.

I'm sure I will.

我肯定會(huì)的。
