雙語親情故事:父親一定能看到我贏了大綱

A teenage boy lived alone with his father. The two of them had a very special relationship.

Even though the son was always "warming the bench," his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a football game.

This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn’t want to. But the young man loved football and decided to hang in there.

The son was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he’d get to play when he became a senior.

All through high school he never missed a practice but still remained a bench warmer all four years. His faithful father always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him.

When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on." Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did. The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice and, at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.

The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games.

This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in the game. It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big play-off game, the coach met him with a telegram.

The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?" The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, "Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday."

Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon.

"Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today," said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in.

"All right," he said, "you can go in." Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right.

The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked and tackled like a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied.

In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown!

The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. Such cheering you’ve never heard!

Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that the young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, "Kid, I can’t believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?"

He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?"

The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!"

有一個男孩，他與父親相依爲命，父子感情特別深。

男孩喜歡橄欖球，雖然在球場上常常是板凳隊員，但他的父親仍然場場不落地前來觀看，每次比賽都在看臺上爲兒子鼓勁。

整個中學時期，男孩沒有誤過一場訓練或者比賽，但他仍然是一個板凳隊員，而他的父親也一直在鼓勵着他。

當男孩進了大學，他參加了學校橄欖球隊的選拔賽。能進入球隊，哪怕是跑龍套他也願意。人們都以爲他不行，可這次他成功了——教練挑選了他是因爲他永遠都那麼用心地訓練，同時還不斷給別的同伴打氣。

但男孩在大學的球隊裏，還是一直沒有上場的機會。轉眼就快畢業了，這是男孩在學校球隊的最後一個賽季了，一場大賽即將來臨。

那天男孩小跑着來到訓練場，教練遞給他一封電報，男孩看完電報，突然變得死一般沉默。他拼命忍住哭泣，對教練說：“我父親今天早上去世了，我今天可以不參加訓練嗎？”教練溫和地摟住男孩的肩膀，說：“這一週你都可以不來，孩子，星期六的比賽也可以不來。”

星期六到了，那場球賽打得十分艱難。當比賽進行到3/4的時候，男孩所在的隊已經輸了10分。就在這時，一個沉默的年輕人悄悄地跑進空無一人的更衣間，換上了他的球衣。當他跑上球場邊線，教練和場外的隊員們都驚異地看着這個滿臉自信的隊友。

“教練，請允許我上場，就今天。”男孩央求道。教練假裝沒有聽見。今天的比賽太重要了，差不多可以決定本賽季的勝負，他當然沒有理由讓最差的隊員上場。但是男孩不停地央求，教練終於讓步了，覺得再不讓他上場實在有點對不住這孩子。

“好吧，”教練說，“你上去吧。”很快，這個身材瘦小、籍籍無名、從未上過場的球員，在場上奔跑，過人，攔住對方帶球的隊員，簡直就像球星一樣。他所在的球隊開始轉敗爲勝，很快比分打成了平局。

就在比賽結束前的幾秒鐘，男孩一路狂奔衝向底線，得分！贏了！

男孩的隊友們高高地把他拋起來，看臺上球迷的歡呼聲如山洪暴發！

當看臺上的人們漸漸走空，隊員們沐浴過後一一離開了更衣間，教練注意到，男孩安靜地獨自一人坐在球場的一角。教練走近他，說：“孩子，我簡直不能相信，你簡直是個奇蹟！告訴我你是怎麼做到的？”

男孩看着教練，淚水盈滿了他的眼睛。他說：“你知道我父親去世了，但是你知道嗎？我父親根本就看不見，他是瞎的！”

“父親在天上，他第一次能真正地看見我比賽了！所以我想讓他知道，我能行！”
