話題:Miller King讓我真正長大 詞數:247W 難度:★★★★
When I was 13,my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.That meant beating out Miller King, who was the best player at our school.
Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for practice.
Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from hospital .He looked very pale ,but he didn’t cry.
That season, I broke all of Miller’s records while he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, but I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller’s accident .
One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller stuck going over a fence—which wasn’t hard to climb if you had both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept assistance from. But even that challenge he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally safe on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did
fine . Thank you for filling in for me .”His words freed me from my bad dreams .I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was still ahead of me. I was right to have admired him. From that day on, I grew bigger and a little more real.

當我13歲的時候，我唯一的願望就是成為我們校足球隊的明星。這就意味著我必須打敗我們學校最優秀的隊員Miller King。
足球賽季在九月份開始，整個夏天我都在努力，我到處踢足球來訓練。
就在九月前夕，Miller被一輛卡車撞了，失去了他的右臂。我在他出院後去看望他。他的臉色看起來很蒼白，但是他沒有哭。
那個賽季，當他坐在長凳上看主場比賽時，我打破了米勒的所有記錄。我們以10-1贏得了比賽，並且我被評為最有價值球員，但是我經常做一些離奇的夢，我應該為米勒的意外車禍承擔責任。
有一天下午，我在穿過運動場回家時，看到米勒被卡在了籬笆上---如果他沒有失去右臂，要想翻越這個籬笆並非難事。我確信在這個世界上我是他最不想去尋求幫助的人。他接受了這個挑戰，我幫助他慢慢地在柵欄上移動。當我們安全地到達柵欄的另一邊時，他對我說，“你知道，在這賽季期間沒有告訴你，你做得很好，謝謝你替我打比賽。”
他的話讓我從噩夢中解放出來。我想，即使他沒有手臂，他也更像一個領導者。受到傷害但是他並沒有被打敗，他仍然領先於我。我很佩服他，從那天起，我長大了，而且更加真實。
