每日英语：the God in youth
the God in youth—Michael Jordan 少年天才——迈克尔·乔丹(中)It was the worst day of Jordan’s young life. The list was alphabetical, so he focused on where the Js should be, and it wasn’t there, and he kept reading and rereading the list, hoping somehow that he had missed it, or that the alphabetical listing had been done incorrectly. That day he went home by himself and went to his room and cried. Smith understood what was happening — Michael, he knew, never wanted you to see him when he was hurt.
对于年轻的乔丹来说这一天简直遭透了。因为名单是按字母顺序排的，他就注意看可能有“乔”字的地方，可是并没有。他一遍又一遍地看着，真希望是自己看漏了，或者是字母顺序排错了。那天他独自回了家进屋后便大哭起来。史密斯明白所发生的一切——当迈克尔伤心或沮丧的时候，他不愿意见人。
“We knew Michael was good,” Fred Lynch, the Laney assistant coach, said later, “but we wanted him to play more and we thought the jayvee was better for him.” He easily became the best player on the jayvee that year. He simply dominated the play, and he did it not by size but with quickness. There were games in which he would score forty points. He was so good, in fact, that the jayvee games became quite popular. The entire varsity began to come early so they could watch him play in the jayvee games.
兰尼的助理教练雷德·里奇后来说：“我们知道迈克尔很出色，但我们想让他多练练，所以觉得二队更适合他。”那一年他轻松地成了二队中最出色的队员。凭借着敏捷而并非身高，他在队中就已举足轻重。许多比赛他都能得到四十分。实际上他突出的表现使二队的比赛倍受欢迎。为了能看到有他参加的二队比赛，整个校队的队员都开始提早到场。
