英语自学网

　　一场CBA总决赛吸引了海内外媒体的关注。其实，大家关注的目标只有一个：即将参加NBA选秀的易建联。大洋彼岸的球队星探纷纷来华，为的就是看上阿联一场比赛。请看外电相关报道：
　　The finals of CBA between Bayi Rockets and Guangdong Tigers, China Basketball Association, have drawn much attention from local basketball fans, and also a number of NBA executives and scouts , who have arrived China to watch top Chinese player Yi Jianlian, a latent NBA star.
　　"We know that Yi Jianlian has declared himself eligible for this year's draft , so we have come to watch him," Phoenix's vice president of basketball operations, David Griffin, was quoted as saying.
　　报道中，scout指的是“球探”，当然，若用在娱乐领域则意指“星探”。在这里，scout专指体育和娱乐界的“伯乐”。
　　基于“球探、星探”这层含义，scout做动词时指“物色人才”，或更通俗一点“挖墙根”。看两个例句：
　　She scouts for a professional basketball team.(她在物色一个职业篮球队。)
　　Do you know Mr. Weng has been scouted out by company A? (知道吗?翁先生被A公司挖走了。)
　　此外，报道中的“draft”指的是“NBA选秀”。
