“里弗賽德男孩：聾啞足球隊和追求榮耀”

這是托馬斯·富勒（Thomas Fuller）著作《里弗賽德男孩：聾啞足球隊和追求榮耀》的第一章的開始。

"Phillip. The story begins before the reporters and the television correspondents flocked to interview the team. Before the offers from movie producers, before the National Football League invited the captains to participate in the Super Bowl coin toss. Before success."

“菲利普。故事開始於記者和電視記者湧向採訪團隊。在電影製片人的報價之前，國家橄欖球聯盟邀請隊長參加超級碗硬幣折騰。在成功之前。”

That’s the beginning to the first chapter of Thomas Fuller’s book The Boys of Riverside: a Deaf Football Team and a Quest for Glory.

這是托馬斯·富勒（Thomas Fuller）著作《里弗賽德男孩：聾啞足球隊和追求榮耀》的第一章的開始。

Phillip was one of the players on this eight-man division football team in the Central Valley of California. Their division had 48 teams only a few from deaf schools. In November of 2021, the author, a New York Times correspondent, saw an email reporting on the historic winning season this state-run school of 168 students was having. Fuller went to one of their games and decided this was a story worth telling. The chapters take us through the next year and two championship games, talking about particular players and games and giving historic context to how the world views deaf people. Communicating via sign language gave the team an advantage when playing a hearing team. You’ll even learn one fun fact about where the term huddle came from.

菲利普（Phillip）是加利福尼亞州中部山谷的八人組足球隊的球員之一。他們的部門只有48支來自聾人學校的團隊。 2021年11月，作者是《紐約時報》記者，看到了一封有關歷史悠久的勝利季節的電子郵件報告，該季節由168名學生組成。富勒參加了他們的一場比賽，並認為這是一個值得講述的故事。這些章節帶我們參加了明年的比賽和兩場冠軍賽，談論了特定的玩家和遊戲，並為世界如何看待聾人賦予了歷史性的背景。通過手語交流在參加聽證團隊時為團隊帶來了優勢。您甚至會學會一個有趣的事實，內容涉及huddle的來源。

This is a wonderfully written story about a group of boys who become a family based on their shared love of football and their deafness. As the book jacket says this book, “Explores unbreakable chemistry and common purpose, a riveting sports story, and, ultimately, an inspiring human narrative.” My softhearted husband Mark was a huge football fan. He would have loved this story. If you’re a similar football fan, then you really must read The Boys of Riverside by Thomas Fuller.

這是一個奇妙的故事，講述了一群男孩，他​​們根據他們對足球和耳聾的共同熱愛而成為家庭。正如夾克書所說的那樣，“探索牢不可破的化學和共同目的，一個令人陶醉的體育故事，最終是一個鼓舞人物的敘事。”我的丈夫馬克（Mark）是一個巨大的足球迷。他會喜歡這個故事。如果您是類似的足球迷，那麼您確實必須閱讀Thomas Fuller的Riverside男孩。
