“里弗赛德男孩：聋哑足球队和追求荣耀”

这是托马斯·富勒（Thomas Fuller）著作《里弗赛德男孩：聋哑足球队和追求荣耀》的第一章的开始。

"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。故事开始于记者和电视记者涌向采访团队。在电影制片人的报价之前，国家橄榄球联盟邀请队长参加超级碗硬币折腾。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.

这是托马斯·富勒（Thomas Fuller）著作《里弗赛德男孩：聋哑足球队和追求荣耀》的第一章的开始。

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）是加利福尼亚州中部山谷的八人组足球队的球员之一。他们的部门只有48支来自聋人学校的团队。 2021年11月，作者是《纽约时报》记者，看到了一封有关历史悠久的胜利季节的电子邮件报告，该季节由168名学生组成。富勒参加了他们的一场比赛，并认为这是一个值得讲述的故事。这些章节带我们参加了明年的比赛和两场冠军赛，谈论了特定的玩家和游戏，并为世界如何看待聋人赋予了历史性的背景。通过手语交流在参加听证团队时为团队带来了优势。您甚至会学会一个有趣的事实，内容涉及huddle的来源。

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.

这是一个奇妙的故事，讲述了一群男孩，他​​们根据他们对足球和耳聋的共同热爱而成为家庭。正如夹克书所说的那样，“探索牢不可破的化学和共同目的，一个令人陶醉的体育故事，最终是一个鼓舞人物的叙事。”我的丈夫马克（Mark）是一个巨大的足球迷。他会喜欢这个故事。如果您是类似的足球迷，那么您确实必须阅读Thomas Fuller的Riverside男孩。
