2013年ESL之餐饮娱乐 10 Getting an Advantage in Sports

 

Getting an Advantage in Sports 

Tammy: What are you doing this year to give your team an advantage? 

Phillip: I have a few tricks up my sleeve. We’re going to have a winning season. 

Tammy: Are you going to start Wang? 

Phillip: No, I’m redshirting Wang. I want him to sit out his first year so he can sharpen his skills. 

Tammy: I’m really surprised. Wang is already a great player and too good to sit on the bench. 

Phillip: Trust me, I know what I’m doing. He’ll get an extra year of eligibility¹ and be even better next year. 

Tammy: If you say so. What about Schwartz? 

Phillip: He’s out for the season. He’s hurt and won’t be able to play. 

Tammy: That’s a major blow! He’s your star player, right? 

Phillip: He’s a loss, but I have a secret weapon. 

Tammy: Oh, yeah? 

Phillip: This new player, Pierre, is going to give the other teams a run for their money. 

Tammy: Who is he? 

Phillip: Just somebody I recruited. Let’s just say he’s talented beyond his years. 

Tammy: Huh? You mean he’s a ringer? You’re bringing in a ringer? 

Phillip: Of course not. He’s just a little more experienced than my other players and he’ll be a force to be reckoned with. 

Tammy: Only if nobody catches on. 

Phillip: Catches on to what?
