N: What position did you play?
V: I wanted to be the pitcher, but the coach always kept me in the outfield. Have you played?
N: I used to play catch with my brothers at the park when I was little, but I never joined a team.
V: Hey, look! The batter for the Monkeys just hit the ball to the outfield.
N: Oh! And he's safe at first base. Wow! The bases are loaded! I wonder if the next batter can get them all home.
V: But I'm rooting for the Guardians.
N: Oh, sorry. I just think it'd be cool to see a grand slam.
V: I hope the pitcher can keep his cool. The inning is almost over.
N: Maybe he will strike the batter out.

緊張刺激的球賽
娜塔莉和文斯正在看守衛者隊和猿猴隊之間的棒球比賽現場直播。

文 斯： 我很高興妳和我一起看球賽。我們家很喜歡守衛者隊。
娜塔莉： 我不是狂粉，但有時候比賽非常刺激並有意想不到的結果。
文 斯： 我懂妳的意思。看到落後的隊伍反敗為勝很有趣。
娜塔莉： 你有打過棒球嗎？
文 斯： 有啊。我唸中學時有打過。
娜塔莉： 你打什麼位置？
文 斯： 我想當投手，但教練總是讓我待在外野。妳有打過嗎？

文 斯： 嘿，妳看！猿猴隊的打者剛剛將球擊到外野了。
娜塔莉： 喔！而且他安全上一壘了。哇！滿壘了！我好奇下個打者能不能讓他們全部回到本壘。
文 斯： 但我支持守衛者隊。
娜塔莉： 喔，抱歉。我只是想說能看到滿貫全壘打的話會很酷。
文 斯： 我希望投手能保持冷靜。這局快要結束了。
