The Winning Team
Peter kept his eyes on the ground and felt a heavy
weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone.
It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not
stop thinking about what happened only just an
hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he
have missed scoring that goal? He had let his
whole team down. His stupid mistake made him
angry. His team lost the game because of him. He
was really worried that his coach may kick him off
the team.
As soon as he walked through the door, his
father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s
feelings were written all over his face. “I lost the
game, ” Peter replied. Then he went into his
room without another word. Ten minutes later,
Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom
door. He opened the door to let him in.
“Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But
whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.”
“I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll
probably never let me play again.” “Soccer is
about team effort. You’re not the only reason your
team lost. If you have a good team, you should
support each other. Besides, winning or losing is
only half the game. The other half is learning how
to communicate with your teammates and learning
from your mistakes.”
Peter didn’t say anything but what his father said
made him think carefully.
The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with
courage rather than fear in his heart.
“Hey, guys, ” he said to his teammates. “I’m
really sorry about yesterday. We were so close to
winning that game. But I think if we continue to
pull together, we’re going to win the next one.”
To his surprise and relief, his teammates all
nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, ” they said, “don’t worry about it.
It’s never just one person’s fault. We should
think about how we can do better next time.”
Peter smiled. It made him feel lucky to know
that he was on a winning team.

个海员, 不如说他是一个探险者。
例2:He ran rather than walked.

telephone. 我决定写信而不是打电话。
注意:rather than 后接不定式时, 不定式可
以带to, 也可以不带to, 如上句。
