Bulls' Deng out for Game 1; Rose not ruling out return

公牛滷蛋第一場無法上場；玫瑰不排除復出！

★片語：

rule out-rule做動詞有管理、統治的意思，把某件事情rule out就是說排除可能性。
例：Rule out the possibility of bird flu!排除禽流感的可能性

MIAMI (AP) --
Derrick Rose still has not ruled out a return this season for the Chicago Bulls, saying he could play in their Eastern Conference semifinal against the Miami Heat. 

玫瑰"仍然、依舊、還是"沒有排除本季復出，而且他可能會於熱火系列賽出戰！

The 2011 NBA MVP will not play for Chicago in Game 1 against Miami on Monday night, nor will forward Luol Deng. Deng returned to a hospital for more tests, the Bulls said, and underwent a spinal tap to rule out viral meningitis after becoming ill last week.

目前確定的是，2011年的MVP（ROSE）不會代表公牛出戰首戰！滷蛋也不會上場。滷蛋回醫院做了更多的檢查，並於上禮拜身體不適時進行了脊椎刺穿的腦膜災檢測。

Rose has not played in more than a year while recovering from reconstructive knee surgery. He was hurt in last season's playoffs.

玫瑰於上球季的季後賽受傷後進行了膝關節重建手術，至此已經超過一年沒有上場打球！

"Still in the air," Rose said Monday before the Bulls went through a game-day practice in Miami. "I might have a chance."

"還是有機會的"，玫瑰於禮拜一練習完之後如此說。

★片語：

in the air-除了有在空中的意思之外，表示仍然有機會的意思！試想，東西還在空中飛，還沒消失不見，那就還有機會啦...XD

The Bulls are also awaiting word on guard Kirk Hinrich, who missed the last three games of Chicago's first-round series against Brooklyn with a calf injury.

另外公牛隊也還在等待KH的佳音，KH因為小腿受傷已經錯過與籃網隊最後三球比賽！

★單字：

await-wait的同意字，在美國生活還真的滿少聽到有人講這個字，但考試我就不敢講了

Coach Tom Thibodeau indicated that Hinrich would be a game-time decision for the opener, though did not sound optimistic.

教練指出KH出賽於否將於比賽時做決定，雖然不是很樂觀。

★單字：

indicate-指出。可做say的替代字，寫作文會加分，不要一直he said he said了...XD
optimistic-樂觀。you r optimistic，你很樂觀！
pessimistic-悲觀。

"It's slow, steady progress," Thibodeau said. "But he's still not there."

教練表示：「康復是循序漸近的過程，但他(KH)還沒到那兒呢！」

Miami's main injury concern heading into the series is the status of guard Dwyane Wade, who has been dealing with bone bruises around his right kneecap for several weeks. Coach Erik Spoelstra said Wade -- and every other Miami player -- was able to practice Monday morning, but is not planning to reveal his lineup until closer to game time. Still, Wade expects to play. "Thinking I'm ready to go," he said.

熱火隊的傷病問題就是Wade的膝傷！濕婆打算在比賽之前再公佈登錄球員名單。但Wade表示他準備好了。

★單字：
lineup-行列、一組人！排隊的片語是line up，把他合起來就變成"排好的登錄名單"

Deng tweeted that he would see his team in Miami, but now that seems less than certain. Thibodeau said the team is taking a day-to-day approach
with Deng, who did not play in the final two games of Chicago's first-round series with Brooklyn.

滷蛋tweet說，他會到場觀戰的，但現在似乎不太可能了！

...（省略幾段）

Rose said Deng's absence does not have him feeling pressure to rejoin the lineup.

玫瑰說到滷蛋的缺席，不會讓他有被加入登錄名單的壓力！

"I haven't had any pressure from anyone -- not in the organization, not from my teammates," Rose said. "They know I'm putting everything I have into trying to come back as fast as possible. But just trying to be smart with the whole situation and just take my time."

沒有任何人給我壓力，協會沒有，隊友沒有。他們都知道我盡全力想要趕快回到場上。但還是得看情況，慢慢來！

Thibodeau was far from committal when asked if Rose could play against Miami. "We'll see," he said.

公牛教練給了很模糊的答案但他被問他玫瑰到底能不能上場呢?""我們等著看吧！"教練說。

★單字：

committal-與commitment同義，承諾的意思。應該常常在電影看到，he doesn't want to make a commitment.女生跟女性朋友會這樣抱怨"他都不許下承諾"
