Hanging in the hallway at Whites high school in Wabash, are the basketball team pictures from the past 40 years. A player in the center of the front row in each picture holds a basketball identifying the year一 "62一63"，"63一64”，“64一65” , etc.

位于印第安纳州瓦巴西怀兹中学，在这里地门厅处悬挂着过去四十年间该校篮球队的照片，每幅照片前排中间的队员手里举着一个篮球，上面表明年份—"62 -63"，"63一64"，“64一65”等等。

One day I spotted¹ a freshman² looking curiously³ at the photos. Turning to me, he said，“isn’t it strange how the teams always lost by one point?"

一天，我看到一名新生在很困惑地看着照片。他朝我转过身来，说道:“多奇怪啊，这些队都是以一份之差输掉的!”
