Question

We would have won．

If Jack had just scored that goal，

If we’d had just a few more minutes，

If we had trained harder，

If Ben had passed the ball to Joe，

If we’d had thousands of fans screaming，

If I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball，

If we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before，

If we hadn’t taken it easy，

If we hadn’t run out of energy，

We would have won．．．

If we’ve been better!

【解析】这是一首诗，诗里提到的是作者输掉的一场足球比赛，列举了输球的9条借口，最后承认输球的原因是自己的球队踢得不够好。
