刚好有在NYT看到这篇文章， 有些问题想请教各位高手， 虽然不一定是football的问题啦， 但还请各位给点意见，谢谢。 ※ 引述《parabird (ABC)》之铭言： : NewYork Times : By LEE JENKINS : Published: September 25, 2006 : A crowd of more than 68,000 is expected to heed her call. For the first time, : the Saints have sold out all of their season tickets, an obvious sign that : excitement has taken an early lead on apprehension. 请问，taken an early lead on apprehension 是什麽意思呀?? 前面提到他们第一次把季票全数卖出，那为什麽还要「担忧」(apprehension)咧?? : No football team is capable of rebuilding neighborhoods or recruiting : families or making small businesses viable again. But with a couple of long : touchdowns, the Saints can turn the Superdome from a shelter back into a : stage. long touchdowns 是「传球达阵」的意思吗?? 用在这段话里，是不是指经历了重重困难的意思呀?? : The transformation will begin Monday night with performances by U2 and Green : Day. Former President George H. W. Bush, who was nominated at the Superdome : in 1988, will flip the coin. News media outlets will include Al Jazeera. : Archie Manning, patriarch of New Orleans football, will broadcast for the : Home Shopping Network, which is selling N.F.L. merchandise with part of the : proceeds going to Katrina relief. flip the coin 在这儿是啥意思?? : The Saints look a lot like a fantasy football team, with two excellent : running backs (Bush and McAllister), a top receiver (Joe Horn), a pedigreed : quarterback (Drew Brees), and not much else. not much else，是说不止以上这些人吗?? : The Superdome underwent a rapid $185 million makeover, leaving the suites : relatively bare. Most are decorated with folding tables and patio chairs. : Fans who want carpeting and couches can bring their own. : This ranks among the least of all inconveniences in New Orleans. Squeezing : into a cramped seat and watching the Saints play football is still a luxury. 想请问一下，这个Superdome是以原来的球场修建，还是重新盖一座新的呀?? 一亿八千五百万是全部的费用还是指，内部装潢设施的钱呢? 这座球场到现在算是完工了吗?? 看上面的描述，感觉好像是不算完工的样子（桌椅的部份）， 然後，在座位的设计上是不是也不好，要squeezing才能坐进去?? 最後还有提到，still a luxury，是说，票价很贵吗?? 歹势，问一堆… --
