剛好有在NYT看到這篇文章， 有些問題想請教各位高手， 雖然不一定是football的問題啦， 但還請各位給點意見，謝謝。 ※ 引述《parabird (ABC)》之銘言： : 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. 請問，taken an early lead on apprehension 是什麼意思呀?? 前面提到他們第一次把季票全數賣出，那為什麼還要「擔憂」(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「傳球達陣」的意思嗎?? 用在這段話裡，是不是指經歷了重重困難的意思呀?? : 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 在這兒是啥意思?? : 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，是說不止以上這些人嗎?? : 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. 想請問一下，這個Superdome是以原來的球場修建，還是重新蓋一座新的呀?? 一億八千五百萬是全部的費用還是指，內部裝潢設施的錢呢? 這座球場到現在算是完工了嗎?? 看上面的描述，感覺好像是不算完工的樣子（桌椅的部份）， 然後，在座位的設計上是不是也不好，要squeezing才能坐進去?? 最後還有提到，still a luxury，是說，票價很貴嗎?? 歹勢，問一堆… --
