HIT COUNT
Book ID/图书代码： 00342515B79169
English Summary/英文概要： “I hit him so hard, the clash of helmets and pads sounded like a gunshot across the field. I crushed him with the hit, held on to him, and crushed him again when I slammed him into the ground . . . I had arrived.”
Arlo Brodie loves being on the football field, getting hit hard and hitting back harder. That’s where he belongs, leading his team to championships, becoming “Starlo” on his way to the top. Arlo’s dad cheers him on, but his mother quotes head injury statistics and refuses to watch. Arlo’s girlfriend tries to make him see the danger; when that doesn’t work, she calls time-out on their relationship. Even Arlo’s coaches begin to track his hit count, almost ready to pull him off the field. But Arlo’s not worried about collisions. The cheering crowds and the adrenaline rush convince Arlo that everything is OK--in spite of the pain, pounding, dizziness, and confusion.
In Hit Count, Chris Lynch explores the American love affair with contact sports and our attempts to come to terms with clear evidence of real danger.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “我用力的撞击，头盔和护具的声音仿佛枪击声穿过整片场地。我的一击也击垮了他，我紧抓住他，再一次的压住他，并将他摔向地面。。。。。。我成功了。”
阿洛•布罗迪喜欢驰骋在球场之上，被撞击，并以更强的力道回击。那是他应该在的位置，带领着他的队伍赢得冠军，成为“星”洛，攀登顶峰。他的父亲为他加油欢呼，但他的母亲却拒绝观看，引用了大量的脑部受伤的数据案例。阿洛的女友试图让他看到这项运动背后的危险所在，然而当她发现他毫不在意，她也为两人的关系迅速喊停。甚至连阿洛的教练也开始计算他的冲撞次数，随时准备让他离开赛场。然而阿洛却还不担心撞击。人群发出的欢呼声和肾上腺素带来的刺激感让阿洛坚信一切都很安全---除了那疼痛感、撞击声，晕眩以及困惑。
在《撞击次数》一书中，克里斯•灵池对美国的身体接触类体育项目进行了探究，以及我们是如何试着去承认与面对真正危机来临前的清晰感觉的。（DC）
