易建聯(lián)參加今年選秀大會已經(jīng)不是新聞了，不過隨著他距離NBA的日子越來越近，外界對他的評論也隨之增多，其中不乏有關(guān)他是否具備在NBA中站穩(wěn)腳跟的能力，那么作為“先行者”的姚明又是如何看待這位中國籃球新星的呢？

請看外電相關(guān)報(bào)道："He is very close to a player who is in the NBA like I would say Amare Stoudemire," Yao said. "Yi is taller. He is almost seven-foot. He has a very nice touch, very athletic. He has everything (to be) a great player. "

"I think he is a very good four. He can play a little bit of a five, sometimes.Good shot blocker. He just needs the right training, people who can tell him how to play on the NBA level."

在姚明看來，“易建聯(lián)的球風(fēng)非常接近NBA球員斯塔德邁爾，個(gè)子高，手感好，運(yùn)動能力強(qiáng) …… 易建聯(lián)還是一位非常優(yōu)秀的四號位球員，甚至還可以客串五號位，有時(shí)他也會是一位出色的蓋帽高手……”

由報(bào)道可知，籃球術(shù)語“蓋帽高手”相應(yīng)的英文表達(dá)是“good shot blocker”，“shot”在此指“投籃”。漢語中，進(jìn)攻隊(duì)員投籃或上籃時(shí)，將球舉到最高點(diǎn)或球剛離手的一剎那，防守隊(duì)員立即跳起將球打落，稱為“蓋帽”。英語中，“to block shot”（直譯：攔截進(jìn)球）較好的體現(xiàn)了“蓋帽”的含義。

日常運(yùn)用中，“蓋帽”做名次時(shí)可用“block”來形容，做動詞時(shí)可用“to block shot”來表達(dá)?！吧w帽高手”則是“good shot blocker”。

看下面一個(gè)例句：In his fifth season, Yao is 11th in the league with 26.4 points per game, the best among centers. With 10.4 rebounds per game and 1.6 blocks, Yao finally is entering the stratosphere of elite big men. （姚明在NBA第五個(gè)賽季里，以平均每場26.4分的成績位居聯(lián)盟球員得分榜第11位，成為NBA得分最高的中鋒，再加上每場10.4個(gè)籃板和1.6個(gè)蓋帽，姚明已步入NBA的頂級中鋒行列。）
