在英國(guó)當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間10月6日進(jìn)行了一場(chǎng)埃弗頓同曼聯(lián)的預(yù)備隊(duì)比賽，埃弗頓在比賽中1比3告負(fù)，李鐵甚至未能進(jìn)入預(yù)備隊(duì)的比賽大名單。而李鐵本人卻對(duì)自己在古迪遜公園球場(chǎng)的未來保持樂觀態(tài)度。日前，李鐵將回到國(guó)家隊(duì)參加下周中國(guó)同德國(guó)隊(duì)的友誼賽。報(bào)道如下： Li, who hasn't played for the Everton first team since January last year when he suffered a freak leg injury while on international duty, said he is close to full match fitness and relishes a return to the first team. While Li has been sidelined, he has watched Everton plummet to the foot of the Premiership table and also suffer early exits in the Champions League and UEFA Cup. 文中的sideline為"迫使退出比賽"的意思。如：He was sidelined with an ankle injury.（他因踝部受傷而被停止比賽。）sideline 還可作名詞使用，指"球場(chǎng)上的邊線"、"兼職、副業(yè)"等。詞組on the sidelines可表示"作為旁觀者；不參與"的意思。 （中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)站編）
