　　When 9-year-old Alayna Adams threw the first pitch at the Tampa Bay Rays game on Thursday night, she had no idea her father, deployed in the army, was the one catching the ball.

　　当九岁的阿莱恩-亚当斯周四晚在坦帕湾光芒队球场投出第一掷时，她没有想到她在部队服役的父亲会是接住球的人。

　　Earlier in the day, Alayna thought she was in trouble when she and her mother had to meet with the principal of her school, Westlake Christian School, according to the Tampa Bay Times. They were then told they had been chosen from a group of military families to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Socks game at Tropicana Fieldon Thursday night.

　　据《坦帕湾时报》称，当天早些时间，阿莱恩和她的母亲被通知要去会见她的学校西湖基督学校校长，当时小姑娘认为自己肯定是有麻烦了。随后，她们被告知从军人家属中被选中，将在纯品康纳室内球场举行的坦帕湾光芒队对波士顿红袜队比赛中掷出比赛的第一个球。

　　Neither mother nor daughter knew that the man behind the catcher"s mask was Army Lieutenant Colonel Will Adams, who has been stationed in Afghanistan for most of the past two years. They thought he was getting home next Monday, but Will actually arrived home Wednesday and stayed at a hotel to keep the secret devised by the United Service Organizations and the Rays, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

　　而母亲和孩子都不知道，在接球手面具后的人是陆军中校威尔-亚当斯，他在过去两年的大部分时间驻扎在阿富汗。据《坦帕湾时报》称，她们以为他会在下周一回家，但实际上威尔在周三抵达家中，并在由全美服务组织和光芒队提供的秘密酒店居住。

　　Before Alayna threw the ball, a prerecorded video of Will offering good luck played on the Jumbotron. "Stay focused, throw the ball and I love you," the army dad told his daughter, notes Tampa's WTSP.

　　根据坦帕的WTSP电视台报道，在阿莱恩投球前，在电视大屏幕上放映了威尔录好的视频，来祝她们好运。“集中注意力，投球，我爱你，” 这个军人父亲告诉他女儿。

　　After the pitch, the man dressed in Rays gear at home plate lifted up his mask. That is when Alayna saw he wasn't an MLB player but her dad, and she ran into his arms.

　　阿莱恩投出球之后，在本垒身着光芒队队服的男人摘掉面具。这时，阿莱恩发现他不是全美职棒大联盟的队员，而是她爸爸，她投进他的怀抱中。

　　The surprise made for a super sweet reunion between father and daughter, and footage of the touching moment later went viral online.

　　这个惊喜造就了父女重逢的超级甜蜜，而那些触动人心的镜头随后在网上疯传。

　　When asked what she first thought when she saw her dad, Alayna told WTSP, "I don't really know. I thought I was dreaming."

　　当被问及见到父亲的首先想到什么时，阿莱恩告诉WSTP电视台：“我不知道。我觉得像做梦一样。”
