Sometimes there's a solid reason — the person was a bad fit for the team, or moved away for personal reasons, or was offered an opportunity too great to pass up.

有时出于一个充分的理由，比如这个人不适合整个团队，或者出于个人原因离开，又或者是得到了一个非常好的难以拒绝的机会。

I once tried a behind-the-back pass that (surprise!) ended up in the hands of a person on the sidelines.

有一次我背后传球，球(竟然！)落在了边线上一个人的手中。
