Tom Brady announced his retirement Tuesday, bringing an end to the most remarkable playing career the National Football League has ever seen. After 22 seasons during which Brady racked up five Super Bowl wins, three MVP awards, 15 Pro Bowl selections and a slew of career records that may never be broken, the legendary quarterback's resume and accomplishments speak for themselves. But beyond the numbers, his unparalleled flair for late-game heroics and overcoming impossible obstacles also produced countless unforgettable memories. Many of those seemingly impossible obstacles weren't just built by an opposing defense or a dwindling game clock, but by Mother Nature. The legend of Brady's playoff heroics began during his very first playoff game. In the very last game ever played at Foxboro Stadium in 2002, heavy snowfall blanketed the field and all but shrouded any view of the field. After the Patriots' offense struggled to move the ball in the first half, Brady orchestrated two scoring drives in the fourth quarter to dig New England out of a 13-3 deficit and tie the game with 27 seconds left. While Patriots' kicker Adam Vinatieri had to kick away the snow to find a patch of grass for his kick, TV viewers at home couldn't even see the ball go through the uprights because the snow was falling so heavily. In overtime, Brady led the offense on a masterful eight-minute drive that concluded with another clutch Vinatieri game-winning field goal. And, oh yeah, and there was also that Tuck Rule controversy. In another wintry AFC Divisional Playoff game, the Patriots hosted the Tennessee Titans in the coldest game ever played at Gillette Stadium in 2009. Along with temperatures topping out at 4 degrees Fahrenheit at kickoff, a persistently frigid wind sent AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures below zero. The first 10,000 fans in attendance were given free hand-warmers while the stadium played a video of a roaring fire on the scoreboard in a bid to create some virtual warmth. But on the field, Brady didn't seem to notice the cold. Maybe it was because he had ice in his veins. He completed 21 passes for more than 200 yards to go with a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, he once again marched the offense down the field to set up a game-winning Vinatieri field goal, propelling New England toward yet another Super Bowl.

當你在閱讀這段描述一位傳奇運動員職業生涯的文章時，看到文中使用「可能永遠不會被打破（may never be broken）」來修飾這些 records，你會如何根據前後文提到的「22 個賽季」和「奪冠次數」，來推敲出這裡的 records 指的是「實體唱片」還是「比賽數據紀錄」呢？

語境判讀與詞彙應用
這題的核心在於理解 "a slew of" 這個片語，它在英文中用來形容「大量的」或「許多的」。搭配後方的 "career records"（職業生涯紀錄），這句話完整表達了湯姆．布瑞迪（Tom Brady）擁有一系列難以被後人超越的高成就。選項 (C) 提到的 "lots of amazing records" 正是這段描述最貼切的意譯（paraphrase），將艱澀的字詞轉化為直觀的描述。
