Chipper proud his path did not include PEDs 老大对於自己远离PEDs(可以增强表现的药物)感到骄傲 LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Braves third baseman Chipper Jones has said that suspicion will always surround him and all other players from the steroid era. But as he nears the end of his Hall of Fame-caliber career, Jones takes great pride in the fact that he conquered those temptations he once had to use performance-enhancing drugs. 在这个类固醇年代，勇士三垒手 Chipper Jones 认为(对於禁药的)怀疑会永远围绕着 现在的球员。但是在自己接近名人堂生涯的尾声，Jones 对於他战胜了使用表现增强 药物的诱惑感到无比骄傲。 "There was a temptation because a lot of the elite players at my position were using," Jones said. "They were winning Gold Gloves, MVPs, [getting] All-Star appearances and all of that stuff. That's disappointing. But I've always had the ability to step back and look at things objectively. At that point in my career, I didn't have kids. It's well-documented what steroid use will do later on down the road. I just was not willing to take that chance." "会有诱惑是因为很多和我一样好的精英选手也在用(药物)"，Jones说，"那群人拿到了 金手套、MVP、出席明星赛，这很令人沮丧啊，但是我一直都有能力远离(药物)和客观的 思考。在那时候我还没有小孩，我很明白用了类固醇以後身体会有什麽变化，我不愿意 变成那样子。" As Jones was earning his stripes at the Major League level during the 1990s and thinking about the possibility of joining those teammates and opponents who were using steroids, he thought about what the chemical would do to his health, his integrity and his parents, who had always warned him about the danger of cutting corners. 当 Jones 於1990年代在球场上奋斗，并且思考要不要加入那些使用类固醇的队友或 对手时，他思考这些化学物质会对自己的健康、人格、还有总是警告他不要走捷径的 父母产生什麽影响。 "I'm the last person to be passing judgment on what is right and what is wrong," Jones said. "I made enough mistakes in my life. "But [using PEDs] was just a line that I wasn't going to cross. "我是最不愿意跨过那道是非界线的人"，Jones 说，"我这一生中犯下许多错误，但是 (药物)是我永远不会去碰的东西。" "When I was coming along in the mid-to-late '90s, you knew other guys were doing it. But I didn't care what other people were putting in their bodies. My thinking was, 'You still have to put it over that plate, and if you hit it to me, I'm still going to catch it.'" "当孤独的处於九零年代中後期时，我知道每个人都在使用(药物)，但是我管他们把什麽 注射进自己身体里干麽。我自己的想法是，好球总是要通过本垒板的，而如果你把球往 我这边打，我还是会把它接起来。" When Jones began battling numerous injuries during his early 30s, there was reason to wonder if his body was breaking down because he had used steroids earlier in his career. His 1999 National League MVP season had been completed just one year after Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa had captivated the nation with a home run race that now stands as a black mark in the steroid era. 当 Jones 在他三十岁出头遭到一连串伤病打击时，关於他是否因为用药过度导致身体 承受不住的猜测似乎有些道理，他拿下国家联盟MVP的1999年，只比类固醇年代的一项 印记 -- McGwire 和 Sosa 那场紧张刺激的全垒打王争夺球季还晚一年。 But the suspicions surrounding Jones have never been overwhelming. His name was not included in the 2007 Mitchell Report, and he was not bothered three years ago, when it was learned the government had seized documents that included the names of some of the 104 players who had tested positive for illegal PEDs during what was intended to be anonymous testing in 2003. 但是围绕在 Jones 身边的传言终究只是传言。2007年的马歇尔报告上没有他的名字， 三年前的那份104人名单 -- 列有2003年药检没有通过球员的名册，也和他没有关系。 "I know there are 103 guys out there right now who are pretty [darn] nervous, and I'm not one of them," Jones told MLB.com at the time. "我知道现在还有103个人很紧张呢，不过啊我并不是其中一个。" Jones 在事情发生时对 MLB.com 的记者这样说。 Around the same time, Jones remembers a conversation in which his father said "nothing would be more disappointing than to learn" his son had used steroids or any other PED. 也在差不多同样的时间点，Jones 回忆起他父亲曾经说过，"没有什麽事情会比知道我儿子 曾经用过类固醇或其他药物更令我难过"。 "It's not like he flat-out asked me," Jones said. "He didn't come up to me and say, 'Did you do it?' It was him asking without asking. He was saying, 'Man, I can't think of anything more disappointing than to find out that you did it.' I was like, 'You don't have to worry about that.'" "他从来没有这样问过我"，Jones 说，"他从来没有走来然後问说，'你作过吗'，他会 那样说，其实想表达的是，'根本不用去担心(我用药)这种事'。" There might have been a time when Jones wondered what could have been had he opted to attempt to enhance his performance with steroids or other PEDs. But now, as he approaches his 40th birthday, he takes pride in the fact that he has paved his way toward Cooperstown without that kind of assistance. 一定也曾经有这样的时刻，Jones 疑惑自己该不该也使用类固醇或其他药物来提昇自己 的表现。但是当现在，也就是接近自己四十岁生日的时候，他对於自己在走往古伯镇的 路上没有依靠任何药物的帮忙而感到骄傲。 Jones has hit .304 with 454 homers, 526 doubles, 1,455 walks, a .402 on-base percentage and a .533 slugging percentage. A quick glance at these numbers proves he has had a pretty special career. But a closer examination shows just how special it has been. Jones 的生涯打击率是.304，还有454只全垒打，526只二垒安打，1455个保送，还有.402 的上垒率和.533的长打率。我们可以一眼看出这些数字证明了他有着不平凡的职业生涯， 而且更进一步的观察说明了这些数字有多不平凡。 Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Stan Musial and Lou Gehrig are the only other players in Major League history to record a career .300 batting average with at least 450 homers, 500 doubles, 1,400 walks, a .400 on-base percentage and a .500 slugging percentage. 在大联盟历史中，只有四位选手同时有至少450只全垒打、500只二垒安打、1400次保送、 外带3/4/5的打击三围，他们的名字是 Babe Ruth 、Ted Williams 、Stan Musial 和 Lou Gehrig 。 And Jones' 454 homers are the third most by a switch-hitter in Major League history, trailing only Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504), while his 1,561 RBIs are second only to Murray's 1,917 among men who hit from both side of the plate. 而 Jones 的生涯累计454只全垒打也是史上第三多的左右开弓打者，紧追在名人堂球员 Mickey Mantle (536) 和 Eddie Murray (504) 之後，1561分打点仅仅逊色於 Murray 的1917分，是第二多的左右开弓打者。 Like Ruth, Williams, Musial, Gehrig, Mantle and Murray, Jones also takes pride in the fact that he compiled those numbers naturally. 就像上面提到的那些球员一样，Jones 为自己纯天然的数据感到骄傲。 "All that really pays off, going out there and getting better than everybody else and working your tail off to get to a level that nobody else can get to," Jones said, while echoing the message his parents had preached throughout his childhood. "所有的坚持都会有回报，达到那些所有其他人都做不到的成就"，Jones 说，围绕着他 的是那些从小双亲所教育他的话语。 by Mark Bowman for MLB.com http://tinyurl.com/7uwzf9j --
