※ 引述《veronica4 (Veronica)》之铭言： : http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-spwang1005,0,1936439.story? : coll=ny-homepage-bigpix2005 : Surprising rookie poised 令人惊讶的菜鸟已蓄势待发 : BY ANTHONY RIEBER : STAFF CORRESPONDENT : October 5, 2005 : ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Joe Torre's surprising choice of Chien-Ming Wang to start : tonight's Game 2 of the American League Division Series means we have to : dispense with some business before discussing the rookie's chances against the : Angels: 美联分区季後赛第二场将由王建民主投，Joe Torre 这令人意外的抉择， 意味着我们在切入这菜鸟对上天使有多大胜算前，有几点必须要先厘清。 : It's pronounced "Wong." Not "Wang". Too bad nobody told the public-address : announcer, who got it wrong in pregame introductions. 发音是「Wong」，不是「Wang」。只可惜没人跟那个每次开赛介绍球员的 现场播报员说。 : Most of the Yankees call him "Wang" as sort of a locker-room joke. "What up, : Wang?" is Derek Jeter's favorite hello to the 25-year-old, who is from Tainan, : Taiwan, and speaks little English. He knows enough to laugh at the captain's : kidding, though. 洋基大多数的球员都叫他「Wang」(译注：美俚语「老二」的意思)，算是 一种更衣室大家关起门开的玩笑话吧。「What's up Wang?」(译注：双关 语，「怎麽样呀」及「什麽翘起来啦」) ，是 Derek Jeter 对这位来自 台湾台南，只会说一点点英文的25岁的年轻人，最爱打的招呼。但幸好他 还知到笑点。 : The Angels don't know much about him, having never faced him, and that's one of : the reasons Torre has gambled and tapped Wang instead of Shawn Chacon, who will : start Game 4 Saturday at Yankee Stadium if it's needed. 天使没对上他，对他却还不甚了解。而这正是令 Torre 下这笔不用 Shawn Chacon 却用王的赌注。如果还有第四战，Shawn Chacon 则将在星期六 ( 美国时间) 在纽约主场先发。 : "First of all, Wang hadn't pitched against this club," Torre said before last : night's series opener at Angel Stadium. "Was that totally the determining : factor? Not necessarily. 「首先呢，王从未面对这支球队」，Torre 在作客天使的系列战第一场开战 的昨晚，这样说着。「这是整体的决定性原因吗？并不尽然。」 : "Wang had been pitching well lately; so has Chacon. Wang seems to have : re-established himself as the pitcher he was before he got hurt. That was : probably the thing that carried the most weight: He was a main part of our : rotation for the longest time." 「王最近投得不错，Chacon 也投得不错。但王似乎重新唤回了他身为投手， 那受伤前的自我。这应当是最重要的因素：他是当我们先发轮值要角，当得最 久的一个。」 : The wisdom of Torre's decision will be apparent at around 1 a.m. tomorrow when : Game 2 hits the late innings. Not that Torre is worried. Wang has demonstrated : a coolness under fire that he finds appealing; in the manager's mind, it was : just a matter of whether Wang was going to start Game 2 or 4. Torre 作抉择的智慧将会在明天约早上一点左右，当第二战近落幕时近明朗化 。Torre 却一点不担心。因王每次都能在场上垒包正烫着烧时，展现他最冷静 的态度。在总教练的心目中，这只是将王排在第二场或第四场先发的差别。 : That Torre chose Wang over Chacon, who was 4-1 with a 2.23 ERA in September, : and other candidates, such as Jaret Wright and 10-0 Aaron Small, shows how far : the rookie has come since making his major-league debut April 30. Wang went 8-5 : with a 4.02 ERA in 18 games (17 starts) despite missing two months with right : shoulder inflammation. 如今 Torre 不选九月战绩四胜一败防御率 2.23 的 Chacon，也不选其他如 Wright 及十胜零败的 Small 这些候选人。证明了这菜鸟自四月30日，他的 大联盟处女秀，所达成的旅程碑。王纵然因右肩伤势缺赛二个月，却在18场 出赛(17场先发)中缴出了八胜五败防御率 4.02 的成绩。 : At the time he was injured, in early July, the Yankees feared Wang would be out : for the rest of the season. He returned Sept. 8 and went 2-2, 4.36 the rest of : the way. He started Friday in a 5-3 loss at Fenway Park, allowing the Red Sox : five runs (three earned) in 62/3 innings with a season-high six walks. 七月上旬，当初他受伤时，洋基悲观的认为王这整季应该是报销了。但他九 月八日回到球场，一路拿下二胜二败防御率 4.36 的战绩。他星期五在红袜 主场在六又2/3局里被得了五分 (三分自责分) 以五比三吞下了败投，并且有 本季新高的6次保送。 : Nonetheless, Torre said he was impressed with his "demeanor" in the : pressure-packed atmosphere. 虽然如此，Torre 依旧对王在面对充满压力的气氛下，所保持的「风度」感 到印象深刻。 : He wasn't the only one. 而他不是唯一 (那麽觉得) 的一人。 : "He's done a great job, especially earlier in the year before he got hurt," : Jeter said. "He was pitching as well as anyone we had. He came back and he's : doing the same thing. He's fun to play behind because he throws a lot of : strikes. Especially on the infield, because he usually throws a lot of ground : balls." 「他投得很好，特别是在今年球季初受伤前」，Jeter 说道。「他投得跟我 们现有的任何一名 (投手) 一样好。而现在他回来了，并持续着投出一场场 的好球。有他主投，我们这些在後面的人轻松多了，因为他总是会丢出好球 。特别是内野部份，因为他通常都会丢出很多的滚地球。」 : With his heavy sinker, Wang is an extreme ground-ball pitcher; he fielded nine : comebackers three starts ago against Baltimore. He has also shown a knack for : pitching deep into games with low pitch counts. He's averaging about 62/3 : innings and 90 pitches per start. 在他的伸卡球之下，王是个顶尖的滚地球型投手。他先前对金莺队时，自己 助杀了九球。他也可很节省球数的消化长局数，平均先发六又2/3局，用球数 约 90 个。 : "I've got a good team behind me and a lot of good players," Wang said yesterday, : speaking English because the Yankees, oddly, did not supply a translator. : "I'm not nervous." 「在我身後的是一支伟大的球队及很多的强者」因为洋基很莫名的，并没有 安排翻译，王昨天用英文说着，「我不紧张」。 --
