※ 引述《veronica4 (Veronica)》之铭言： : ANAHEIM - He had saved their season early and now they were looking for him t : validate their postseason. 　　先前拯救了球季，季後赛中洋基继续仰赖王建民 : For six-plus innings, Chien-Ming Wang did all he could to justify Joe Torre's : faith in handing him the ball on enemy soil for his first postseason start : until the Angels finally conquered his sinkerball with their speed and did hi : in. 　　 　　季後赛的第一次先发，王建民尽了全力，想证明托瑞安排他在客场先发的信心。 　　直到天使队以快腿克服了他的伸卡球，并让王退场。 : He had pitched magnificently up to then, belying his 25 years, in limiting : the rowdy Halos to two scratch runs, one of them unearned thanks to Alex : Rodriguez's muff of an easy leadoff bouncer in the sixth by Orlando Cabrera. : The next inning it would be Cabrera again to deliver the game-breaking blow - : The next inning it would be Cabrera again to deliver the game-breaking blow - : a clean two-run single to left-center, culminating a rally that had begun wit : Juan Rivera beating out a leadoff Baltimore chop to short and Steve Finley : reaching on a bunt in front of the plate that was thrown wide by Wang. 　　在退场前他都投得超棒，一点也不像只有25岁。 在王的压制下，只让天使队勉强得到两分。 其中一分非自责，因为 A-Rod於第六局时处理 Cabrera的滚地弹跳时漏接。 　　下半局又是因为 Cabrera左外野的一支安打跑回两分， 接着Rivera安打，Finley短打造成王的传球失误。 : In all, Wang made only three mistake pitches - Cabrera's hit, Rivera's : full-count, leadoff homer in the fifth and Bengie Molina's RBI single in the : sixth - but with the Yankees equally stifled by a quartet of Angel righthand\ : that was three too many. 　　总括来说，王只投坏了三颗球：Cabrera的安打、五局Rivera的全垒打、 六局Bengie带得点的安打。 但在洋基打线在天使队四任投手的强力压制下，这三颗失误球还是太多了。 : According to Joe Torre, there were a couple of reasons for choosing Wang to : start on the road. The Taiwanese righty's unflappable demeanor was a primary : factor, as was the Angels' unfamiliarity with his funky hesitation delivery. : More important than anything, however, was Torre's and Mel Stottlemyre's bel\ : that Wang had re-established himself as the quality starter he'd been the fi\ : half of the season, after he was summoned from Columbus in late April to : replace injured Jaret Wright. 　　托瑞表示，选王来先发有很多原因。 　　沉稳镇定的身手当然是主要原因，同时天使队也不熟悉他古怪的投球节奏。 　　然而其中最重要的是，托瑞跟投教都相信王已经恢复了先前从3A升上来取代 　　Wright後，那持续了半个球季的不凡身手。 : Wang was 6-3 with a 3.89 ERA at the All-Star break, and as Stottlemyre : acknowledged, "really saved us" given the battered and banged-up state of the : rotation. That's why when, right after the All-Star break, he suddenly : complained of a sore shoulder, it was as if the Yankee season was once again : lost. 　　 　　明星赛期间王的成绩六胜三败，防御率3.89。如同投教先前说过的「救世主 降临」，王拯救了这个被打得乱七八糟的投手轮值排序。 　　所以明星赛後，当王突然说肩膀酸时，洋基本季似乎又再次变得希望渺茫。 　 : "Looking back on it now," said Stottlemyre, "it would not surprise me in the : least if he merely slept on it the wrong way and what the MRI turned up was : what would show up on any pitcher's shoulder. He's clearly fine now and in hi : last couple of starts pitched like he had the first half." 　　投教说：「现在回想那时，要是当时他的肩膀酸只是因为睡觉姿势不对，或者 　　磁核共振图中显示的只是个投手常见的伤害，那我一点也不会觉得意外。因为 他现在明显已完全康复，而且在最近几次先发都投得跟一开始一样好。」 : Of course, it is a lot more than just being seemingly impervious to pressure : that brought Wang to his postseason moment last night. In the two years since : the Yanks first saw Wang the spring of '03, his velocity increased and he : perfected a sinker to the point where he's drawn comparisons to the most : notable Yankee sinkerballer of the last 30 years - Stottlemyre himself. 　　当然，除了无惧於强大的压力外，还有更多原因，让他昨晚能投这重要比赛。 　　洋基於2003年春季首度看到王建民。这两年间，他的球速增加了，而且也练成 　　伸卡球路，练到可以拿来跟洋基近30年来最伟大的伸卡投手(投教)相提并论。 : In his last three starts of the season, he had a total of just four fly ball : outs and last night he got 14 ground ball outs. What should have been his 15t : was his errant throw of the Finley bunt. Otherwise, the combination of his : sinker and his calm under pressure served him well in his postseason debut. : Undeterred by Robinson Cano's two-out error in the second that put Angels at : first and third, Wang retired Finley on a grounder to second. And in the fif\ : he shrugged off Rivera's leadoff homer by retiring the next three Angels on : groundouts. 　　近三次先发，王总共只有四颗飞球接杀出局，而昨晚有14个滚地出局。 　　要不是Finley短打造成王传球失误，还不知道会不会有第15个。 　　不然，以他的伸卡球与压力下的冷静，一定能让他的季後赛初登板投得很好。 　　 　　二出局後Cano失误让天使队分占一三垒，王让打者击出滚地，刺杀Finley於二垒。 　　五局被Rivesa打出阳春全垒打後，王用三个滚地连续血祭三名打者出局。 : "The sinkerball is what's made him," Stottlemyre said, "that and the added : velocity. Early on this spring, I'd kid him by telling him 'your middle name\ : not Ming, it's Down. It's Chien-DOWN Wang, don't forget that' and he'd smile : and nod. That's why I say he's aware of a lot more than he lets on." : Another example of that was when, in the first half of the season, Wang deci\ : he wanted to more closely imitate his idol, Hideo Nomo, and altered his : windup by lifting his arms higher over his head, as was the style of the : erstwhile Japanese pitching prodigy whose career has since flamed out. 　　 　　投教：「伸卡球是他最厉害的武器，还有附加的球速。春季开始时我还开玩笑 说『你的名字应该改成王掉民，不是王建民(因为伸卡往下掉？)』他笑着点点头。 　　那就是为啥我会说他总是懂得比他表现出来的还多。」 　　另个佐证就是，前半球季时，王决定要模仿他的偶像野茂。然後他把手臂抬得比平 　　常还要高过头一些，如同以前这个日本鬼才投手刚要开始大放光芒一样。 : "I said to him: 'What do you want to do, wind up where he is?'" Stottlemyre : said in reference to the fact that Nomo, after being released by the last-pl\ : pitching-desperate Tampa Bay Devil Rays, was toiling for the Yankees' : Triple-A farm team in Columbus. "He gave me a knowing smile and that was the : end of the high-arm windup." 　　投教：「我问说『你想投得跟野茂一样吗？』」当时野茂被球队释出，正在洋基的 　　3A农场中打拼。 　　他会心地微笑了一下，之後就不再用那样的姿势投球。 : Stottlemyre does not say if he sees a lot of himself in Wang, but there is : clearly a special bond between the teacher and pupil - to the point where, on : Tuesday, Stottlemyre was concerned at how Wang would handle his first : postseason press conference. 　　投教没有明说他在王的身上是不是看到了很多自己的影子，但师徒之间确实有种 　　特殊的牵绊。所以星期二的时候，投教特别担心王怎麽面对第一次季後赛的赛後 　　记者会。 : "When he came back, I asked him how it went and what he said," Stottlemyre : related. "He said he just thanked all his friends and the 23 million people i : Taiwan." 　　投教：「建民回来的时候，我问他情况如何，他说他只是谢谢他的朋友们以及台 　　湾两千三百万的同胞。」 : Left unsaid was the thanks Stottlemyre, Torre and the millions of Yankee : legions had for him. He lost his first playoff start last night, but everyone : around him knew that, without him, none of them would have been here in the : first place. : Originally published on October 6, 2005 　　说不出口的是投教、托瑞、还有几百万洋基球迷对於王建民的由衷感谢。 　　昨天晚上王也许输掉了他的第一场季後球赛，但是他身边的每个人都清楚了解， 　　要是没有他，大家现在根本就不会站在季後赛的球场上。 -- 最後一句有很深的意思　一句话很难表达 勉强翻出其中的一部分.. 波完才发现已经有很多高手波了　考虑良久还是上来让大家鞭　 总之是翻译练习　还请各位见谅　XDD --
