※ 引述《wonders320 (一飞冲天)》之铭言： 试翻, 英文不好很是辛苦... : Chien-Ming Wang goes back to his sinker and lifts the Nationals to 3-1 : victory over Cubs 王建民寻回了他的伸卡球, 并且带领国民以3-1击败小熊. : CHICAGO — When Chien-Ming Wang returned to a major league pitching mound, his : right shoulder diminished even after two years of sweat and toil, he no longer : trusted what had made him one of the best in the world. He lost conviction in : his unrelenting style, in throwing the pitch — and only that pitch — that : thudded off bats like medicine balls. His battered shoulder changed him, and : he responded with more change. 即便历经了两年的汗水与辛劳, 重新站上大联盟投手丘的王建民, 他的右肩似以孱弱, 他不再相信曾经让他立足於世界顶尖的那些东西. 他丧失了他的信念- 那强势的球风, 那个几乎像是药球般轰然撞上球棒的投球. 一再遭受打击的肩膀改变了他, 而他却以更 多的改变来面对这件事情. : Tuesday night at Wrigley Field, Wang ditched his attempt at reinvention and : crafted perhaps the most promising game of this Washington Nationals season. : In a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs, Wang carried a no-hitter into the sixth : inning, allowing only an infield single in his six scoreless innings. In his : third start since returning from a torn capsule in his right shoulder and the : massive surgery it required, Wang earned his first major league win since June : 28, 2009. 周二晚上, 王抛开了他那改变的意图, 并且精心的打造了一场在华盛顿国民的球季中, 最具有说服力的比赛. 在这以 3-1击退芝加哥小熊的比赛中, 王延续了无安打比赛直到 第六局, 才被打出了一只内野一垒安打, 并且没有失分. 这是告别了右肩的撕裂伤以及 大量手术後的第三场比赛, 王建民得到了2009年六月28之後的第一场胜投. : “For me, it means a lot, because it’s been two years,” Wang said through : an interpreter. “It’s not a short time.” " 对我来说很重要, 因为已经两年了. " 王建民透过翻译人员表示" 不只是一点点时间 呀. " : Wang’s performance hinged on him finding what made him so dominant in his best : seasons. He largely abandoned, to great effect, any pitch other than his sinker : , the pitch he threw insistently at his peak, the weapon made him one of the : best pitchers in baseball. Wang threw 66 of out of 81 pitches. The results were : familiar — he recorded 11 groundball outs, Cubs batters drilling sinkers into : the dirt in front of home plate. 王建民寻回了在生涯最佳球季中, 那让他曾经主宰着一切的东西, 而有了今天的表现. 那坚定不移投出的伸卡球, 让他几乎抛弃了其它的球种, 也让他晋身最顶级球员的行列. 王在81球中, 投出了66个伸卡球, 而结果也是大家熟悉的 -11个滚地出局, 迫使小熊队的 打者们把球推入了本垒板前方的尘土之中. : “I was right when I told you I expected him to be better,” Manager Davey : Johnson said. “I even watched him warming up, his ball really had some good : sink. That’s him.” " 我说我觉得他会变得更利害, 是不是很有先见之明? " 教练Davey Johnson如是说. " 我甚至观看他暖身呢, 那就是他, 有着很好的沉球. " : Pitching coach Steve McCatty implored Wang this week to throw more sinkers. The : sinker had lost velocity and bite through his shoulder operation and recovery, : and Wang pitched as though he believed one pitch could no longer sustain him. : He sprinkled in more sliders and change-ups. But what remained of Wang’s : sinker, McCatty insisted, was still a pitch capable of making major league : hitters hit groundballs. 投手教练Steve McCatty要求王建民在这星期使用更多的伸卡球. 他的伸卡球在肩膀的手 术及复原中, 失去了些许速度跟威胁, 结果王建民就投得好像他的伸卡球已经不再能倚 靠. 他夹杂了更多的滑球跟变速球. 但是McCatty却坚信王建民的伸卡球, 仍旧会让大联 盟打者一再击出滚地球. : In Colorado this weekend, McCatty chatted with Rockies first baseman Jason : Giambi, a teammate of Wang’s during his best years with the New York Yankees, : and brought up Wang’s slider. “Was it good,” McCatty asked, “or was it a : little fuzzy?” 这周末在克罗拉多, McCatty跟落矶的一垒手, 也是王建民以前在洋基的队友Jason Gimabi闲聊到王的滑球. "他投得好吗? 还是说有点难以控制? " : “A little fuzzy,” Giambi replied. “But I didn’t see it too much.” Because : Wang threw so many sinkers. " 有点难搞, " Giambi回答道. "不过我很少看到滑球, 因为王都一直投伸卡." : Tuesday night, Wang threw almost all his sinkers between 89 and 92 mph, : occasionally touching 93 on the radar gun. In 2006, the season he finished : second in Cy Young voting, Wang often threw mid-90s sinkers, but he averaged : 93 mph with the pitch. Between starts, Wang worked on throwing a better sinker, : focusing on his release point and staying on top of the ball as he released it. : “It almost feels the same,” Wang said. “The sinkerball was sinking.” : After five innings, as the groundballs piled up, Wang still had not allowed a : hit. Ian Desmond saved a potential single in the fifth, when Tyler Colvin shot : a groundball through Wang’s legs and Desmond made one of several dazzling play : s, a slick stop behind second base on a wicked hop. 周二晚上, 王建民的伸卡球速几乎都在 89 到 92 英哩之间, 有时候会跑到 93. 在2006年, 就是他获得赛扬奖选票第二名那一年, 他通常可以丢到95 英哩上下, 不过 伸卡的均速大概是93. 在比赛开始前, 王仍然在研究如何把伸卡球投得更好. 他专注於 他的放球点并且维持着最好的投出状况. " 几乎有一样的感觉," 王说 " 沉球会沉." 五局之後, 累积了一堆滚地球, 王建民还没有被打出任何安打. Ian Desmond在五局没收 了一只可能的安打, 是Tyler Colvin打的一只穿过王建民腿的滚地球. 这是Desmond今天 众多的好球之一, 一个二垒後方弹跳球的漂亮拦截. : The Nationals, though, still had not scored a run off Cubs starter Matt Garza, : a problem fixed with a sudden, powerful spasm of offense. With one out, Michael : Morse crushed a home run over the batter’s eye in center field, into the : section of bleachers attached to the old-school scoreboard in center. It was : Morse’s 20th homer of the year, and maybe his longest. The fans who buy : tickets there do not bring their gloves to their park. 国民队也被小熊的先发投手Matt Garza封锁住. 一次攻击的强力爆发一下解除了这个状 况. 一出局的情况下, Micha Morse 打出了中间方向的全垒打, 飞到了没有雨棚的看台 区, 就在旧式记分板的附近. 这是Morse今年的20 号全垒打, 也许是飞最远的. 那边的 球迷没有带他们的手套进场. : “It’s up there with my top ones that felt good,” Morse said. “But as long : as it goes over, I don’t care how far.” " 球飞到那边是很爽啦, 可能是今年最赞的, " Morse说 "不过既然喷出去了, 我才不 管有多远." : Garza had dominated the Nationals — he struck out nine in six innings — but : Morse’s homer seemingly lifted some kind of lid. Jayson Werth smashed a single : down the third base line. Jonny Gomes, starting for the third straight game, : followed with a home run of his own, a high drive that snuck into the first row : in left field. Garza也压制了国民队, 六局就三振了九个人. 但是Morse的全垒打似乎改变了局面. Jayson Werth打出了三垒方向的安打, 然後连续第三场先发的Jonny Gomes, 也打了一支 飞得很高的全垒打, 最後落入了左外野第一排座位. : Wang walked to the mound in the sixth armed with a 3-0 lead and a no-hitter. : "I wasn’t thinking that much about it,” Wang said. “I just wanted to get the : sinker going.” 王在六局回到投手丘, 带着3-0的领先和无安打的表现. "我没想很多," 王说 "我只希望 伸卡球投得好." : Tony Campana led off, pinch-hitting for Garza. He bunted one pitch foul, then : whacked two others foul, building a 2-2 count. Another sinker, and another : groundball, laced to the right side of the infield. Morse took a quick step to : his right and dove. The ball deflected off his mitt and trickled behind him. : Wang still sprinted to cover first, and second baseman Danny Espinosa scooped : the ball off the dirt on the run. Espinosa buzzed a running throw to Wang, : hitting him in stride just as he reached the base. If a hitter other than : Campana had been running, Espinosa’s fabulous play would have preserved : Wang’s no-hitter. Instead, Campana beat him by a step, and the Cubs had a : "one’ in their hit column. Tony Campana 代替投手Garza上场打击. 他短打了一颗界外, 又挥出了两颗界外, 使的 球数来到2-2. 接着的一个伸卡球造成的又一个滚地球, 刺向了内野右侧方向. Morse 快步向他的右边常试接球. 但是球还是砸歪了他的手套, 跑向他的後方. 王建民仍旧 快跑到一垒补位, 而二垒手Danny Espinosa从尘土中捞起来球, 边跑着边传给了王. 王建民几乎与打者同时到达垒包, 如果打者不是Campana, Espinosa的美技演出也许 可以延续王建民的无安打表现. 总之, Campana以一步之差胜出, 而小熊在安打栏位中, 得以写上了 "1". : Wang stranded Campana on second base with three consecutive outs. He threw a : sinker with his final pitch, 93 mph, and Blake DeWitt hit a groundball to : second base. Wang trudged back into the dugout and grabbed a bat, ready to hit, : but Johnson wanted to protect his shoulder — he said afterward he would have : pulled Wang even if he still had the no-hitter. He shook Wang’s hand and told : him, “Good job.” 王建民用三个连续出局数让Campana止步於二垒. 他的最後一颗93英哩的伸卡球, 让 Blake DeWitt击出了二垒方向的滚地球. 王缓步回到了休息区, 并且拿起了球棒, 准备 上场打击. 但是Johnson希望能保护他的肩膀. 他说就算维持无安打, 他还是会换下王. 他握了握王的手, 对王说 "干的好!" : Since the Nationals signed Wang in February 2010, they had waited for a night : like this. “Light years,” McCatty said, asked how far Wang had come. : Afterward, about 75 Taiwanese fans lined up in the Wrigley Field concourse, so : dense and large in number they created a surreal traffic jam as fans left the : park. As he sat in the clubhouse, Wang could hear them chanting: “Chien-Ming : Wang! Chien-Ming Wang!” 自从2010年二月国民队与王建民签约以来, 他们一直在等待这样的一个晚上. 当McCatty被问说王到底跨越了多长的距离才到达今天的地步, 他说 "好几光年阿!" 之後, 大概有75个台湾球迷在Wrigley Field的走道上列队, 几乎瘫挥了球迷离场的交通 路线. 当王建民坐在休息室里面, 他应该还听得到他们在喊着 "王建民! 王建民!" : The Washington Post http://tinyurl.com/3sdhgxw --
