But at least Chicago won 182 games in those seasons, the franchise's most successful two-year run since 1937-38, and made back-to-back postseason appearances for the first time since 1906-08. 小熊迷会觉得很难接受球队在2007、2008年连续两年在季後赛被对手横扫，但至少在那两 个球季里小熊共赢了182场比赛，这是自从1937-38年以後小熊打得最好的两年，而且还是 自从1906-08年以後首次连续两年打进季後赛。 The franchise still was left seeking its first World Series appearance since 1945 and its first championship since 1908, though. To help end those droughts, the Cubs decided their big addition would be mercurial Milton Bradley, who cost $30 million and was supposed to provide more balance to a predominantly righthanded-hitting lineup. 这支球队还再寻求在1945年後首次打入世界大赛的机会、还有1908年创立至今的第一座总 冠军。为了解决目前这些窘境，小熊重点挖角来了个性捉摸不定的Milton Bradley，他要 价30M美金并预期可以让清一色是右打的打线均衡一点。 (第一句的franchise这个字我查过字典却还不大知道怎麽翻 > <，但这个字常碰到，烦请 好心的大大告知，感激不尽。) Instead, Bradley had his worst season since 2002 and damaged clubhouse chemistry, complaining throughout the year. When he criticized the team in September, the Cubs suspended him for the final two weeks of the season. His play and behavior were the most disappointing aspects of a disappointing season for Chicago, which finished 83-78 and swiftly fell out of contention after the all-star break. 但恰恰相反的，Bradley打出他自2002年以来最差的成绩而且为队上带来了不好的化学作用 ，他发了一整年的牢骚。在九月他又公开批评球队之後，小熊在球季末的最後两个星期将 他禁赛。在这个令人失望的球季，他在场上的表现和言行举止成了令小熊最失望的事，他 们只得到83胜78败，在明星赛後很快就失去竞争力。 It was the third straight winning year for a franchise that hadn't accomplished that feat since 1970-72, which is a step forward, but much more was expected after the Cubs opened the season with a $135 million payroll, the third-highest in baseball. 今年是自从1970-72年之後这个球队首次连续三年胜率过半，虽然是一大进步但对於今年开 季时团队薪资高达1亿3千5百万、排名大联盟第三的小熊来说，他们被期待的远远不仅於此 。 (winning year这个词我在这里翻成胜率过半，我不大确定有错的话请告诉我。) The most significant Cubs news of the year came off the field, however, when on Oct. 27 the Ricketts family completed its $845 million purchase of the club, as well as Wrigley Field and 25 percent of Comcast SportsNet Chicago from the Tribune Co. Sam Zell had plunged the media conglomerate into bankruptcy after buying it in April 2007, though the team wasn't directly affected. The sale topped the major league record of $660 million paid for the Red Sox and related assets in 2002. 然而，小熊最大条的新闻却是来自场外，10月27号Ricketts家族以8亿4千5百万买下了小熊 队、Wrigley球场、还有论坛集团手上百分之二十五的Comcast芝加哥运动网股权。2007年4 月前老板Sam Zell接管後，却让整个媒体集团陷入破产，虽然小熊队并没有受到直接的影 响。整个交易的金额超越了2002年红袜及其相关资产以6亿6千万美元价码出售的大联盟纪 录。 How much time the Ricketts family will give general manager Jim Hendry to get the Cubs back on track remains unclear, as does how Hendry will accomplish that task. Chicago dropped from first in the National League in scoring in 2008 to 10th last season, and has only one projected regular who will be younger than 30 in 2010. The rotation has holes to fill with Rich Harden declaring free agency and Ted Lilly recovering from shoulder surgery, and the bullpen is unsettled as well. Ricketts家族会愿意给GM Jim Hendry多少时间来重整球队还有Hendry计画如何做好他的工 作到目前为止都还不明朗。小熊的得分能力从2008年的全国联第一掉到今年的第十名，而 且在2010年的预测先发名单里只有一个球员小於30岁。先发轮值圈因为Rich Harden变成自 由球员和Ted Lilly还在从肩部手术中复原出现了缺口。牛棚的情况也还不甚清楚。 After contributing Jake Fox and Micah Hoffpauir, who combined for 21 homers, and surprise 12-game winner Randy Wells last season, the farm system doesn't appear to have any noteworthy reinforcements to offer for 2010. However, Cubs minor league talent is on the rise after a period of decline marked by weak drafts and the departure of top prospects in trades for veterans. 上一季，有Jake Fox和Miscah Hoffpauir两人合计贡献了21发全垒打还有Randy Wells上演 让人惊艳的12胜之後，2010年农场似乎没办法再提供任何明显的补强了。虽然如此，从前 因为失败的选秀还有拿新秀去交易老将而下滑一段时间的农场潜力却有改善。 Recent first-round picks Josh Vitters (2007) and Brett Jackson (2009) have slugged their way through the lower minors. Five pitchers drafted in 2008 appeared in Double-A last summer, including the system's best three mound prospects: Andrew Cashner, Jay Jackson and Chris Carpenter. The Cubs also are doing better work in Latin America and the Far East, as evidenced by shortstop phenoms Starlin Castro and Hak-Ju Lee. 这几年用第一轮选秀权选进来的球员Josh Vitters(2007)和Brett Jackson(2009)都通过 了在低阶小联盟的考验。今夏，就有五位在2008年时选上的投手在2A登板，其中包括了三 位小熊最好的投手新秀：Andrew Cashner、Jay Jackson、Chris Carpenter。另外从签下 游击新秀Starlin Castro和Lee Hak-Ju可以看出，小熊在拉美和远东的球探工作也做得比 过去更好了。 Most of Chicago's best farmhands are at least a couple of years away from making an impact in the major leagues, so the Cubs may have to transition from trying to contend to trying to reload if they aren't able to quickly turn their fortunes around in 2010. That would mean more waiting for fans whose patience already has been stretched thin. 小熊农场里最好的新秀大部分离升上大联盟至少还有好几年的时间，所以如果财务状况没 有在2010年就迅速好转，小熊就必须牺牲竞争力来养精蓄锐。这意味着那些耐性快被磨光 的小熊迷们必须再继续等下去。 (这是从BA网站上翻过来的文章。有错请各为大大们指证，感恩。) --
