初次翻译 有错误请多包涵 也请高手们指正!~谢谢 :) ※ 引述《mohicans (Last Of The Mohicans)》之铭言： : Four Surgeries Later, Hong-Chih Kuo Dominating for Dodgers : 7/02/2010 12:00 PM ET By Jeff Fletcher : Hong-Chih Kuo has not allowed a hit to a left-handed batter all season. Zero. : Right-handers haven't fared much better, hitting .175. The numbers say that : the Dodgers' lefty should be an All-Star, but it's no secret that pitchers : who neither start nor finish games have the odds stacked against them when it : comes to All-Star appearances. 自从小小郭搬去火星住後 地球上的左打者就没从他手中打过安打 而右打者面对他也只有没好到哪去的.175打击率 但是天知地知你知我知独眼龙也知道 小小郭的成绩绝对有明星赛资格 可惜他的定位要在明星赛露脸 还真的有点难 : That's OK with Kuo. He's been bucking the odds for years. : Kuo's mere presence in the Dodgers bullpen is a daily reminder about how : precious -- and precarious -- a big league career is. 由於小小郭这几年努力奋斗对抗伤势的困扰 所以每天平安的出现对於躲人的牛棚来说 是如此珍贵可是也存在着不稳定性 : "We call him, affectionately, The Cockroach, because you just can't kill : him," Dodgers trainer Stan Conte told FanHouse. "The medical people here : understand what he goes through every night. It's a really good story." : Yet, it's a story that hasn't made its way too far from Dodger Stadium. : That's partly because Kuo, a native of Taiwan, speaks limited, although : serviceable English, and partly because, to be blunt, he's just a setup man. : Still, it's a story -- one involving four elbow surgeries and a mysterious : case of Steve Blass Disease -- that you ought to hear. It's a story that : Phillies manager Charlie Manuel ought to hear before he makes his final : selections for the All-Star team. 躲人的防护员Stan Conte说''我们叫他小强 因为他打不死'' ''不是每个人都能忍受受伤後 那空虚寂寞觉得冷的夜晚'' ''其实他背後有着精彩的传奇故事'' 这位从台湾来的台湾人 讲着一口流利的英文 虽然经历过四次大手术 却有着鬼神般的成绩 但就只因为他是个setup man 作者认为费城人的经理 CharlieDisease 在决定明星赛最终的人选前应该先听听他的故事 : "He epitomizes the ultimate player," Conte said, when asked to make a sales : pitch on behalf of Kuo. "Every player gets hurt. Every player has slumps and : every player gets down. He quietly got himself back up and got back out : there, and so often we don't see that. Whether it's an injury or a slump, how : you handle adversity makes you what you are. And he's handled it better than : anybody I've ever seen. And that's saying a lot, because I've seen a lot of : stuff." Conte说'' 每个球员都会经历受伤 走下坡或是低潮'' ''他对这处理的很好 不是每个人都能像他一样 沉稳的接受 然後努力的再站起来'' ''我从未看过像他这样的球员 从他身上我看到很多很棒的特质''(羞) : Kuo, 28, was just shy of his 18th birthday when the Dodgers' Asian scouting : department signed him in June 1999. He came to the U.S. and started pitching : in the California League in 2000. He lasted just three innings before blowing : out his elbow, which led to the ligament replacement procedure commonly known : as Tommy John surgery. : Or, for Kuo, Tommy John surgery No. 1. : He pitched briefly in 2001, but hadn't recovered fully from the surgery so he : had to have another Tommy John surgery in 2003. He pitched three games in : 2004 and then finally got in a full season in '05, reaching the big leagues : after pitching fewer than 100 combined innings in the minor leagues. He'd : spent more time rehabbing than pitching. : Kuo would have two more elbow surgeries, and a rotator cuff injury, over the : next few years. Conte, who joined the Dodgers after the 2006 season, said : when he met Kuo he was a mess of physical problems and self-doubt. 这段开始讲他小郭从他进大联盟的历程及伤痛史 (何时进大柠檬 动手术之类 相信版友们都很清楚 不再赘述~) : "The pain in his elbow was constant throughout the years," Conte said. "He : was physically and mentally drained from always trying and always having it : hurt. There were plenty of times that he thought about quitting, and he had : good justification for quitting. Several times he said, like many players, : 'Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm done.' Conte说''手肘的疼痛可是会持续个整年 对於精神与身体上是种很大的折磨'' ''而你要想尽办法去忍住 或是忘掉疼痛 才能继续投下去'' ''其实有好几次小小郭可以就像许多球员一样 有正当的理由告诉自己'' ''也许就这样吧! 棒球生涯结束了~'' : "We kept saying 'one more day,' and we've been saying it for three years." : As if all that was not enough, last year added a psychological problem to all : his physical ones. Kuo was rehabbing from yet another stint on the DL in May : when he was throwing in the bullpen, beyond the left field fence at Dodger : Stadium. Balls suddenly started flying from the bullpen onto the field. Kuo : had lost all control of his pitches. : The problem continued when he was rehabbing at the Dodgers' training complex : in Arizona. Kuo threw an errant pitch that hit a trainer ... who was walking : on another field. ''我们不断的要他跟自己说 再多撑一天就好'' ''就这样一撑竟撑了三年'' 而在复建最後一年还多出现了心理上的问题 小小郭投的球突然开始完全失控 复健期间甚至曾经失投砸到正在旁边走路的trainer (翻到这边发现 干!~有洋葱) : Pitchers throughout the years have had similar mental blocks that affected : their ability to throw strikes. Steve Blass, a successful Pirates pitcher in : the early '70s, is the most infamous victim, which is why a sudden, : inexplicable, loss of control is sometimes referred to as Steve Blass : Disease. Mark Wohlers and Rick Ankiel also had successful pitching careers : ended because of it. 这问题其实曾经有过类似的案例 像早期过去一些有名的大投手 SteveBlass MarkWohlers RickAnkiel等 都因为这毛病而终止了他们的职业生涯 : Dodgers veteran catcher Brad Ausmus told the Los Angeles Times that he : figured that was the end of Kuo's career. : Kuo ended up seeing two sports psychologists to try to solve the problem. : Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said he thinks it wasn't mental, but was just a : manifestation of the physical problems. : "When you are dealing with the elbow, there are so many nerves that come : through there, it ends up so you can't feel the ball properly, and that ends : up affecting some other things," he said. 躲人的老捕手BradAusmus还告诉''Los Angeles Times''搞不好Kuo职业生涯可能结束了 那时小郭还再接受两位心理医生的治疗 试图解决这问题 而投手教练 Honeycutt 却认为那不是心里层面的问题 而只是身体自我防卫的反应 ''当你在处理手伤的时候 你会很在乎手肘 所以当你投球时 下意识的保护手肘 反而失去球感 进而影响到整体'' : The watershed moment in Kuo's recovery cam last August. Chad Billingsley had : to leave a game with an injury, so Kuo was summoned to the mound. He had to : warm up in front of 50,000 people. Manager Joe Torre admitted later that he : feared he'd made a mistake. A couple throws to the backstop and Kuo might : have been finished. : But it was OK. Kuo got through that and he ended up finishing the season and : a key member of the Dodger bullpen. 小小郭在去年八月复出 取代受伤的Chad Billingsley 再度在五万名观众面前暖身准备投球 托瑞事後承认 其实他也很担心小郭复出後不复以往 但结果证明 小小郭仍有能力掌控比赛 顺利完成了剩下的赛季 并成为牛棚中重要的一员 : This year Kuo had more elbow issues in spring training, and he started the : season on the disabled list. Since returning to action in April, he's been : healthy and has pitched better than anyone else in the Dodger bullpen. He has : a 1.11 ERA. His performance has been particularly important to the Dodgers : because lefty George Sherrill has struggled. 今年春训时小郭的手肘伤势再度困扰他 让他开季就进入伤兵名单 但当他在度健康回来时 仍然缴出了傲人的成绩(ERA1.11) 特别是当另一位左投George Sherrill爆炸之後 更显得他的重要性 : It still takes Kuo about six or seven hours' worth of treatment and exercise : to get himself ready to pitch each night. The Dodgers also won't pitch him : back-to-back days. After four surgeries, Kuo's arm might as well be held : together by staples and bubble gum. When GM Ned Colletti asks Conte about : Kuo's prognosis, Conte always says: "He's one pitch away. I don't know when : that pitch is." 因为四次手术的关西 躲人不会让他天天出赛 而且他每天必须花6到7个小时来照顾他的手肘 才能做好出赛的准备 当躲人GM NedColletti 问Conte预测小小郭能投到哪时 Conte说''此子乃万中选一的高手 深不可测 我只知道他可以一直投下去 但我也不知道他能投到何时'' (这边翻的可能不够精确 请见谅!可以见下面热心版友推文补充~) : When Kuo had doubts he could come back from the latest injury, Conte told : him: "I didn't think you were going to come back in '08. I didn't think you : were going to come back in '09. And here we are in 2010. We'll probably be : here in five years saying 'Is this the last time?'" : Kuo's mantra, anytime he's asked about his health is, "I just try to get : ready every day." 今年小小郭受伤时他怀疑是否能再回去投球 Conte说 '' 嘿 你记得08年 我说我不认为你会再回来伤兵名单了 然後你回去投球了 结果09年你又回来了 而我也说了一样的话 今年已经是2010年了 同样情况再次发生 我们大概已经说了这样的咒语有五年了 这次可以是最後一次了吗?'' 至於每次问到小小郭的健康 他也只是回答 ''我只是试着准备好每一天'' : He admitted that he considered quitting many times, but eventually kept : coming back because "a lot of people don't get the opportunity to do this, : and I have the opportunity, so I'm going to keep going." : Predictably, Kuo also shrugs off questions about the All-Star Game. : "I don't worry about that," he said. 小小郭承认其实他也有好几次想放弃不打球了 但是他最後还是选择撑下去 因为他认为''不是人人都可以有这种机会'' 当问到有关入选明星赛的问题 他也只淡淡的回答 '' 我不担心那个'' : He's been around long enough to know that middle relievers rarely show up in : All-Star Games. He's also got to compete with Arthur Rhodes, a veteran lefty : who also has a compelling All-Star story. 他跟另外一个怪物ArthuRhodes是今年选明星赛 常被提出来比较的中继投手 : Honeycutt said he'd stump for Rhodes to be on the team, not only because he : believes middle relievers have been underrepresented in the All-Star Game, : but also because it would be a nice reward for all that Kuo has endured. : "He has great ability," Honeycutt said. "It's a shame he's had the stuff he's : had in the past, but this guy is a battler. He's been through a lot." Honeycutt 说 小小郭跟Rhodes 都应该被选进明星队 而不该因为中继投手的身分被忽略 尤其是小小郭 他背後经历过的故事 这位为理想而奋斗的勇者 绝对有资格赢得这项荣耀 : http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/07/02/four-surgeries-later-hong-chih-kuo : -dominating-for-dodgers/ : http://is.gd/ddlYs --
