Rodriguez, who leads the Major Leagues in both home runs and RBIs with 34, wrapped his historic month by batting .355 and would appear to be a shoo-in for American League Player of the Month honors. 纽约讯 -- Alex Rodriguez 没能在周日(29)与红袜的对战中敲出全垒 打，这也确定他只能追平联盟四月份 14 支全垒打的纪录。Rodriguez 现在是大联盟的全垒打王，同时拥有全联盟最高的 34 分打点，加上 .355 的打击率，在缔造纪录的这个月份，他几乎稳坐美联本月最佳球 员的宝座。 "I've done it before," Rodriguez said recently. "You pay the price and you expect to reap some rewards. I don't worry about what happened yesterday or tomorrow. I'm worried about today." 「我以前也这麽做过，」Rodriguez 最近表示，「你付出了多少也相 对会期待有些回收。我不在乎昨天或明天发生些什麽，我只在乎现在 。」 The 31-year-old Rodriguez equaled the 14 home runs hit by St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, who accomplished the feat in April 2006. 31 岁的 Rodriguez 打平了 2006 年四月由圣路易红雀队一垒手 Albert Pujols 所创下 14 支全垒打的纪录。 Rodriguez is in his fourth season with the Yankees and, he says, his most comfortable. Rodriguez has spoken often about feeling that he has been in a "good place" from the first day of Spring Training in Tampa, Fla., though there have been physical adjustments, as well. 这是 Rodriguez 在洋基的第四个球季，如他所述，也是他最自在的 一个球季。Rodriguez 自从在佛罗里达 Tampa 展开春训的第一天起 便时常提到他处於「最佳状况」，虽然这经历过一些体能调整。 Rodriguez made great efforts to trim his body weight and fat over the offseason, and hitting coach Kevin Long has tinkered with his swing, making it shorter to the ball and more compact. Rodriguez 在球季结束後这段时间努力地调整体重与体脂肪，打击教 练 Kevin Long 也修正他的挥击动作，使他能更快速而精准地击球。 "I definitely feel a bit more athletic, and I feel younger," Rodriguez said. 「我真的感到活力充沛，而且也觉得自己变年轻了。」 The torrid beginning to Rodriguez's season has prompted some to question if, given his head start, he could challenge Barry Bonds' single-season record of 73 home runs. Rodriguez 火热的开季表现让某些人开始思考，如果他维持季初的热 度，他有可能挑战 Barry Bonds 所保持单季 73 轰的纪录。 "If he stays healthy, I don't know what the limit would be for him," said Yankees manager Joe Torre. "He's very talented, and he's gifted. He doesn't take his ability for granted -- he's out there working every day and trying to keep himself ready to play." 「如果他保持健康，我还真不知道他的极限在哪，」洋基总教练 Joe Torre 说，「他天赋异禀，但是他并不把自己的能力视为理所当 然 -- 他日复一日地练习并且试着让自己随时处於备战状态。」 A-Rod finished one RBI shy of Juan Gonzalez's Major League record for most RBIs hit in April, set in 1998 with the Texas Rangers. Gonzalez drove in 35 runs that month. A-Rod 差一分打点就能追平德州游骑兵队 Juan Gonzalez 在 1998 年创下的大联盟四月份最高打点纪录 -- 35 分。 Rodriguez had his final shot at that record in the eighth inning of New York's 7-4 loss to Boston on Sunday afternoon, but Mike Timlin induced Rodriguez to hit into an inning-ending double play. Rodriguez 的最後机会出现在周日(29)下午，洋基以四比七败给红袜 那场比赛的第八局，但是 Mike Timlin 让 Rodriguez 挥出了一支双 杀打，结束洋基那一局的进攻。 Rodriguez, who has outhomered five Major League teams through Sunday's action, became the first Yankees player to have as many as 14 home runs and 34 RBIs in a single calendar month since June 1961, when Roger Maris collected 15 home runs and 35 RBIs. Rodriguez 在周日(29)赛後累记的全垒打数甚至超过某五只大联盟球 队的全垒打数(*1)，也使他 14 轰 34 打点的成绩成为洋基仅次於 Roger Maris 於 1961 年单月敲出 15 支全垒打拿下 35 打点的纪 录。 The accomplishments would be a lot more enjoyable for Rodriguez, however, if the team would resume its winning ways. The Yankees have lost eight of their last nine games and look to right the ship on Tuesday at Texas -- a place familiar to Rodriguez -- as a new month begins for both A-Rod and the Yankees. Rodriguez 原本能更尽情地享受他创造的成就 -- 如果球队能找回他们 赢球的方法。洋基在最近的赛事中九战八败，他们期待能在周二(5/1) ，在德州这个 Rodriguez 熟悉的地方，扭转颓势，展开一个对 A-rod 和洋基而言都是崭新的月份。 Rodriguez signed a 10-year, $252 million contract with the Texas Rangers before the 2001 season and was traded to the Yankees prior to the 2004 season. Rodriguez 在 2001 年开季前跟德州游骑兵签下一张十年两亿五千二 百万美元的合约，而後在 2004 年开季前被交易到洋基。 "Once we get on a roll, I think we're going to be fine," Rodriguez said. "The things to start worrying about this month is winning two out of three, three out of four. Small bites and small steps." 「我想当我们稳定下来後就没问题了。」Rodriguez 说，「接下来这 个月该考虑的是三战二胜、四战三胜，步步为营，渐渐蚕食。」 Bryan Hoch is a reporter for MLB.com.
