小弟第一次尝试翻译...有错请指正，谢谢 With Their Confidence Showing, the Yankees Complete a Sweep By TYLER KEPNER Published: August 13, 2007 展露信心，洋基完成横扫 CLEVELAND, Aug. 12 — When Andy Pettitte walked off the mound at Yankee Stadium on July 1, in the midst of a seven-run second inning, the Yankees were on their way to a loss that pushed them four games below .500. 当 Pettitte 在七月一日只投了不到二局，失了七分而被换下来後，洋基输了这场比赛 而离五成的胜率还差了四场 (注：当时输球後，战绩为38胜41败) Six weeks later, they are the hottest team in the majors, with 29 victories in their past 39 games after a weekend sweep of the Cleveland Indians, who tumbled out of first place in the American League Central. The Yankees are believers, and all the evidence is with them. 六个星期後，洋基成为大联盟最火热的球队！ 包含这个周末横扫笑脸人队，洋基 在过去的39场比赛中赢了29场，而笑脸人队在美联中区的龙头却不保了… 洋基相信，所有赢球的证据都是站在他们这边的。 “I feel like we’re the team, you know?” Pettitte said Sunday. “It doesn't surprise me. I’d be extremely disappointed if this team didn’t get to the playoffs. That’s just kind of the way I feel.” "我觉得我们是一个团队，你懂吗" Pettitte 在星期天说道。 "对於我们的赢球，我一点也不会觉的讶异" "如果像我们这样的球队都进不了季後赛的话，我会相当失望，这就是我的感觉" An hour or so after Mariano Rivera snuffed an Indians rally in the bottom of the ninth to finish a 5-3 victory, the Baltimore Orioles came back to beat the Boston Red Sox. That cut the Yankees’ deficit to four games in the A.L. East, the closest they have been since April 24. 在 MO 浇灭笑脸人队在九局下半的反攻气势，顺利替洋基守下这场5:3的胜利， 而後大约一小时，金莺也逆转胜了红袜， 这也使得洋基和红袜的胜差缩小到只剩四场，这是自从四月24日以来最近的一次。 It is no wonder that so many players watched the Red Sox game in the clubhouse late Sunday afternoon. The Orioles are coming to the Bronx on Monday, but it is Boston the Yankees are chasing. The Yankees are in a virtual tie with Seattle for the wild-card lead. 难怪许多洋基球员在比赛结束後的下午，还留在休息室里看这场比赛， 因为金莺接下来要造访洋基，而红袜又是洋基苦苦追赶的对象。 现在，洋基和水手同样在外卡中取得领先的地位。 Cleveland was supposed to be a test for the Yankees, who had played weaker teams since mid-July. But the Indians are in a free fall, losing 13 of their past 20 games. Their aggressive hitting approach backfired during the weekend series. 和笑脸人的比赛，被视为是对洋基的一个测验，因为在七月中，洋基都是和一些比较弱 的队伍比赛，但是笑脸人正处於低潮的状态，在20场比赛中，输了13场。他们旺盛的 安打反而和比赛的结果事与愿违。 The Yankees’ pitchers went 23 innings without issuing a walk during the series, and they held the Indians to six runs over all. Three came in the last three innings Sunday, after the Yankees had built a 4-0 lead. 洋基的投手群，在本系列23局的投球中都没有投出保送，而且压制笑脸人只得到六分 其中有三分是在最後三个半局得到的(真抖)，当时洋基正有着4:0的领先。 The Indians squandered their chance for more runs. They loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh, and with first baseman Andy Phillips playing behind the bag, Jhonny Peralta took a big lead. Pettitte and Phillips sensed an opportunity. 笑脸人浪费了许多得分的机会，例如当时0 outs 七局满垒、没人出局的大好情况，一垒手 Phillips 站在垒包後面，(behind是翻成後面吗？？) Peralta 离垒过远， Pettitte 和 Phillips 注意到了一个良机… “It’s something Andy and I have talked about in the past, to have a heads-up for that play,” Phillips said. “He’s got such a tremendous move even when I’m holding the runner.” "这就像我和老派之前常常在说的，对这样的play保持高度的警戒心" 电灯炮这麽说… "老派完成了一个非常棒的补防，当我在抓跑者的时候" (不太会翻) For the first time this season, Pettitte threw to first without a fielder stationed at the bag. Phillips sneaked behind Peralta to snag the throw, and then chased him up the line for the out. The Indians scored on a sacrifice fly, but they were deflated. 这是本季的第一次，老派牵制制一垒而一垒手并不在垒包上，电灯炮偷偷躲在 Peralta 的後面去接这个传往一垒牵制的球，然後抓到了这个想要偷跑的跑者，最後，笑脸人只 在这个半局得到了一分，笑脸人顿时变成囧脸人。 “That was a big letdown for them, and certainly a big pick-me-up for us,” Manager Joe Torre said. "这让他们非常的失望，但我们却很爽" Torre说。 The Yankees’ pitching coach, Ron Guidry, was ejected after the inning for arguing balls and strikes. So when Rivera got in trouble in the ninth, it was Torre, not Guidry, who visited him on the mound. 洋基投教 Guidry 在这个半局结束後，因为跑去和主审吵好坏球的事，而被赶出场， 所以当 MO 九局遇到乱流时，上去投手丘安抚的是 Torre 而不是 Guidry。 Cleveland had scored once in the eighth, an inning Rivera had finished after Luis Vizcaíno allowed a run-scoring single. Two singles opened the ninth, and when Franklin Gutiérrez doubled to drive in a run, Torre trotted to the mound. His concern, Torre said delicately, was that “guys that you felt he should have better luck against” were getting hits. His real fear was that Rivera was hurt. 笑脸人在八局又得了一分。LV 被打一支安打，掉了一分(是老派的责失)，接着 MO 上班 结束这个半局。 抖抖第九局以两只安开启笑脸人反攻的气势，接着 Gutierrez 打出一 只两垒安打，打回一分，Torre跑上来安定一下 MO，说 guys that you felt he should have better luck against” were getting hits. (抱歉…不会翻@@" 有请别的强者) (不知道是不是说：这些人，要有更好的运气才能从你MO的手里打出安打) Torre 很怕 MO 被打爆。 This was the ninth time Torre had asked Rivera to get a save of more than one inning, something he had vowed not to do in spring training. “You O.K.?” Torre said he asked Rivera, who replied that he felt fine. 这是第九次 MO 提早上班，虽然 Torre 在春训时说过不会这样做。 "行不行啊？" Torre 在得到 MO 正面的答覆後，便让他上场了。 Rivera then proved it. He struck out Asdrubal Cabrera and Grady Sizemore before getting Casey Blake to fly to right to end the game. It was the 19th save in a row for Rivera, who seemed unfazed by the extra workload. MO 证明了他很行，接连三振了 Cabrera 和 Sizemore，然後让 Blake 打出一个飞球 结束了这场有惊无险的比赛。MO 似乎对他的加班一点也不担心。 “I’ve been doing that for a long time,” he said. “You train for that and you have to be ready for that situation. I know Joe doesn’t want to use me in that situation, but when we have to go for it, I am that person.” "我早已身经百战啦！" "当你被训练成一个 closer 就应该要有这样的准备，我知道 Joe 不想让我提前上场， 但是需要一个人化解失分危机时--我就是那个人" MO 说。 Pettitte said he was so nervous in the ninth, he could not bear to watch the game on the clubhouse television. Jason Giambi, the designated hitter, said he was not as worried watching Rivera. Pettitte 在九局下说他自己很紧张，他不敢在休息室里看电视 大吉说：俺一点也不担心MO。 “You get spoiled,” said Giambi, who bashed a two-run homer in the fourth inning. “You don’t panic. You know he might give up a few hits, but you don ’t think the other team is ever on top of it.” "你们都被宠坏啦！" "别怕！ 虽然 MO 会被打出几支安打，但没有人可以打爆他的啦！" 技安很挺MO Since his return from the disabled list last week, Giambi has eased into a part-time role without complaining. How could he? Melky Cabrera, who also homered Sunday, has established himself as an everyday starter on a team that is winning nearly every day. 自从大吉从DL回来後，对於他不是固定的先发，没有任何的抱怨，为什麽他可以看这麽 开啊？ 答案就是 Cabrera，在这场比赛也打了一支 HR ，小卡布在这一段固定先发的日 子中，建立起他的自信心，而这样的 lineup，也让球队一直赢球。 “You don’t want to come in and disrupt the ball club,” Giambi said. “You just want to be a part of it. Everything’s great.” "没有人想上场却以破坏了休息区气氛的结果下场" 技安说 "人人都想为胜利贡献一份心力 "最近真是事事顺心啊！" ================ 抱歉，小弟第一次翻译，很多地方不顺，也翻不出来，请多多指正！！谢谢。 --
