板主在推文说这篇有翻译的价值，身为一个因为小王而拜访这里的新板友， 贡献一篇翻译文来拜拜码头，如果大家不嫌弃，希望以後也能常帮这里翻译外电， 练习英文之余也能顺便更深入地认识国民队。 ※ 引述《VaROne (没听到《传奇》)》之铭言： : http://masnsports.com/2010/02/chico-ready-to-return-better-t.html : By Byron Kerr on February 16, 2010 7:57 PM : Nationals lefthander Matt Chico missed most of the 2009 season after having : elbow surgery in 2008. Chico is optimistic he can return even better than he : was before the surgery because he is pain free for the first time since his : first spring training in 2004. : I had a chance to talk with Matt as he prepares in Viera for spring training. 在经过2008年的手肘手术後，国民队左投手Matt Chico错过了2009大部分的球季。 不过Chico对於自己现在的身体状况感到非常乐观，他认为自己现在的身体状况， 甚至比动手术前还要好，因为他的手肘完全没有任何疼痛， 这是自2004年春训以来，从来没有过的好现象。 以下是记者Byron Kerr在春训基地与Matt Chico的访谈对话纪录。 : How does elbow feel? : "I pitched 83 innings last year in Low A and Double A. I made three or four : starts. Everything was good at that point. Some simple soreness you are : supposed to have. It wasn't anything that I had felt the previous three or : four seasons. Now I am 19 to 20 months out from the surgery and it feels : night and day." 请问你的手肘现在感觉如何??? 我去年在低阶1A与2A共投了83局，其中有三、四场是先发，一切都好极了。 当然，投完球後会有一些轻微的酸痛，但那是(因为疲劳)本来就会有的。 对於我过去三、四季所经历过的伤痛，这点小小酸痛根本不算什麽。 我在手术後休息了19到20个月，喔~ 那真是一段漫长的时光。 : How did you pitch with all that pain? : "For me I just kind of got used to it. For a while the pain would go away. : But I couldn't extend my arm all the way or touch my shoulder for three or : four years. Then all of sudden in 2008 it wasn't feeling right and it just : popped." 你是怎样带着那些疼痛投球的??? 就我自己而言，我就是想办法去习惯它。有一段时间，那些疼痛会消失不见。 不过，有三、四年的时间，我无法完全伸展我的手臂，或是用手去碰触我的肩膀。 然後，就在2008年的某一天，我发觉它不大对劲，然後我的手肘就炸裂了。 : Have you talked to anyone else who went through similar issues after surgery? : "Actually, Jordan Zimmermann had some questions. We go back and forth with : war stories. He is going through what I went through right now. I talked to : Shaun Hill a little as well. He was going through a second post-surgery and : gave me some pointers on how to approach some things: don't do this, don't : push it." 你有跟其他(同样动过手肘手术的)人讨论过类似的问题吗??? 事实上，Jordan Zimmermann也有一些这样的问题。 我们来回讨论过许多次我们那些与病痛对抗的经验。 (We go back and forth with war stories <= 这句我不大确定怎麽翻译。) 他现在正经历着我过去曾经历过的事。 我也和Shaun Hill讨论了一些。那时他正在进行第二次手术後的复健。 他指点了我一些事--如何进行复健的事--像是不能做哪些事、不要操之过急之类的。 : Was it tough not to go all out when you felt well? : "It was pretty hard. I had a lot of those days in extended throwing sessions : where I was feeling good. I remember one day where I went out to long toss : and got out to 180 feet and felt good. I hadn't been able to do that in three : or four years. Then when I went to 220 and it went okay, but the next two or : three days I felt the elbow again. So I took it easy after that and didn't : push things. I am fine now." 当你觉得手臂状况还不错，却不能用全力去好好催一下，你会不会觉得很痛苦??? 那真是超‧难‧挨‧的。那种日子我真是受够了，特别是进行延伸投球练习的时候。 记得有一天我在做长传练习，丢到180尺的时候，我感觉好极了， 我已经有三、四年没有这样做过了。然後我开始丢220尺长传，手臂也没什麽问题。 不过之後的两、三天，我又感觉手肘不大对劲了。 於是我决定慢慢来，不要太着急。现在的我状况好极了。 : You relocated a couple of years ago to the Viera area to be close to the : complex, how has it been for you this offseason living so close to Space : Coast stadium? : "I have been doing baseball related stuff since early December. I wanted to : start my throwing a little earlier. We had a baby son in late December : (second child, congrats!), so I knew I would be busy and wanted to get a head : start." 几年前你搬到Viera区靠近球场设施的地方。 住在离Space Coast球场这麽近的地方，你的休赛期间是怎麽过的??? 我在十二月初开始进行一些棒球相关的活动，因为我想早一点开始我的投球练习。 十二月底我第二个孩子出生了，我知道我将会很忙碌，所以我希望能有个好的起步。 : With the Nats making so many offseason moves, especially to the pitching : staff, do you relish the upgraded competition? : "The whole competition for spots makes it fun going out there to pitch. I was : thinking, for me, if there wasn't a competition you are not going to do your : best. It pushes me a lot if there are other guys there you try to : out-perform. Better competition makes for a pretty good pitching staff." 国民队今年在休赛期间做了许多动作，特别是针对投手部份的补强， 你喜欢这种因为阵容升级而带来的位置竞争吗??? 为了在球队名单中获得位置而竞争，正是让「上场投球」这件事变得有趣的地方。 我在想，对我来说，如果没有竞争，就没办法激发出你的最佳表现。 竞争这件事激励了我，因为这里有一堆好手等着你用好表现胜过他们。 越强的竞争越能打造一个更好的投手阵容。 : So with your left arm feeling so good, are your ready for spring training? : "I feel better arm-wise than I have since my first spring training in 2004. : After that it kind of went down hill. I was never right. I tried to change : mechanics. I tried to make it so my arm did not hurt anymore. That threw off : my speed and then my knees starting hurting. I was putting pressure on myself : because I knew how I was doing and couldn't do anything about it. : "I was never able to accomplish what I wanted to because of certain things : going on (with my arm). Now I feel good and I will try to make the rotation. : I am just happy I am healthy and I can still pitch." (红字部份原文为want，应是typo，译者臆测应为what) 既然你的左手臂已经康复，你准备好开始春训了吗??? 我的手臂感觉棒极了，是我从2004年第一次参加春训以来最好的。 (注: Matt Chico是在2003年选秀第三轮由响尾蛇队选中。) 从那之後，我的手臂就每况愈下，从此没有再好过。 我曾试着改变我的投球机制，让我在投球时手臂比较不会痛， 但那却让我的球速下滑，还造成我的膝盖疼痛。 我的压力越来越大，因为我知道我搞砸了，但我对这事却无能为力。 我再也无法投出我想要的球，只因为(手臂)出了问题。 不过我的手臂现在已经OK了，我会试试看能不能加入轮值。 我很高兴我能恢复健康，并且能继续投球。 : What is it like to have Steve McCatty as your pitching coach? : "Steve McCatty is a great coach and a great person. He helped me in 2007 when : I went down there for two weeks. He helped me work on my mechanics." 有Steve McCatty当你的投教，感觉如何??? Steve McCatty不只是一个好教练，也是一个好人。他曾在2007年帮助过我， 在我去找他的那两个星期里，他帮助我调整了我的投球机制。 : The 2009 spring training has a different feeling with all these changes, : doesn't it? : "It does. It won't be the 100 losses of the last couple of years. I think it : is going to be more successful because it is a whole different team, : especially the bullpen. We now have some experience in the bullpen, ten times : better than it has been the last three or four years, especially with the : year Tyler Clippard had last season." 经过了这麽多的变动，2009(应该是2010才对，译者臆测是作者笔误)的春训， 是否让你有截然不同的感觉??? 是的。我们将不再是过去几年那支每年输上一百场的球队了!!! 我想我们今年将会更成功，因为整支球队已经不一样了，特别是我们的牛棚。 我们的牛棚现在有许多具有经验的投手，比起过去三、四年好上十倍， 特别是当你注意到Tyler Clippard去年的表现。 : Being from San Diego, do you know Stephen Strasburg? : "I didn't before but we came to find out I went to high school with his : wife's cousin. So we all know some of the same people." 同样来自圣地牙哥，你认识Stephen Strasburg吗??? 我以前不认识他，但是我们来到这里之後聊过一下， 发现我跟他老婆的表亲(译者: 想攀关系也攀太远了吧XD)念同一所高中， 所以我们有一些共同的朋友。 : Chico is ready for Friday with the first workouts scheduled for this weekend. : Matt will keep us updated as spring training gets underway. Chico已经准备好在本周末(礼拜五)进行他第一个的练习行程， 就让我们跟着春训的脚步，持续关心Matt的表现吧!!! -- 身为一个重度FB玩家(我看完了30队的Yahoo! FB Team Report)， 老实说，不是超级国民球迷还真的不会知道Matt Chico这号人物， 就连今年的Nationals Team Report都把他忘了，只草草提了一句， Medical Watch里面也没提到这号人物... 他过去(as of D-Backs or Nats)有备受期待吗??? --
