01/21/2008 10:00 AM ET Sox hoping to join rare repeat club Defending champs have lineup to take back-to-back titles By Ian Browne / MLB.com 出处： http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080117&content_id=2348935&vkey=news_bos&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos The Yankees of 1977-78. The 1992-93 Blue Jays. The Yankees again from 1998-2000. Go back 30 years and those are the only teams that have managed to repeat as World Series champions. Let's face it, hunting can often be a more exhilarating and less-challenging mission than being hunted. 在过去的三十年之内，只有北佬在77-78, 98-00以及蓝鸟在92-93(我第一次接触到MLB， 好怀年当时的蓝鸟)曾经蝉联过WS。好八，让我们面对这点，追寻总是比被追寻较让人 振奋且较少挑战性。 So as Spring Training 2008 draws near, the question just hangs out there like a Manny Ramirez moon shot into the Fenway night. 当08年的春训接近之时，在夜半三更皎洁月光之下，米粉头等人除了思念秋香之外， 他们还心中还会挂念什麽呢？ Can the Red Sox repeat? 总统大选投给谁？不是，是到底能否蝉联WS！ The pieces sure seem to be in place, but there are never any guarantees. Just ask the 2001 Yankees, who came within three Mariano Rivera outs of a four-peat on a warm November night in Phoenix, only to see the Diamondbacks ruin that dream with a furious comeback. 答案似乎是确定的，但谁也无法保证。问问看01年的北佬八，在温暖的凤凰城，蛇群 们给了Mo一个当头棒喝阿，让北佬们只能看他们欢喜进洞房。 When Arizona won it all that night, it started a trend of teams that won the World Series only to come up short the next year. In fact, those six champions -- the '01 D-backs, the '02 Angels, the '03 Marlins, the '04 Red Sox, the '05 White Sox and the '06 Cardinals -- couldn't even repeat as league champions. 然而蛇群们也只痛快了那一晚。这也开始了一个每一年都有不同WS冠军的趋势。事实上 ，之後几年的事界大赛冠军，01年的蛇群，02年的天使，03年的小鱼，04年的袜子，05 年另一双袜子，06年的红鸟，甚至无法进到太师府内，更别说想要点到秋香了。 Each individual case has been different. But a collection of bad breaks, injuries, decline in talent and offseason moves that didn't pan out have conspired to prevent all those teams from repeat performances. 当然拉，每一支队伍都有不同的状况，像是肾亏阿...不是！是伤兵，手术，球员 的衰退，季後球员的交易或离开等等以及其他不能说的秘密，这些情形都造成了 无法蝉联这一份光荣的主要原因。 One thing the Red Sox do have is a loaded team that, at least on paper, looks good enough to make another strong run at winning it all. 有一件事情袜子们可以确定的，至少打嘴泡...写在纸上可以确定的！他们目前看起来 有足够的能力来蝉联这一份光荣。 That's one reason why players like Mike Lowell and Curt Schilling stuck around for less money and fewer years than they could have gotten in other destinations. 这也是为什麽老大或卖肉他们就甘心ㄟ愿意以较短年份以及较少价钱留在袜子国内。 "Hopefully guys can stay healthy and have the years they're capable of having," said Lowell, the 2007 World Series MVP. "We expect to make the playoffs and go very deep into the playoffs again. There shouldn't be any reason why we wouldn't." "充满查克拉的家伙们能保持较健康的状况来拥有他们应该有的"07年WS的MVP卖肉说道 "我们期待下一个季後赛且期待我们能在季後赛再一次释放出我们的查克拉，我们没 有理由说不行" Schilling was on the '02 Diamondbacks and '05 Red Sox -- two teams that were unable to repeat. In other words, he's anything but naïve. Even with that experience, he is highly optimistic about the 2008 Red Sox. 老大在02年的蛇群和04年的袜子都拿过冠军，而两次也都无法蝉联，照道理来说他对 这种小朋友的白日梦应该不会太在意，但是这次他对08年的袜子们充满了乐观的心情。 "I am excited to know that my last year in the game will be with a team that has another legitimate chance to win the World Series," Schilling wrote on his blog earlier this winter. 老大在他的部落格里面说道"我对於我的最後一年能够处在充满查克拉以及原力去取 得WS冠军的队伍感到兴奋，这让我感觉好像...充满了雄鳟鱼的精子一般" As much as the Red Sox felt optimistic about their chances of repeating in 2005, that team lost key members Pedro Martinez, Derek Lowe and Orlando Cabrera to free agency. The replacements (Matt Clement, David Wells and Edgar Renteria) didn't quite fill the void. And some players -- in particular Schilling and Keith Foulke -- paid the price of the grueling pace of the 2004 postseason. 在05年时候袜子们也感到如此乐观，但是那年他们失去了Pedro Martinez, Derek Lowe 和Orlando Cabrera等重要人物，而替代的人 (Matt Clement, David Wells and Edgar Renteria)又无法补上其空缺。特别是老大和佛爷为了为了04年季後赛的过度出赛付出了 代价。 Already, the 2008 Red Sox are ahead of their '05 counterparts. This group hasn't subtracted one significant player from the 2007 team. Also, there were no blood-and-guts stories in the '07 postseason such as Schilling pitching with a stitched-up ankle or Foulke throwing 100 pitches in a span of three days. 好拉，我们来比较看看08和05年的袜子们有啥差别。07年每一位重要的人都还在， 07年季後赛也没有出现老大那种充满勇气的血袜剧场以及佛爷在三天内连投100 求的情况。 The 2005 Red Sox seemed tired before the season even started. Things have been far different this time around. 在05年时候，袜子们再一开季便显现出疲态。但这一次不同了！ "In '04, you know, we talked about it, but obviously none of us had been through it," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "And you try to answer the questions correctly, and I think you legitimately mean it. But still, you have a ring ceremony as the season starts. So the people that say, 'Can you fully put it behind you?', I don't think you really can; but [you can] handle it and answer the questions, because inevitably there will be a ton of questions. But also realizing it will be a new year and [last year] won't win you any games is important." 季後对於赢得冠军的话题与有关 "蝉联" 的问题总是源源不绝 不论是公开场合或私下到各地总是被提及或问到相同的东西 其实球队上下只想得体的应对这些 然後专注在下一个球季本身 但是这不是轻言就可以甩掉 (through) 的 就算绝口不提也很 难把这些 FAQ 抛在脑後... 至少开季还有个典礼提醒你去年的 那些好事儿...重点是前一季的成就无法直接加在新球季胜场上 总之就是明知道新球季大家归零 卫冕队总还带着一点过去牵绊 本段感谢JJ热情赞助 The core hasn't changed. This team will be led by captain Jason Varitek's presence, David Ortiz and Ramirez's bats, Josh Beckett and Jonathan Papelbon's rocket right arms, the grit of Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia and Lowell, and the steadying presence of grizzled veterans like Schilling, Tim Wakefield and Mike Timlin. 袜子的核心一点都没有改变。这支队伍由队长来领导，有着老爹和米粉头的打击能力， 北极以及爆米花的火箭手腕，光头佬，小派和卖肉的胆识以及老大，大叔和老蝴蝶的 剧场表演....应该说是经验。 And there is also the youth movement. The Red Sox have the perfect blend at the moment, in that they have plenty of veterans and young players. The farm system keeps churning out talent. 而且袜子们也越来越秀色可餐了。此时袜子们除了有经验丰富的男优之外，还有着 许多年轻的男优们。此外，在制片厂内还有许多已经接受专业训练调教好的小朋友。 Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury starred on the World Series stage. Perhaps no-hit wonder Clay Buchholz will be ready to make a sustained contribution this year. 小派和加藤鹰...不是，是Jacoby Ellsbury在去年的WS已经让大家中出数次，或许 投出无安打的八扣子也在今年准备让大家再一次中出！ "I think we're lucky enough to have a core of players at the big league level that keeps us competitive at the highest level and also a strong foundation of young players coming through the system -- some of whom have already made their debut for the club -- that provide us with a promising future," said Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein. "我想我们够幸运去拥有一批在大联盟内顶尖的核心球员去维持我们在联盟内的高度竞争 力，我们的农场系统内也有着许多年轻男优随时准备上大联盟来证明自己，这都对我们 的未来做出了保证！"帅哥经理如此说道。 In this age of free agency, stability can be hard to maintain. But the Red Sox have managed to bring just about everybody back, which can only help their cause. 在这一个石油到处乱喷的年代，你很难去让队上的FA维持对球队的忠诚度。但是袜子国 总是能够留下他们的支柱们，因为袜子能够帮助他们去取得他们的梦想！ "The more you know these guys, almost the more work you can get done in Spring Training, because you know them, you know what they expect, they know what you expect, and it's easier to get your work done," said Francona. "You're not introducing yourself to people and explaining things, and you actually can get more work done." "对於这一群家伙们，你知道的，他们总是在春训时做到你所期待的甚至更多。因为 你了解他们，你知道他们所期盼的，他们也知道你所期盼的，所以让这一切都变简单了 ！"粉科男说道"你不需要去让他们有啥当头棒喝或者是解释何谓当头棒喝，但却总是做 到更多！" Can all that work lead to another World Series parade? That is what the Red Sox will strive for, but as recent history has proven, it will be a daunting mission 这一切是否能带来另一座冠军呢？这是袜子们努力追寻的，但是从最近的历史来看， 这将是一场艰困的战役！ 翻的不是很好....多见谅 本来21号当天就翻好了，结果被我家闪光关起来没存档 不甘心刚才就花了点时间重弄一次 请大家鞭小力一点... -- t a ╭ ███◣╮ ╭═╮ ╭ theanswer3 ╮t a h n ║ █ ◥█╰══════╯●╰═════════╯ ◢ ◥╴ ║h n e s ║ █◣ █ ◢█◣ ◢ █◣ ◢ ◢◢◣ ◢█◣ ◢█ ◤ ξξ￣╱ ║e s w ║ ███◤ █◢█ █ ██ █ █◤ █◢◤ ◢◤ ╱﹀4 ║ w e ║ █◥█◣ ◥◤◥ ◥ ▌◤ ◤ █ ◥█◤◢█ ◤ ∕ 〉 ║ e r 3╰ ◤══════════════════════ #24═════╯ r 3 --
