这是官网的新闻 就当作我这个新翻译官报到的作业吧~ --- Manny not consumed with quest for 500 咩妮没被五百轰目标拖垮 Sox slugger proud of newfound clarity, focused on the future 红袜强棒目标明确 展望未来 By Maureen Mullen / Special to MLB.com BOSTON -- Manny Ramirez had vowed he would hit his 500th career home run before the calendar flipped from April to May. And when he hit No. 496 -- his sixth of the season -- on April 19, that goal seemed more than feasible for one of the game's most prolific hitters, who has averaged a home run in slightly more than every 14 at-bats over his career. But on May Day, Ramirez's home run totals have not changed since that round-tripper on April 19 against the Rangers, a stretch of 34 at-bats. 咩妮早就放话，说他在五月前就要轰出第五百轰。在咩妮4月19号轰出第496轰---本季第 六轰後，这项目标对他这个大联盟(全垒打)产量最多之一的选手看来是超稳的---因为生 涯成绩显示，他每十四个打席就会轰一发。 时光荏苒，人间已是五月天。可咩妮在19号对条子轰的那发三分炮後，就连34打席没开炮 了。 That matters little to him. 可是这对他没什麽差。 "I don't want to talk about 500," Ramirez said. "I want to talk about 600. I'm going to have more than 500. I'm already there. I'm going to 600." 咩妮:「我对500轰没啥兴趣，600轰不错。500轰对我太少了，我稳的。我要轰，就要轰 600发。」 Either of those numbers would virtually secure his future in Cooperstown when he retires. 不过这两个数字都能让他在退休後舒舒服服地住进古柏镇(名人堂所在地)。 "I'm already [at 500]," he said. "So if it's not in my future, I could stop playing today. I'm already there. But, you know something? My Hall of Fame is not baseball. It's my kids. Like I always say, I want to see them go to college, go to a bar with them and drink a beer. That's what I want to do. That's my goal. 咩妮:「我稳的好不好。除非我今天就不打了，要不然我一定行。我稳的。告诉你喔。我 才不想进棒球名人堂，我要进我家小朋友的名人堂。就像我常说的，我想看他们上大学， 和他们一起去吧里喝啤酒。我比较想这样，这才是我的志向。」 "Baseball? Baseball is just a game. I could care less about the game. I like to play. I like to compete. But it's just a game to me that I come to work and play in. But my main goal is that I want to do that for my kids. I try to stay home but, you know, when I don't have [baseball], I could be the same guy. I'm not trying to get a big head or just hit home runs -- blah, blah, blah. Because I'm going to leave, and the game [is] always going to stay there. 「棒球?打棒球就像在玩啊。玩游戏那麽认真干嘛?我比较爱玩。我享受竞争的感觉。我只 是边玩边打工，乐在其中。我的志向就是要为我的小朋友打球。我很想多陪家人，嗯，反 正如果不是因为棒球，我就是个普通人。我不会很想当大人物还是轰全垒打之类的。我总 有一天要退的，可是我可以一直”玩”下去。」 "It's like Cal Ripken, when he was with the Orioles. Everybody [said], 'Oh, Cal Ripken, Cal Ripken, blah, blah, blah.' He retired, then Miguel Tejada came. They forgot about [Ripken] and it was, 'Tejada, Tejada.' You know? That's part of the game. You got to understand that. Enjoy it while you can." 「看看金莺队的Cal Ripken(新科名人堂)吧!当初大家都说:『哇!!! Cal Ripken耶~』然 後他退休了，来了个铁哈达。然後大家就忘了Cal Ripken了，开始『哇~铁哈达耶~』这就 是比赛的一部分。你总得释怀。趁你打得动的时候好好玩吧。」 Ramirez, a career .313 hitter with a .593 slugging percentage and a .410 on-base percentage, had gotten off to slow starts in each of the last two seasons. In 2007, he entered May batting .202 with three home runs, 13 RBIs, a .314 on-base percentage and a .315 slugging percentage. In 2006, he entered the month hitting .276 with four home runs, 13 RBIs, a .417 on-base percentage and a .448 slugging percentage. 咩妮的生涯打率有3成13，长打率有5成93，上垒率有4成1。不过前两年他有点慢热。去年 五月以前，他打率才2成02，轰三发全垒打，13分打点，3成14上垒率，3成15长打率。前 年的五月之前，他的打率才2成76，轰四发全垒打，13分打点，4成17上垒率，4成48长打 率。 This year, however, he entered May among the American League leaders in most offensive categories, including batting average (.343), home runs (six), RBIs (21), on-base percentage (.410), slugging percentage (.619), doubles (nine) and hits (36). 不过今年五月前，他就已经是美联最强打者之一了。他的打率有3成43，轰六发全垒打， 有4成1的上垒率，6成19的长打率。打了9支二垒打和36支安打。 So, what's his secret? 究竟他有什麽秘诀呢? "I don't know," he said. "I wish I could tell you. I just go up there relaxed [and] trust myself. [I] got a strong mind. I don't let nobody get into my mind, my head. 咩妮:「我不知道耶~我要知道就告诉你了。我就是上，然後相信自己。我的意志坚定，不 受其他人影响。」 "I don't know how. I just take it day-by-day, you know. Sometimes they get you, sometimes you get them. That's part of the game. You can come here for a week and get 20 hits, and maybe you come this week and just get one or two. But everything's going to even out. It's going to be even." 「我不知道怎麽会这样，反正每天就是球来就打。有时你比较好，有时人家比较好，这就 是比赛的一部分。有时你一个礼拜可以敲20安，有时候只能敲一两支。不管怎样，这都没 什麽关系。」 To many observers outside the Sox clubhouse, Ramirez's overall demeanor has seemed different so far this season -- more relaxed, more outgoing. To him, though, nothing is different. 从旁人看来，咩妮今年整个感觉都不一样了。感觉更轻松，更直率。虽然对他本人而言， 一切好像都没什麽改变。 "I'm happy every year," he said. "Hey, life is too short. Why not?" 咩妮:「我心情常保愉悦。人生苦短啊，何不及时行乐?」 Ramirez, who turns 36 on May 30, is in the eighth year of his eight-year contract with the Red Sox. He has a .314 average with the Sox, with 260 home runs and 820 RBIs. The team holds options for each of the next two seasons. 咩妮5月30就满36岁了。今年也是他与红袜八年合约的最後一年。在红袜，他打出了3成14 打击率，打了260发全垒打和820分打点。球团在接下来两年对他都有选择权。 "My main goal is staying here," Ramirez said. "I want to stay here and finish as a Red Sox. But that's not in my control. I can't be telling you, you know. I got control of myself, but they're the businessmen up there. But I'm in a good situation here. If they said, 'OK, we're not going to take the option,' good. Somebody will come and give me four more years, five more years. But I like being here. But it's up to them. It's not up to me. 咩妮:「我想待在这，我想在红袜打到退休，不过这也不是我能决定的，反正一切都很难 讲。我有我的想法，商人有商人的想法。不过我在这打得不错。如果他们说:嗯，我们不 要你了！也可以。总有人会让我多打四五年球。我喜欢待在这，不过这些都是上面在作主 ，不是我。」 "But like I said, if they say no, another team's going to come and give me four or five years." 「就像我说的，如果他们不要我，总有某队会让我多打四五年球。」 Which would make him 40 or 41 in the final year of such a deal. 四五年後，他就40、41岁了。 "Why not? I feel like a kid," Ramirez said. "I feel good. Why stop playing?" 咩妮:「就继续玩下去啊，我就像小孩一样。我很快乐，为什麽不继续玩下去呢?」 As much as for his offense, Ramirez is known for his quirks, occasionally checking out -- physically and mentally -- on his teammates, or committing fielding lapses. 咩妮偶而出现的怪癖和他的火力一样出名。怪癖可能是外在的、是内在的；对象可能是队 友，可能是常出包的外野守备。 "As long as I know I can play, I don't care what people say," he said. "I just come, enjoy my time." 咩妮:「只要我还能玩下去，我才不管人家说什麽，玩就对了。」 He has also been talking with the media more this year, something he went out of his way to avoid in past seasons. It is a change brought on, he said, because of his newfound awareness. 他今年在媒体前话更多了，他以前总是相当低调。他说他变了，因为他有了新的体悟。 "Yeah, I love it," he said. "But sometimes, you know, your mind plays tricks with you. You got to control your mind, so, you know, it's good. I'll come and give you guys 10, 15 minutes when I can. Instead of -- you know. Because I understand I'm a big part of this organization, people want to hear what I'm doing, you know, blah, blah, blah. And, it's never too late to change." 咩妮:「我觉得这样不错。不过有时候，一个人的感觉会出错。你要调整好心态，这样比 较好。如果我有空，我都会来给你们问个10到15分钟。除非…你知道的。我知道我还满重 要的，然後大家都会想知道我最近在干嘛之类的。反正要改回来，随时都能改。」 With that, Ramirez told his interviewer to take care and walked away. Then he turned back. 讲到这，咩妮问候了一下记者就走了，不一会儿他又跑回来。 "But I'm still mad, though," he said. 咩妮:「我还是不太爽。」 About what? 怎麽了? "I said I was going to hit 500 home runs last month, and I didn't do it," Ramirez said. "But, I know, I know. I got five more months to do it." 咩妮:「我上个月说要轰第五百轰的，可是我没有啊。不过我知道，真的，我还有五个月 可以慢慢来。」 It likely won't take that long. 看来就快了。 -- 　ｄ　 NY Ｂ ¯︶¯ Ｓ Ｊ TB 　Ｐ　 　☆ TC = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = — — — — — — — — — — 陈元甲 基甲 拉米瑞甲 塞兹甲 铃木一甲 威尔甲 岩村明甲 罗林甲 铁哈甲 杭甲 by angolmois --
