※ 引述《veronica4 (Veronica)》之銘言： : ANAHEIM - He had saved their season early and now they were looking for him t : validate their postseason. 　　先前拯救了球季，季後賽中洋基繼續仰賴王建民 : For six-plus innings, Chien-Ming Wang did all he could to justify Joe Torre's : faith in handing him the ball on enemy soil for his first postseason start : until the Angels finally conquered his sinkerball with their speed and did hi : in. 　　 　　季後賽的第一次先發，王建民盡了全力，想證明托瑞安排他在客場先發的信心。 　　直到天使隊以快腿克服了他的伸卡球，並讓王退場。 : He had pitched magnificently up to then, belying his 25 years, in limiting : the rowdy Halos to two scratch runs, one of them unearned thanks to Alex : Rodriguez's muff of an easy leadoff bouncer in the sixth by Orlando Cabrera. : The next inning it would be Cabrera again to deliver the game-breaking blow - : The next inning it would be Cabrera again to deliver the game-breaking blow - : a clean two-run single to left-center, culminating a rally that had begun wit : Juan Rivera beating out a leadoff Baltimore chop to short and Steve Finley : reaching on a bunt in front of the plate that was thrown wide by Wang. 　　在退場前他都投得超棒，一點也不像只有25歲。 在王的壓制下，只讓天使隊勉強得到兩分。 其中一分非自責，因為 A-Rod於第六局時處理 Cabrera的滾地彈跳時漏接。 　　下半局又是因為 Cabrera左外野的一支安打跑回兩分， 接著Rivera安打，Finley短打造成王的傳球失誤。 : In all, Wang made only three mistake pitches - Cabrera's hit, Rivera's : full-count, leadoff homer in the fifth and Bengie Molina's RBI single in the : sixth - but with the Yankees equally stifled by a quartet of Angel righthand\ : that was three too many. 　　總括來說，王只投壞了三顆球：Cabrera的安打、五局Rivera的全壘打、 六局Bengie帶得點的安打。 但在洋基打線在天使隊四任投手的強力壓制下，這三顆失誤球還是太多了。 : According to Joe Torre, there were a couple of reasons for choosing Wang to : start on the road. The Taiwanese righty's unflappable demeanor was a primary : factor, as was the Angels' unfamiliarity with his funky hesitation delivery. : More important than anything, however, was Torre's and Mel Stottlemyre's bel\ : that Wang had re-established himself as the quality starter he'd been the fi\ : half of the season, after he was summoned from Columbus in late April to : replace injured Jaret Wright. 　　托瑞表示，選王來先發有很多原因。 　　沉穩鎮定的身手當然是主要原因，同時天使隊也不熟悉他古怪的投球節奏。 　　然而其中最重要的是，托瑞跟投教都相信王已經恢復了先前從3A升上來取代 　　Wright後，那持續了半個球季的不凡身手。 : Wang was 6-3 with a 3.89 ERA at the All-Star break, and as Stottlemyre : acknowledged, "really saved us" given the battered and banged-up state of the : rotation. That's why when, right after the All-Star break, he suddenly : complained of a sore shoulder, it was as if the Yankee season was once again : lost. 　　 　　明星賽期間王的成績六勝三敗，防禦率3.89。如同投教先前說過的「救世主 降臨」，王拯救了這個被打得亂七八糟的投手輪值排序。 　　所以明星賽後，當王突然說肩膀酸時，洋基本季似乎又再次變得希望渺茫。 　 : "Looking back on it now," said Stottlemyre, "it would not surprise me in the : least if he merely slept on it the wrong way and what the MRI turned up was : what would show up on any pitcher's shoulder. He's clearly fine now and in hi : last couple of starts pitched like he had the first half." 　　投教說：「現在回想那時，要是當時他的肩膀酸只是因為睡覺姿勢不對，或者 　　磁核共振圖中顯示的只是個投手常見的傷害，那我一點也不會覺得意外。因為 他現在明顯已完全康復，而且在最近幾次先發都投得跟一開始一樣好。」 : Of course, it is a lot more than just being seemingly impervious to pressure : that brought Wang to his postseason moment last night. In the two years since : the Yanks first saw Wang the spring of '03, his velocity increased and he : perfected a sinker to the point where he's drawn comparisons to the most : notable Yankee sinkerballer of the last 30 years - Stottlemyre himself. 　　當然，除了無懼於強大的壓力外，還有更多原因，讓他昨晚能投這重要比賽。 　　洋基於2003年春季首度看到王建民。這兩年間，他的球速增加了，而且也練成 　　伸卡球路，練到可以拿來跟洋基近30年來最偉大的伸卡投手(投教)相提並論。 : In his last three starts of the season, he had a total of just four fly ball : outs and last night he got 14 ground ball outs. What should have been his 15t : was his errant throw of the Finley bunt. Otherwise, the combination of his : sinker and his calm under pressure served him well in his postseason debut. : Undeterred by Robinson Cano's two-out error in the second that put Angels at : first and third, Wang retired Finley on a grounder to second. And in the fif\ : he shrugged off Rivera's leadoff homer by retiring the next three Angels on : groundouts. 　　近三次先發，王總共只有四顆飛球接殺出局，而昨晚有14個滾地出局。 　　要不是Finley短打造成王傳球失誤，還不知道會不會有第15個。 　　不然，以他的伸卡球與壓力下的冷靜，一定能讓他的季後賽初登板投得很好。 　　 　　二出局後Cano失誤讓天使隊分佔一三壘，王讓打者擊出滾地，刺殺Finley於二壘。 　　五局被Rivesa打出陽春全壘打後，王用三個滾地連續血祭三名打者出局。 : "The sinkerball is what's made him," Stottlemyre said, "that and the added : velocity. Early on this spring, I'd kid him by telling him 'your middle name\ : not Ming, it's Down. It's Chien-DOWN Wang, don't forget that' and he'd smile : and nod. That's why I say he's aware of a lot more than he lets on." : Another example of that was when, in the first half of the season, Wang deci\ : he wanted to more closely imitate his idol, Hideo Nomo, and altered his : windup by lifting his arms higher over his head, as was the style of the : erstwhile Japanese pitching prodigy whose career has since flamed out. 　　 　　投教：「伸卡球是他最厲害的武器，還有附加的球速。春季開始時我還開玩笑 說『你的名字應該改成王掉民，不是王建民(因為伸卡往下掉？)』他笑著點點頭。 　　那就是為啥我會說他總是懂得比他表現出來的還多。」 　　另個佐證就是，前半球季時，王決定要模仿他的偶像野茂。然後他把手臂抬得比平 　　常還要高過頭一些，如同以前這個日本鬼才投手剛要開始大放光芒一樣。 : "I said to him: 'What do you want to do, wind up where he is?'" Stottlemyre : said in reference to the fact that Nomo, after being released by the last-pl\ : pitching-desperate Tampa Bay Devil Rays, was toiling for the Yankees' : Triple-A farm team in Columbus. "He gave me a knowing smile and that was the : end of the high-arm windup." 　　投教：「我問說『你想投得跟野茂一樣嗎？』」當時野茂被球隊釋出，正在洋基的 　　3A農場中打拼。 　　他會心地微笑了一下，之後就不再用那樣的姿勢投球。 : Stottlemyre does not say if he sees a lot of himself in Wang, but there is : clearly a special bond between the teacher and pupil - to the point where, on : Tuesday, Stottlemyre was concerned at how Wang would handle his first : postseason press conference. 　　投教沒有明說他在王的身上是不是看到了很多自己的影子，但師徒之間確實有種 　　特殊的牽絆。所以星期二的時候，投教特別擔心王怎麼面對第一次季後賽的賽後 　　記者會。 : "When he came back, I asked him how it went and what he said," Stottlemyre : related. "He said he just thanked all his friends and the 23 million people i : Taiwan." 　　投教：「建民回來的時候，我問他情況如何，他說他只是謝謝他的朋友們以及台 　　灣兩千三百萬的同胞。」 : Left unsaid was the thanks Stottlemyre, Torre and the millions of Yankee : legions had for him. He lost his first playoff start last night, but everyone : around him knew that, without him, none of them would have been here in the : first place. : Originally published on October 6, 2005 　　說不出口的是投教、托瑞、還有幾百萬洋基球迷對於王建民的由衷感謝。 　　昨天晚上王也許輸掉了他的第一場季後球賽，但是他身邊的每個人都清楚了解， 　　要是沒有他，大家現在根本就不會站在季後賽的球場上。 -- 最後一句有很深的意思　一句話很難表達 勉強翻出其中的一部分.. 波完才發現已經有很多高手波了　考慮良久還是上來讓大家鞭　 總之是翻譯練習　還請各位見諒　XDD --
