※ 引述《xiemark (aisinjuro)》之銘言： : Wang at ease in two worlds 小王在兩個不同世界中如魚得水 : Thursday, May 31, 2007 : By ADITI KINKHABWALA : STAFF WRITER : There's the English and the food and of course the baseball. : But these days, the best acclimatization, the one thing : Chien-Ming Wang's most pleased he's gotten used to, is the : driving. 小王在美國要面對英文、美式食物，以及理所當然的，棒球。但是這陣子， 小王適應最好並感受最棒的，就是開車了。 : "Now I know where I'm going," the Yankees pitcher from : Taiwan said. "現在我知道我在開往哪裡了。"這位台灣來的洋基投手說。 : It's been seven years since the Yankees first brought the : strapping 6-foot-3, 220-pound right-hander West. Wang, who : starts Friday night against the Red Sox, was 20 and an : amateur and four years from finding the sinker that's now : made him essentially the Yankees' ace, a 19-game winner and : Cy Young runner-up last year in just his second full major : league season. 自從洋基把這位六呎三吋(191cm)高、220磅(95kg)重的右投帶到美國後， 已經過了七年的歲月了。在台灣時間禮拜六要對上紅襪的小王，當時還是 個20歲的菜鳥，並且花了四年才發掘出他現在的頭號武器--伸卡球。而這 個球種讓他去年拿下了19勝，並且成為了賽揚獎票選的第二名，而他僅是 個MLB二年級生罷了。 : He has an almost absurdly unassuming manner, and a way that : had him immediately at home in clubhouses half a world away : from his home, and as it turns out, he's always at least : looked like he knew where he was going. 他有個幾乎是不合常理的謙和個性，而這個個性讓他能夠立刻融入球團中， 一個在他故鄉地球另一端的地方。而也正是如此，他總是能夠看起來至少知 道他究竟要去什麼地方。 : Man of influence 一個有影響力的人物 : "Wang is?" Derek Jeter asked, hearing that Time magazine : recently tabbed Wang one of its Most Influential People in : the World. Purposely mispronouncing "Wohng" as "Wang," as he : has since the pitcher made the bigs, Jeter looked two : lockers down, laughed, and said, "Wang's a big stud?" "小王是其中之一?"當聽聞小王獲選為時代雜誌百大最有影響力人物之一時， 隊長Jeter問道。故意把"Wohng"念成"Wang"，當小王有如此成就時，Jeter往 兩格旁小王的置物櫃望去，然後說，"小王是個大傢伙? XD" (這段翻得沒啥把握...) : Since his arrival, Wang's simply fit in. He lost his : translator after his first year, and never protested when : the Yankees didn't get him another. He was wholly : embarrassed when the Staten Island Yankees, after a : two-year, 1.75 ERA, retired his number. And he shyly shook : his head all the way through his reading of author Betty Bao : Lord's homage in the Time 100, insisting Lord's : characterization that he was one of this generation's Jackie : Robinsons, breaking not "the color barrier" but "the culture : barrier," was "too much." 自從小王來到洋基，他很簡單地就融入其中。他在第一年之後就沒有翻譯， 而當洋基沒有幫他找另一個時，他也從未抗議過。當洋基一A的史坦頓島洋基隊 將他的球衣退休後(他在那邊的兩年中保有1.75的ERA)，他感到一整個害羞>///< 而當他羞澀地邊點著頭，邊讀了時代雜誌專文作者Betty Bao Lord描述他的文章時， 他堅稱Lord把他比做這個世代的Jackie Robinson，並且稱他"不僅打破種族藩籬， 並且打破了文化的隔閡"的敘述，"過獎了"。 : "I just do my job, playing baseball," the 27-year old said. "我只是作好我的工作，打棒球。"這位27歲的投手說。 : He's certainly adept at that, 3-4 this year despite a bad : hamstring taking the season's first month. But his job has : become so much more, especially to a country whose two : previous major-leaguers weren't nearly so accomplished. 他現在明顯是個熟手了，儘管今年被傷勢奪去了第一個月的出賽，仍有 三勝四負的成績。不過他現在的工作增加不少，尤其是當台灣前兩位大 聯盟選手都沒他如此傑出時。 : "We hope he can open a path for us," China Times reporter : Hung-Pin Lee said. "Because of him, we can introduce Major : League Baseball to Taiwan and maybe one day introduce Major : League Baseball to more Taiwanese." "我們希望他能夠開啟一條道路給我們。"中國時報的記者李弘斌說。 "因為他，我們可以把大聯盟介紹給台灣；而有一天，我們也或許可以 讓更多台灣人看美國大聯盟。" : The day of Wang's first start this year, the China Times put : his picture on its front page -- from just under the : masthead to the page's bottom with room for only one teeny : column of copy. Lee said Taiwan stops during his outings, as : everyone from grandmothers to Little Leaguers tune on TVs. 小王本季第一場先發時，中國時報把他的照片放上了頭版，全版的照片 只留了印刷用的白邊。李記者說整個台灣當他先發時都停擺了下來，而 從阿嬤到少棒的小球員都盯著電視看。 : "No, no, maybe some people watch," Wang protested. "My mom : and dad probably." "喔不，應該就只有一些人在看吧。"小王爭辯道，"大概就我爸媽會看吧。" : Honoring his parents 榮耀他的父母 : That mom and dad are still very much a part of Wang's life, : in a role unchanged by neither fame nor America. As is : Taiwanese custom, Wang and his wife live with his parents, : in the same small Tainan City home he was raised in, during : the off-season. His income dwarfs whatever their family : business making chopsticks nets, but Wang still defers to : his parents' counsel, and he's fiercely protective of them. 小王的父母依然是他生活中的極大部分，一個不會被名氣或美國生活改變 的部份。就像是台灣的習俗一般，小王跟他的老婆在休季時，回到他的故 鄉台南跟他的父母住在一起。小王家族做筷子套的生意，利潤跟小王現在 的收入相比根本是渺小無比，但是小王依然順從父母的建議，並且相當的 保護他的家人。 : Last summer, after telling a New York reporter the parents : who'd raised him had actually secretly adopted him from a : couple he thought to be his aunt and uncle, the Taiwanese : media went into a frenzy, putting his family under siege, : paparazzi-style. Censuring Taiwanese reporters for the : "harassment," Wang issued an edict saying he'd no longer : speak to them, and the story ultimately only highlighted his : belovedness. 去年夏天，在向紐約時報記者談到他的父母並非親生這件事時，全台的媒體 陷入瘋狂，並且讓他的家庭成天受狗仔所困擾。為了譴責台灣媒體的舉動， 小王發出通告說他將無限期停止受台灣媒體採訪，而這個回應最後反倒是增 加了他受歡迎的程度。 : The president of the Taiwanese Baseball Writers Association : immediately offered a mea culpa, admitting to : "unprofessionalism" and "abuse," and the Taiwanese people, : Lee said, "were mad at the media. They say, 'Reporters, you : are bad. You must respect Chien-Ming.' " 台灣棒球記者聯誼會立即以一份新聞稿回應，承認記者確有"不專業"及 "言論暴力"的狀況出現。並且李記者說台灣人民"對媒體十分憤怒"。 "他們說，'記者們，你們必須尊重王建民。'" : Of course, this isn't blind adoration for a countryman doing : good. The Taiwanese see what the Yankees have and what New : York fans are just starting to -- that Wang, as Jeter said, : "is just a good dude." 當然，這並不是不是一種盲目的崇拜一個有成就的國人。台灣人的確看到了 洋基隊有什麼，並且紐約的球迷正要開始做什麼--而小王，依照Jeter的說法， "只是一個好男孩罷了。" : Wang's funny and fun-loving. As spokesman of the 2009 World : Games, to be held in Taiwan, he donned a tux and did the : tango for a commercial. He sighs about the Taiwanese dishes : he misses and his wife's inability to make them, before : quickly saying in his quiet voice: "But she's a good cook. : Please write she's a good cook." 小王是個風趣並且惹人喜愛的人。擔任台灣舉辦的2009世運會代言人時，小王 穿上燕尾服，並且為了廣告效果跳探戈。他曾經嘆息著說他老婆不會做一些他 懷念的台灣菜餚，但立刻輕輕地改口說:"但她是個好廚師。請寫這句。" (XD) : He likes walking around New York City ("nobody knows me") : and he loves living in Edgewater ("everything there"). He : jokes about his inability to play basketball ("very ugly") : and his proclivity for ground ball outs ("good for my : teammates to work"). And he shyly admits how moved he was : when Robinson Cano insisted Wang teach him how to say : "brother" in Taiwanese. 他喜歡在紐約四處走走("沒人認識我啊")，而且他喜歡在Edgewater遊蕩("那邊 啥都有賣")。他經常自嘲他打籃球的糟糕("超醜的")，以及他的超高滾地球傾向 ("可以讓我的隊友們多有點工作"<---OFs:我們可閒的很...)。並且他害羞地承 認當台灣之友Cano不斷要小王教他台語的"兄弟"怎麼說時，他感到十分感動。 : Every day is a fun day 每天都充滿著樂趣 : That the Yankees do bank so much on Wang is in no small part : because of his personality. Manager Joe Torre said he's the : most even-tempered starter he's ever known, and catcher : Jorge Posada agreed, saying, "Every day is the same for him : -- fun." The catcher flat-out laughed when asked if Wang : ever mentioned the change-up he called that broke up his : perfect game in the eighth inning May 5. 洋基依賴小王有很大一部份也是因為他的人格。Torre說小王是個他看過個性 最平靜的先發投手，而吼黑也同意，並且說道，"每天對他而言都一樣--充滿 著樂趣"。當被問到小王在五月五號(美國時間)比賽的第八局後，是否有提過 那顆破壞了他的完美比賽的變速球時，這位捕手爆笑出來。 : "Wang? He didn't even know he had a perfect game," Posada : said, remembering how the pitcher kept wondering why no one : in the dugout would talk to him that afternoon. Manufactured : or not, that obliviousness ensures Wang suffers no pressure : as a beacon, for the injury-ravaged Yankees or his : Wang-crazy countrymen. "王？他根本連他自己投了個完美比賽都不知道。"Posada說，並且提道這位投手 是如何的困惑--當他的隊友在休息區都離他遠遠的時候。不管是否有被加油添醋 過，很明顯地，小王對身為一個指標人物--不論是受傷病所苦的洋基隊或是他的 "小王瘋"同胞們--完全感受不到任何壓力。 : And hey, it's gotten him here. And it'll surely take him : wherever it is he's going. 欸，對了，這就是把他帶到這邊來的因素；並且這個個性一定會把他繼續帶往 他要去的方向。 : E-mail: [email protected] 終於翻完了 這篇好長阿@@ 很久沒翻譯了 大家就隨意推吧XD 看完這篇很感動呢~~~超愛小王的大家應該也會這樣覺得吧!! -- 翻譯外電有什麼功用呢? 賺P幣.學英文.拼優文和爆文....很多很多 但是 絕對不能少了一股passion--我翻外電 因為我愛 王建民 我愛 棒球 所以我在電腦前用生命翻譯 用生命愛小王 (謎之音:沒錯!) 如果你覺得我翻的有問題 那一定要告訴我 這是我進步的動力 如果你覺得我翻的很棒 那就請你X->1 然後告訴我你的感受或者是心裡的感動 我是翔魚 請大家多多指教~ --
