第一次翻，將就看看囉（這是第三篇）： I try not to get indignant about trivial things, and the NBA’s annual all-rookie team is just a step above trivial. 我試著不要太拘泥於小事情，而NBA的年度新人隊僅比小事情重要一點點。 Still, right and wrong matter and Charlotte Bobcats point guard Raymond Felton was wronged big-time by three NBA head coaches. 然而，對錯是重要的。3個NBA總教練嚴重低估了山貓的後衛Felton。 Felton missed first-team all-rookie Thursday, primarily because three NBA head coaches left him off their ballots entirely. Technically four did, but one of those was Bernie Bickerstaff, who was barred from voting for his own player. 這禮拜四，因為3個總教練沒有投他一票，Felton無法成為新人第一隊。嚴格來說有4個 教練沒有投他一票，不過其中一個是畢胖，而他無法投票給自己隊上的球員。 Now, tell me: Is it possible for an NBA head coach to be so vapid, so out of touch, that he missed what Felton did after the All-Star break? He was Eastern Conference rookie of the month in February, March and April. You could argue that in that span - half the season - he was equal to Chris Paul and clearly better than any other player in the rookie class. 現在，請你告訴我，一個NBA總教練真的有可能這麼不識相，這麼跟環境脫節，以致於他 沒注意到Felton在明星賽之後的表現？他是東區2,3,4月的當月新人，你甚至可以在這段 期間（半個球季）裡，他的表現與 Chris Paul視為旗鼓相當，且明顯優於任何一個一年 級生。 Was he better than New Orleans’ Paul? No way, at least over the entire season. Was he better than Utah’s Deron Williams and New York’s Channing Frye? Clearly he was, and those two were first-team in a vote that disregarded positions. 他有比黃蜂的Paul好嗎？並沒有，至少整季來說並沒有。但他有比爵士的Deron Williams ，尼克的 Channing Frye好嗎？很明顯的他有。而當不將位置列入考量時，上述兩位都有 被選為新人第一隊。 I’ve heard two theories on how this could have happened. Either the coaches just weren’t paying attention when they filled out their ballots, or a handful of them were trying to rig the voting to get their guys on first team. 我聽說過兩種之所以會發生這種事的說法。要不是教練在投票時漫不經心，要不就是他們 在努力讓他們的球員能進入第一隊。 Since I hate it when people accuse me of malfeasance, I’ll assume the coaches just screwed up. And if that’s true, then maybe it’s time to turn these votes over to another body, like the media. Because if the coaches aren ’t taking it seriously, why have them vote at all? 由於我痛恨別人說我瀆職，我在這就只是假設教練們犯了個錯。而如果這屬實，則或許該 是把投票權轉移給別人，比方說媒體，的時候了。因為如果教練在投票時心不在焉，他們 一開始何必要投票？ -- 時間的每一個角落： http://blog.yam.com/rorschach/ --
