'Kill The Wave' effort at Nats Park gains following
WASHINGTON - A group of Washington Nationals fans want to end the
fan tradition of doing the wave at Nats Park. But the effort, called
"Kill The Wave," is getting mixed reviews from Nats fans.
一群國民粉絲希望終止主場傳統的波浪舞。
但是這群粉絲的努力，稱之為＂Kill The Wave＂，
卻引起其他粉絲們正反不同的意見。
Nationals fan blog, Nats101.com, is one blog behind the push to end
the wave. In fact, "No Waves" is listed as the second of four rules
on the Nats 101 website under "Class Ground Rules."
粉絲部落格Nats101.com是幕後推動這個運動的部落格之一。
事實上No Waves在此站的四個基本守則中列於第二：
１．PLAY HARD 叫大聲點
２．NO WAVES! 不准發浪
３．NO BOOING YOUR OWN GUYS 不准噓自己人
４．SIT UNTIL THE INNING IS OVER 半局打完再抬起屁股
Blog Editor in Chief Frank Lattuca says while the wave is traditionally
something fans do during a slow game, it has become a distraction
during Nationals game action.
編輯長Frank Lattuca說在節奏緩慢的賽事裡發浪，
將會導致國民隊的球員分散專注度。
"Lately, it just sort of seems to be a thing that -- come the sixth
inning -- somebody wants to do the wave, regardless of the situation
in the game," Lattuca says.
＂最後，這只不過是種在六局下半上演的表面功夫。
某些人就是想玩，根本不管球場上的狀況適不適合。＂
Lattucas說。
The "Kill The Wave" effort is really about respecting other fans at
the ballpark, he says.
Kill The Wave才是真正尊重其他球場內的粉絲。
"It is a fun thing to do ... But it indicates you're not really paying
attention to the game that's going on, and it distracts other people
too," Lattuca says.
＂發浪還挺有意思的其實．．．但這表示你沒有專心在球場上，
也同時會轉移其他觀眾的注意力。＂
The wave is traditionally done in the second half of the game -- in
the sixth or seventh innnings -- as fans stand and throw their hands
in the air, mimicking a wave.
習慣上通常在球賽下半場的六或七局開始浪，
粉絲會站起來然後向空中舉起雙手模仿海浪。
Some fans enjoying the game against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday
night were disappointed to hear about the effort to end the stadium
tradition at Nats Park.
某些很享受在週四晚上對決芝加哥白襪的粉絲，
對於有人在主場推動殺浪感到失望。
"I think the wave is kinda like a symbol of baseball and everybody
does the wave at every single park. I think it's a dumb petition to
have no wave," says 13-year- old fan Paul Huddleston.
＂我覺得發浪是類似一種棒球運動裡的象徵，每個球場裡的每個人都會玩。
殺浪運動實在蠻蠢的。＂
13歲的Paul Huddleston表示。
His dad agrees.
他的老爸也同意。
"We had to wait 30 years to get baseball back, so let's have the wave,"
Bill Huddleston says.
＂我們等了30年才等到一支強隊，就浪個爽吧。＂
Bill Huddleston如是說。
But fan Greg Dick disagrees, calling it a distraction.
另一個粉絲Greg Dick就不贊同。
稱發浪只會分散注意力。
"Just watch the game. We came to the baseball game to watch baseball
not to do the wave," Dick says.
＂看球就好。我們是來看球，又不是來浪的。＂
Does banning the wave change the fan experience? Lattuca says no.
殺浪會改變粉絲的看球體驗嗎？Lattuca認為不會。
"It's not as if we're doing the wave in between innings when nothing
is going on, like we do the Presidents' Race and other things. It's
happening during the game when action is taking place," he says.
＂發浪不像總統賽跑或其它活動是在局與局之間舉行，
都是在比賽開始了才玩。＂
Nats101.com is one of a handful of Nationals fan groups taking action
against the wave, most expressing their displeasure with the tradition
on Twitter:
Nats101.com是少數殺浪運動的粉絲團之一，
其他人也在推特上表達對這個傳統活動的不悅。
Fan blog, The Nationals Archive, is also advocating a change at Nats Park.
The Nationals Archive也提倡改變。
"Many of the fans don't like it. We think it's disrespectful to distract
other fans who are enjoying the game. Within our Twitter and Facebook
universe, we've seen that more people dislike it than like it. You can
argue sample bias, but majority rules, right," says Allan Peterson with
the Nationals Archive.
＂許多粉絲並不喜歡發浪。
我們覺得對其他試圖享受比賽而不被干擾的粉絲來說很失禮。
在我們的推特跟臉書上討厭的比喜歡的還多，
你可以說樣本帶有成見，但少數服從多數。
對吧？＂
Nationals Archive的Allan Peterson表示。
Beyond the distraction to fans and players, Lattuca adds he and his
friends think the wave is bad luck for the team.
除了讓粉絲與球員打散注意力以外，
Lattuca與他的朋友也覺得發浪會給球隊帶賽。
Capital City Apparel is selling a T-shirt with the "Kill the Wave" logo,
but so far sales have been slow, according to Max Duchaine who is printing
the shirts.
Capital City Apparel正在賣殺浪T，
http://0rz.tw/mBsKq
但印製者Max Duchaine說到目前為止銷售緩慢。
The T-shirts are only one part of the already growing movement, which
includes flyers and pins.
殺浪T只是正在進行的宣傳之一，其它還有傳單跟別針。
"We also have a semi-partnership with a Nationals fan group, the Half
Street Irregulars ... Some of their T-shirts also have the "Kill the
Wave" logo on them," Duchaine says in an email to WTOP.
＂我們還有一些半正式的國民粉絲團一起合作。
像Half Street Irregulars．．．他們有些T也會印上Kill The Wave。＂
Duchainey在寄給WTOP的mail裡這麼表示。
