[翻譯] Yankees drop game, set to Angels

[jurrasic (新的開始)]

好像沒看到人翻，我就獻醜了。

Yankees drop game, set to Angels
洋基輸球，天使贏得系列賽
Wang settles down, but offense held to one run
王穩住了，但打擊被壓制在一分

NEW YORK -- There are different methods of venting frustration: One of the
pillars in the Yankees' clubhouse is scarred with crumbling plaster, with the
indentation of a bat barrel clearly visible.

紐約-宣洩挫折有很多方式：洋基休息室內有一個柱子上充滿敲打的傷痕，球棒型的凹痕
歷歷可見。

The Yankees chose a different avenue for letting off steam on Saturday, taking
aim at home-plate umpire Jeff Nelson for his called strikeout of Bobby Abreu,
ending their 3-1 loss to the Angels and stranding the tying runs on base.

星期六洋基隊選擇另一個管道宣洩怒氣，他們指向主審Jeff Nelson，因為他的對Abreu的
三振判決確定了洋基隊以3:1敗給天使隊，留下追平分在壘上的殘壘。

The events turned manager Joe Torre's tone uncharacteristically testy, who
called the play "sad" and a "joke" while saying that the Yankees wished Abreu
at least could have determined his own fate.

這個事件使得托瑞的語氣異常的不滿，他稱那個判決"悲哀的"以及"可笑的"，並說洋基期
待至少Abreau能自己決定自己的命運。

"When you literally take the bat out of somebody's hands, you can't do anything
about it," Torre said. "It's not strike one. It's not strike two. It's strike
three."

"當你將球棒從他手中拿走時，他也無計可施了" 托瑞說。"(注意)那不是第一個好球，也
不是第二個好球，而是第三個好球"

The Yankees didn't muster much against Angels starter Kelvim Escobar -- who
limited the damage to one run over seven innings -- and waited until the ninth
inning to mount a late-afternoon rally.

洋基對天使的先發Escobar沒有太多進攻-Escobar在七局內將失分限制在一分-而直到第九
局才啟動一個傍晚的逆襲。

註: late-afternoon隱喻太晚。

Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez quickly recorded the first two outs in the
ninth, striking out Jason Giambi and Robinson Cano before Johnny Damon ripped
a pinch-hit single and took second base on defensive indifference.

天使隊救援投手K-Rod在第九局很快取得兩個出局數，三振了Giambi跟Cano。接著代打
Damon擊出一壘安打，並在野手選擇上站上二壘。

Melky Cabrera legged out an infield single off the glove of second baseman
Howie Kendrick, placing runners on the corners for Abreu.

Caberera擊出內野安打，二壘手無法確實接到，形成Abreu上場時一三壘有人。

註: runners on the corners就是一三壘有人。

The right fielder had a 1-2 count when Nelson rang him up on a pitch that
Torre described as being in the other batter's box. Abreu engaged in a heated
argument with Nelson, who talked back to the outfielder and told him, in
Abreu's words, that it had been a good pitch.

在這位右外野手(Abreu)先獲得兩好一壞後，接著的一球Nelson(主審)判了一個在拖瑞口
中直入另一打擊區的好球三振。Abreau強烈的向Nelson爭執，而他則跟這位外野手說，就
Abreu轉述，那是一個好球。

註: ring him up即為三振。這是來自銀行櫃檯在交易完成之後結算的譬喻。

Abreu spiked his batting helmet to the grass behind home plate before being
escorted off the playing field by teammates.

Abreu將頭盔摔向本壘板後的草地，在隊友的勸告下離開球場。

"I thought it was way, way, way away," Abreu said. "In that situation you have
to be sure which one is a ball and which one is a strike. That one is way off
the plate."

"我覺得那球非常非常非常的偏"Abreu說。"那種狀況下你必須非常確定那是壞球或是好球
。那一球非常偏離本壘板"

Abreu -- who was 1-for-5 in the game with three strikeouts -- said that he had
issues with Nelson's strike zone all afternoon, and could not remember being
more livid after a game.

Abreu-這一場一之五並有三個三振-說他一整個下午都對Nelson的好球帶有意見，而且不
記得有比這次賽後更生氣的"

"He was so inconsistent," Abreu said. "He called the high pitch, the low
pitch, away. It's like you have to go over and swing at everything, pretty
much."

"他實在很不前後一致"Abreu說"他判高球，低求，偏球都算好球。好像你必須要跨過去對
所有的球揮棒"

Having watched the pitch sequence unfold from third base, Damon said that Abreu
had a right to be upset.

由三壘方向看投球，Damon說Abeu有理由生氣。

"He shouldn't be [happy]," Damon said. "That's the way things have been going
around here, I guess."

"他不開心是合理的"Damon說。"最近這裡好像都是這樣(不開心)"

Though the Yankees had 26 outs to play with before the Abreu strikeout --
Torre said he didn't want to pin that singular play as the reason they lost --
some, like Damon, were left to wonder what might have happened if Abreu had
been given another pitch to hit.

雖然洋基隊在Abreu被三振前有26個出局數可以努力-托瑞說他不想要將一場球賽的勝負推
給一個判決-其他人，例如Damon，不免想像如果Abreu能有再一球可以打會發生什麼事。

"We had a real good chance," Damon said. "Bobby's been swinging the bat much
better. Unfortunately, they called strike three. He looked ready, but it's
real tough to hit a pitch that's outside."

"當時是我們很好的機會"Damon說"Bobby之前揮得更好。不幸地，他們判了三振。他看起
來準備就緒， 但要打這麼外的球太難了"

The final out was indicative of the Yankees' frustrations as they continue to
dig out from a deficit to the American League East-leading Red Sox. The loss
dropped the Yankees to five games under .500, the third time they have reached
that season-low point.

最後一個出局數顯現了洋基隊持續落後美聯東區領先者紅襪隊的挫折感。輸掉這場使得洋
基隊的勝率低於0.500五場之多，是本季第三次他們達到這個最低點。

As catcher Jorge Posada addressed reporters following the game, he answered a
few questions before bolting for an exit, saying, "See you guys tomorrow. This
is a lot of fun, talking about the same [stuff] over and over."

就像捕手Posada在賽後接受採訪時，在回答幾個問題之後就向出口逃跑，說""明天見。
這(回答記者問題)真的很愉快，一直不停的重複同樣的事"

Chien-Ming Wang started for New York and experienced a rough beginning,
serving up three runs in the first before blanking the Angels the rest of the
way in his second eight-inning performance of the year.

洋基的先發王建民開賽時遇到亂流，在第一局失三分後便讓天使在他本季的第二次八局投
球下繳白券。

Even with a season-high six strikeouts in a six-hit, four-walk performance
before handing the ball off to Mariano Rivera for the ninth inning, Wang
accepted responsibility for the Yankees' loss.

即使在將球交給Rivera之前繳出了本季最高的六個三振，以及六支安打，四個保送的表現
，王還是自己擔下了輸球的責任。

"If I don't give up three runs, the team would have had a chance to win,"
Wang said.

"如果我沒有失去那三分，本隊就有機會獲勝"王說。

註: 這一句很有趣。正確文法是If I "didn't" give up three runs....當然王英文有錯
不應苛責，但第二句"would have had"文法又對了。而且第二句的用法還比第一句難掌
握。不知道是不是記者故意編排，讓讀者一方面能感受到王是外國人，另一方面還能懂
王的意思？

Wang couldn't find a consistent release point in the first inning and left
his pitches up, and the Angels jumped out early. Reggie Willits walked and
Vladimir Guerrero stroked a one-out single before Gary Matthews Jr. came
through with a two-run triple to left-center. Casey Kotchman followed with a
run-scoring single to left to complete the opening barrage.

王在第一局無法找到穩定的放球點，並放球太高，而天使隊很快取得先機。Willits被保
送後Guerrero擊出一個一出局的一壘安打，之後Matthews Jr. 擊出了一個兩分的三壘安
打。Kotchman跟著擊出一個左外野得分的一壘安打，結束了開場的猛烈攻擊。

Posada and pitching coach Ron Guidry took Wang aside in the dugout following
the three-run first and reminded him to keep his arm up as he delivered pitches.

Posada與投球教練Guidry在那支三壘安打之後將王拉到投手丘旁，提醒他球出手時手抬高
。

"For the first three innings, [Wang] had trouble locating, and then after
that he just dug in," Torre said. "He's special. There's no question. He's not
going to back off; he's going to keep fighting you, and he certainly put
himself in a position to stop the damage and try to win a ballgame."

"前三局王控球不穩，之後他便埋頭苦投"托瑞說。"他很特別。毫無疑問。他不會撤退，
會一直戰鬥，他無疑地努力止住損害並維持一個可以獲勝的局勢"

Wang stranded the bases loaded in the second and allowed a leadoff double to
Kotchman in the third before retiring 17 of the next 19 batters to close out
his day.

王在第二局留下滿壘的殘壘，在第三局留下率先上壘的Kotchman在三壘的殘壘，隨後解決
掉剩下的19名打者的17名。

"He pitched a [heck] of a ballgame," Posada said. "He was tough all day. We
had guys on base, but we couldn't score."

"他投了一場精采的比賽"Posada說。"他一整天都很堅穩。我們一直有很上壘，但始終無
法得分"

The Yankees cracked through against Escobar in the fourth. Alex Rodriguez
opened the inning with a single, stole second and went to third on a groundout
before coming home on Doug Mientkiewicz's opposite-field hit with two outs.

洋基在第四局突破了Escobar。A-Rod率先擊出了一壘安打，盜上二壘，並靠一個滾地球上
三壘。最後在兩出局後Mientkiewicz的反方向安打下得一分。

But that was all the Yankees would manage against Escobar, who limited New
York to six hits in a seven-inning, eight-strikeout performance.

但那是洋基唯一一次突破Escobar，此人在七局內將洋基控制在六安打，並有八次三振。

Escobar walked just one in the 103-pitch effort and also hit a batter before
yielding to Scot Shields for the eighth inning.

在將球交給Shields之前，Escobar 在103球之中只保送一次以及一個觸身球。

"You can't look at the standings. Who cares about the standings?" said Derek
Jeter, whose hitting streak came to an end after an 0-for-4 day. "You have to
try to find ways to win games, because ... if you don't win, you're not gaining
any ground. We have to worry about ourselves."

"你不能光看排名。誰在乎排名啊？"Jeter說，他的連續安打紀錄在今天的0-4 後結束。
"你必須找方法贏球，因為…如果不贏，就沒辦法上升。我們必須擔心我們自己"


感想
1. 其實我覺得王說自己要負敗戰責任是不太恰當的。大家都看得出來他已經做得很夠了
。即使是客氣話，美國人不一定欣賞這種分擔責任不清不楚的態度。

2. 記者跟托瑞說得有理，洋基隊有26個出局數都沒有反攻成功，也沒有抗議好球帶變形
，卻直到最後一個出局數才抗議，這是在推託責任。而且主審算是變形得很始終如一(對洋基跟天
使一樣變形)，不能輸得就跳出來抗議。

3. 台灣的報紙也應該效法美國，在報導判決問題時把裁判的名字寫出來。一方面是尊重
裁判，另一方面是讓裁判有負責的自覺。

4. 面對這支球隊，投得這樣，已經非常好了。王應該已經完全去除對天使隊的任何陰影
了(如果有的話)。
