WASHINGTON -- Just as an auto mechanic works to fix up a car, Don
Mattingly is attempting to fix Alex Rodriguez.
一如修好車是一個技師的職責， Don Mattingly 正試圖修復 Alex Rodriguez
。

Mattingly, the Yankees' hitting coach, detected a flaw in Rodriguez's
swing over the past few days, and the pair believe that with a little
work, A-Rod will work his way out of his horrific slump.
Mattingly ， 洋基的打擊教練，在過去幾天發現 Rodriguez 揮棒動作裡一個缺
點，這對搭檔相信下點功夫後， A-Rod 就能用他的方式走出可怕的低潮。

"The number one step is to realize you have an issue, address it and
move forward," Rodriguez said Friday night. "The relief is that there
is an issue, and we can address it. It's better than just struggling
and feeling like you're lost."
"第一步是了解你有個問題，料理他然後跨步向前，" 週五晚上 Rodriguez 如此
表示。 "令人如釋重負的是哪兒有個問題，然後我們能了結它。這比在那邊掙扎
然後感覺像是你迷失了要好的多。 "

Rodriguez refused to get into details about his mechanics, saying the
issue was too complicated. Mattingly tried to put it in basic terms,
saying that A-Rod was not staying on his back leg and carrying his
weight effectively.
Rodriguez 拒絕透露關於他的揮棒結構的細節，說這個問題太複雜難懂。
Mattingly 試著用簡單的詞彙來解釋，說 A-Rod 過去沒有留住他的後腳與有效
的移動重心。

"Right now, when he picks his foot up, he's falling forward,"
Mattingly said. "He really needs to be able to glide and ride that
leg. Everything we do over the next couple of days will work towards
that."
"現在，當他抬起他的腳時，他向前傾倒，" Mattingly 說。 "他真的需要能夠
滑動而且支配他的腳，接下來幾天我們做的事情將會有助於這個問題。"

"At this point," Mattingly added, "I felt like we needed to have an
intervention here and try something a little different."
"在這個時候，" Mattingly 補充說明著， "我覺得我們需要在這有個調停與試
些不一樣的事情。 "

Mattingly spoke with Rodriguez following his eighth-inning at-bat on
Friday, after A-Rod struck out with the bases loaded.
當週五第八局 A-Rod 滿壘被三振後 Mattingly 跟 Rodriguez 談話。

"I think it's a common thing for anybody that struggles. You either go
forward or come sideways," Mattingly said. "It's been long enough now
that I think he needs to try a few different things, get his feel back
more than anything."
"我想這對任何一個掙扎中的人來說是很正常的事。你不是前進就是閃躲，"

Mattingly 表示。 "這個低潮已經夠久了，我想他需要試點不一樣的方法，把他
的感覺找回來比什麼都重要。"

Rodriguez entered Saturday's game in a 4-for-25 skid, having gone 1-
for-5 with three strikeouts on Friday. He was hitting .156 (7-for-45)
in June with one home run and three RBIs.
直到週六的比賽 Rodriguez 止住 25打席 4 安打的頹勢，在週五 5 打席 1 安
打與三次三振。六月至今打擊率 156 (7-for-45) 一支全壘打三分打點。

"We all know what kind of player he is and what kind of ability he
has," Joe Torre said. "He gets in his own way, maybe, the combination
of over preparation and the fact that he's pressing."
"我們都知道他是個怎麼樣的選手以及他有著什麼能力，" Joe Torre 說著。 "
他正依著自己的步調前進，也許，事實上他已經快被菜單上那些過度練習壓垮啦。"

Mattingly and A-Rod were at RFK Stadium early Saturday morning,
working in the batting cage.
週六一早 Mattingly 與 A-Rod 就在 RFK Stadium 打擊場裡努力著。

"When you have a mechanical thing, you have to address it," Rodriguez
said. "Before you do, you may have a Band-Aid on something, but it's
not really going to be fixed; especially the way I want to fix it,
because I want to do special things."
"當你有技巧的問題，你必須對付它" Rodriguez 說，"在你這麼做以前，你也許
頭痛醫頭腳痛醫腳，但那不是真的解決了；尤其是我想要解決這個問題，因為我
想做些特別的事情。"

"He's no different than anybody else; it happens to everybody,"
Mattingly said. "A guy of his caliber is going to come out of it. If I
didn't say one thing the rest of the year, he'd find it himself."
"他跟其他人沒兩樣；這發生在每個人身上，" Mattingly 說著。"一個有他那樣
才幹的人會從低潮中走出來，假使今年接下來我什麼都沒說，他仍能找回他自己
。"
