※ 引述《yyhong68 (come every now and then)》之铭言： : 08/30/2007 1:45 AM ET : Yankees seek sweep behind Wang : Boston (80-53) at New York (74-59), Thursday, 1:05 p.m. ET : By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com : Just like that, Chien-Ming Wang doesn't seem so young anymore. 就如同最近的表现，王建民再也不像是个轻涩的投手。 : He's always pitched well beyond his years, ever since arriving in the Bronx : as a collected 25-year-old in 2005. But since he's become the ace of a staff : that includes 21-year-old Phil Hughes and, now, 22-year-old Ian Kennedy, Wang : has had to assume an even greater maturity. : He's now a relatively elder statesman, trailing just Roger Clemens and : Andy Pettitte in years -- but pitching just as well, if not better, than both : of them. 即使在2005年他以25岁的年纪来到Bronx时，王的表现也还算超龄!但即使已经 成为球队的王牌(这个球队包括了21岁的休斯还有22岁的甘乃迪)，王还是得展现 更进一步的成熟度。因为跟那些小辈比起来，王已经是个得负起领导的老鸟了， 虽然只比派帅跟火箭人少了几年，但却可以跟他们并驾齐驱。 : And while Wang is still just 27, he's certainly not young. : "Not anymore, he isn't," said Yankees manager Joe Torre. "Our expectations : of him are pretty high." 虽然王只有27岁，却不再以年轻小夥子的身分被看待。 关於这点洋基总教练托瑞说"我们对他的期待可是远远超过27岁该有的表现呢!!" : Which means that when Wang takes the mound with a shot at a critical series : sweep -- as he will against the Red Sox on Thursday afternoon -- the Yankees : expect him to win. And why not? He's started 24 games, and the Yankees have : lost just six of them -- only one per month for each of the last three months. : He's already seen the Red Sox three times this year, and beaten them twice. 这也意味着，这个星期四下午，当小王站在投手丘上与红袜对决的时候，整个洋基都期待 他可以击败对手，以横扫的姿态取得这至关重要的系列赛。这是一定要的啊!!因为在小王 先发的24场比赛中，洋基只输了六场，而其中在最近的三个月每个月只输一场。 就今年来说，跟红袜对决的三次比赛中，小王已经痛击了对手两场。 : Yet those three starts were all completed by June 1, and while games at that : early stage of the year count just as much in the standings, they don't : usually weigh as much on the psyche. A win -- and a sweep -- would push the : Yankees almost as close to the Red Sox as they were a week and a half ago, : whereas a loss would wash away half the work they completed in the first : two games of the series. 不过那三场先发都是在六月一日前，对王而言只是季赛前半段例行性的出场，在心理 上并不会有太大的压力。若能赢得这场横扫式的胜利，却可以把洋基对红袜的胜差推进到 上上个礼拜前的状况。反之，若是输了，则会把先前两场系列赛的胜利喜悦，付之流水。 : Thursday's task of taking down Red Sox starter Curt Schilling won't be : easy -- but then again, neither was defeating Josh Beckett on Wednesday or : Daisuke Matsuzaka the night before. 要击败席林将是一件艰困的任务!!当然，同队的贝奇特跟松板大辅也不是好惹的。 : "Everyone you look at these three days is special," Torre said of the Boston : rotation. "They've got some horses they can throw out there." : Schilling remains a vital part of that stable, even as he ventures well past : 40 years old. He's recovered from a three-game losing streak to now win two : straight, and like Wang, he holds the hopes of his team on his shoulders. : There may ultimately be more hyped games to come, as the Yankees become more : and more likely to train their sights on the American League Wild Card. But : dismissing any game's importance at this time of year would be a critical : mistake. 托瑞看着红袜队的轮值表说"........................(不会翻)" 即使已经是四十岁的高龄，席林依然是稳定军心的重要角色。经过了三连败与最近 的两连胜，席林已经恢复了他应有的水准。而且就像小王一样，他也肩负着球队胜利 的希望。 正当洋基争夺美联外卡越来越有希望的同时，相信将有更多紧张刺激的比赛接踵而来。 但在此之前，若是轻忽任何一场比赛的重要性，一样会造成致命的伤害! : "There's 30 games left," Torre said, "and we're going to try to go out there : and win every one." 托瑞说"剩下30场比赛，我们一定会全力以赴，并且变身为完全体让对手死的很难看!!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 第一次翻译，有错请指正!! (感觉回到学生时代....囧) 下面这段就不翻了.... : Pitching matchup : NYY: RHP Chien-Ming Wang (15-6, 3.95 ERA) : Wang bounced back from two rough starts to give the Yankees two solid ones, : lasting eight innings in a win at Detroit last week. If he can beat the : Red Sox, it would mark the fourth time this season that he's had a winning : streak of at least three games. Wang has been shaky in three starts against : the Red Sox this year, allowing nearly two baserunners per inning, but still : managing to win two of his three starts. : BOS: RHP Curt Schilling (8-5, 4.11 ERA) : Schilling has allowed five earned runs all three times he's faced the Yankees : this season. Twice, the team has won -- though the right-hander was long gone : on both occasions. And while wins are the bottom line, Schilling can't be : encouraged by the fact that the Yankees are hitting him at a .372 clip. : Player to watch : David Ortiz hasn't had much trouble lifting Wang's sinker skyward, having : clubbed two homers in 24 career at-bats off the right-hander. He's also : amassed 10 other hits -- pushing his average off Wang to .500 -- and walked : five times. : http://tinyurl.com/2eogxm --
