※ 引述《yyhong68 (come every now and then)》之铭言： : 这是2005年春训时的报导 : 若有OP，请告知，因为找没看到 : Wang's Fastball Translates Just Fine : By TYLER KEPNER : Published: February 26, 2005 : TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 25 - On the third day of spring training for Yankees : pitchers last Saturday, Chien-Ming Wang, a 24-year-old with no major : league experience, made an error in fielding practice. Then he made an : error in etiquette. 在洋基投手的春训第三天，24岁、没有大联盟经验的王建民，在防守练习时犯了一个错误 。然後他在礼节上又犯了一个错误。 : As penance for the fielding misplay, Wang had to choose two teammates : to join him on a run from the mound to the foul pole and back. One of : them was a thoroughly amused Randy Johnson, the decorated 17-year veteran, : who jogged to the pole and faked a limp on his way back. 作为防守失误的弥补，王必须选择两个队友和他一起加入从投手丘到外野之间的来回跑步 。其中之一是完全被逗乐的十七年老手Randy Johnson，他慢慢的跑步并且在回程中佯装 跛脚。 : "He thought that we were pretty good friends," Johnson said. 「王认为我们是相当好的朋友。」Randy Johnson说。 : It was an excusable blunder. Wang (pronounced Wong) worked out at the : same Phoenix training facility as Johnson in January. They are represented : by the same agency, CSMG Sports, and Wang felt a familiarity with a : fellow ace. 这是一个可原谅的错误。王一月时在凤凰城锻链自己，和Johnson使用相同的训练设施。 他们的经纪公司相同，而王对於这个队上的王牌投手感到亲切。 : Wang, a right-hander, was the best pitcher for the Chinese Taipei Olympic : team, making two starts in Athens last summer with a 1.98 earned run : average. This season, the Yankees expect him to be the top starter for : Class AAA Columbus. 王建民，右投手，是中华台北奥运代表队的最佳投手，在上个夏季的雅典奥运中先发两场 ，留下平均1.98的防御率。这一季，洋基期待他能成为3A的顶尖先发投手。 : "He's on schedule," General Manager Brian Cashman said. "He's a guy we : gave a lot of money to and we had high aspirations for. So far, he's : developed as we expected. He's kind of right on line, and he's our No. 1 : pitching prospect." 现金人说，「他正照着计划走。」「我们在他身上投资许多，而我们非常渴望他能成功。 到目前为止，他如我们所想的发展。他走在对的道路上，并且他是我们的第一号潜力投手 。」 : Baseball America ranked Wang 10th over all in the Yankees' system, behind : three pitchers at Class A or lower. Those rankings are based on long-term : potential, Cashman said, "but this guy, you don't have to project; he's : on the verge." Baseball America将王列为洋基系统的第十好手，排名在1A的三个投手之後，这些排名看 重长期潜力。现金男说：「但是这个家伙，你不用去预测他会如何，他已经在界线上了。 」 : In the Yankees' world, that could mean on the verge of being traded. After : the five regular starters, the Yankees' emergency starter is Tanyon Sturtze, : who will be in the bullpen. Wang is the seventh starter, and if he continues : his progress with Columbus, he could be trade bait in July. 在洋基的世界里，在界线上可以指被交易。在五场例行先发後，洋基的紧急先发投手是 Tanyon Sturtze, 他将在牛棚待命。王是第七号先发，如果他在3A继续发展下去，他能在 七月时成为交易的对象。 : Wang speaks Mandarin, and he politely indicated that his English was not : good enough for an interview. Asked if he wanted to pitch in the majors : this season, he said, "I hope so." 王说中文，他礼貌地指出他的英文程度还不足已应付采访。当被问到是否他想在这季登上 大联盟，他说：「我希望能。」 : Manager Joe Torre is a fan. In a previous spring training, Torre said, he : was so impressed watching Wang pitch that he called over Mel Stottlemyre, : the pitching coach, and George Steinbrenner, the principal owner. 总教练Joe Torre是他的支持者。在上一次的春训里，Torre说，他对王的投球印象深刻， 他因此连络投手教练Mel Stottlemyre, 还有大老板George Steinbrenner。 : "I like him," said Torre, who watched Wang throw batting practice on a : side field on Friday. "He's got good presence out there. It just looks : like his ball picks up a little bit on the way to the plate." 「我喜欢他。」Torre说，他在周五看了王在打击练习的喂球表现。「他表现得很好。 他的球像是会选路径进入本垒板。」 : Wang, who appears taller than his listed height of 6 feet 3 inches, : is sneaky fast, in the baseball vernacular. He has a slow delivery, : making the speed on his fastball seem surprising. He throws a slider : and has a splitter, just like his idol, Roger Clemens. 王建民本人看起来比他六尺三寸的身高还高一点，用棒球的话来说，他的快并不明显。他 出手慢，这因此使他的球速看起来惊人。如同他的偶像火箭人，他也投滑球和指叉球。 : "At the time he signed, Roger was with the Yankees," said Alan Chang, Wang's : primary agent. "He knew all about the tradition the Yankees have. When he : signed there, that was like his dream come true." 「在王建民签约时，火箭人还在洋基。」王的经纪人Alan Chang说。「他知道洋基的所有 传统。当他签约时，就像梦想终於成真。」 : John Cox, the Yankees' Pacific Rim scouting coordinator, tracked Wang in : 2000 at a tournament in Taiwan. Wang was only mildly impressive, and Cox : said other scouts moved on to a tournament in Japan. John Cox, 洋基在环太平洋地区的球探，在2000年时就追踪王建民的表现。王当时只让人 留下一点印象，Cox说其他球探後来就移往日本的赛事了。 : "I stayed, and it was one of the best things I ever did," he said. "There : was something about him that was getting my attention." 「而我留下来，这是我作过最棒的事情之一。」他说。「他的某些事情抓住我的注意力。 」 : The more he watched, the more Cox noticed Wang's competitiveness. Late in : the tournament, in a tight game with runners in scoring position, Wang : threw harder, with a better slider. His demeanor changed. Wang, a : mild-mannered college student off the field, was tough on it. 看得愈多，Cox就愈注意到王建民的竞争力。在赛事末段，在一场紧绷的比赛中，跑者已 到达得分位置，此时王建民却投出更好的滑球。他的样子变了，这个在场外个性温和的大 学生，在场内却强悍无比。 : In May 2000, the Yankees made the highest bonus offer, $1.9 million, : and assigned Wang to Class A Staten Island. He pitched well that summer : of 2000 but tore his right labrum the next spring and missed a full season. : He has progressed since then, earning a promotion from Class AA Trenton : to Columbus in July and winning the Yankees' minor league pitcher of : the year award. After losing his first start at Columbus, Wang went 5-0 : with a 1.05 E.R.A. 在2000年五月，洋基提供了一个190万美元的机会，签下王建民并送至1A球队。他在2000 年的夏天投得很好，但下个春天却受伤，错过整个球季。 他从那之後大有进展，在七月时升到3A并赢得洋基小联盟年度投手奖。在输了3A的第一场 比赛後，王连胜五场、防御率1.05。 : Just as he had in Taiwan, Wang got tougher in tighter spots. 就如同他在台湾表现的，王在紧绷的情况下表现更强悍。 : "You wish he'd get mad like that right out of the chute," said the Yankees' : bullpen coach Neil Allen, the pitching coach for Columbus last season. : "He'll go along for three or four innings, and all of a sudden a situation : develops and he picks his whole game up. It starts boiling inside him, : and then he keeps that the rest of the way." 「你希望他像急速滑行般的疯狂。」洋基牛棚教练Neil Allen说，他是上一季2A的的投手 教练。「他将会投三或四局，然後忽然进展到投完整场比赛。这开始在他心中沸腾，然後 他会一直这样作下去。」 : Wang pulled a hamstring in the International League playoffs and returned : to Taiwan after the season. On the advice of his agents, he worked out in : Phoenix and absorbed lessons there from Johnson and Kimiyasu Kudo, a : well-known Japanese pitcher for the Yomiuri Giants. 王在国际联盟季後赛中拉伤肌腱，并在球季结束後返回台湾。在经纪人的建议下，他在凤 凰城继续努力，并且从Randy Johnson和Kimiyasu Kudo身上学到许多。 : "He wanted to come early to get himself in the best possible shape," Chang : said. 「他想要早一点让自己处於最佳状态。」经纪人说。 : Now that he is here, Wang will keep an eye on his famous friend to make sure : he is doing the same. 现在他在这里，王将注意他的名人朋友的一举一动，并确保自己作相同的事。 : http://tinyurl.com/2h7b53 --
