A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
棒球
Baseball
Baseball is only a game, a game of inches and a lot of luck. During a time of all-out war, sports are very insignificant.
棒球只不过是一场比赛,一场只有几英寸高、运气好的比赛。在全面战争时期,体育运动是微不足道的。
I have observed that baseball is not unlike a war, and when you come right down to it, we batters are the heavy artillery.
我观察到棒球和战争没有什么不同,当你直接面对它的时候,我们击球手就是重型火炮。
I'm a guy who just wanted to see his name in the lineup everyday. To me, baseball was a passion to the point of obsession.
我只是一个每天都想在阵容中看到自己名字的人。对我来说,棒球是一种近乎痴迷的激情。
Whether you want to or not, you do serve as a role model. People will always put more faith in baseball players than anyone else.
不管你愿意与否,你都是一个榜样。人们总是比任何人都更相信棒球运动员。
Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players and if you keep them in the right frame of mind then the manager is a success.
棒球是一项简单的运动。如果你有好的球员,如果你让他们保持正确的心态,那么教练就是一个成功的教练。
Only in baseball can a team player be a pure individualist first and a team player second, within the rules and spirit of the game.
只有在棒球运动中,一名队员才能在比赛规则和精神的约束下,首先成为纯粹的个人主义者,其次才是一名队员。
Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in.
整夜和女人在一起不会伤害职业棒球运动员。就是整夜不睡找一个害他的女人。
Now that women are jockeys, baseball umpires, atomic scientists, and business executives, maybe someday they can master parallel parking.
现在女性都是骑师、棒球裁判、原子科学家和企业高管,也许有一天她们能掌握平行停车。
Baseball hasn't been the national pastime for many years now - no sport is. The national pastime, like it or not, is watching television.
棒球多年来都不是全国性的消遣活动——没有一项运动是。不管你喜不喜欢,看电视是全国人民的消遣。
I was looking for something like baseball, where there's a lot of data and the competition was pretty low. That's when I discovered politics.
我想找的是棒球之类的运动,那里有很多数据,而且竞争相当激烈。那时我发现了政治。
If I had to name the number one asset you could have for any sport I'd say speed. In baseball, all a guy with speed has to do is make contact.
如果要我说你在任何运动中拥有的第一资产,我会说是速度。在棒球运动中,速度快的人所要做的就是与人接触。
Don't ever forget two things I'm going to tell you. One, don't believe everything that's written about you. Two, don't pick up too many checks.
永远不要忘记我要告诉你的两件事。第一,不要相信关于你的一切。第二,不要拿太多的支票。
