A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
棒球
Baseball
There are no war stories. I ended up a bombardier, but I never got overseas. And it wasn't because I was playing baseball either. It was just a series of things that went on.
没有战争故事。我最终成为一名投弹手，但我从未出过国。也不是因为我在打棒球。只是发生了一系列的事情。
The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money and that's it, not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it.
今天棒球最大的问题是，大多数球员在比赛中是为了钱，而不是为了热爱它，为它而兴奋，为它而激动。
I knew I wasn't a baseball writer. I was scared to death. I really was afraid to talk to players, and I didn't want to go into the press box because I thought I was faking it.
我知道我不是棒球作家。我吓得要死。我真的很害怕和球员们交谈，我不想进入记者席，因为我觉得我在假装。
People like us are afraid to leave ball. What else is there to do? When baseball has been your whole life, you can't think about a future without it, so you hang on as long as you can.
像我们这样的人不敢离开球。还有什么可做的?当棒球成为你的全部生活时，你无法想象没有它的未来，所以你要尽可能地坚持下去。
When I was real young I wanted to play baseball. I really loved playing center field, but that was never anything I was really ever that good at. I played up until I was in ninth grade.
当我真正年轻的时候，我想打棒球。我真的很喜欢打中锋，但那从来都不是我真正擅长的。我一直打到九年级。
I think that's why I like baseball. There's something great about it - you're young, the pitcher's young and he's got this great arm, and he doesn't really realize anything about strategy.
我想这就是我喜欢棒球的原因。这很了不起——你很年轻，投手很年轻，他有很好的手臂，但他对策略一无所知。
As a kid I was fascinated with sports, and I loved sports more than anything else. The first books I read were about sports, like books about Baseball Joe, as one baseball hero was called.
当我还是个孩子的时候，我就对运动很着迷，而且我最喜欢运动。我读的第一本书是关于运动的，就像棒球英雄乔的书一样。
In life, so many things are taken for granted, but one thing I can honestly say is that I took every day, enjoyed the game of putting on that uniform and playing the great game of baseball.
在生活中，很多事情都被认为是理所当然的，但有一件事我可以诚实地说，我每天都在享受着，享受着穿上棒球服的比赛，享受着伟大的棒球比赛。
I don't play fantasy baseball anymore now because it's too much work, and I feel like I have to hold myself up to such a high standard. I'm pretty serious about my fantasy football, though.
我现在不再打幻想棒球了，因为工作太多了，我觉得我必须把自己提高到这么高的水平。不过，我对我的梦幻足球很认真。
Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you're playing against yourself and nature.
运动是生活的一个极好的比喻。在我参加过的所有运动中——滑雪、棒球、钓鱼——没有比高尔夫更伟大的例子了，因为你在与自己和大自然对抗。
I am involved in minor league baseball. I go around the country speaking to troubled youths, trying to help them understand that whatever path they choose, they'll need to really pay attention to it.
我参加了少年棒球联盟。我走遍全国，与那些有问题的年轻人交谈，试图帮助他们理解，无论他们选择哪条道路，他们都需要真正关注它。
In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.
在棒球运动中，我的理论是努力保持一致性，而不是担心数字。如果你沉迷于统计数据，你就会变得目光短浅，如果你的目标是一致性，那么最终的结果就会在那里。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Maintain 'baseball cards' and/or 'believability matrixes' for your people. Imagine if you had baseball cards that showed all the performance stats. You could see what they did well and poorly and call on the right people to play the right positions in a very transparent way.
为你的员工维护“棒球卡”和/或“可信矩阵”。想象一下，如果你有棒球卡，上面显示了所有的性能数据。你可以看到他们做得好与不好，并呼吁正确的人以一种非常透明的方式扮演正确的角色。
Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.
棒球是热血男人的一项充满活力的运动。这不是粉红色的茶，小宝贝们最好待在外面。这是一场争夺霸权的斗争，一场适者生存的斗争。
In baseball, I was a pitcher, which I hated because there was no action there.
在棒球运动中，我是一名投手，我讨厌这一点，因为那里没有动作。
I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice.
我是一个非常危险的击球手，甚至在击球练习中故意保送。
Words can be like baseball bats when used maliciously.
当词语被恶意使用时，就像棒球棒一样。
Baseball is a game of inches.
棒球是一项英寸的运动。
