原文: http://ppt.cc/yxwf AKRON, Ohio -- There's a video out there of baseball phenom Bryce Harper. It happened only 10 days ago, but you've probably seen it. You know the one -- he gets called out on strikes, angrily bounces his batting helmet off the ground and gets ejected. Ring a bell? Here it is again. 你們可能都看過，那部有關於棒球新星Bryce Harper的影片，那部他因抗議好壞球判決，很生氣地把頭盔摔在地上而被驅逐出場的影片: http://ppt.cc/Fq2X But there's another video out there of Bryce Harper, and I know you haven't seen this one. It happened only nine days ago. It happened, in fact, one day after the ejection. Bright and early the next morning, Harper showed up at a fantasy camp for hearing-impaired kids. He threw them batting practice, talked to them, spent time with them. Here's that video. 還有另一部影片你們肯定沒看過，就發生在被驅逐出場後的第一天。在一個明亮的早晨， Bryce Harper現身於一個替聽力受損孩童舉辦的棒球育樂營裡，他與小朋友們一起做打擊練習、花時間陪伴他們，並跟他們聊天。看看吧!! http://ppt.cc/_T-Y There are two Bryce Harpers, you see. There's the one you think you know, and you don't like him. The Bryce Harper you think you know is the arrogant egomaniac drafted No. 1 overall by the Nationals in 2010. He's spoiled, selfish, immature. A punk. That's what everyone says, and everyone couldn't be wrong. Could they? 看吧，有兩個Bryce Harper!一個是你認為你知道，而且你討厭的，那位傲慢自負又自我的2010國民隊選秀狀元，被寵壞、自私、又不成熟，一個混帳! 大家是這麼說的，而輿論是不會錯的，對吧? But there's the Bryce Harper you don't know. This Bryce Harper isn't all that interesting. He signs autographs. He runs out ground balls. He declines interviews because he doesn't want to give off the vibe that he's better than his teammates, even if it's common knowledge that Bryce Harper is, in fact, better than his teammates. 另一個Bryce Harper是你不知道的，他或許不是那麼引人注意。他幫球迷簽名，每天不斷的練球，他拒絕賽後訪問，因為他不想讓別人以為他比他隊友突出，即使我們都知道 Bryce Harper有多強。 The Bryce Harper you don't know? I saw glimpses of him over the course of three days this past week in Akron -- and I like that Bryce Harper. I hope it's the Bryce Harper we're going to see when he hits the big leagues and stays there, putting up monster numbers like the ones his Double-A manager gave me in a prediction. Later on in the story, when I tell you how Harrisburg manager Tony Beasley finished the following sentence, you won't believe it. 你所不知道的Bryce Harper? 在上周的三天裡，我有機會近距離觀察他，而我喜歡那樣的 Bryce Harper。希望到時站穩大聯盟，打出怪物數據，就像2A總教練預測那樣的Harper，是我現在看到的樣子。在稍後的故事中，我將告訴你們2A總教練是怎樣看Harper的，你們絕不會相信!! "One of these days," Beasley said in the visitors' clubhouse in Akron, "it wouldn't surprise me if he ..." "有一天，"Tony Beasley說道:"如果Harper....." Beasley finishes that quote later in the story. Meantime, there's a video out there of Bryce Harper. It happened more than two months ago, and I know you've seen it. Harper was playing for Class A Hagerstown on June 6, when he hit a home run off Greensboro's Zachary Neal. Harper tracked the ball's flight for a few steps before going into his home-run trot. Between third and home he stared down Neal and blew him a kiss. You saw it, I know you did. See it again. 這同時，有部Bryce Harper的影片，雖然已經過了兩、三個月，但我肯定你們都看過， Bryce Harper在6月6號1A的比賽中，對Greensboro's Zachary Neal轟出了一支陽春砲， Harper打擊出去之後看著球飛了一陣子，在跑到三壘和本壘之間的時候，他盯著投手看，然後送了個飛吻給他，你看到了!!我知道你看到了!!再看一次吧!! http://ppt.cc/mw4O What you won't see -- what you don't know -- is that something had been brewing all game between Zachary Neal and the Hagerstown Suns. After strikeouts, Neal would stare into the Hagerstown dugout. How it started is unclear, but this thing wasn't Neal vs. Harper. This was Neal vs. Hagerstown, and it escalated for several innings until Harper put an end to it with one swing, one trot, one kiss. 你沒看到，也不知道的是，投手Zachary Neal和Hagerstown Suns(國民1A隊名)之間那已經慢慢醞釀的火爆氣氛。每K掉一個人之後，Zachary Neal就惡狠狠地瞪著Hagerstown Suns的休息區。不知道是怎麼開始的，但絕不僅止於Zachary Neal和Harper之間，而是 Zachary Neal和Hagerstown整隊!這氣氛持續了幾局，直到Harper打了一發，送了一吻之後才終結! People came down hard on Harper, because you just don't do what he did. You don't "show up" an opposing pitcher, in the baseball vernacular. Beasley wasn't there to see it -- again, that happened at Class A, before Harper was promoted to Harrisburg -- but he talked to people up and down the organization to find out what happened. 人們總是對Harper很嚴厲，因為你做不到他所做的。以棒球語言來說的話，你無法打爆敵隊投手。Beasley沒有看到事發經過，畢竟那Harper升上2A前的1A比賽，但他透過球團工作人員了解了整件事。 (待續....) 要出門了..回來繼續! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.116.216.138
