About Baseball (Olympic sport since 1992)
棒球概述(1992年成为奥运会正式比赛项目)


  


  Baseball’s stature 1 in the history of the United States is perhaps reflected more clearly in a simple dictionary rather than in the seven-centimetre-thick baseball encyclopaedia 2.
  或许一本简单的字典比7厘米厚的棒球百科全书更能反映出棒球运动在美国历史上的地位。


  There, you can find the word Ruthian, meaning "of mammoth 3 proportions", as in a home run by Babe Ruth back in the 1920s. There, you can find Lou Gehrig’s disease, as the incurable 4 degenerative illness amyotrophic lateral 5 sclerosis has been better known since Lou Gehrig, Ruth’s team-mate, died from it in the 1940s. In the United States, baseball and the English language are interwoven.
  字典中“Ruthian”一词的意思是“占巨大比例的”,而该词的来源是20世纪20年代的棒球巨星贝贝·鲁斯(Babe Ruth),他击出的本垒打占其全部击球的很大比例。还有“Lou Gehrig’s disease”,这个短语指的是”肌萎缩性侧索硬化症”,鲁斯的队友卢·格里格(Lou Gehrig)患这种导致身体器官衰退的不治之症,于20世纪40年代去世。在美国,棒球和英语是结合在一起的。


  However, just as the game did not begin as a wholly US enterprise, it did not end the 20th century as one either. Baseball’s all-time home-run champion is a man named Sadaharu Oh, who hit 868 during a legendary 6 career in baseball-mad Japan. The national team of Cuba overpowered the Baltimore Orioles of the US major leagues 12-6 in a 1999 exhibition game.
  不过,就像棒球最初不完全是美国的独家运动一样,在20世纪末,美国已经不能在这项运动上称霸了。棒球历史上个人的本垒打纪录(868支)是由传奇性的华裔日籍球员王贞治(Sadaharu Oh)在日本这个极其热爱棒球的国家中创下的,而美国职业棒球大联盟的劲旅巴尔的摩金莺队(Baltimore Orioles)在1999年的一场表演赛中曾以6-12负于古巴国家队。


  American baseball became a full medal sport in Barcelona in 1992.
  美式棒球于1992年巴塞罗那奥运会上成为正式比赛项目。
