The MLB will never see a player like Ichiro again.
大联盟不会再有下一个一朗出现了。
When you read about him online, there’s a mysticism that surrounds Ichiro.
His rare combination of power, speed, ability and talent haven’t always
shown in box scores, but has constantly been present to fans of the
44-year-old.
当你在网络上看到有关他的消息时，总是有一个所谓的一朗传说，有关他的打
击power、跑速、还有那些数据上不会显示的才能，然后这个44岁的球员仍然持续在场上
奋斗给他的粉丝看。
Whether you check his stats every night or you are a casual fan of baseball,
there’s no denying that his first ten years were nothing short of dominant.
During this time, he was the league’s Most Valuable player and Rookie of the
Year in 2001, both a 10-time all-star and gold glove winner, three-time
silver slugger and won the AL batting title twice.
无论你是那种每晚都会看他的数据的人，或是你只是个随便看看的球迷，你都不能否认他
在大联盟的前十年，完完全全的称霸联盟。在当时，他曾是联盟的MVP、2001年
的新人王、然后也是10次all-star跟金手套得主、三次银棒奖，两次美联打击王。
As ESPN Stats and Info has pointed out, all 10 of Ichiro’s 200-hit seasons —
which ties him for first all time with Pete Rose — came during this 10-year
span. In comparison, Rose never had more than three consecutive 200-hit
seasons during his career.
ESPN的数据也指出，一朗的十个200安的球季(让他生涯跟Pete Rose平手第一名)，就是在
这个期间发生的。想比之下，Rose还从来没有连续三个球季200安过哩！
During this time, Ichiro also broke a few longstanding records. In 2004,
Ichiro broke George Sisler’s 84-year-old record for hits in a season with
264 — a number which still stands to this day. He also holds the record for
hits in a four-year period with 924. When he surpassed Bill Terry’s
four-year record of 918, he broke a record that stood since 1932.
在这期间，一朗也破了几个会难以突破的纪录。在2004年，一朗打破
George Sisler维持84年的单季最多安打纪录。他单季敲出了262支安打。这纪录仍持续到
今日。他在四年期间敲出924支安打，也是一项纪录。他突破了1932年时Bill Terry创下
的四年918支安打的纪录。
But if you were to break Ichiro down by just his hits — he’s 22nd all-time
with 3086 — you’re only telling one part of his baseball story.
但如果你只用安打评断他的生涯(一朗生涯3086支安打，排有史以来第22名)，你只是看到
他棒球故事的一部份而已。
If you wanted to show off his speed, you could pull the stat that Ichiro is
tied for 35th all time with 509 stolen bases. Early in his career, his home
to first base time was a quick 3.6 seconds. If you wanted to show that he has
a strong arm, he is tied for 209th all time amongst outfielders with 123
defensive assists.
如果你想要给大家看他的跑速，你可以看到一朗生涯509次盗垒，排名第35。在
他生涯前段，他从本垒跑到一垒只需要3.6秒。如果你想要给大家看他的雷射肩，他在史
上所有外野手中排名第209名，有着123次的助杀。
With his value of getting on base — he has a .758 OPS — and his play in the
field, Ichiro’s career wins above replacement rating (59.6) has him in a tie
for 122nd all time.
靠着他的高上垒率(他的OPS为.758)，以及他在场上的play，一朗生涯的WAR值为59.6，
让他在史上所有球员中排名第122名。
While his stats are jaw-dropping, the legend of Ichiro comes from the stories
shared about him from around baseball circles. Based off his home-run swing
during batting practice, it has well documented that he could have had a
power bat in the MLB if he wanted. In response to this, he once said “[i]f I
’m allowed to hit .220, I could probably hit 40 [home runs], but nobody
wants that.”
他的数据令人惊艳，而一朗的传奇也都是棒球相关的。他打击练习时的全垒打式挥棒，使
得有一个传说是这么讲的：一朗想要的话，他也可以在大联盟当砲手。一朗
听到这个谣传之后，他的回应是：“喔，如果我可以打击率.220就好的话，我
大概可以打40轰吧。但没人会想要我这样的。”
He’s also always been interested in pitching at a professional level. During
the 2009 World Baseball Classic, Ichiro reportedly threw 92 mph off a mound
during a pitching workout.
他也一直很想要在大联盟层级当投手。根据消息，一朗在09年WBC时，曾经在
练投时，在投手丘上投出92mile的速球。
Also, let’s not forget his dominance in the Nippon Professional Baseball
league. Signed just after he turned 18, Ichiro played nine seasons for Japan’
s Orix Blue Wave. From 1992-2000, he led the Pacific League in batting seven
times, won three MVP awards and took home seven consecutive Gold Gloves. If
you were to combine his hits from the NPB to the MLB, Ichiro would have 4358
professional hits, which make him baseball’s hit king.
还有还有，我们也别忘了他在NPB直接称霸联盟。一朗18岁就签约，然后为日本欧力士
效力了九个球季。从1992年到2000年，他在太平洋联盟当打击王七次，MVP三次，
然后连续七年金手套奖得主。如果你把一朗NPB跟MLB的数据合并，一朗总共打了4358
支安打，这让一朗成为棒球打击之王
I bring up these numbers and stories as a reminder of what Ichiro has meant
to baseball. Dominant, mysterious and unorthodox to the North American eye, it
’s been tough for the media to define how great of a player he is.
我把这些数据跟故事列上来，只是想提醒大家，一朗对棒球来说是什么。对北美人而言，
这是个有压制性、神奇、然而也是个非正统的球员。对媒体来说，很难去定义一朗到底
是多好的球员。
Even though his numbers have gone down in the latter half of his career, that
doesn’t mean he hasn’t shown he still has all the tools present from when
he joined the league in 2001. Just as an example, Ichiro hit .322 in limited
action at age 38 and .284 in 143 games at age 40. Not bad for someone who has
constantly been doubted.
即便他在生涯后段的表现下滑，这不代表他没有展现他在2001年加入时所发挥的能力。
举例而言，一朗在38岁，PA有限的情况下打出.322的打击率，在40岁时则是.284
。以一个一直被质疑的球员来说，这真的表现不差。
If you had to place a knock on him, it would be that he’s never played on a
great team. Ichiro has only made the playoffs twice in his career, where he
has a career batting average of .346 across those four series he played in.
如果你一定要说出一朗的短处的话，大概就是，他没有为一个真正厉害的球队
效力过。一朗生涯只出现在季后赛两次。4个系列战中，他打击率也是高得吓人的.346
。
There’s a larger than life idealism that surrounds Ichiro, and it’s well
deserved. When he does retire — whenever that is — baseball will be lost
without his iconic swing. Until then, let’s soak in and remind ourselves
more often of the greatness that is Ichiro Suzuki.
对一朗来说，这真是比理想中的人生更美好了，而这也完全是一朗所应得的。当他真的
要退休时，不管是什么时候，棒球会因为少了他的经典打击姿势，而暗淡无光。在那之前
，我们就好好地看他比赛，并且时常提醒我们自己：铃木一朗，就是一个传奇。

2.一朗传说虽然很像老梗，但他以前真的真的很猛阿，可以在现在还看到他活跃上场，真
的是一种感动。
