Here's a baseball Hall of Fame vote for the 'steroid guys': Opinion
我投给了药人
In trying to save the baseball Hall of Fame from steroid cheaters, the voters
are destroying it.
为了不让药人进入名人堂 投票者们的行为却正在摧毁它
Since the days of Babe Ruth, the Hall of Fame has played a special role in
American sports, handing down the history of the nation's essential game from
fathers and mothers to sons and daughters. Veteran baseball writers have cast
annual ballots and proclaimed: These were the players fans clamored to see,
marveled at, argued about. These were the players who mattered. These were
the icons of their eras.
自从贝比之后 名人堂一直都有特殊的地位 被选进的球员都是最强的 是偶像
The Hall of Fame became something totally different with today's announcement
that voters have slammed the museum's door on a generation of stars that
includes seven-time Most Valuable Player Barry Bonds, seven-time Cy Young
Award winner Roger Clemens, and the great former Dodger Mike Piazza,
first-time candidates undone by their connection to performance-enhancing
drugs.
今天的名人堂有点不一样了 举凡 Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mike Piazza
这些最强的球员却因为跟药沾上关系而不得其门而入
The Hall of Fame now is the place where steroid suspects are judged.
名人堂变成了圣人堂
Voters, many of whom presumably helped to select Bonds and Clemens for all of
those awards, have delivered a redacted history to future generations: Bonds'
record 762 home runs
