Gretchen Piscotty, the mother of Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen
Piscotty, died Sunday night, a family member told ESPN.
奥克兰运动家外野手Stephen Piscotty的妈妈，Gretchen Piscotty在美国时间星期天晚上
逝世
Piscotty's mother suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known
as Lou Gehrig's disease, a neurological disorder. Piscotty, 55, was diagnosed
with ALS in May 2017.
Piscotty的妈妈患有肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症，也是我们俗称的渐冻人或是Lou Gehrig症
(洋基传奇球星Lou Gehrig也是罹患这种病)，她是在2017年五月的时候被诊断出来罹患
此症
In December, Stephen Piscotty was traded by the St. Louis Cardinals to the
Athletics for two minor leaguers. The move meant Piscotty, who grew up in
nearby Pleasanton, California, and went to Stanford, would be closer to his
mother and could aid in her care.
而在2017年的冬天，红雀交易Piscotty到运动家换回两名小联盟球员。
这笔交易对于Piscotty这位住在Pleasaton近郊，并且就读史丹佛大学的加州人来说意义
重大，回到奥克兰意谓着他可以就近的照顾他的妈妈。
Piscotty described being close to his mother as "priceless" to the San
Francisco Chronicle at the time of the trade.
Piscotty在当时交易发生的时候，他向旧金山纪实报叙述他与他妈妈之间关系，是如何的
亲近，是多么的无价。
"We usually end [the day] playing the guitar with 'Amazing Grace,'" Stephen
Piscotty told ESPN about taking care of his mother. It was a song she used to
play for him as a child on a music box. "It's definitely emotional. Playing
it is kind of a full circle aspect going on there. It gives me some little
bit of piece, and I hope it does the same for her.
"我通常会在一天的结束前用吉他弹奏奇异恩典给我妈听。"Piscotty谈到他照顾他妈妈
的情形。这首歌在Piscotty小的时候，Piscotty的妈妈常常用音乐盒播给小Piscotty听。
"在弹奏奇异恩典的时候，我是非常激动的，那好像就是回到小时候我妈妈当时为我做的
一样。这首歌让我感受到心灵上的平静，我希望借由弹奏这首歌，希望我妈妈也能有一样
的感受。"
"It's important to spend time with her because we're running out of it and
we're just trying to cherish every moment."
"在所剩不多的时间内，能多陪伴她是很重要的。我只是想珍惜我们俩之间的每一刻"
Piscotty, 27, made his Cardinals debut in 2015 and finished sixth in National
League Rookie of the Year voting after hitting .305 in 63 games. He missed
some games last season to be with his mother.
Piscotty，在2015年在红雀队登上大联盟，并在当年的国联最佳新秀票选获得第六名，
他在2015在63场比赛当中缴出0.305的打击率。
他上一季因为要陪伴他妈妈的关系，因此缺席了一些比赛。
He signed a six-year, $33.5 million contract extension in the offseason that
runs through 2022.
他在2015年季后的时候，和红雀签了一份到2022年，为期6年、总价33.5M的延长合约
Gretchen Piscotty is also survived by her husband, Michael, and sons Nick and
Austin.
"With or without the illness, I'm very grateful they're all close by,"
Gretchen Piscotty told the Chronicle in January. "I wish this wasn't
impacting them, impacting the family, but I'm very grateful to see them.
They're all very tender and caring and gentle with me."
"不管有没有生病，我都很感谢他们都一直在我身边。" Piscotty的妈妈在一月的时候
这么表示著
"我希望我的病不会影响到他们或是这个家庭，但我很感谢他们看见他们在身边，他们都
对我很好。"
ESPN几天前的描述Piscotty在这段他母亲罹病的心境影片
看得真的让人很心疼。
可惜过没几天，Piscotty的妈妈真的走了
愿Piscotty的妈妈安息，Piscotty也要加油QQ
