绰号“老虎先生”的阿尔·卡琳是美国职业棒球右外野手,曾在底特律老虎队大联盟打了22个赛季。在他的职业生涯的大部分时间里,卡琳都在外场打球,主要是作为一名右外野手,在那里他赢得了十个金手套奖,并以他强壮的投掷臂而闻名。
I'll never forget that first night with the team. Going to the ballpark on the bus was the hardest 30 minutes of my life. I had to walk down that aisle between all the players. I really didn't know too much about the Detroit Tigers at that time.
我永远不会忘记与团队在一起的第一天。 上公车去球场是我一生中最艰难的30分钟。 我不得不在所有球员之间走过那条过道。 那时,我真的对底特律虎队并不了解太多。
I started in for the ball but I just couldn't get it. I should have caught it because I was used to catching everything on the sandlots. But they hit the ball a lot harder in the major leagues and I just couldn't reach the ball this time.
我开始参加比赛,但我没办法。 我应该抓到它,因为我习惯了在沙坑上抓到所有东西。 但是他们在美国职业棒球大联盟中的击球要困难得多,而我这次却没法接球。
As the days went on, I didn't mind the games. In fact, I looked forward to them. That was the easiest part of all. I couldn't wait to get to the ballpark I'd be the first one there and I was willing to do anything. I think that's why the veterans liked me.
随着时间的流逝,我不在乎比赛。 实际上,我很期待他们。 那是最简单的部分。 我等不及要去球场了,我会是那里的第一个球场,我愿意做任何事情。 我认为这就是为什么退伍军人喜欢我。
