Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. 球迷们，过去两周你们一直听说我遭遇了不幸。今天，我认为自己是地球上最幸运的人。
I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. When you look around, wouldn't you consider it a privilege to associate yourself which such a fine looking men as are standing in uniform in this ballpark today. 我在棒球场已经十七年了，从未收到过任何东西，只有你们球迷的善意和鼓励。当你环顾四周，你不觉得能与今天穿着制服站在这个球场上的这些英俊的人们交往是一种荣幸吗？
Sure I'm lucky. Who wouldn't consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball's greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? 我当然幸运。谁不觉得认识 Jacob Ruppert 是一种荣耀呢？还有，棒球史上最伟大的帝国的缔造者 Ed Barrow？能和那个了不起的小家伙 Miller Huggins 一起度过六年？然后又与杰出的领袖、那位深谙心理学的智者、当今棒球界最优秀的经理 Joe McCarthy 一起度过接下来的九年？
Sure I'm lucky. When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift -- that's something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies -- that's something. 我当然幸运。当纽约巨人队——一支你愿意付出右臂去击败的球队，反之亦然——送给你一份礼物——那就是了不起的。当从场地管理员到那些穿白大褂的孩子们都用奖杯纪念你——那就是了不起的。
When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter -- that's something. When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body -- it's a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed -- that's the finest I know. 当你有一个了不起的岳母，她在你与她亲生女儿的争吵中站在你这边——那就是了不起的。当你有父亲和母亲，他们一辈子辛勤工作，为了让你能接受教育、锻炼身体——这是一种福分。当你有一个妻子，她一直是你的力量源泉，展现出的勇气远超你的想象——这是我所知道的最美好的。
So, I close in saying that I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for. 所以，我最后说，我可能遭遇了不幸，但我有太多值得活下去的理由。
