Regalado, historian: : They’re training in the south, and it’s in the south that Roberto Clemente like other Latin American blacks are introduced to the overt racism they had heard about back in their homeland but now actually see in front of them, and it’s really a concept that is very difficult for them to grasp.

Samuel O.
塞缪尔·O.
Regalado, historian: : You had this combination of young ballplayer, anxious to succeed, has to a certain extent delusions of grandeur, and then there’s the reality of his position as a person and in the south during the period of the 1950s, it didn’t matter whether or not you’re a professional baseball player, you’re just black.
历史学家雷加拉多：：年轻的棒球运动员渴望成功，在一定程度上有自大的妄想，然后是他作为一个人的现实地位，在 20 世纪 50 年代的南方，无论你是否是职业棒球运动员，你只是黑人。

旁白：随着常规赛的开始，球队北上匹兹堡，这是一个艰苦、冒着浓烟的钢铁小镇，克莱门特在一个中产阶级非裔美国人社区租了一个房间。
Pittsburgh fans loved their Bucs, as they called the team; but they didn’t quite know what to make of their lone Latino player; and Clemente did not quite know what to make of Pittsburgh.
匹兹堡球迷热爱他们的海盗队（他们这样称呼这支球队）。但他们不太知道如何对待他们唯一的拉丁裔球员；克莱门特不太清楚匹兹堡是怎样的。

On the other hand I suspect that both black and white Pittsburghers had a hard time understanding Clemente.

They had little experience with people from Latin America, with Latin American culture, with that sense of Latin pride.
他们对来自拉丁美洲的人、拉丁美洲文化和拉丁自豪感缺乏经验。
The black community saw him and physically he was black to them, but not culturally.
黑人社区看到了他，对他们来说，他在身体上是黑人，但在文化上却不是。
Orlando Cepeda, San Francisco Giants: : He told me that, that it was very lonely for him because of communication — he couldn’t communicate, and that’s why — we have two strikes: being black, and being Latin.
奥兰多·塞佩达，旧金山巨人队：他告诉我，由于沟通，他感到非常孤独——他无法沟通，这就是为什么——我们有两个优势：黑人和拉丁人。
Narrator: : Clemente spent little free time with his fellow Pirates, some of whom found him guarded and aloof.
旁白：克莱门特很少有空闲时间与他的海盗同伴们在一起，其中一些人发现他很警惕、冷漠。
Whatever the reason, the result was obvious: besides baseball, #21 and his teammates had little in common.
不管是什么原因，结果是显而易见的：除了棒球之外，21 号和他的队友几乎没有共同点。

塞缪尔·O.
Regalado, historian: : Clemente after baseball games has no one really to pal around with in terms of his teammates.
雷加拉多，历史学家：：棒球比赛结束后，克莱门特没有人真正可以和他的队友打交道。
He often wanders around by himself and Clemente, in fact, signed autographs till the last person had his baseball signed in large part because Clemente had really nothing else better to do that day after games.
事实上，他经常独自一人和克莱门特四处闲逛，直到最后一个人在他的棒球上签名，这在很大程度上是因为克莱门特在比赛结束后的那天确实没有其他更好的事情可做。
Narrator: : In the days before publicists and security guards, players and fans could sometimes have a human encounter.
旁白：：在没有公关人员和保安的日子里，球员和球迷有时可能会遇到人际交往。

卡罗尔·布雷佐维克·巴斯：：我决定接近他，我说：“可以请你签名吗？” ——我刚刚开始学习一些西班牙语，所以我说，“哦，谢谢，啊，克莱门特先生”，他微笑着，抬起头，开始喋喋不休地讲西班牙语。
And he just went on and on, and I was just like, um, you know, so nervous inside and I thought, “Oh my gosh, you know, how do I, you know, what do I do to tell him, you know, I don’t understand what he, what he had to say.”
他一直说个不停，我就想，嗯，你知道，内心非常紧张，我想，“哦，天哪，你知道，我该怎么做，你知道，我该怎么告诉他，你知道，我不明白他说什么，他要说什么。”
“Mr. Clemente, I’m so sorry.” I said, um “I’m just beginning to learn Spanish, I only know a few words, Well he, you know, started to laugh, he said, you know, “You’re never going to get a lot of autographs being so far back.”
“克莱门特先生，非常抱歉。”我说，嗯，“我刚刚开始学习西班牙语，我只认识几个单词，好吧，他，你知道，开始笑，他说，你知道，“你永远不会得到很多签名。”
David Maraniss, biographer: : An athlete’s life is mostly being uprooted.
传记作者大卫·马拉尼斯 (David Maraniss)：：运动员的生活大多是被连根拔起的。
And a lot of athletes deal with that by finding superficial outlets.
许多运动员通过寻找表面的发泄方式来解决这个问题。
Clemente mostly dealt with it by trying to find reminders of home and family wherever he was.
克莱门特主要通过尝试无论身在何处都能找到家乡和家人的回忆来解决这个问题。
Carol was one part of that in an unlikely white girl from Philadelphia becomes part of the Clemente family.

Narrator: : Over the years, Clemente would host Carol and her parents when they visited him in Puerto Rico.
旁白：多年来，当卡罗尔和她的父母去波多黎各探望他时，克莱门特都会接待他们。
But friendships with individual fans were one thing; relations with Pittsburgh’s hard-bitten press were quite another.
但与个别粉丝的友谊是一回事，而与个人粉丝的友谊是一回事。与匹兹堡顽固媒体的关系则完全是另一回事。
Theirs was an awkward dance of mutual incomprehension and often hostility.
他们的舞蹈很尴尬，相互不理解，而且常常充满敌意。
Roy McHugh, sportswriter: : If Clemente wasn’t approached in the right way, he would flare up.
体育记者罗伊·麦克休：如果没有以正确的方式接近克莱门特，他就会发怒。
His feelings seemed to be right on the surface.
他的感觉似乎就在表面上。
And after the wrong question or the wrong word would set him off.
错误的问题或错误的词语会让他生气。
I can’t say that I enjoyed talking with him.
我不能说我很喜欢和他聊天。
Al Oliver, teammate: : What cracked me up about Roberto was in a lot of his interviews, they would come and interview him, he would start talking about life.
艾尔·奥利弗（Al Oliver），队友：：罗伯托的很多采访让我大笑，他们会来采访他，他会开始谈论生活。
And the writers just weren’t ready for that.
而编剧们还没有准备好。
Narrator: : Baseball players were supposed to be upbeat, and uncomplicated; not Clemente.

Juan Gonzales, writer: : There was an attempt to really sort of deny the Latino heritage of these ballplayers.

I was, uh, just a kid then, but I remember he was always called Bobby Clemente.
那时我，呃，只是个孩子，但我记得他总是叫鲍比·克莱门特。
They Americanized the names and always the sports writers and the ball players ridiculed their attempts to speak English.
他们将名字美国化，体育作家和球员总是嘲笑他们说英语的尝试。
Al Oliver, teammate: : Bottom line was there wasn’t a lot of knowledge of Puerto Rican players.
艾尔·奥利弗（Al Oliver），队友：：底线是对波多黎各球员的了解不多。
There wasn’t a lot of knowledge of even black players at that particular time.
在那个特定的时期，即使是黑人球员也没有太多的知识。
And it had a lot to do with not being around.
这与不在身边有很大关系。
If you’re not around a certain group of people, then you form opinions.
如果你不在某一群人周围，那么你就会形成意见。
Narrator: : Clemente repeatedly broke an unwritten rule for professional athletes: never say what’s really on your mind.
旁白：克莱门特多次打破了职业运动员的一条不成文的规则：永远不要说出你真正的想法。
And another: never complain about injuries, aches, or pains.

罗伊·麦克休，体育记者： 比赛结束后的一天，他脱掉队服坐在更衣室前，总经理乔·布朗让他去淋浴并穿好衣服。

他说，“你会感冒的，”他说，“我不想让你生病。”克莱门特说：“当我生病时，我感觉好多了。”我不知道他的意思，但他知道他的意思。
George Will, writer: : We acquired a national stoicism from the thirties and our troubles in the Depression, from the forties from the war.
作家乔治·威尔：：我们从三十年代和大萧条时期的麻烦、四十年代的战争中获得了民族坚忍主义。
Stoicism was identified with manliness, and it was thought somehow less than manly to complain about ailments, even though real.

Robert Ruck, historian: : White ballplayers and black ballplayers uh, were relatively taciturn, they chewed tobacco.
历史学家罗伯特·拉克（Robert Ruck）：：白人球员和黑人球员呃，相对沉默寡言，他们嚼烟草。
Not too many of them had a great sense of style or flair.
他们中没有多少人具有出色的时尚感或天赋。
Certainly if they asked these players questions about how they were feeling and the player actually talked about their feelings, that was not something they were accustomed to.
当然，如果他们向这些玩家询问他们的感受，而玩家实际上谈论了他们的感受，那不是他们所习惯的。
Pirates player (archival): : Frank, there’s a lot of reasons for it.

Narrator: : There was a source for some of Clemente’s pain, but he seldom spoke of it.

我认为这激怒了一些人，他们认为理想的棒球运动员应该像加里·库珀那样——高大、沉默、坚忍。
Narrator: : In his first five seasons with the Pirates, Clemente hadn’t exactly lit up Forbes Field with his hitting.
旁白：：在海盗队的前五个赛季中，克莱门特的击球并没有完全照亮福布斯球场。
He’d batted over .300 only once, with seven or less homers.
他只有一次击球数超过 0.300，全垒打数为 7 个或更少。
His play in right field was something else: he’d won over a growing number of local fans with his powerful arm and remarkable range.
他在右外野的表现是另一回事：他用强有力的手臂和非凡的射程赢得了越来越多的当地球迷。
Still, he was on a lackluster team and the national press barely noticed.
尽管如此，他所在的球队表现平淡，全国媒体几乎没有注意到。

不幸的是，他们不得不面对过去十年五次夺冠的纽约洋基队，以及一支云集米基·曼特尔、尤吉·贝拉和怀蒂·福特等超级巨星的球队。

旁白：：在克莱门特的及时击球和他的外野表现的帮助下，海盗队在前六场比赛中赢得了三场，尽管他们的比分被强大的洋基队以 46 比 17 击败。
The seventh and deciding game would be played in Pittsburgh, where only the most diehard Bucs fans gave the home team much of a chance.

As Pittsburgh held its collective breath, Pirate second baseman Bill Mazeroski came to the plate.

当马泽罗斯基回到家时，克莱门特正在那里庆祝棒球历史上最大的冷门之一，并为自己为球队的成功做出的巨大贡献感到自豪。
Once off the field, he expected to make a quick exit and catch a plane home to Puerto Rico.
