F ans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got.
粉丝们，在过去的两周里，你们一直在读到我经历了一次糟糕的休息。
Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.
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.
我在球场上工作了十七年，除了你们球迷的善意和鼓励之外，我从未得到过任何东西。
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.
当你环顾四周时，你是否会觉得能与今天站在球场上的这些穿着制服的英俊男子联系在一起是一种荣幸。
Who wouldn�t consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert?
谁不会认为认识雅各布·鲁珀特是一种荣幸？
Also, the builder of baseball�s greatest empire, Ed Barrow?
还有，棒球最伟大帝国的缔造者艾德·巴罗？
To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins?
和米勒·哈金斯这个可爱的小家伙一起度过了六年？
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?
然后在接下来的九年里与那位杰出的领导者、聪明的心理学学生、当今棒球界最好的经理乔·麦卡锡一起度过？
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.
当纽约巨人队（一支你愿意用右手去击败的球队，反之亦然）送给你一份礼物时——那就是了不起的事情。
When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies -- that�s something.
当每个人，包括场地管理员和那些穿着白大褂的男孩都拿着奖杯记住你时——那就是了不起的事情。
When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter -- that�s something.
当你有一位出色的婆婆，在与她自己的女儿争吵时站在你一边——那就是了不起的事情。
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.
当你有一个一生都在工作的父亲和母亲，这样你才能接受教育并锻炼身体——这是一种祝福。
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.
当你拥有一位坚强的妻子，并且表现出比你想象的更多的勇气时——那就是我所知道的最好的了。
S o, 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，我最后要说的是，我可能经历了一次糟糕的休息，但我还有很多值得活下去的理由。
