Archie MacLaren (Wikipedia featured)

Archibald Campbell MacLaren (1 December 1871 – 17 November 1944) was an English cricketer who captained the England cricket team at various times between 1898 and 1909.

阿奇博尔德·坎贝尔·麦克拉伦（Archibald Campbell MacLaren，1871年12月1日至1944年11月17日）是一名英国板球运动员，在1898年至1909年期间多次担任英格兰板球队队长。

A right-handed batsman, he played 35 Test matches for England, as captain in 22 of those games, and led the team to defeat in four Ashes series against Australia.

作为一名右手击球手，他为英格兰队参加了 35 场测试赛，其中 22 场作为队长，并带领球队在四场灰烬杯系列赛中击败了澳大利亚队。

An amateur, MacLaren played first-class cricket for Lancashire, captaining that county for most of his career.

作为一名业余爱好者，麦克拉伦为兰开夏郡打出了一流的板球，并在职业生涯的大部分时间里担任该郡的队长。

As a batsman, MacLaren was one of the leading cricketers of his time and had a reputation as a fast-scoring stylist.

作为一名击球手，麦克拉伦是当时领先的板球运动员之一，并享有快速得分造型师的声誉。

In 1895, he scored 424 runs in an innings against Somerset which was the highest individual score in first-class cricket until 1923 and remained a record in English cricket until 1994.

1895年，他在对阵萨默塞特队的比赛中每局得424分，这是1923年之前一级板球的最高个人得分，并且在1994年之前一直保持着英国板球的记录。

Opinions were divided over his captaincy.

对于他的队长职务，人们意见不一。

He was a deep thinker on the game and critics believed him to be tactically advanced, but his pessimism, clashes with the selectors and inability to get the best out of his players led most commentators to rate him a poor leader.

他是比赛的深刻思考者，批评者认为他在战术上很先进，但他的悲观主义、与选择者的冲突以及无法充分发挥球员的能力导致大多数评论员认为他是一个糟糕的领导者。

After attending public school, MacLaren played intermittently for Lancashire until 1899 as he tried to establish a career outside the sport.

进入公立学校后，麦克拉伦断断续续地为兰开夏郡效力，直到 1899 年，他试图在体育之外建立自己的职业生涯。

Even so, he was appointed county captain in 1894 and was chosen frequently to play for England.

即便如此，他还是于 1894 年被任命为郡队长，并经常被选为英格兰队效力。

An appointment as Lancashire's assistant secretary allowed him to play more regularly from 1900.

从 1900 年起，他被任命为兰开夏郡的助理秘书，这使他能够更频繁地参加比赛。

He first captained England in 1898 as a stand-in, but became captain in his own right in 1899.

1898年，他首次以替补身份担任英格兰队队长，但在1899年以自己的身份成为队长。

Under his leadership, England lost to Australia in three consecutive series—1899, 1901–02 and 1902.

在他的带领下，英格兰连续三个系列赛——1899年、1901-02年和1902年——输给了澳大利亚。

MacLaren was involved in controversies throughout all three defeats, and was replaced as captain in 1905, although he remained in the team.

麦克拉伦在这三场失利中都陷入了争议，并于 1905 年被替换为队长，但他仍然留在球队中。

Business interests kept him out of the game for the following years, but he was invited to lead England once more in 1909.

在接下来的几年里，商业利益使他退出了比赛，但他在 1909 年再次受邀领导英格兰队。

Defeat in that series ended his Test career, and the following year he ceased playing regular first-class cricket.

该系列赛的失利结束了他的测试生涯，次年他不再参加常规的一流板球比赛。

He played occasionally until 1922–23, and had some late successes: in 1921, a team selected and captained by MacLaren defeated a previously unbeaten Australian team, and on his final first-class appearance during a 1922–23 Marylebone Cricket Club tour of New Zealand, he scored 200 runs.

他偶尔参加比赛，直到 1922-23 年，并取得了一些后来的成功：1921 年，麦克拉伦挑选并担任队长的球队击败了一支此前保持不败的澳大利亚队，并在 1922-23 年马里波恩板球俱乐部新西兰之旅中最后一次一流出场，他获得了 200 分。

MacLaren had many jobs as he attempted to find ways to support his cricket, family and lifestyle.

麦克拉伦尝试寻找多种方式来维持自己的板球运动、家庭和生活方式，期间做过很多工作。

At various times, he worked as a teacher, a journalist and a cricket coach.

他曾多次担任教师、记者和板球教练。

For many years, he was employed as Lancashire's assistant secretary but such were his financial worries that he often had to ask for cash advances from the committee, with which he had a stormy relationship.

多年来，他一直担任兰开夏郡的助理秘书，但由于他对财务的担忧，他经常不得不向委员会要求预支现金，而他与该委员会的关系却很紧张。

He worked for several years as private secretary to K.

他曾担任 K. 的私人秘书多年。

Ranjitsinhji and he became involved in his employer's financial scandals.

兰吉辛吉和他卷入了雇主的财务丑闻。

Many of MacLaren's later business ventures were failures, and only when his wife came into an inheritance did he and his family live in comfort.

麦克拉伦后来的许多商业冒险都失败了，直到他的妻子继承了遗产，他和家人才过上了舒适的生活。

Throughout his life, MacLaren was involved in many disagreements and was never popular with teammates.

一生中，麦克拉伦陷入了许多分歧，并且从未受到队友的欢迎。

However, he was a hero to the cricket writer Neville Cardus, who wrote prolifically on him.

然而，他是板球作家内维尔·卡杜斯的英雄，他写了大量关于他的文章。

MacLaren died in 1944, aged 72.

麦克拉伦于 1944 年去世，享年 72 岁。

MacLaren was born on 1 December 1871 in Whalley Range, a fairly prosperous district of Manchester, the second of seven sons to James MacLaren and Emily Carver.

麦克拉伦于 1871 年 12 月 1 日出生于曼彻斯特相当繁华的惠利山脉 (Whalley Range)，是詹姆斯·麦克拉伦 (James MacLaren) 和艾米丽·卡弗 (Emily Carver) 七个儿子中的第二个。

His father, a cotton merchant and cricket enthusiast, served as honorary treasurer to the Lancashire team from 1881 until his death in 1900.

他的父亲是一名棉花商人和板球爱好者，从 1881 年一直担任兰开夏郡队的名誉财务主管，直至 1900 年去世。

MacLaren senior encouraged his sons to play cricket.

老麦克拉伦鼓励他的儿子们打板球。

With the aim of improving their ability in the game, MacLaren senior sent Archie and his older brother James to Elstree, a school well-regarded for its coaching.

为了提高自己的比赛能力，麦克拉伦高年级学生将阿奇和他的哥哥詹姆斯送到了埃尔斯特里，这是一所以其教练而闻名的学校。

MacLaren's cricket instruction was supplemented during the holidays at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, where his father paid professional cricketers to bowl at him.

假期期间，麦克拉伦在老特拉福德板球场接受了板球指导，他的父亲在那里花钱请职业板球运动员向他打球。

He was soon selected for the school's cricket team, scored his first century, and was the captain by his final year.

他很快就被选入学校板球队，打进了他的第一个百分，并在最后一年成为了队长。

From Elstree, MacLaren went to Harrow School in 1886 where he joined James; Geoffrey, their younger brother, followed them but financial difficulties prevented any other family members attending the school.

1886 年，麦克拉伦从埃尔斯特里来到哈罗公学，在那里他加入了詹姆斯。他们的弟弟杰弗里跟随他们，但经济困难阻止了其他家庭成员上学。

MacLaren had little success in intra-school cricket during his first year there but in 1887, success in trial games resulted in his promotion to the school first eleven.

麦克拉伦在校第一年在校内板球比赛中几乎没有取得什么成功，但在 1887 年，他在预选赛中取得了成功，最终晋升为学校前 11 名。

A century in an early match ensured his selection for the important fixture against Eton College at Lord's.

一场早期比赛的一个世纪确保了他入选洛德学院对阵伊顿公学的重要比赛。

Although an inexperienced Harrow team was easily defeated, MacLaren top-scored in both innings with scores of 55 and 67, and in praising his batting, critics suggested he had a bright future.

尽管缺乏经验的哈罗队很容易被击败，但麦克拉伦在两局比赛中都以55分和67分的成绩名列前茅，评论家在赞扬他的击球的同时，也暗示他有一个光明的未来。

He came top of the school batting averages for the 1887 season.

1887 年赛季，他的击球率名列全校之首。

Wet weather in the following two years affected playing conditions, making the cricket pitches slow-paced and difficult to bat on.

接下来两年的潮湿天气影响了比赛条件，导致板球场节奏缓慢且难以击球。

With little experience of such conditions, MacLaren had a succession of failures.

由于对这种情况缺乏经验，麦克拉伦经历了一系列的失败。

His technique, based at the time on playing forward at the ball, was unsuited to wet pitches and it was only late in 1889 that he made the required technical adjustments and learned to play off the back foot (i.e. stepping backwards to play a shot).

当时他的技术是基于向前打球，不适合潮湿的球场，直到1889年末，他才进行了必要的技术调整并学会了后脚踢球（即向后退一步射门）。

During 1890, his final year at Harrow, he captained the team and had his most successful season, scoring over 500 runs at an average of 42.54.

1890 年，即他在哈罗公学的最后一年，他担任球队队长并度过了他最成功的赛季，得分超过 500 分，平均得分为 42.54。

In the match against Eton at Lord's, MacLaren once more succeeded when others struggled, and he scored 76 on a difficult pitch.

在洛德球场对阵伊顿公学的比赛中，麦克拉伦在别人举步维艰的时候再次取得了成功，他在艰难的球场上打出了76分。

In his four years at Harrow, MacLaren was twice awarded the prize for the school's best batsman, and received awards for his fielding.

在哈罗公学的四年里，麦克拉伦两次获得学校最佳击球手奖，并因其防守而获得奖项。

MacLaren also played football successfully: he captained his House team and played in the school first eleven in 1888 and 1889 before a knee injury forced him to miss the 1890 season.

麦克拉伦在足球方面也取得了成功：他是学院队的队长，并在 1888 年和 1889 年参加了学校的前 11 名比赛，直到膝伤迫使他错过了 1890 年的赛季。

Unlike many of his fellow amateur cricketers in this period, MacLaren did not attend Oxford or Cambridge Universities, where he would have played a high level of cricket; his father could not afford to send him or his brothers there.

与这一时期的许多业余板球运动员不同，麦克拉伦没有就读于牛津大学或剑桥大学，在那里他可以打出高水平的板球比赛；他的父亲无力送他或他的兄弟去那里。

On leaving Harrow, MacLaren found employment with the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank.

离开哈罗公学后，麦克拉伦在曼彻斯特和利物浦地区银行找到了工作。

Lancashire monitored MacLaren's progress during his time at Harrow.

兰开夏郡密切关注麦克拉伦在哈罗公学期间的进步。

When his season there ended in 1890, he was selected to play for Lancashire in the County Championship.

1890 年赛季结束后，他被选为兰开夏郡队参加郡锦标赛。

Making his first-class debut on 14 August 1890 in a match against Sussex, he scored 108 runs on a difficult pitch in a relatively fast time of two hours.

1890 年 8 月 14 日，他在对阵苏塞克斯的比赛中首次亮相，在相对较快的两个小时内，他在困难的球场上获得了 108 分。

Although less successful in the remaining games of the season, he finished fourth in the Lancashire averages with 140 runs at an average of 23.33.

尽管在本赛季剩余比赛中表现不佳，但他以 140 分、平均分 23.33 分的成绩在兰开夏郡平均分中排名第四。

MacLaren's financial circumstances forced him to keep working at the District Bank, limiting the amount of cricket he played in 1891 and 1892.

麦克拉伦的经济状况迫使他继续在地区银行工作，这限制了他在 1891 年和 1892 年打板球的次数。

When he did play for Lancashire, MacLaren was moderately successful.

当麦克拉伦为兰开夏郡效力时，他取得了一定的成功。

He led the county's batting averages in 1892 and in total scored 548 runs at 27.40.

1892 年，他的击球率领先全县，总得分为 548 分，得分为 27.40。

Of his two centuries, the second came when he opened the batting.

在他的两个世纪中，第二个世纪是在他打开击球时到来的。

During the winter of 1892–93, MacLaren studied cotton manufacture in New Orleans; when he returned home, he played more regularly for Lancashire.

1892-93 年冬天，麦克拉伦在新奥尔良研究棉花生产；当他回到家乡后，他更频繁地为兰开夏郡队踢球。

He scored consistently in 1893, totalling 831 runs at 25.18, had success in the high-profile match against Yorkshire, and led the team in the absence of the regular captain.

1893 年，他持续得分，总共 831 分，得分为 25.18，在对阵约克郡的备受瞩目的比赛中取得成功，并在常规队长缺席的情况下带领球队。

As a result of his successes, he was selected to play for the North of England in a representative match against the Australian team who were touring England that year.

由于他的成功，他被选为英格兰北部队的代表队，对阵当年访问英格兰的澳大利亚队。

He scored 66, sharing an opening partnership of 121 in 80 minutes with his county colleague Albert Ward.

他拿下 66 分，与县同事艾伯特·沃德 (Albert Ward) 一起在 80 分钟内拿下 121 分。

Later in the season, he was chosen to play for the amateur "Gentlemen" team in the prestigious Gentlemen v Players match at Lord's.

在赛季后期，他被选为业余“绅士”队参加在洛德球场举行的享有盛誉的绅士对球员比赛。

Before the 1894 season, MacLaren resigned from the bank to play a whole season of cricket.

1894 年赛季之前，麦克拉伦从银行辞职，打了整个赛季的板球比赛。

Lancashire at the time were undergoing a period of transition, and the captaincy was unsettled: three men captained the county in the first part of the season.

当时兰开夏郡正处于过渡时期，队长的位置也不稳定：赛季前半段由三名男子担任该郡的队长。

In the absence of other amateurs with county experience who could play regularly, MacLaren was appointed captain.

由于缺乏其他具有该县经验的业余球员可以定期参加比赛，麦克拉伦被任命为队长。

Wisden Cricketers' Almanack observed that MacLaren was young for the position, and largely unproven in cricket, but it supported the decision.

威斯登板球运动员年鉴指出，麦克拉伦担任这个职位还很年轻，而且在板球运动上还没有得到充分证明，但它支持了这一决定。

After losing his first match in charge, the team improved in the latter part of the season to finish fourth in the Championship.

在输掉他执教的第一场比赛后，球队在赛季后半段取得了进步，在锦标赛中获得第四名。

MacLaren finished sixth in the Lancashire averages, and in total scored 1,105 runs at 25.69, but his batting had made little progress since his debut.

麦克拉伦在兰开夏郡的平均成绩中排名第六，总得分为 1,105 分，得分为 25.69，但自首次亮相以来，他的击球成绩几乎没有进步。

However, his successful leadership of Lancashire led some press critics to suggest him as a future England captain.

然而，他对兰开夏郡的成功领导导致一些媒体评论家建议他担任未来的英格兰队长。

At the end of the season, he was a last-minute selection to tour Australia with a team led by Andrew Stoddart.

赛季结束时，他在最后一刻被选中随安德鲁·斯托达特带领的球队巡演澳大利亚。

Approached to organise a touring team by the Australian cricket authorities, Stoddart had been unable to persuade several leading batsmen to join his squad.

澳大利亚板球当局曾联系斯托达特组织一支巡回赛球队，但他未能说服几名领先的击球手加入他的球队。

Stoddart only took 13 men, of whom two were wicket-keepers (only one of whom could realistically play in each match) and one was a lob bowler who did not play any Test matches; this guaranteed MacLaren's selection for all the matches against Australia.

斯托达特只选了 13 名球员，其中两名是守门员（其中只有一名能够真正参加每场比赛），一名是高球投手，但没有参加任何测试赛；这保证了麦克拉伦能够参加对阵澳大利亚的所有比赛。

Consequently, he retained his place even when his form was poor.

因此，即使他的状态不佳，他仍然保住了自己的位置。

In his first game, against South Australia, he scored 228, and hit another half-century in the build-up to the first Test.

在他的第一场比赛中，对阵南澳大利亚，他得到了 228 分，并在第一次测试的准备中又打出了半个世纪。

He made his international debut on 14 December 1894, scoring 4 and 20 as England won despite being asked to follow on.

1894 年 12 月 14 日，他首次代表国家队亮相，分别打进 4 球和 20 球，尽管英格兰队被要求继续比赛，但最终还是获胜。

England also won the next game, although MacLaren was caught from the opening delivery of the match, the first time anyone had been dismissed by the first ball of a Test.

英格兰队也赢得了下一场比赛，尽管麦克拉伦在比赛开场投球时就被抓住了，这是第一次有人在测试赛中因第一个球而被罚下场。

Australia took the third and fourth Tests to level the series.

澳大利亚队通过第三次和第四次测试将系列赛扳平。

MacLaren had little personal success, and averaged only 12.50 in the series after four games.

麦克拉伦的个人成绩很少，四场比赛后系列赛场均得分仅为 12.50。

By then, MacLaren was in financial difficulties.

那时，麦克拉伦陷入了财务困难。

As an amateur, his expenses were covered by the tour organisers but he received no money for playing.

作为一名业余爱好者，他的费用由巡回赛组织者承担，但他没有收到任何比赛费用。

To support him financially, the Lancashire committee had given him £100 before the tour.

为了在经济上支持他，兰开夏郡委员会在巡演前给了他 100 英镑。

By the latter stages of the tour, his money was running out; most of it was probably spent betting on horse races, and he sent Lancashire a request for further money.

到巡演后期，他的钱已经花光了。其中大部分可能都花在了赛马投注上，他向兰开夏郡提出了进一步资金的请求。

Just before the final Test, he received a £60 advance on his expenses for the upcoming English season.

就在期末考试之前，他收到了 60 英镑的预支款，用于支付即将到来的英格兰赛季的费用。

For the fifth Test, he dropped down from opening the batting, which he had done throughout the series, to batting at number five, and responded with his first Test century.

在第五次测试中，他从他在整个系列赛中所做的开局击球下降到第五位击球，并以他的第一个测试世纪做出回应。

Batting with greater caution than usual, he scored 120 before accidentally standing on his own wicket.

他比平常更加谨慎地击球，在不小心站在自己的三柱门之前得到了 120 分。

England won the match to take the series 3–2, amid great public interest in England and Australia.

在英格兰和澳大利亚公众的极大兴趣下，英格兰队以 3-2 赢得了这场系列赛。

MacLaren scored 240 runs at 26.67 in the Test series, finishing fourth in the English averages.

麦克拉伦在测试系列赛中以 26.67 分的成绩获得 240 分，在英国平均成绩中排名第四。

He performed more effectively in the lesser matches, and following some final tour fixtures, he totalled 803 runs at 47.23 in all first-class games.

他在较小的比赛中表现得更加有效，在一些最后的巡回赛比赛之后，他在所有一流比赛中总共得到了 803 分，得分为 47.23。

On the six-week outward journey MacLaren met (Kathleen) Maud Power, an Australian socialite and the daughter of a horse racing official.

在为期六周的外出旅行中，麦克拉伦遇到了（凯瑟琳）莫德·鲍尔（Maud Power），她是一位澳大利亚社交名流，也是一名赛马官员的女儿。

They were married in 1898.

他们于 1898 年结婚。

MacLaren returned home via Japan, missing the start of the 1895 cricket season.

麦克拉伦经日本回国，错过了 1895 年板球赛季的开始。

In his absence, he was named as a "Young Batsman of the Year" in Wisden for his performances in 1894.

在他缺席期间，他因 1894 年的表现而被威斯登评为“年度最佳年轻击球手”。

After playing two games for Lancashire, MacLaren accepted the offer of a teaching job in a preparatory school in Harrow; although still Lancashire's captain, he missed several matches, to the disquiet of its supporters.

在为兰开夏郡队踢了两场比赛后，麦克拉伦接受了哈罗一所预科学校的教学工作。尽管他仍然是兰开夏郡队的队长，但他缺席了几场比赛，这让球迷们感到不安。

The team's results were mixed in his absence, and he returned to play Somerset at Taunton.

在他缺席期间，球队的成绩好坏参半，他回到汤顿对阵萨默塞特队。

On the first day of the three-day game, MacLaren scored 289 not out in 330 minutes.

在为期三天的比赛的第一天，麦克拉伦在 330 分钟内得到了 289 分，没有出局。

On the second day, he took his score to 424 before he was dismissed, surpassing the previous highest individual innings in first-class cricket, W.

第二天，他在被罚下场之前将自己的得分提高到了424，超过了此前在一流板球比赛中个人最高局数W.

MacLaren batted for 470 minutes in total and hit 62 fours and a six.

麦克拉伦总共击球 470 分钟，打出 62 个四分球和一个六分球。

This remained the highest score in first-class cricket until 1923 when Bill Ponsford scored 429 in Australia, and was the largest first-class innings in England until Brian Lara scored 501 in 1994.

这一直是一流板球比赛的最高得分，直到 1923 年比尔·庞斯福德 (Bill Ponsford) 在澳大利亚打出 429 分为止，并且是英格兰最大的一流局数，直到 1994 年布莱恩·拉拉 (Brian Lara) 打出 501 分为止。

In total, Lancashire scored 801 runs and won the game by an innings.

兰开夏郡队总共得了 801 分，以一局之差赢得了比赛。

After a spell of lower scores, MacLaren played several big innings, including three consecutive centuries in the last three games of the season.

在经历了一段低分之后，麦克拉伦打了几局大局，包括在本赛季最后三场比赛中连续三个百分局。

He ended 1895 top of the national batting averages with 1,229 runs at 51.20.

1895 年，他以 1,229 分、51.20 的击球率位居全国首位。

MacLaren was elected a life member of Lancashire in recognition of his achievements.

麦克拉伦被选为兰开夏郡终身会员，以表彰他的成就。

Teaching commitments left MacLaren unavailable for the start of the 1896 season, and his first appearance came in July.

由于教学任务，麦克拉伦无法参加 1896 年赛季的开始，他的第一次出场是在 7 月份。

Although he had batted only once in the season, he was chosen to play in the second Test match of the summer between England and Australia, a selection made controversial by his lack of cricket.

尽管他在本赛季只击球一次，但他被选中参加今年夏天英格兰队和澳大利亚队之间的第二场测试赛，由于他没有参加板球比赛，这一选择引起了争议。

As the Test was played at Old Trafford, the England team was chosen by the Lancashire committee, who recognised that MacLaren would attract spectators as a local player.

由于测试在老特拉福德举行，英格兰队由兰开夏郡委员会选出，他们认为麦克拉伦作为当地球员会吸引观众。

He was dismissed by the first ball he faced in the first innings, and scored 15 runs in the second as England were defeated.

他在第一局面对的第一个球就被淘汰，第二局得到15分，英格兰队被击败。

Shortly after the Test, he scored 226 against Kent to take Lancashire to a draw in a match they seemed likely to lose.

测试结束后不久，他在对阵肯特郡的比赛中拿下 226 分，带领兰开夏郡队在一场看起来很可能输掉的比赛中打成平局。

This was enough for him to retain his place in the team for the final Test match, where he scored 20 and 6.

这足以让他在最后一场测试赛中保住自己的位置，在比赛中他分别得到了 20 分和 6 分。

He batted effectively for the rest of the season, finishing with 713 runs for Lancashire at 54.85.

他在本赛季余下的比赛中表现出色，为兰开夏郡队最终取得 713 分，得分为 54.85。

Critics praised his batting, but his absences may have prevented the team from winning the Championship; they finished second.

评论家赞扬了他的击球，但他的缺席可能导致球队无法赢得冠军；他们获得了第二名。

In all first-class matches, he scored 922 runs at 36.88.

在所有一级比赛中，他以 36.88 分得到 922 分。

MacLaren's teaching duties meant that in 1897 he again missed the start of the cricket season, and he felt it necessary to resign as Lancashire's captain.

麦克拉伦的教学职责意味着他在 1897 年再次错过了板球赛季的开始，他觉得有必要辞去兰开夏队队长的职务。

When he began playing, he scored heavily, including another double century against Kent, and his runs helped Lancashire to win the County Championship: concentrating on aggressive batting, he scored faster than in previous years, and hit 974 runs at 51.26.

当他开始打球时，他得分很高，包括在对阵肯特郡的比赛中再次获得双百分，他的跑动帮助兰开夏郡赢得了县冠军：专注于侵略性的击球，他的得分比往年更快，并以 51.26 的成绩打出了 974 分。

At the end of the season, MacLaren was included in Stoddart's second Australian touring team.

赛季结束后，麦克拉伦被纳入斯托达特的第二支澳大利亚巡回赛车队。

Despite high expectations of success, the Test series was lost 4–1.

尽管人们对成功抱有很高的期望，但测试系列赛还是以 4-1 落败。

Although nominally captain, Stoddart played in only two Tests; he was grief-stricken after the death of his mother and disillusioned by the failures of his team.

尽管名义上是队长，斯托达特只参加了两次测试赛；母亲去世后，他悲痛欲绝，团队的失败也让他幻灭。

MacLaren, after an unproductive start to the tour, scored 142 and 100 against New South Wales to become the first batsman to score two centuries in the same Australian first-class match.

麦克拉伦在巡回赛开局不佳后，在对阵新南威尔士州的比赛中分别取得了 142 分和 100 分，成为第一位在同一场澳大利亚一流比赛中得分两个百分的击球手。

In the absence of Stoddart, he captained the England team in the first Test.

在斯托达特缺席的情况下，他作为英格兰队队长参加了第一次测试。

He scored 109 in the first innings, batting more cautiously than usual, and 50 not out in the second as England won by nine wickets.

他在第一局打出109分，比平常击球更谨慎，第二局打出50分，英格兰队以9个三柱门获胜。

His captaincy proved controversial when he refused to recall the Australian batsman Charlie McLeod to the wickets after he was dismissed; McLeod was out to a no-ball but, being deaf, did not hear the umpire's call and was run out when he left his crease.

当澳大利亚击球手查理·麦克劳德被解雇后，他拒绝将他召回三柱门时，他的队长身份引起了争议。麦克劳德被判无球，但由于耳聋，没有听到裁判的喊叫，当他离开折痕时，他被跑出了场外。

With Stoddart still absent, MacLaren was captain in the second Test.

由于斯托达特仍然缺席，麦克拉伦在第二次测试中担任队长。

Australia won by an innings, and MacLaren was criticised in the Australian press for complaining about the pitch.

澳大利亚以一局获胜，麦克拉伦因抱怨球场而受到澳大利亚媒体的批评。

Commentators also suggested that he underused the bowling of Ted Wainwright.

评论家还认为他没有充分利用特德·温赖特的保龄球。

Stoddart returned for the third and fourth Tests, both of which England lost by an innings.

斯托达特在第三次和第四次测试中回归，两次英格兰都以一局之差落败。

MacLaren scored 124 in the third game, but was mocked in the press after the fourth when he claimed that a fly in his eye caused him to be dismissed.

麦克拉伦在第三场比赛中拿下124分，但在第四场比赛结束后，他声称是一只苍蝇飞进了他的眼睛，导致他被罚下场，从而受到了媒体的嘲笑。

When Stoddart withdrew from the final match, MacLaren once more assumed the leadership.

当斯托达特退出决赛时，麦克拉伦再次占据了领先地位。

He scored 65 in the first innings but could not prevent Australia winning again.

他在第一局打出65杆，但无法阻止澳大利亚再次获胜。

In all first-class matches, MacLaren scored 1,037 runs at 54.57; in the Test matches, he aggregated 488 runs at an average of 54.22.

在所有一级比赛中，麦克拉伦以 54.57 分获得 1,037 分；在测试赛中，他总共得分 488 分，平均分 54.22 分。

Wisden noted that MacLaren batted "magnificently" and commented: "Of all the English players the one who had the best cause to look back upon the trip with satisfaction was MacLaren." At the conclusion of the tour, on 17 March 1898, he married Power.

威斯登指出，麦克拉伦的击球“非常出色”，并评论道：“在所有英国球员中，最有理由满意地回顾这次旅行的人就是麦克拉伦。” 1898 年 3 月 17 日，旅行结束后，他与鲍尔结婚。

The wedding attracted media attention and was well attended.

这场婚礼引起了媒体的关注，出席人数也很多。

The couple later had two sons.

这对夫妇后来生了两个儿子。

MacLaren played little cricket in 1898, initially owing to his teaching commitments and the need to establish himself and his wife in a new home.

麦克拉伦在 1898 年开始打板球，最初是因为他的教学工作以及为自己和妻子安顿新家的需要。

After making his first appearance in July, he did not play again until August.

七月份首次出场后，直到八月份他才再次出场。

He played nine first-class games, scoring 478 runs at 29.87, before his season was ended by neuralgia.

他打了 9 场一流的比赛，得到 478 分，得分为 29.87，之后他的赛季因神经痛而结束。

Despite his frequent absences—again he missed the first part of the season—Lancashire re-appointed MacLaren as joint captain for 1899.

尽管他经常缺席——他再次错过了赛季的前半段——兰开夏郡重新任命麦克拉伦为 1899 年的联合队长。

That summer, the Australians toured England and the first Test took place before MacLaren had played any cricket.

那年夏天，澳大利亚人前往英格兰巡演，第一次测试是在麦克拉伦打板球之前进行的。

For the second game, MacLaren replaced W.

第二场比赛，麦克拉伦换下W.

G.

G。

Grace as England captain; the other candidate for the leadership was Stanley Jackson, who was senior to MacLaren at Harrow and had preceded him into the England side, but MacLaren was favoured owing to his previous experience in the role with Lancashire and England.

格蕾丝担任英格兰队队长；另一位领导候选人是斯坦利·杰克逊（Stanley Jackson），他在哈罗公学时比麦克拉伦年长，并且先于麦克拉伦进入英格兰队，但麦克拉伦因其之前在兰开夏郡和英格兰队的经验而受到青睐。

Australia comfortably won the second Test, and on his first appearance of the season, MacLaren scored 4 runs opening the innings on the first day.

澳大利亚队轻松赢得了第二场测试赛，麦克拉伦在本赛季第一次出场时，在第一天的开局就得到了 4 分。

In the second innings, he moved down the order to number six, but he came in to bat when England trailed heavily and had lost four wickets.

在第二局中，他的排名下降至第六位，但当英格兰严重落后并失去四个三柱门时，他上场击球。

He batted for around 150 minutes to score 88 not out.

他打了大约 150 分钟，得到 88 分，没有出局。

The Wisden match report stated: "There was ...

威斯登比赛报道称：“有......

some risk in playing MacLaren, who had not so far taken part in any first-class cricket during the season.

与麦克拉伦比赛有一定的风险，到目前为止，麦克拉伦在本赛季还没有参加过任何一流的板球比赛。

In this case however, the [selection] committee had reason to congratulate themselves, MacLaren playing a magnificent second innings and making a great, though fruitless, effort to save the game ...

然而，在这种情况下，[选拔]委员会有理由祝贺自己，麦克拉伦打出了精彩的第二局，并为挽救比赛做出了伟大但徒劳的努力......

Never has MacLaren played a greater innings." Afterwards, MacLaren scored a century in difficult batting conditions against Yorkshire.

麦克拉伦从来没有打过比这更好的局。”随后，麦克拉伦在对阵约克郡队的比赛中，在艰难的击球条件下取得了一个世纪的成绩。

Jackson did not play in this game, and initially refused to play for England in the third Test; the press attributed this to jealousy of MacLaren and anger at being passed over for the captaincy.

杰克逊没有参加这场比赛，并且最初拒绝代表英格兰队参加第三次测试；媒体将此归因于对麦克拉伦的嫉妒和对被忽视担任队长的愤怒。

The third Test was drawn owing to poor weather, but England's revival continued in the next game, which was drawn with England in a dominant position.

第三场测试赛因天气不佳而被抽签，但英格兰队在接下来的比赛中继续复兴，并在英格兰占据优势的情况下抽签。

The final match was also drawn, but while England lost the series 1–0, critics believed the team had recovered from a poor start to the summer and held the ascendancy in the final three games.

最后一场比赛也是平局，但尽管英格兰队以 1-0 输掉了系列赛，但评论家认为球队已经从夏季的糟糕开局中恢复过来，并在最后三场比赛中保持了优势。

MacLaren's only score over fifty was that in the second Test, and he finished the series with 164 runs at 32.80.

麦克拉伦唯一超过 50 分的得分是在第二次测试中，他以 32.80 的成绩以 164 分结束了系列赛。

In all first-class cricket, he made 814 runs at 32.56, including two centuries against Yorkshire.

在所有一流的板球比赛中，他以 32.56 的成绩跑出了 814 分，其中包括对阵约克郡队的两个世纪。

In late 1899, MacLaren joined a private cricket tour of America and Canada organised by the cricket-playing Indian prince Ranjitsinhji.

1899 年末，麦克拉伦参加了由板球运动员印度王子 Ranjitsinhji 组织的美国和加拿大私人板球巡回赛。

The following March, he was appointed as an assistant secretary at Lancashire.

第二年三月，他被任命为兰开夏郡助理秘书。

The position was a sinecure; his main role was to coach the first eleven which effectively meant that he was paid to play cricket, despite his amateur status.

这个职位是一个闲职；他的主要职责是指导前11名球员，这实际上意味着尽管他是业余选手，但他还是可以拿钱打板球。

Surviving records do not indicate his salary, but some sources suggest he was paid comfortably more than Lancashire's leading professionals.

现存的记录并没有表明他的薪水，但一些消息来源表明，他的薪水比兰开夏郡领先的专业人士高得多。

In addition, MacLaren worked as a journalist for the Daily Express, reporting on matches in which he played, a common practice at the time for amateurs.

此外，麦克拉伦还担任《每日快报》的记者，报道他参加的比赛，这在当时是业余爱好者的常见做法。

Resuming sole control over the Lancashire side, and freed from his teaching responsibilities, MacLaren played from the beginning of the 1900 season, planning meticulously in a bid to lead Lancashire to the County Championship.

麦克拉伦恢复了对兰开夏郡队的唯一控制，并摆脱了他的教学职责，从 1900 年赛季开始就开始了比赛，精心策划，力图带领兰开夏郡队夺得郡冠军。

His batting form suffered initially, but the team dominated the start of the season.

他的击球状态最初受到影响，但球队在赛季开始时占据了主导地位。

Commentators gave much of the credit to MacLaren's captaincy.

评论家们将大部分功劳归功于麦克拉伦的队长职务。

However, he was severely criticised for conservative tactics in one game, when he was reluctant to attempt to force a win.

然而，他在一场比赛中因战术保守而受到严厉批评，当时他不愿意试图强行取胜。

In the latter stages of the season, MacLaren scored prolifically, making a succession of high scores at rapid pace.

赛季后期，麦克拉伦进球多，节奏快，连续取得高分。

He ended the 1900 season with 1,554 runs at 36.13.

1900 年赛季结束时，他得到了 1,554 分，得分为 36.13。

During that season, the leading Lancashire bowler Arthur Mold had been no-balled for throwing, but MacLaren defended him in the press.

那个赛季，兰开夏郡的领先投球手阿瑟·莫尔德因投球而被罚无球，但麦克拉伦在媒体上为他辩护。

At a meeting of county captains in December, MacLaren was the only representative to defend the legality of Mold's bowling action, and in 1901, Mold was again no-balled and his career was effectively over.

在 12 月举行的县队长会议上，麦克拉伦是唯一捍卫莫尔德保龄球动作合法性的代表，1901 年，莫尔德再次无球，他的职业生涯实际上结束了。

MacLaren struggled with injury in 1901, and his batting form suffered.

1901年，麦克拉伦饱受伤病困扰，他的击球状态也受到影响。

He frequently dropped low in the batting order, and it was late in the season before he began to score runs regularly.

他的击球顺序经常下降，直到赛季末他才开始定期得分。

His captaincy was criticised after some tactical decisions which were either unconventional or unsuccessful, and he clashed with the Lancashire committee over the poor state of Old Trafford's pitch.

他的队长任期因一些非常规或不成功的战术决定而受到批评，他还因老特拉福德球场糟糕的状况与兰开夏郡委员会发生冲突。

In total, he scored 1,069 first-class runs at 31.44.

他总共获得了 1,069 分，得分为 31.44。

MacLaren was invited by the Melbourne Cricket Club to bring a team to Australia during the English winter of 1901–02.

麦克拉伦受墨尔本板球俱乐部邀请，在 1901-02 年英国冬季将一支球队带到澳大利亚。

This was the last privately organised team to represent England at Test level in Australia, with subsequent ones playing under the colours of the MCC.

这是最后一支代表英格兰参加澳大利亚测试级别的私人组织的球队，随后的球队都以 MCC 的名义参加比赛。

Many leading players were unavailable—Yorkshire's Wilfred Rhodes and George Hirst were not permitted to tour by their captain Lord Hawke.

许多主要球员都缺席了——约克郡的威尔弗雷德·罗兹和乔治·赫斯特的队长霍克勋爵不允许他们参加巡演。

The team was judged to be weak, but contained several players at the beginning of their careers who went on to success at Test level.

该团队被认为实力较弱，但其中有几位在职业生涯初期就在测试级别取得成功的球员。

Sydney Barnes was chosen by MacLaren after playing only a handful of county matches.

悉尼·巴恩斯（Sydney Barnes）在只参加了几场县比赛后被麦克拉伦选中。

Barnes' success on his single appearance for Lancashire in 1901 convinced MacLaren of his worth, to the surprise and disparagement of commentators, most of whom had never seen him.

1901 年，巴恩斯在兰开夏郡队的一次出场中取得了成功，这让麦克拉伦相信了他的价值，这让评论员们感到惊讶和蔑视，他们中的大多数人从未见过他。

Barnes began the tour well, but did not get on with his captain.

巴恩斯的巡演开始得很好，但与他的队长相处得并不好。

During a storm on part of the sea journey, MacLaren, speculating on their chances of survival, commented to a team member: "If we go down, at least that bugger Barnes will go down with us." The team lost their first match and continued to struggle.

在海上旅程中遇到风暴时，麦克拉伦在猜测他们的生存机会时，对一名队员评论道：“如果我们沉下去，至少那个混蛋巴恩斯会和我们一起沉下去。”球队首场比赛失利，继续陷入困境。

MacLaren clashed with authorities in Melbourne over his right to choose an umpire, but he began to bat well at Sydney, where he scored 145 and 73 in a tour match.

麦克拉伦在墨尔本与当局就自己选择裁判的权利发生了冲突，但他在悉尼开始表现出色，在一场巡回赛中打出了 145 杆和 73 杆的成绩。

In the first Test, MacLaren shared a century opening partnership with Tom Hayward and scored 116 to become the first man to score four Test centuries.

在第一次测试中，麦克拉伦与汤姆·海沃德共享了一个世纪的开局搭档，并获得了 116 分，成为第一个在四个测试中得分的人。

This was the last Test century by an England captain in Australia for 57 years.

这是英格兰队队长在澳大利亚 57 年来最后一次参加测试世纪。

Barnes bowled with great success; Colin Blythe and Len Braund, like Barnes chosen by MacLaren and making their Test debuts, performed effectively and England won by an innings.

巴恩斯投球取得巨大成功；科林·布莱斯和伦·布劳德，就像麦克拉伦选择的巴恩斯一样，在测试中首次亮相，表现出色，英格兰队以一局之差获胜。

The remaining four Tests were lost as the team suffered from a lack of effective bowlers.

由于球队缺乏有效的投球手，剩下的四场测试都失败了。

MacLaren severely overbowled Barnes, who took 13 wickets, in the second Test; the bowler was injured in the next game and took no further part on the tour.

麦克拉伦在第二次测试中严重击败了巴恩斯，巴恩斯拿下了 13 个三柱门。投球手在下一场比赛中受伤，不再参加巡回赛。

MacLaren was successful with the bat.

麦克拉伦用球棒取得了成功。

He scored 92 in the fourth Test, made centuries in the two first-class games played in between the Test matches, and finished top of the batting averages.

他在第四次测试中得到了 92 分，在测试赛之间的两场一流比赛中打出了几个世纪，并且在安打率上名列前茅。

Critics judged that his team had performed well despite the heavy defeat, and his captaincy attracted praise.

评论家认为，尽管惨败，他的球队表现还是不错的，他的队长表现也受到了赞扬。

In addition, the team were considered to be the best fielding side to visit Australia.

此外，该队还被认为是访问澳大利亚的最佳阵容。

In the Test series, MacLaren scored 412 runs at 45.77, while in all first-class matches he hit 929 runs at 58.06.

在测试系列赛中，麦克拉伦以 45.77 分得到 412 分，而在所有一流比赛中他以 58.06 分得到 929 分。

Before the tour began, MacLaren resigned as Lancashire's captain and assistant secretary, owing to his concern for the health of his wife.

在巡演开始之前，出于对妻子健康的担忧，麦克拉伦辞去了兰开夏郡队队长和助理秘书的职务。

Journalists speculated that MacLaren would join the Hampshire team as assistant secretary, as he lived in that county, or even move to Australia.

记者猜测麦克拉伦将加入汉普郡团队担任助理秘书，因为他住在该县，甚至搬到澳大利亚。

Lancashire selected a replacement captain, but when MacLaren returned to England, he re-committed to the club, stating the visit to Australia had improved the health of his wife, and he was reappointed.

兰开夏郡选择了一名替代队长，但当麦克拉伦返回英格兰时，他重新承诺为俱乐部效力，并表示对澳大利亚的访问改善了他妻子的健康状况，因此他被重新任命。

MacLaren began the 1902 season well and, facing an Ashes series against Australia, began planning for the Tests; he arranged to receive reports on prospective players from both sides.

麦克拉伦在 1902 年赛季开局良好，面对澳大利亚队的灰烬系列赛，开始计划测试；他安排接收双方关于潜在球员的报告。

England dominated the first Test, scoring 376 and bowling Australia out for 36; rain prevented a result and also heavily curtailed the drawn second Test.

英格兰队在第一次测试中占据主导地位，得分为 376 分，澳大利亚队以 36 分出局；下雨阻碍了比赛的结果，也严重限制了抽签的第二次测试。

The team for the third Test, played in Sheffield, was to be chosen from 12 players picked by the selectors, with the final place contested between Bill Lockwood and Schofield Haigh.

在谢菲尔德进行的第三次测试的球队是从选拔者选出的 12 名球员中选出的，最后的名额将在比尔·洛克伍德 (Bill Lockwood) 和斯科菲尔德·黑格 (Schofield Haigh) 之间争夺。

However, on the morning of the match, MacLaren, with the approval of the selector Lord Hawke, summoned Barnes from Manchester to play instead of either.

然而，在比赛当天早上，麦克拉伦在选择者霍克勋爵的批准下，从曼彻斯特召唤了巴恩斯代替两人上场。

The move was unpopular with spectators—their favoured choice, Haigh, was a Yorkshire player—but Barnes took six wickets in the first innings, although injury reduced his effectiveness in the second innings.

这一举动不受观众欢迎——他们最喜欢的选择黑格是一名约克郡球员——但巴恩斯在第一局拿下了六个三柱门，尽管伤病降低了他在第二局的效率。

England were bowled out in poor light—MacLaren's biographer Michael Down suggests that part of the blame lies with him for not appealing against the light—and needed an unlikely 339 runs to win in their second innings.

英格兰队在光线不佳的情况下被淘汰——麦克拉伦的传记作者迈克尔·唐（Michael Down）表示，部分责任在于他没有对光线提出上诉——并且在第二局需要出人意料的 339 分才能获胜。

MacLaren changed the batting order, asking Gilbert Jessop to open the batting.

麦克拉伦改变了击球顺序，要求吉尔伯特·杰索普打开击球。

Jessop scored fifty, and MacLaren scored 63, but England lost by 143 runs.

杰索普拿下 50 分，麦克拉伦拿下 63 分，但英格兰队以 143 分之差落败。

Following the defeat, the England selectors made several changes for the fourth Test; both Barnes and Jessop were left out.

失利后，英格兰选拔者对第四次测试进行了一些修改；巴恩斯和杰索普都被排除在外。

MacLaren favoured Jessop's inclusion but the selectors considered him unreliable.

麦克拉伦赞成杰索普的加入，但选择者认为他不可靠。

Although Barnes was not fully fit, later commentators suggested the selectors omitted him because of MacLaren's actions at Sheffield.

尽管巴恩斯并未完全康复，但后来的评论员建议选择者由于麦克拉伦在谢菲尔德的表现而忽略了他。

A further player was added to the squad in case the pitch was affected by rain before the match, but rather than choosing Haigh, the leading wet-pitch bowler in the country, Hawke insisted that Sussex's Fred Tate was included—critics have suggested that Hawke wanted to prevent Haigh's absence from the Yorkshire team, of which Hawke was captain, given the unlikeliness of the extra bowler being needed.

球队又增加了一名球员，以防赛前球场因下雨而受到影响，但霍克并没有选择该国领先的湿投投球手黑格，而是坚持将苏塞克斯的弗雷德·泰特纳入其中。批评者认为，霍克希望阻止黑格缺席约克郡队，因为霍克是这支球队的队长，因为不太可能需要额外的投球手。

According to the cricket writer Neville Cardus, when MacLaren saw the list of players in the team, he responded: "My God, look what they've sent me".

据板球作家内维尔·卡杜斯称，当麦克拉伦看到队内球员名单时，他回应道：“天啊，看看他们给我发了什么”。

MacLaren was angry with Hawke, and when it rained before the match, included Tate in the final eleven at the expense of George Hirst, a leading all-rounder.

麦克拉伦对霍克很生气，当赛前下雨时，泰特被列入最后的十一名选手，而牺牲了领先的全能选手乔治·赫斯特。

Gibson suggests that Tate was included by the selectors only "because they thought MacLaren could not possibly pick him" and so he could not make any further late changes to the team; MacLaren, according to Gibson, in turn included Tate out of spite.

吉布森表示，泰特被选择者列入只是“因为他们认为麦克拉伦不可能选择他”，因此他无法对团队做出任何进一步的后期调整；根据吉布森的说法，麦克拉伦出于恶意而将泰特纳入其中。

Other writers have suggested that MacLaren, as a Lancastrian, preferred a Sussex player to a Yorkshire one.

其他作家认为，作为兰开斯特家族的麦克拉伦，更喜欢苏塞克斯球员而不是约克郡球员。

Australia won the toss.

澳大利亚赢得了掷骰子。

The match began in damp conditions, and before the pitch began to dry, at which point it would become extremely difficult for batting, the Australian opening batsmen scored 135 in 90 minutes; Australia's total reached 173 for one wicket at lunch, and Victor Trumper scored a century in that time.

比赛在潮湿的条件下开始，在球场开始干燥之前，击球变得极其困难，澳大利亚队的开场击球手在90分钟内得分为135分；澳大利亚在午餐时的一个三柱门总数达到了 173 分，维克多·特鲁姆珀 (Victor Trumper) 在那段时间得分了一个世纪。

MacLaren was subsequently criticised for allowing Australia to score so quickly, but claimed that his carefully planned strategy was rendered obsolete when Trumper began to strike the ball out of the ground.

麦克拉伦随后因让澳大利亚队如此快地得分而受到批评，但他声称，当特鲁姆珀开始将球击出地面时，他精心策划的策略就变得过时了。

MacLaren commented: "I couldn't very well have had a man fielding in the bloody practice ground, now could I?" The bowlers recovered the situation to some extent, and following a century from Jackson, England trailed by 37 runs after the first innings.

麦克拉伦评论道：“我不可能让一个人在该死的训练场上防守，现在可以吗？”保龄球手们在一定程度上挽回了局面，在距离杰克逊一个世纪后，英格兰队在第一局后落后了37分。

In the second innings, Australia collapsed to the England bowlers, but Tate dropped a crucial catch while stationed by MacLaren at the edge of the field.

在第二局中，澳大利亚队输给了英格兰投球手，但泰特在麦克拉伦站在球场边缘时接球失败。

MacLaren also received criticism for this, as Tate was unaccustomed to fielding on the boundary.

麦克拉伦也因此受到批评，因为泰特不习惯在边界上防守。

Gibson notes that MacLaren "later spent much breath defending himself on this point"; although it is not clear how Tate came to be moved—a later interpretation is that MacLaren moved Tate there rather than ask an amateur player to cross the field for a few deliveries—most commentators agree that this was the turning point of the match.

吉布森指出，麦克拉伦“后来花了很多时间在这一点上为自己辩护”；尽管目前还不清楚泰特是如何被移动的——后来的解释是麦克拉伦将泰特移到了那里，而不是让业余球员穿过场地进行几次投篮——但大多数评论员都认为这是比赛的转折点。

England were left needing 124 runs to win.

英格兰队需要 124 分才能获胜。

MacLaren opened the batting, having batted at number four in the first innings, and tried to score quickly, but was caught from a big hit.

麦克拉伦在第一局中以四号位击球，并试图快速得分，但遭到重击。

According to Gibson, he returned to the dressing room in fury, throwing his bat across the room and saying that he had "thrown away the match and the bloody rubber [series]".

根据吉布森的说法，他愤怒地回到更衣室，将球棒扔到房间的另一边，并说他“扔掉了比赛和该死的橡胶[系列]”。

Gibson suggests that the implication that only MacLaren could have guided England to victory must have had a demoralising effect on the remaining batsmen, and speculates that he felt guilty over the composition of a team that looked likely to lose.

吉布森表示，只有麦克拉伦才能带领英格兰队取得胜利的暗示一定会对剩下的击球手产生士气低落的影响，并推测他对一支看起来可能会失败的球队的组成感到内疚。

Gibson comments: "This does not say much for MacLaren as a captain.

吉布森评论道：“这对于作为队长的麦克拉伦来说并没有多大意义。

Indeed, it has always seemed to me a shocking performance, from the choice of the team to the chuck of the bat." Wickets continued to fall and Tate, the last batsman, was bowled when England needed four runs to win.

事实上，从球队的选择到球棒的击球，我一直觉得这是一场令人震惊的表演。”三柱门继续下降，最后一位击球手泰特在英格兰队需要四分才能获胜时被击中。

England won the final match by one wicket, but lost the series 2–1.

英格兰队以一球之差赢得了最后一场比赛，但以 2-1 输掉了系列赛。

While contemporary critics did not blame MacLaren, the cricket authorities were less happy.

虽然当代批评家并没有责怪麦克拉伦，但板球权威却不太高兴。

MacLaren believed that the choices of the selectors had made it impossible to win, and continued to write about the series for many years.

麦克拉伦认为，选择者的选择导致了不可能获胜，并多年来继续撰写有关该系列的文章。

He finished the series with 198 runs at 28.28, and ended the season with 1,254 first-class runs at 32.15.

他在系列赛中以 28.28 分的成绩完成了 198 分，并以 32.15 分的成绩以 1,254 分的一流分结束了赛季。

MacLaren took a new job with a wine merchant which allowed him to complete a full season in 1903.

麦克拉伦在一家酒商找到了一份新工作，这使他能够在 1903 年完成一个完整的赛季。

Wet weather caused many difficult pitches for batting, and MacLaren was often the only Lancashire batsman able to cope with the conditions.

潮湿的天气导致许多击球困难，麦克拉伦通常是兰开夏郡唯一能够应对这种天气的击球手。

His highest-profile success came when he captained the Gentlemen against the Players at Lord's.

他最引人注目的成功是在他作为绅士队队长在罗德球场对阵球员队时取得的。

When his team faced defeat on the final day on a difficult pitch, he scored 168 not out and shared a partnership of 309 with C.

当他的球队在最后一天在艰难的球场上遭遇失败时，他得到了 168 分，没有出局，并与 C. 并列获得 309 分。

B.

B.

Fry in less than three hours.

煎不到三个小时。

This innings was later praised as one of his finest.

这一局后来被称赞为他最好的一局。

He ended the season with 1,886 runs at 42.86, and Lancashire finished fourth.

他以 42.86 分的成绩结束了赛季，兰开夏郡获得第四名。

However, his success with the bat was overshadowed by controversy over the England captaincy.

然而，他在球棒上的成功却被英格兰队长的争议所掩盖。

MacLaren originally planned to tour Australia with another private team in the winter of 1903–04, but withdrew over his concerns that there was not enough strong bowling available.

麦克拉伦原本计划在 1903-04 年冬天与另一支私人球队一起巡演澳大利亚，但由于担心没有足够的强力保龄球而取消了。

Frustrated with MacLaren, the cricket authorities in Melbourne asked the MCC, via Pelham Warner, to organise their own team.

由于对麦克拉伦队感到失望，墨尔本板球当局通过佩勒姆·华纳 (Pelham Warner) 要求 MCC 组织自己的球队。

MacLaren was not offered the captaincy—Warner was chosen in June 1903 when Jackson proved unavailable.

麦克拉伦没有获得队长职位——1903 年 6 月，当杰克逊无法上场时，华纳被任命为队长。

Newspaper rumours suggested that Lord Hawke played a part in this decision, and that MacLaren's recent paid role for Lancashire counted against him.

报纸谣言表明霍克勋爵在这一决定中发挥了作用，而麦克拉伦最近在兰开夏郡的带薪角色对他不利。

The press favoured MacLaren, and Warner was widely criticised; one journal noted that he was "condemned as an interloper and a nonentity".

媒体青睐麦克拉伦，而华纳则受到广泛批评。一本杂志指出他“被谴责为闯入者和无足轻重的人”。

The cricket establishment was less sympathetic to MacLaren.

板球界对麦克拉伦不太同情。

After publicly vacillating over the summer, he eventually decided not to tour under Warner, whom he perceived to be his junior.

在整个夏天公开犹豫之后，他最终决定不在华纳的带领下巡演，因为他认为华纳是他的下级。

The tour proved a great success for Warner, and his team won the Test series.

事实证明，华纳的巡演取得了巨大成功，他的团队赢得了测试系列赛的冠军。

In 1904, MacLaren led Lancashire to victory in the County Championship, their only such success under his captaincy.

1904 年，麦克拉伦带领兰开夏郡队在郡锦标赛中取得胜利，这是他们在他担任队长期间取得的唯一一次成功。

Unusually for a Championship-winning team, the club relied heavily on batting rather than bowling.

对于一支冠军球队来说不同寻常的是，该俱乐部严重依赖击球而不是保龄球。

MacLaren played several big innings, scoring at a rapid pace, as his team began the season with a string of victories.

麦克拉伦打了几局大局，得分很快，他的球队在赛季开始时取得了一系列的胜利。

Their form faded later in the season, but they remained unbeaten.

他们的状态在赛季后期有所下滑，但仍然保持不败。

In all first-class cricket, MacLaren scored 1,191 runs at 31.34.

在所有一流板球比赛中，麦克拉伦以 31.34 分得了 1,191 分。

At some point during the season, he was asked by Ranjitsinhji, a close friend, to become his private secretary, and both men travelled to India during the winter of 1904–05.

在赛季的某个时候，他的密友兰吉辛吉 (Ranjitsinhji) 邀请他担任他的私人秘书，两人在 1904-05 年冬季前往印度旅行。

Ranjitsinhji at the time was pursuing his claim to the throne of Nawanagar, and he remained in India when MacLaren returned to England for the 1905 cricket season.

兰吉辛吉当时正在追求对纳瓦纳加尔王位的继承权，当麦克拉伦返回英国参加 1905 年板球赛季时，他留在印度。

The Australians toured England in 1905, but MacLaren was again passed over for the England captaincy; the team was captained by Jackson and won the series 2–0.

1905 年，澳大利亚队造访英格兰，但麦克拉伦再次未能担任英格兰队队长。杰克逊担任队长的球队以 2-0 赢得了系列赛。

MacLaren began the season well and played in the first Test.

麦克拉伦赛季开局良好，并参加了第一次测试。

Australia led by 25 runs after the first innings, as England struggled to play the pace of Albert Cotter.

第一局后，澳大利亚队领先 25 分，而英格兰队却很难跟上阿尔伯特·科特的节奏。

According to a story later told by Neville Cardus, before the second innings he saw MacLaren muttering: "Cotter!

根据内维尔·卡杜斯后来讲述的故事，在第二局比赛之前，他看到麦克拉伦嘀咕道：“科特！

I'll bloody Cotter him!".

我该死的科特他！”

MacLaren attacked Cotter's bowling, and overcame the defensive bowling tactics used by Australia to slow down the game.

麦克拉伦攻击了科特的保龄球，并克服了澳大利亚队用来减缓比赛速度的防守保龄球战术。

He scored 140, his highest Test innings and only Test century in England.

他得到了 140 分，这是他在英格兰测试赛中的最高局数，也是唯一一个测试世纪。

When Australia batted, Bernard Bosanquet took eight wickets to bowl England to a win; it was MacLaren's suggestion that Jackson persist with Bosanquet's bowling when it was initially unsuccessful.

当澳大利亚队击球时，伯纳德·博桑奎特 (Bernard Bosanquet) 攻入八个三柱门，帮助英格兰队取得胜利；当博桑奎特的保龄球最初不成功时，麦克拉伦建议杰克逊坚持使用博桑奎特的保龄球。

MacLaren scored 56 and 79 in the drawn second Test, but did not play in the third owing to injury.

麦克拉伦在抽签的第二场测试中分别取得了 56 分和 79 分，但由于受伤而没有参加第三场比赛。

He played in the final two Tests but accomplished little.

他参加了最后两次测试，但收效甚微。

In the series, he scored 303 runs at 43.28.

在这个系列赛中，他得到了 303 分，得分为 43.28。

Jackson later wrote that MacLaren was an invaluable tactical aid during the series.

杰克逊后来写道，麦克拉伦在系列赛中是一个无价的战术助手。

Lancashire ended the season second in the Championship, and opened a testimonial fund for MacLaren which raised over £800 by the end of the season.

兰开夏郡以锦标赛第二名的成绩结束了赛季，并为麦克拉伦设立了纪念基金，到赛季结束时筹集了超过 800 英镑。

He later clashed with committee members who were unhappy with his decision to use the money to buy a motor car.

后来，他与委员会成员发生了冲突，这些成员对他用这笔钱购买汽车的决定感到不满。

At the end of the season, MacLaren resigned the captaincy of Lancashire, but was persuaded to continue by the committee.

赛季结束后，麦克拉伦辞去了兰开夏队队长职务，但被委员会说服继续留任。

In total during 1905, he scored 1,522 runs at an average of 35.39 in all first-class cricket.

1905 年，他在所有一流板球比赛中总共得分 1,522 分，平均分 35.39 分。

A combination of injuries and work reduced the amount of cricket MacLaren played after 1905.

1905 年之后，由于伤病和工作原因，麦克拉伦的板球比赛数量减少了。

He missed most of Lancashire's matches in June and July 1906.

他错过了 1906 年 6 月和 7 月兰开夏郡的大部分比赛。

He returned against Middlesex at Lord's in August, but was involved in mild controversy when he declined to put Middlesex's batsmen under pressure when chasing a small but challenging total to win the game; this may have arisen from his dislike of Lord's and the figures in authority there.

八月，他在洛德球场对阵米德尔塞克斯队的比赛中复出，但当他在追逐小但具有挑战性的总得分以赢得比赛时拒绝给米德尔塞克斯队的击球手施加压力时，他陷入了轻微的争议；这可能是由于他不喜欢勋爵和那里的权威人物。

MacLaren ended the 1906 season with 599 runs at 20.65.

麦克拉伦以 599 场比赛结束了 1906 年赛季，成绩为 20.65。

In the winter of 1906–07, MacLaren returned to India to work for Ranjitsinhji.

1906-07 年冬天，麦克拉伦回到印度为 Ranjitsinhji 工作。

In January 1907, he wrote to Lancashire to inform them of his reduced availability for 1907; even so, the committee retained him as captain.

1907 年 1 月，他写信给兰开夏郡，告知他们 1907 年他的空闲时间减少了。即便如此，委员会仍保留他担任队长。

In February, Ranjitsinhji was named as the new ruler of Nawanagar.

二月，兰吉辛吉被任命为纳瓦纳加尔的新统治者。

MacLaren attended his installation on 11 March—MacLaren and the politician Arthur Priestley were the only English attendees—and did not return to England until mid-June, although he informed Lancashire that his absence in India was to recover from an illness.

麦克拉伦于 3 月 11 日出席了他的就职典礼——麦克拉伦和政治家亚瑟·普里斯特利是唯一的英国出席者——直到 6 月中旬才返回英国，尽管他告诉兰开夏郡，他缺席印度是为了养病。

He resumed the captaincy of Lancashire, and made a good start with scores of 47 and 92 in his second match, but his form faded.

他重新担任兰开夏队队长，并在第二场比赛中以47分和92分取得良好开局，但他的状态逐渐衰退。

One match provoked a public row between MacLaren and Lord's.

一场比赛引发了麦克拉伦队和洛德队之间的公开争吵。

MacLaren captained Lancashire against Middlesex at Lord's in July; rain restricted play on the first day of the three-day game, and at the start of the second day, the umpires ruled that the waterlogged pitch remained unfit to play on.

七月，麦克拉伦作为兰开夏队队长在洛德球场对阵米德尔塞克斯队。为期三天的比赛第一天因降雨限制了比赛，第二天开始时，裁判裁定积水的球场仍然不适合比赛。

Some spectators came on to the pitch to look for themselves, then protested outside the pavilion.

一些观众来到球场上寻找自己，然后在场馆外抗议。

The incident was defused by the ground authorities, but the following day MacLaren told the press: "Owing to the pitch having been deliberately torn up by the public, I, as captain of the Lancashire eleven, cannot see my way to continue the game, the groundsman bearing me out that the wicket [pitch] could not be again put right." Lancashire would not play—although all decisions about fitness for play should have been made by the umpires, not MacLaren—and the match was drawn.

地面当局平息了这一事件，但第二天麦克拉伦告诉媒体：“由于球场被公众故意撕毁，我作为兰开夏郡十一队的队长，看不到继续比赛的方法，场地管理员向我表明三柱门[球场]无法再次恢复正常。”兰开夏郡不会参加比赛——尽管所有关于比赛健康状况的决定都应该由裁判而不是麦克拉伦做出——比赛结果是平局。

The incident provoked discussion in the press, but most critics agreed that MacLaren was in the wrong.

这一事件引起了媒体的讨论，但大多数评论家都认为麦克拉伦的做法是错误的。

MacLaren subsequently scored his first century for two years, but he did little in the remainder of the season, at the end of which he again resigned the captaincy of Lancashire, conscious of his failing form and fitness.

麦克拉伦随后在两年内取得了他的第一个百分百，但他在赛季剩余的时间里几乎没有做什么，在赛季结束时，他再次辞去了兰开夏队队长的职务，意识到自己的状态和健康状况不佳。

In all first-class cricket in 1907, he scored 829 runs at 26.74.

在 1907 年所有一流板球比赛中，他以 26.74 分得了 829 分。

Much of MacLaren's time was now taken up working for Ranjitsinhji, who visited England between October 1907 and December 1908.

麦克拉伦的大部分时间都花在了为兰吉辛吉工作上，兰吉辛吉在 1907 年 10 月至 1908 年 12 月期间访问了英国。

MacLaren played just nine matches in 1908; Lancashire were eager for him to play, but he had little impact.

1908 年，麦克拉伦只打了 9 场比赛；兰开夏郡渴望他上场，但他的影响不大。

His greatest success came for the Gentlemen against the Players at the Oval, when he shared a partnership of 141 with C.

他最大的成功是代表绅士队在椭圆形球场对阵球员队，当时他与 C. 分享了 141 的搭档。

In total, he scored 428 runs at an average of 28.53.

他总共得分 428 分，平均分 28.53 分。

Meanwhile, Ranjitsinhji lived extravagantly in Sussex, running up huge bills and ignoring most attempts to make him pay.

与此同时，兰吉辛吉在苏塞克斯过着奢侈的生活，积累了巨额账单，并且无视大多数让他付款的尝试。

MacLaren was involved in several cases which resulted in either legal action or complaint to the India Office.

麦克拉伦参与了多起案件，这些案件导致采取法律行动或向印度办事处投诉。

When an artist had to go to court to make Ranjitsinhji pay for work she had done, MacLaren's attempts to delay and obstruct her caused the India Office, in its adjudication, to describe him as Ranjitsinhji's "ridiculous private secretary".

当一名艺术家必须上法庭要求兰吉辛吉支付她所做的工作费用时，麦克拉伦试图拖延和阻挠她，导致印度办公室在裁决中将他描述为兰吉辛吉的“可笑的私人秘书”。

In October, MacLaren was taken to court himself over non-payment of rent.

十月，麦克拉伦因未付租金而被告上法庭。

He had a house close to Ranjitsinhji's residence, and claimed in court that Ranjitsinhji rented the house on his behalf, and, as a ruling prince, could not be prosecuted.

他在兰吉辛吉的住所附近有一所房子，并在法庭上声称兰吉辛吉代表他租了房子，作为执政的王子，不能被起诉。

The magistrates disagreed, ruled MacLaren liable, and forced him to pay—although Ranjitsinhji probably paid for him.

地方法官不同意，裁定麦克拉伦负有责任，并强迫他付款——尽管兰吉辛吉可能为他付款。

In his biography of Ranjitsinhji, Simon Wilde suggests that MacLaren had to work very hard for his employer in this period, and found little time for cricket.

西蒙·王尔德在他的兰吉辛吉传记中表示，麦克拉伦在这段时期必须为他的雇主努力工作，几乎没有时间打板球。

In addition, his batting form was poor throughout, and he seemed to be in bad physical condition when he occasionally found time to play.

另外，他的击球状态自始至终都很差，偶尔抽出时间打球的时候，他的身体状况似乎也很糟糕。

Before Ranjitsinhji returned to India, MacLaren resigned as his secretary—although he went with him to India for a holiday.

在兰吉辛吉返回印度之前，麦克拉伦辞去了秘书一职，尽管他和他一起去印度度假。

According to Wilde, the resignation was to allow MacLaren to play more regularly, but "he never really recovered his form".

根据王尔德的说法，辞职是为了让麦克拉伦能够更频繁地参加比赛，但“他从未真正恢复状态”。

In summarising Ranjitsinhji's life at this time, Wilde suggests that his unreliability with money was quite calculated, and writes: "Many of his off-the-field exploits with A.

在总结兰吉辛吉此时的生活时，王尔德表示他对金钱的不可靠是经过深思熟虑的，并写道：“他在 A. 场外的许多功绩。

For the 1909 season, MacLaren worked to improve his fitness prior to that summer's Test series against Australia.

1909 年赛季，麦克拉伦在夏季对阵澳大利亚的测试系列赛之前努力提高自己的体能。

Jackson was first choice to lead the England team, but when he was unavailable, MacLaren was appointed captain, to the approval of critics and the public.

杰克逊是带领英格兰队的首选，但当他无法上场时，麦克拉伦被任命为队长，得到了评论家和公众的认可。

MacLaren began the season well for Lancashire, and as Australia struggled in their early tour matches, England began the Tests as favourites to win.

麦克拉伦为兰开夏郡队开局良好，而澳大利亚队在早期的巡回赛中表现不佳，而英格兰队则在测试赛开始时成为获胜的热门。

England won the low-scoring first match; the press praised MacLaren's deployment of fielders.

英格兰队以低比分赢得了第一场比赛；媒体赞扬了麦克拉伦对外野手的部署。

In England's second innings Jack Hobbs, batting with Fry—whom MacLaren promoted to open the batting having done so himself in the first innings—scored the required runs to complete a ten-wicket win.

在英格兰队的第二局中，杰克·霍布斯（Jack Hobbs）与弗莱（Fry）一起击球（麦克拉伦在第一局中亲自击球，而麦克拉伦则将弗莱提升为打开击球手），取得了所需的分数，以完成十个三柱门的胜利。

Hobbs was making his first Test appearance in England, despite MacLaren's reluctance to include him in the team.

尽管麦克拉伦不愿意让霍布斯加入球队，但霍布斯还是在英格兰首次参加测试赛。

The England selectors made several changes to the team for the second Test.

英格兰队的选择者对第二次测试的阵容进行了一些调整。

Colin Blythe, a crucial bowler to the team, withdrew before the game.

球队的关键投球手科林·布莱斯在赛前退出。

Other players were left out whom most commentators believed should have played, and the bowling attack was packed with medium-paced bowlers of a similar style.

大多数评论员认为应该参加比赛的其他球员被排除在外，保龄球进攻中充满了类似风格的中等节奏的投球手。

The report in Wisden suggested: "Never in the history of Test Matches in England has there been such blundering in the selection of an England eleven".

《威斯登》的报道指出：“在英格兰测试赛的历史上，英格兰十一人的选择从来没有出现过如此大的失误”。

The selectors later implied the controversial choices were at the behest of MacLaren, although other evidence suggests that MacLaren did not get the team he requested.

选择者后来暗示，这些有争议的选择是应麦克拉伦的要求，尽管其他证据表明麦克拉伦没有得到他所要求的球队。

England lost the game; MacLaren's reputation suffered and commentators began to blame him for the defeat.

英格兰队输掉了比赛；麦克拉伦的声誉受到损害，评论家开始将失败归咎于他。

He offered his resignation, but the selectors retained him as captain and restored some of the players omitted from the second Test.

他提出辞职，但选拔者保留了他的队长职务，并恢复了第二次测试中遗漏的一些球员。

When England lost the third Test after the batsmen failed, not helped by MacLaren's poor form, critics questioned his place in the team.

当英格兰队因击球手失败而输掉第三次测试时，麦克拉伦糟糕的状态并没有帮助英格兰队，批评者质疑了他在球队中的地位。

MacLaren tried to excuse his position, suggesting in the press that he knew the team would struggle and played "in spite of my personal wishes".

麦克拉伦试图为自己的立场辩解，他在媒体上暗示，他知道球队会陷入困境，“尽管我个人愿意”，但还是会继续比赛。

He also implied that the team's selection was out of his hands.

他还暗示球队的选择不在他的掌控之中。

When the fourth Test was rained off, England could not win the series and so Australia retained the Ashes.

当第四场测试因雨取消时，英格兰无法赢得系列赛，因此澳大利亚保留了灰烬杯。

The final match of the series was drawn, mainly because the pitch heavily favoured batting.

系列赛的最后一场比赛之所以打成平局，主要是因为球场上非常注重击球。

MacLaren was involved in another selection controversy when the fast bowler Claude Buckenham was left out of the England team at his instigation.

麦克拉伦卷入了另一场选拔争议，快速投球手克劳德·巴肯纳姆在他的怂恿下被排除在英格兰队之外。

The Wisden match report described this decision as "so grave a blunder that it is difficult to find words in which to speak of it." The Wisden editor, Sydney Pardon, commented: "A fatal blunder was committed in leaving out Buckenham—a blunder for which it was generally understood that MacLaren was responsible.

威斯登比赛报道将这一决定描述为“一个如此严重的错误，以至于很难找到言语来形容它”。 《威斯登》杂志的编辑西德尼·帕登 (Sydney Pardon) 评论道：“遗漏了白金汉姆是一个致命的错误——人们普遍认为麦克拉伦要为这个错误负责。

Experts occasionally do strange things and this was one of the strangest.

专家偶尔会做一些奇怪的事情，这是最奇怪的事情之一。

The idea of letting England go into the field in fine weather, on a typical Oval wicket, with no fast bowler except Sharp touched the confines of lunacy." Further issues arose over MacLaren's handling of his bowlers, and Wisden suggested "MacLaren was sadly at fault in his management of the England bowling".

让英格兰队在晴朗的天气、典型的椭圆形三柱门、除了夏普之外没有快速投球手的情况下进入球场的想法触及了疯狂的界限。”麦克拉伦对投球手的处理出现了进一步的问题，威斯登表示“可悲的是，麦克拉伦在管理英格兰保龄球方面犯了错误”。

Douglas Carr, a 37-year-old, was called into the team after some success in preceding games and on the premise that the Australians would be unable to play his googly.

37岁的道格拉斯·卡尔(Douglas Carr)在前几场比赛中取得一些成功后被征召入队，前提是澳大利亚队将无法发挥他的出色表现。

After Carr had initial success, MacLaren kept him bowling for a long period until the player tired and was easily punished by the batsmen.

在卡尔取得初步成功后，麦克拉伦让他打了很长一段时间的保龄球，直到球员疲倦并很容易受到击球手的惩罚。

In his only innings, MacLaren scored 12, and when the match ended, much of the blame for England's failures was apportioned to him.

在他唯一的一局中，麦克拉伦拿下 12 分，当比赛结束时，英格兰队失败的大部分责任都归咎于他。

In the series, he scored 85 runs at 12.14.

在这个系列赛中，他以 12.14 的成绩得到 85 分。

The Oval match was his final Test match; in 35 games he had scored 1,931 runs at 33.87.

椭圆形比赛是他最后一场测试赛；在 35 场比赛中，他得到了 1,931 分，得分为 33.87。

He ended the season with 613 runs at 19.77.

他以 613 分、19.77 分的成绩结束了赛季。

MacLaren played regularly for Lancashire at the start of 1910, but his poor form continued until midway through the season, when he scored centuries in successive matches.

1910 年初，麦克拉伦经常为兰开夏郡队效力，但他的糟糕状态一直持续到赛季中期，他在连续几场比赛中取得了数百个进球。

He played once more for Lancashire and once for the "Gentlemen of England" before withdrawing from first-class cricket for the season, in which he scored 345 runs at 26.53.

他再次为兰开夏郡队效力，并一次为“英格兰绅士”队效力，然后退出本赛季的一流板球比赛，在该赛季中他以 26.53 分的成绩获得 345 分。

This was effectively the end of his Lancashire career and he played only sporadically for the team afterwards.

这实际上是他在兰开夏郡职业生涯的结束，此后他只偶尔为球队效力。

He continued to play cricket, including a tour of Argentina with the MCC in 1910–11.

他继续打板球，包括在 1910-11 年随 MCC 前往阿根廷巡回演出。

He also played for the team of the businessman Lionel Robinson, including some first-class games, over the following seasons.

在接下来的几个赛季中，他还为商人莱昂内尔罗宾逊的球队效力，包括一些一流的比赛。

During the 1914 season, MacLaren attempted to return to the Lancashire team, possibly to boost the circulation of a magazine for which he was writing.

1914 年赛季，麦克拉伦试图重返兰开夏郡队，可能是为了提高他所撰写的一本杂志的发行量。

He appeared in one county match, without success, although he continued to play in other first-class games for the MCC and other teams.

尽管他继续为 MCC 和其他球队参加其他一流比赛，但他参加了一场县比赛，但没有成功。

After MacLaren stopped playing regularly for Lancashire, he formed a business partnership with J.

麦克拉伦不再为兰开夏郡队效力后，他与 J. 建立了商业伙伴关系。

Pentelow, a cricket writer.

彭特洛，板球作家。

Pentelow was the owner of The World of Cricket, a cricket magazine, and in 1914 MacLaren joined him in an attempt to improve its circulation.

彭特洛是板球杂志《板球世界》的所有者，麦克拉伦于 1914 年加入他的行列，试图提高该杂志的发行量。

MacLaren was officially known as the editor of the publication and Pentelow his assistant, but the latter did most of the work.

麦克拉伦被正式称为该出版物的编辑，彭特洛是他的助手，但后者承担了大部分工作。

Pentelow was already struggling to keep the magazine going, but matters worsened after MacLaren joined.

彭特洛已经在努力维持杂志的运转，但麦克拉伦加入后情况变得更糟。

Pentelow's debts increased and by the end of 1914, the business folded; although details are obscure, Down suggests that "MacLaren's characteristic unreliability with money left Pentelow very much in the lurch."

彭特洛的债务增加，到 1914 年底，公司倒闭了。虽然细节尚不清楚，但唐表示，“麦克拉伦在金钱方面的不可靠特征让彭特洛陷入了困境。”

During the First World War, MacLaren joined the Royal Army Service Corps as a lieutenant and worked in the Manchester area recruiting men into the army.

第一次世界大战期间，麦克拉伦以中尉身份加入皇家陆军服务队，并在曼彻斯特地区招募士兵入伍。

He was promoted to captain before leaving the Army on health grounds.

在因健康原因离开陆军之前，他被晋升为上尉。

After the war, he was employed as cricket manager for Lionel Robinson and wrote for various newspapers and cricket publications.

战后，他受聘为莱昂内尔·罗宾逊 (Lionel Robinson) 的板球经理，并为各种报纸和板球出版物撰稿。

MacLaren and his family lived for a time on Robinson's estate when their financial situation was poor.

当麦克拉伦和他的家人经济状况不佳时，他们曾在罗宾逊的庄园里生活过一段时间。

He advised Robinson on the best way to prepare cricket pitches and to organise matches which might bring about Robinson's greater acceptance in society.

他为罗宾逊提供了准备板球场和组织比赛的最佳方式的建议，这可能会让罗宾逊在社会上得到更大的认可。

As part of this process, MacLaren arranged for the 1921 Australian touring team to play at Robinson's cricket ground against a team selected and captained by MacLaren himself.

作为这一过程的一部分，麦克拉伦安排 1921 年澳大利亚巡回赛队在罗宾逊板球场与麦克拉伦本人选定并担任队长的球队进行比赛。

The Australians struggled against MacLaren's team, but went on to dominate the Test matches against England; MacLaren insisted throughout the summer that the Australian team was not as strong as it appeared, and that younger English players should be chosen.

澳大利亚队在与麦克拉伦队的比赛中表现不佳，但在对阵英格兰队的测试赛中却占据了主导地位。麦克拉伦整个夏天都坚持认为澳大利亚队并不像看上去那么强大，应该选择更年轻的英国球员。

Eastbourne Cricket Club invited him to captain a team named "An England XI" against the tourists following the conclusion of the Tests.

测试结束后，伊斯特本板球俱乐部邀请他担任一支名为“英格兰十一人”的球队队长，对抗游客。

He was dismissed by critics when he claimed that he could beat the Australian team; prior to the game, the Australians were undefeated on the tour and had won 22 of their 36 games.

当他声称自己可以击败澳大利亚队时，他遭到了批评者的驳斥；本场比赛之前，澳大利亚队在巡回赛上保持不败，并在36场比赛中赢了22场。

MacLaren planned meticulously for the match; he chose an all-amateur team, selecting spin bowlers noted for their reliability and excellent fielders.

麦克拉伦为这场比赛精心策划；他选择了一支全业余球队，选择了以可靠性和优秀外野手着称的旋转投球手。

Although bowled out for 43 in their first innings, MacLaren's team came back strongly to win by 28 runs, the touring team's first defeat, although his batting contribution was slight.

尽管在第一局就以 43 分出局，但麦克拉伦的球队强势反击，以 28 分的优势获胜，这是巡回赛球队的首场失利，尽管他的击球贡献微乎其微。

Lancashire appointed MacLaren as coach for the 1922 season, to popular acclaim; he also captained the Lancashire second team.

兰开夏郡任命麦克拉伦为 1922 年赛季的教练，受到广泛好评；他还是兰开夏郡第二队的队长。

Even before he began work, his poor financial situation forced him to request two advances on his salary.

甚至在开始工作之前，他糟糕的经济状况就迫使他要求预支两笔工资。

As a coach, MacLaren was autocratic and demanding, but encouraged the players to think for themselves.

作为教练，麦克拉伦专制、要求很高，但鼓励球员独立思考。

He was unpopular with some players and clashed frequently with the Lancashire committee.

他不受一些球员的欢迎，并经常与兰开夏郡委员会发生冲突。

During the winter of 1922–23, the MCC organised two cricket tours—a Test playing tour to South Africa and a tour to Australia and New Zealand intended to give experience to young, promising cricketers.

1922-23 年冬季，MCC 组织了两次板球巡回赛：一次是前往南非的测试赛，另一次是前往澳大利亚和新西兰，旨在为年轻、有前途的板球运动员提供经验。

MacLaren was chosen to captain the latter team on account of his experience and his success with young cricketers during his win over the Australians in 1921.

麦克拉伦因其丰富的经验以及在 1921 年战胜澳大利亚队时在年轻板球运动员方面取得的成功而被选为后者队长。

He was given a good reception by the crowds when he played and press reports praised his tactical awareness.

他在比赛时受到了观众的热烈欢迎，媒体报道也称赞了他的战术意识。

The team was undefeated in matches in New Zealand.

球队在新西兰的比赛中保持不败。

Against the full New Zealand team, MacLaren scored 200 not out in 264 minutes in his final first-class innings; the effort placed a strain on his knee and he was unable to play again on the tour.

在对阵新西兰队的比赛中，麦克拉伦在最后一局的最后一局比赛中，在 264 分钟内拿下 200 分，未出局。这次努力使他的膝盖拉伤，他无法再次参加巡回赛。

He ended his first-class career with 22,236 runs at an average of 34.15.

他以 22,236 分、平均分 34.15 分结束了自己的一流职业生涯。

When the team returned to play more matches in Australia, MacLaren became involved in controversy for criticising the standards of play in New Zealand and for comments made in the press there.

当球队返回澳大利亚参加更多比赛时，麦克拉伦因批评新西兰的比赛标准以及当地媒体的评论而卷入争议。

He also queried the first-class status of Bill Ponsford's record innings of 429, scored against Tasmania.

他还质疑比尔·庞斯福德（Bill Ponsford）在对阵塔斯马尼亚队的比赛中打出的 429 局记录的一流地位。

On the journey home, MacLaren sent a message to Lancashire asking for more money; the committee declined to send the sum and shortly afterwards terminated his contract as coach.

在回家的路上，麦克拉伦向兰开夏郡发了一条信息，要求更多的钱；委员会拒绝支付这笔款项，并不久后终止了他作为教练的合同。

Lancashire told the press that MacLaren's knee injury meant that he could not continue.

兰开夏郡告诉媒体，麦克拉伦的膝盖受伤意味着他无法继续比赛。

In the following years, MacLaren and his family struggled financially.

在接下来的几年里，麦克拉伦和他的家人陷入了经济困境。

His wife's family sometimes sent money, but MacLaren often spent extravagantly whenever he had funds.

妻子的家人有时会寄钱来，但麦克拉伦一有钱就常常挥霍无度。

On one occasion, when paid for writing an article, he moved out of his accommodation into an expensive hotel, and threw a dinner party for his friends.

有一次，当他支付写一篇文章的费用时，他从住处搬进了一家昂贵的酒店，并为朋友们举办了一场晚宴。

He ran up many debts—including an unpaid champagne bill at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in 1923—and borrowed money from friends.

他欠下了很多债务——包括 1923 年在老特拉福德板球场未付的香槟账单——并向朋友借了钱。

He supplemented his wife's income through working as a journalist and a coach.

他通过当记者和教练来贴补妻子的收入。

Among other business ventures, he designed a cricket bat, showed specially shot cricket films, briefly owned a hotel and attempted to start a horse bloodstock agency.

在其他商业投资中，他设计了板球棒，放映专门拍摄的板球电影，短暂拥有一家酒店，并试图创办一家纯种马机构。

He continued to play club cricket and in 1924–25 he managed a privately organised tour of South Africa.

MacLaren's obituary in The Times stated that he was "one of the outstanding opening batsmen of all time".

《泰晤士报》在麦克拉伦的讣告中称他是“有史以来最杰出的开局击球手之一”。

As a batsman, he had a reputation for stylishness, but his technique was based on scoring runs safely.

作为一名击球手，他以时尚着称，但他的技术是建立在安全得分的基础上的。

He always tried to seize the initiative in a game.

他总是试图在比赛中占据主动。

Batting with his head slightly raised, he drew his bat back unusually far, which provided the power to his shots, and in particular his drives.

击球时，他微微抬起头，将球棒向后拉得异常远，这为他的击球，特别是他的击球提供了动力。

He scored runs quickly, mainly through his ability to score from good length balls.

他跑动速度很快，主要是通过长传球得分的能力。

When playing a shot, he either stepped right forward or moved far back in the batting crease and having hit the ball, he followed through with the bat, often holding his pose for effect.

击球时，他要么向右向前迈出一步，要么在击球区向后移动很远，击球后，他会继续击球，通常会保持姿势以达到效果。

These qualities, and his quick footwork, made him effective on difficult batting pitches.

这些品质，加上他快速的脚步，使他在困难的击球场上表现出色。

One of his most highly regarded shots was the hook.

他最受推崇的投篮之一是勾手。

In later years, Cardus described the shot: "To see MacLaren hook a fast ball ...

在后来的几年里，卡杜斯描述了这次击球：“看到麦克拉伦勾出一个快球......

from the front of his face, was in those days an experience which thrilled me like heroic poetry; he didn't merely hook the ball, he dismissed it from his presence." Cardus, for whom MacLaren was a boyhood hero, wrote prolifically about him in later years; he called one such essay on MacLaren "The Noblest Roman", and judged him among the best of all batsmen.

在那些日子里，从他的脸上看到的，是一种像英雄诗歌一样让我激动不已的经历。麦克拉伦是卡杜斯童年时代的英雄，卡杜斯在后来的几年里写了大量关于他的文章；他称其中一篇关于麦克拉伦的文章为“最高贵的罗马人”，并认为他是所有击球手中最好的。

Gideon Haigh suggests: "If ever a cricketer was the creation of a single writer, it is MacLaren, the luminous majesty with which he is associated owed in very large degree to his youthful acolyte Neville Cardus." MacLaren was also a highly proficient fielder, initially in the outfield but later at slip.

吉迪恩·海格（Gideon Haigh）表示：“如果说板球运动员是由一个作家创造出来的，那么这个人就是麦克拉伦，他的光辉威严在很大程度上要归功于他年轻的助手内维尔·卡杜斯（Neville Cardus）。”麦克拉伦也是一名非常熟练的外野手，最初是在外野，但后来下滑了。

Critics have looked less favourably on MacLaren as a captain.

批评者对麦克拉伦作为队长的看法不太好。

When he assumed the leadership of England, the press were reporting on the tactical performance of captains for the first time.

当他担任英格兰队队长时，媒体首次报道了队长们的战术表现。

MacLaren was among the first captains to study tactics.

麦克拉伦是最早研究战术的队长之一。

However, judgements on his effectiveness have varied greatly.

然而，人们对他的有效性的判断却存在很大差异。

For most of his career, he was regarded as an excellent captain.

在他职业生涯的大部分时间里，他都被视为一名优秀的队长。

Contemporaries praised his tactical awareness; he planned minutely, and organised his fields extremely carefully to prevent batsmen scoring through blocking their favourite shots, a technique practically unheard of at the time.

同时代人称赞他的战术意识；他精心计划，极其仔细地组织场地，以防止击球手通过阻挡他们最喜欢的投篮来得分，这种技术在当时几乎闻所未闻。

He liked to alter the batting order, a tactic which often divides critics, although it frequently succeeded for MacLaren.

他喜欢改变击球顺序，这种策略经常引起批评者的分歧，尽管麦克拉伦经常成功。

He was less successful in managing his team.

他在管理团队方面不太成功。

Regarded as a pessimist, he openly showed disappointment at the composition of his sides, and became downcast when the course of the match was running against him.

作为一个悲观主义者，他公开地对球队的阵容表现出失望，当比赛的进程对他不利时，他变得沮丧。

Some of those who played under him thought that his sides were unhappy ones which operated without joy and solely concentrated on winning.

一些在他麾下踢球的人认为他的球队不快乐，没有欢乐，只专注于胜利。

He encountered many difficulties over selection; he often promoted cricketers whom he considered to show potential and consequently railed against committees which did not provide him with the players he wanted.

他在选拔过程中遇到了很多困难；他经常提拔那些他认为有潜力的板球运动员，因此抱怨委员会没有为他提供他想要的球员。

Down suggests that MacLaren was usually correct, being more experienced and a better judge than most of those who chose the teams.

唐认为麦克拉伦通常是正确的，他比大多数选择球队的人更有经验，也更有判断力。

Peter Wynne-Thomas describes MacLaren's approach to selection as "unorthodox", and writes that while his ideas were sometimes successful, they failed badly at other times.

彼得·韦恩-托马斯将麦克拉伦的选拔方法描述为“非正统”，并写道，虽然他的想法有时很成功，但有时却严重失败。

Apart from his own failings, MacLaren had a reputation as an unlucky captain, both in terms of losing important players to injury and illness before vital games, and in the frequency with which he lost the toss before a match.

除了他自己的失败之外，麦克拉伦还被认为是一位不幸的队长，无论是在重要比赛前因伤病而失去重要球员，还是在比赛前丢球的频率上。

Nor was MacLaren particularly popular; in later years, several people for whom he had been a hero changed their opinion once they met him.

麦克拉伦也不是特别受欢迎。在后来的几年里，有几个把他视为英雄的人在见到他后改变了看法。

In his history of the club, Peter Wynne-Thomas describes MacLaren as the dominant figure in Lancashire cricket from his debut until the First World War.

彼得·韦恩-托马斯在他的俱乐部历史中将麦克拉伦描述为兰开夏郡板球运动的主导人物，从他的首次亮相到第一次世界大战。

Gibson accepts that MacLaren was tactically a good captain, but observes that in his 12 seasons as leader of a strong Lancashire team, he only once won the County Championship.

吉布森承认麦克拉伦在战术上是一位优秀的队长，但他指出，在他作为一支强大的兰开夏郡球队领袖的 12 个赛季中，他只赢得过一次县冠军。

In addition, as the appointed captain in four series against Australia, he was beaten in each one, something no other England captain has repeated.

此外，作为队长，他在四场对阵澳大利亚的系列赛中都被击败，这是其他英格兰队长从未重复过的。

Gibson suggests that "the excuses begin to run thin, sieved through such a tale of failure." Gibson summarises that "England under MacLaren must have been a good side to watch, save for the passionate partisans, but an uncomfortable side in which to play ...

吉布森表示，“通过这样一个失败的故事，借口开始变得越来越少。”吉布森总结道：“麦克拉伦领导下的英格兰肯定是一支值得观看的球队，除了热情的游击队员，但在比赛中却是一支令人不舒服的球队......

Bad captain or no, with no doubt ...

队长是否不好，毫无疑问......

MacLaren was one of the most entrancing, one of the most glamorous—though that word had not come into fashion in his day—characters of his cricketing epoch."

麦克拉伦是他那个板球时代最迷人、最迷人的人物之一——尽管这个词在他那个时代还没有流行起来。”
