TORONTO - Chien-Ming Wang doesn’t speak much English. Mostly, he has let his
pitching talk for him.

王建民說的英文不多，大部分時間，他讓手中的球說話。

Wang has become front-page news again back in Taiwan.

王建民再度變成台灣報紙的頭條新聞。

A contingent of national media emerges to chronicle his every start and
cameras follow him everywhere.

一堆國際媒體蜂擁而至記錄他的每次先發，而攝影機到處跟著他。

But, all the Blue Jays and manager John Gibbons care about is that he has
helped solidify an injury-ravaged rotation.

但是，藍鳥隊和教練吉布森只在乎他加固了因傷所困的輪值。

“He shut down a good hitting team,” Gibbons said Saturday after Wang strung
together 61/3 innings, scattering four hits, to run his record to 2-0 since
joining Toronto on June 11. “I know he feels good, he’s a part of it now. He
’s given us a big boost, that’s for sure.”



Wang’s signing sent ripples of excitement through Taiwan.


王的簽約在台灣掀起了令人期待的浪潮。

In Toronto it raised a few eyebrows, but probably not a lot of hopes. While
he twice won 19 games with the Yankees in the 1990s, a foot injury had left
him with just seven wins since then in the majors. The Yankees signed him to
a minor league deal this year but, even with their own pitching issues,
decided to release him so he could sign in Toronto.



In three starts with Toronto he has been a revelation. He has now gone two
starts without allowing an earned run. When Baltimore got an unearned run in
the fifth it snapped Wang’s scoreless streak at 141/3 innings — the longest
by a Toronto starter all season.



“Happy,” said Wang of his resurrection.

「很高興。」王建民對他的復活這樣表示。

Last year, he had a 6.68 ERA in Washington. In Toronto he’s now 2-0, with an
ERA of 2.18 and the team hasn’t lost since he got here.

去年，他在華盛頓有著6.68個自責分率。在多倫多，他現在2勝0敗(譯案：這作者一直爽
到算錯他的勝場數)，還有2.18的自責分率，而隊伍在有了他之後從未輸過。

So why the sudden success?

那麼為什麼他能這麼快取得成功？

“Just don’t think too much,” he said, grinning. “Before every pitch I
want to be perfect.”

「就...沒有想太多。」他笑說。「每一球投出之前，我只想作到最好。」
