Speaking of great stories, we have a very exciting lineup of sports news for you this morning.
提到精彩的故事，今天早晨我们为您准备了一套非常精彩的体育新闻阵容。
That is right.
一点也没错。
Today, we are looking at some historic moments.
今天，我们将关注一些具有历史意义的时刻。
Let us start with a quick look at our top stories.
让我们先快速浏览一下今天的头条新闻。
First, the Los Angeles Queens have won the first -ever Women's Pro Baseball League Championship

周后成功重返洛杉矶道奇队。
We will also run through the streets of New York, where the famous NYC Marathon is changing its
我们还将穿过纽约街头，著名的纽约市马拉松赛事正在更改其
route for the first time in 15 years.
15年来首次更改路线。
And finally, we will visit Lambeau Field to see what is new for fans of the Green Bay Packers.
最后，我们将前往兰博球场，看看绿湾包装工队的球迷有什么新看点。
And we will explain the unique rules of golf's President's Cup.
我们还将解释高尔夫总统杯独特的规则。
Let us jump into our very first story.
让我们切入我们的第一条新闻。
History was made on the baseball field as the Los Angeles Queens won the inaugural WPBL Championship.
在洛杉矶女王队赢得首届 WPBL 锦标赛冠军后，棒球场上创造了历史。
This is so exciting.
这真是太令人兴奋了。
WPBL stands for the Women's Pro Baseball League, right?
WPBL 代表女子职业棒球联赛，对吧？
It is a brand new league. Exactly.
这是一个全新的联赛。一点没错。
This was their first -ever season.
这是她们的首个赛季。
The Queens beat the San Francisco Firebells 2 -0.
女王队以2-0击败了旧金山火铃队。
The biggest star of the night was Japanese pitcher Ayami Sato.
当晚最耀眼的明星是日本投手佐藤彩美。
I heard she threw a shutout.
我听说她投出了一场完封。
But Thomas, for our English learners, can you explain what a shutout actually means?
不过托马斯，为了我们的英语学习者，你能解释一下“完封”究竟是什么意思吗？
Of course.
当然可以。
In baseball, a shutout is a game where one team prevents the other team from scoring any runs at all.
在棒球运动中，“完封”是指一支球队阻止另一支球队取得任何得分的比赛。
So the Firebell scored zero points because Sato's pitching was perfect.
所以火铃队得了零分，因为佐藤的投球完美无缺。
Ah, I see.
啊，我明白了。
So a shutout is like building a perfect wall.
所以完封就像是建造了一面完美的墙。
The other team just cannot get past it.
另一支球队根本无法穿透它。
That is incredibly difficult to do, especially in a championship game.
这要做得到难以置信地困难，特别是在总决赛中。
It is extremely difficult.
这极其困难。
It was actually the first shutout in the history of the league.
这实际上是该联赛历史上的首次完封。
Sato showed the world why she is considered one of the best female baseball players alive.
佐藤向世界展示了为什么她被认为是现役最优秀的女性棒球运动员之一。
It is wonderful to see women's baseball getting so much attention.
看到女子棒球受到如此多的关注真是太棒了。
I think this will inspire many young girls to pick up a glove and play baseball, not just softball.
我想这会鼓舞许多年轻女孩戴上手套去打棒球，而不仅仅是垒球。
I agree completely.
我完全赞同。
It is a great moment for sports.
这是体育界的一个伟大时刻。
Now, let us stay with baseball, but move to Major League Baseball.
现在，让我们继续关注棒球，不过转向美国职业棒球大联盟。
There is good news for Dodgers fans.
对道奇 队的球迷来说有一个好消息。
Let me guess.
让我猜猜看。
Is it about Shohei Otani? Yes.
这关于大谷翔平吗？是的。
The superstar has finally returned to the Dodgers lineup.
这位超级巨星终于回归了道奇队的阵容。
He was on the injured list for two weeks.
他在伤病名单上呆了两个星期。
The injured list, or the IL.
伤病名单，即 IL。
Let us pause there.
让我们在这里暂停一下。
What is the injured list?
什么是伤病名单？
The injured list is a formal list that teams use when a player gets hurt.
伤病名单是球员受伤时球队使用的正式的名单。
When a player is on this list, they cannot play in official games.
当球员在这个名单上时，他们不能参加正式的比赛。
This gives them time to recover, and it allows the team to bring in another healthy player to take
这给他们时间去康复，也允许球队引入另一位健康的球员来承接
their place.
他们的位置。
That makes sense.
那很有道理。
It is like a sick leave for professional athletes.
这就像是职业运动员的病假。
And now, Otani is healthy and back. Yes.
现在，大谷翔平身体健康并且归队了。是的。
And he did not waste any time.
而且他没有浪费任何时间。
In his very first turn to hit, he got a hit.
在他第一轮上场击球时，他就打出了一记安打。
The Dodgers are getting ready for the postseason, so having him back is huge.
道奇队正在为季后赛做准备，所以他的回归至关重要。
But I read that because Otani returned, a young player named Jose DePaula had to go back to the
但我看到报道说，因为大谷翔平归队，一位名叫何塞·德保拉的年轻球员不得不回到
minor leagues.
小联盟。
That sounds a bit sad.
那听起来有点伤感。
It is a tough business, Emily.
这是一个残酷的行业，艾米莉。
When a superstar comes back, someone has to make room.
当一位超级巨星归队时，必须有人腾出位置。
But experts say DePaula played very well, and he might be back for the playoffs later this year.
但专家表示德保拉表现非常好，他可能会在今年晚些时候的季后赛中回归。
That is good to hear.
听起来真好。
It is all about teamwork and timing.
这完全取决于团队合作和时机。
Now, let us move from the baseball field to the streets of New York.
现在，让我们把视线从棒球场转向纽约的街道。
The famous New York City Marathon is making a major change. Oh?
著名的纽约市马拉松赛事正在做出重大改变。哦？
The NYC Marathon is one of the biggest running events in the world.
纽约马拉松是全球最大的跑步赛事之一。
What are they changing?
他们要改变什么？
For the first time in 15 years, they are changing the route of the race.
15年来第一次，他们正在改变比赛的路线。
Specifically, they are changing the section that goes through the Bronx.
具体来说，他们正在改变穿过布朗克斯区的那一段路线。
15 years is a long time to keep the same path.
保持相同的路线15年可是一段漫长的时间。
Why change it now?
为什么现在要改变它？
The organizers want to make the race safer and more enjoyable.
比赛组织者希望让比赛更安全、更有乐趣。
The new route will use wider streets.
新路线将使用更宽的街道。
This means runners will have more space and fans will have better spots to stand and cheer.
这意味着跑者将有更大的空间，而粉丝们也将有更好的位置站立和加油。
That sounds like a great improvement.
这听起来是个很大的改进。
A marathon is so long, and runners need all the support they can get.
马拉松太漫长了，跑者需要尽他们所能获得的所有支持。
How long is the race, by the way?
顺便问一下，比赛有多长？
It is 26 .2 miles, or about 42 kilometers.
它是 26.2 英里，约合 42 公里。
The distance does not change, just the roads they use in that one area.
距离并没有改变，改变的只是他们在那个区域使用的道路。
42 kilometers.
42 公里。
I feel tired just thinking about it.
光是想想我就感到疲惫了。
You know, runners often talk about hitting the wall around mile 20.
你知道的，跑者常说在第20英里左右会遇到极限。
Is the Bronx section near the end? Yes.
布朗克斯路段是在临近终点的地方吗？是的。
The Bronx is usually around miles 20 and 21.
布朗克斯路段通常在第 20 和 21 英里左右。
So having wider streets and more cheering fans there will help runners push through that very
因此，那里更宽的街道和更多欢呼的粉丝将有助于跑者挺过那段极其
difficult part of the race.
比赛中艰难的部分。
That is smart.
那很明智。
A little extra encouragement when your legs feel like lead can make a huge difference.
当你的双腿感觉像灌了铅一样时，一点额外的鼓励就能带来巨大的不同。
Local businesses in the Bronx must be happy, too.
布朗克斯当地的商家一定也很开心。
They are thrilled.
他们非常激动。
More space for fans means more customers for local cafes and shops.
为球迷提供更大空间意味着为当地咖啡馆和商店带来更多顾客。
It is a win for everyone.
这对每个人来说都是一种共赢。
From running to American football, what is happening with the Green Bay Packers, Thomas?
从跑步到美式橄榄球，绿湾包装工队最近发生了什么，托马斯？
Well, the Packers are preparing for their first home game of the season against the Atlanta Falcons
好吧，包装工队正在准备本赛季针对亚特兰大猎鹰队的首场主场比赛
at Lambeau Field.
在兰博球场。
But what has people talking is actually the stadium food.
但真正引发人们讨论的其实是体育场的美食。
Now you have my attention.
现在你引起了我的注意力。
I love stadium food.
我酷爱球场美食。
What is new on the menu?
菜单上有什么新品吗？
Lambeau Field has introduced several new items this year.
兰博球场今年推出了几款新食品。
They have giant deep fried cheese curds, special local sausages and new desserts.
他们有巨型炸凝乳芝士、特色本地香肠和新款甜品。
Deep fried cheese curds?
深度油炸的凝乳芝士？
That sounds delicious, but extremely heavy.
听起来很美味，但极其沉重腻人。
You definitely need to walk a few miles around the stadium to burn that off.
你绝对需要在体育场周围走上几英里才能消耗掉那些热量。
It is a Wisconsin tradition, Emily.
艾米莉，这是威斯康星州的传统。
People there love their cheese.
那里的人们非常喜欢芝士。
But on the field, the Packers can make home opener history if they win.
但在赛场上，如果包装工队获胜，他们就能创造主场揭幕战的历史。
However, both teams are dealing with some player injuries.
然而，两支球队目前都在应对一些球员伤病问题。
Yes, injuries are always a big story in football.
是的，伤病在橄榄球运动中向来是个重大话题。
The Falcons might have to play their young backup quarterback, Michael Penix Jr.
猎鹰队可能不得不启用他们年轻的替补四分卫小迈克尔·佩尼克斯。
That must be a lot of pressure for him.
这对他来说压力一定很大。
It is, especially in front of a loud Green Bay crowd.
确实如此，尤其是在声音喧嚣的绿湾人群面前。
But it is also a lifetime opportunity.
但这也是一次难得的终身机会。
That is what makes sports so dramatic. Absolutely.
这正是让体育运动如此充满戏剧性的原因。毫无疑问。
It is the classic story of a young player stepping up to become a hero.

Our final story today is about golf.
我们今天的最后一条新闻是关于高尔夫的。

它每两年举办一次。
A team of 12 players from the United States plays against an international team.

与美国队较量。确实如此。
And they play different match formats.
而且他们采用不同的比赛赛制。
Two of the common formats are called four -ball and foursomes.

These can be confusing for casual fans.
这些对于普通球迷来说可能会令人困惑。
Yes, please explain.

区别是什么？
In four -ball, two players from each team play together.
在四球赛中，每队的两名球员一起打球。
All four players play their own ball.

At the end of each hole, the team only counts the best score between the two partners.

Foursomes is different.
四人交替击球赛则有所不同。
Teammates share only one ball and take turns hitting it.
队友共用一颗球，并轮流击球。
Oh, foursome sounds much harder.
噢，四人交替击球赛听起来要更难。
If I hit the ball into the sand, my partner has to hit it out of the sand on the next turn.
如果我把球打进沙坑，我的搭档就必须在下一轮把它从沙坑里打出来。
Yes, that is why it is also called alternate shot.

You need to trust your partner completely.
你需要完全信任你的搭档。
It creates a lot of exciting team dynamics.

I love that.
