8BV CRASHES BIKE READING PEDROIA TEXT - 美國職棒

http://t.co/t1dAucG1 http://0rz.tw/DoxyA

In the final days of one of the most painful seasons of his career, Red Sox
Manager Bobby Valentine on Tuesday lay entangled with his bicycle at the
bottom of a ditch next to the Central Park Reservoir.

紅襪糟糕的球季結束之際，8BV和他的腳踏車一起躺在中央公園水池旁溝渠的底下。

On the wet, slippery path, Valentine was reading a text on his phone from
Dustin Pedroia, the Red Sox second baseman, and riding his bicycle. When he
looked up, he had to swerve to avoid the umbrellas of two French tourists
walking in front of him. The bike skidded, and he lost his balance and went
careening head over pedals down the side of the hill by the road.

原來8BV是一邊在濕滑的路上騎腳踏車，一邊讀小派發來的簡訊。

8BV抬頭一看發現不得了，竟然有兩位法國人在前面─8BV馬上轉彎，結果腳踏車打滑
整個人失去平衡從路旁的小山坡衝下去。

“I shouldn’t have been reading a text while I was riding, ” he said. “That
’s the wrong thing to do. But at least I was wearing my helmet.”

「我不應該一邊騎車一邊讀簡訊─這是不對的事情。但還好我有戴安全帽。」

Valentine sustained minor injuries to his knees and hips. An avid cyclist,
Valentine rides his bicycle to Fenway Park most days and takes it on trips to
ride in the afternoons before heading to the ballpark.

8BV膝蓋和屁屁受輕傷。

事實上8BV是個狂熱的自行車手，常常騎著腳踏車前往芬威球場。

Pedroia had texted Valentine to tell him that he would play in Tuesday’s
game against the Yankees despite a broken left ring finger.

小派的簡訊是告訴8BV他要帶傷上場。

“Hey, if he can play with that, I can certainly manage with this,” he said,
showing the bandages on his legs.

「嘿，如果他這樣也能打球，那我也可以帶著這個傷執教。」

然後秀了他美腿上的繃帶。

--------

Valentine made light of the incident prior to Tuesday's game, when discussing
his surprise about Pedroia's decision to play.

8BV在賽前討論到小派要上場時公佈這個事件。

"Was I surprised when I got the text that he said he was fine?" Valentine
said. "I fell off my bike. Literally."

「我看到小派告訴我他沒問題時驚不驚訝？我驚訝到摔下腳踏車。」

「字面上的意思。」
