中譯來了~~

: Rk Team Comments
: 1 老虎 The archetype of a good team name. Something exotic that can
: rip your face off.

好隊名的代表，一種能撕爛你臉的異國動物。

:
: 2 海盜 A name that suggests swashbuckling adventure, so it could lead
: to a false-advertising suit, but it still works as a good name.
:

一個暗示五湖七海水上大冒險的隊名，所以可能引發廣告不實官司，
不過仍不失為一個好隊名。

: 3 巨人 Works on a literal and figurative level. Classic. I'm not biased
: at all.

不管是字面或象徵意義上都合乎道理。經典隊名。我可是完全沒偏見的。
:
: 4 水手 Geographically appropriate, and makes me think of tridents, which
: makes me think of Ruprecht in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."

地理上很合理，而且不禁令我想起三叉戟，而且也讓我想起電影
"騙徒糗事多"裡Ruprecht這個角色。
:
: 5 游騎兵 Texas Rangers were pretty respected and feared by the bad guys,
: and the name makes me think of those hilarious Chuck Norris jokes.
: What ever happened to those? Bring 'em back, I say!

德州遊騎兵蠻受人尊敬，而且令壞蛋怕怕，而且這個隊名會讓我想起那些
有關硬漢演員Chuck Norris的爆笑笑話。它們跑到哪裡去了?應該把它們
找回來才對!

:
: 6 藍鳥 It's a good team name because it might distract the opponent by
: making them think about how annoying blue jays are.

這是個好隊名，因為它可能會讓對手以為藍鳥有多惹人厭而分心。
:
: 7 釀酒人 Beer.

啤酒。

:
: 8 響尾蛇 Snakes are underrepresented in the team-name landscape. There's
: no reason why that should be. They'll freak you out, and then
: they'll kill you. The prejudice is probably because of a lingering
: anti-Cobra Kai sentiment left over from the '80s, but it's time
: to move on.

蛇在隊名界太少見了，根本沒理由要這樣。蛇會嚇死人，然後殺死你。這
種偏見大概是80年代反"小子難纏"的遺毒作祟，不過現在大家別再對此
耿耿於懷了。

:
: 9 洛磯 Straddles the line between "geographically appropriate" and
: "boring," but it's about as appropriate of a name as you can
: get for a team in Denver.

介於"地理正確"和"無聊乏味"之間的模糊地帶，不過丹佛市球隊取這樣的
隊名，是在合理不過的事了。

:
: 10 太空人 The Houston Astronauts would have been kind of boss, but this
: isn't a bad consolation prize. Reminds you of "The Jetsons,"
: which isn't the worst thing in the world.

休士頓太空人Houston Astronauts算是相當棒，不過這並不是爛安慰獎。
會讓人想起卡通"摩登家庭"，而這並非世界上最糟的事。

:
: 11 道奇 Used to be Trolley Dodgers, which was kind of cool in its
: uniqueness.The name hasn't fit, though, ever since Prop 33
: criminalized public transportation in Los Angeles, so they're
: the Utah Jazz of baseball.

曾被叫做"電車閃避者"，這樣與眾不同其實蠻酷的。不過這個隊名自從
33號提案將洛杉磯公共運輸犯罪化之後，它們就成了棒球界的宅爵了。

:
: 12 洋基 A pejorative term that's used with pride, hinting at a kind of
: arrogance that only winners can afford to display. Yeah, that's
: about right.

一個可以自豪使用的貶抑詞，暗示只屬贏家專利的某種自大感。沒錯，
這麼說大致正確。


:
: 13 紅雀 Completely boring birds. We're just lucky the ornithologists
: 金鶯 got there before the botanists, or we'd have to watch the
: St. Louis Hawthorns and the Baltimore Black-Eyed Susans.

乏味到不行的鳥兒。我們得慶幸鳥類學家比植物學家早想到隊名，
否則我們可能得看聖路易西洋山楂和巴爾的摩多毛金光菊的比賽。

:
: 14 馬林魚 They get bonus points for having the most delicious team name
: out there.

最美味的隊名會幫他們加分。

:
: 15 教士 Inoffensive and forgettable. So at least it fits.

不冒犯人而且過目就忘，至少隊名合適。

:
: 16 光芒 Moved up once they dropped one part of their old four-part name.
: There's ambiguity too, as you don't know if they're the kind of
: rays you can pet in an aquarium, or the kind that kill nature-show
: hosts.

隨著他們從四個字隊名幹掉一個字後，排名就曾上升過一次。它還有某種
模糊地帶，因為你永遠搞不清楚牠是能在水族館裡摸到的魟魚，還是那種會
殺死野生動物節目主持人的魟魚。


:
: 17 雙城 The most boring name in the majors.

全大聯盟最無趣的隊名。

:
: 18 國民 I stand corrected. At least when you think of "Twins" there's a
: chance you can get the song "Frankenstein" stuck in your head.

大家可以糾正我。當你想到"雙城"時，你至少還有忘不了"Frankenstein"
這首歌的機會。

:
: 19 大都會 Alright, fine. This is the most boring team name in baseball.
: Nay, the most boring team name in sports. Short for "Metropolitans"
: -- isn't that a gas? If Chuck Norris roundhouse-kicked this team
: name, it would still be boring. Man, I miss those Chuck Norris
: jokes! And remember when Kanye West took the stage? That was
: hilarious too.

好啦，沒錯。這是棒壇最無趣的隊名，不，是全體壇最無趣的名字。它
是"Metropolitans"的簡稱，令人昏昏欲睡不是嗎?就算Chuck Norris給這個
隊名一記迴旋踢的話，它還是很無趣。天啊，我真懷念那些Chuck Norris
的笑話!而且還記得饒舌歌手肯伊威斯特登台的事嗎?那也很爆笑啊。

:
: 20 皇家 Because when you want to strike fear in the hearts of your
: competitive rivals, you want them to think of inbreeding and
: hemophiliacs.

就因為你想讓競爭對手害怕，所以才要讓他們想到近親繁殖與血友病
患者。

:
: 21 小熊 Squeeeee! Baby bears!

抱抱!寶貝熊!


:
: 22 費城人 The San Francisco Frannies. The Atlanta Atties. The Boston Bosties.
: Do it for any city, and it sounds stupid, but because you're used
: to this one, it's somehow okay? Open your eyes, sheeple.

舊金山三藩人、亞特蘭大亞特蘭大人、波士頓波士頓人，將這樣隊名套在
任何城市上，聽起來就是很蠢，不過既然大家已經對此習以為常，所這還
說得過去?睜開雙眼吧，呆子。


:
: 23 印地安 The people who came up with these might have had the best of
: 勇士 intentions...but, yeah. They don't hold up well. There's nothing
: to write here that wouldn't turn this into a political discussion,
: but, hey, isn't "Angels" a stupid name for a team?

想這些隊名的人可能完全是出於好意...可是，沒錯，這些隊名蠻虛的耶。
這裡不管怎麼掰，都會變成政治口水戰，不過，"天使"不是一個蠻蠢的
隊名嗎?


:
: 24 天使 The least fearsome team name in professional sports, and it isn't
: especially close. At least with the Cubs, you can picture a baby
: bear getting carried away and drawing blood.

職業運動最不恐怖的名字，而且沒有任何隊名可以相提並論。至少小熊
還能讓人想起一隻小熊被抱走，然後傷人的景象。


:
: 25 運動家 This isn't a team name, it's a snippet of an online dating
: profile. Might as well be the Oakland Handsomes or the Oakland
: Goals-Orienteds

這根本不是隊名，充其量只是一個網路交友檔案的一小部份。乾脆改名為
奧克蘭帥哥或奧克蘭有理想有抱負青年隊吧。


:
: 26 紅人 It's a color. More than one, judging by the pluralization.
: Okay. Even worse, it used to be "Red Stockings." Who names a team
: after socks?

這是個顏色，而且從複數型來看，是不只一種顏色。更糟的是，它以前是
"紅長襪"，誰會以襪子幫球隊命名呢?

:
: 27 紅襪 Seriously? What is this about? There had to have been some
: 白襪 turn-of-the-century cabal that, if they had their way, would
: have named every team after footwear. The Pittsburgh Hosiery.
: The Philadelphia Knee-Highs. Not acceptable in any capacity.
: When you root for one of these teams, you're rooting for the
: creepy fetish of a dead man.

不會吧?這是啥鬼?這一定是19世紀末、20世紀初某項陰謀搞的鬼，如果
成功的話，每一支球隊都會以襪子命名。匹茲堡絲襪、費城及膝襪，這
是完全無法接受的事。當你在為這類球隊加油時，你等於是在為死人的
陰森的戀物癖在加油。
