棒球與足球季在台灣開始

TAIPEI — The baseball and soccer seasons got underway behind closed doors in
Taiwan at the weekend, providing rare live action for fans at home at a time
when the COVID-19 pandemic has shut down most professional sport around the
globe.

臺北——棒球和足球賽季於週末在臺灣閉門進行，爲國內的球迷提供了罕見的現場表演，
而此時正值COVID-19爆發的致命流感使全球大多數職業體育運動陷入癱瘓。

Taiwan has been comparatively successful in containing the spread of the
virus, reporting to date 388 cases and six deaths in a population of around
24 million.

臺灣在控制病毒傳播方面比較成功，迄今爲止報告了388例病例和6例死亡，臺灣人口約
2400萬。

Globally, more than 110,000 people have died from the virus.

全球已有11萬多人死於這種病毒。

The Chinese Professional Baseball League's much delayed start was pushed back
by a further 24 hours after rain swept across the island, forcing the
postponement of the traditional season-opener on Saturday.



It therefore fell to Cuban lefthander Ariel Miranda, formerly of the Seattle
Mariners, to throw the first pitch of the season for the Chinatrust Brothers
against the Uni-President Lions at Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium
on Sunday.

因此，週日在臺中洲際棒球場(Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium)，爲中信
金控兄弟(Chinatrust Brothers)和統一獅隊(Uni-President Lions)投出本賽季首戰
的球權落在了曾效力於西雅圖水手隊(Seattle Mariners)的古巴左投手阿里爾· 米蘭
達(Ariel Miranda)身上。

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen posted a picture on her Facebook page on Sunday
of her watching the baseball match at home, accompanied by one of her cats,
and calling on everyone else to join her and watch from home.

週日，臺灣總統蔡英文在她的臉書主頁上發佈了一張她在家看棒球比賽的照片，旁邊是她
的一隻貓，並呼籲所有人都加入她的行列，在家觀看比賽。

"What's more important is once the epidemic is over, we'll see each other at
the baseball pitch!" she wrote.

她寫道:“更重要的是，一旦疫情結束，我們就可以在棒球場上見面了!”

No fans were allowed in the 20,000-seater stadium to watch the Lions win 4-1,
with health concerns limiting attendees to a total of 200 players, coaches,
umpires, cheerleaders and journalists, local media reported.

據當地媒體報道，由於擔心健康問題，只有200名球員、教練、裁判員、拉拉隊隊員和記
者才能在這座有2萬個座位的體育場觀看獅隊4:1獲勝的比賽。

Rakuten Monkeys had placed cardboard cut-outs of fans replete with face masks
in the stands for the washed-out game on Saturday, while anyone entering the
baseball stadiums had their temperatures checked.

樂天桃猿(Rakuten Monkeys)將裝滿面具的紙板做成的球迷雕像放在看臺上，以觀看週六
的泡湯的比賽，所有進入棒球場的人都要接受體溫檢測。

The fourth season of the Taiwan Football Premier League also got underway on
Sunday with Tapei-based champions Tatung City FC 3-2 losing to their rivals
from the southern city of Kaohsiung, Taipower, on the opening day.

台灣企業甲級足球聯賽第四個賽季也於週日開始，在開幕當天，以台北爲主場的冠軍大同
城市隊以3-2輸給了來自南部城市高雄的對手，台電隊(Taipower)。

Tatung have won the championship in all three seasons of the Taiwan Football
Premier League, which runs from April to October, with Taipower runners-up
each year.



（已經沒有東西可以報了，連足甲都再報，要是疫情再不過去，要報金龍旗了，很多美國
體育記者現在都失業在家，沒寫稿沒收入）

澳洲比較能看到比賽，他是路透社亞洲體育運動的主任編輯。
