I am 30 years old. …Because I have a physical handicap, it took me five years to complete my associate's degree. …During the season I average 55 hours a week writing game reports, editorials, researching and listening and/ or watching games.
我今年30歲?！驗槲疑碛袣埣?，花了5年的時間才讀完大專拿到文憑。……在棒球賽季，我每個星期平均花55小時寫球賽報道，寫評論，做研究，聽比賽或者看比賽。
Sarah called her website Dodger Place. I searched, and found nothing. Then I reread her e-mail and discovered an address buried at the bottom: http://members.tripod.com / spunky / dodgers.
薩拉稱她的網站為道奇地。我搜索了一下，什么也沒有找著。后來我重讀她的電子郵件，發現在她的電子郵件最底下掛了一個地址：http://members.tripod.com / spunky / dodgers。
I clicked there. It wasn't fancy. But she covered the team with the seriousness of a writer. Still, I wondered, is anybody reading?
我點擊該地址。網站并不花哨。但是她以一個作家的嚴肅態度對該隊進行了詳細報道。不過，我還是不禁要問，有人讀嗎？
Nobody ever signs my guestbook. I get one letter a month. 從來沒有人在我的來賓登記簿上簽名。我一個月收到一封信。
So here was a physically handicapped woman, covering the Dodgers as extensively as any reporter in the country, yet writing for an obscure website with an impossible address, with a readership of about two.
所以，這里是一個身體殘疾的婦女，她對道奇隊的報道之廣泛不亞于美國任何一個記者，可她卻在為一個幾乎不為人知的網站寫作，網站的名字很怪很難記，讀者大概有兩個人。
That “deam” was missing a lot more than an r, I thought.
我想她那個夢所缺的遠遠不只是拼寫里頭少了一個字母r。
