homicideは「殺人」（『ジーニアス英和辞典』(大修館)）を意味する語です。私はもともとmurderも知っていたのでその差が気になったため調べました。(OALD)
homicide: the crime of killing sb deliberately ( compare culpable homicide )
murder: the crime of killing sb deliberately
OALDには全く同じことが書いてあったため、また英和に戻ったところmurderの記述に「homicideは過失による殺人も含む」と書いてありました。つまり様々な「殺人」の中でも正当防衛や過失のような広い範囲で使えるものだと思います。（あまり使える世の中にはなって欲しくはないですが。）同じく、激情によって起こった「殺人」であるmanslaughterも載せておきます。(Minnesota)
manslaughter: the crime of killing sb illegally but not deliberately
Suzuki will simply walk over to the other side of the ballpark
Breaking Newsです。今見たニュースによると、cash considerationsは13億円だそうです。 今日の試合から、walk over to the other side of the ballparkするかもしれないという事です。アメリカならではですね。とにかく今日の試合が楽しみです。(EnDough)
Yankees acquire Ichiro for two prospects
The Mariners made it official Monday evening: Ichiro Suzuki is heading to the Yankees.
The Yankees will send right-handers DJ Mitchell and Danny Farquhar to Seattle in exchange for Suzuki, the Japanese superstar with 2,533 career Major League hits in 12 seasons with the Mariners. The deal also includes cash considerations.
The Yankees and Mariners will play Monday night at 10:10 p.m. ET at Safeco Field, so Suzuki will simply walk over to the other side of the ballpark and line up against the only American club for which he's ever played.
New York has been in need of outfield depth without injured left fielder Brett Gardner, who will undergo arthroscopic elbow surgery. The Yankees have primarily used veterans Raul Ibanez and Andruw Jones in left field this season.
Mitchell, 25, has spent most of the season with Triple-A Scranton. He is 6-4 with a 5.04 ERA in 15 games this season at Triple-A. He also made four appearances in the Majors this season, posting a 3.86 ERA.
Farquhar is also 25 years old. He has spent the 2012 season in the Minor League systems of three clubs, the Blue Jays, A's and Yankees. He has combined to go 2-3, with a 3.33 ERA and five saves in 32 games.

EnDoughくんの後追いです。イチロー選手もついに移籍することになりました。以下はNYT. com（2012/07/24付）の記事から抜粋。
SEATTLE — In their search for help in the outfield, the Yankees explored several modest options, before making a more splashy move on Monday, when they acquired the veteran outfielder Ichiro Suzuki.
The Yankees sent minor league pitchers D. J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar to the Mariners in exchange for Suzuki, whose five-year, $90 million contract expires after this season.
The Yankees designated outfielder Dewayne Wise to make room on the roster for Suzuki, a 10-time All-Star who became the first Japan-born position player when he went to Seattle before the 2001 season after nine years in Japan’s Pacific League. Suzuki’s success in the majors leagues helped paved the way for many other players, including the former Yankee Hideki Matsui.
“I am overcome with feelings when I think of the times I spent with the fans here,” an emotional Suzuki said through an interpreter.
Suzuki had asked the rebuilding Mariners about two weeks ago for a trade to a contending team. On Monday, they found that team.
“I am going from a team with the most losses to a team with the most wins,” Suzuki said, “so I am not able to contain my excitement in that regard.”
今回の表現はcontainです。containの第一義は「（容器などが）〈物を〉（中身の全体として）含む，持っている，入っている」ですが，今回のように否定語を伴って用いられると「（感情などを）抑える，自制する」などの意味を表します（『ジーニアス英和辞典』第4版，大修館書店）。つまり，containを含む英文は「（一番負けているチームから一番勝っているチームに移籍することに関して）私は興奮を抑えることができない。」などと言えます。弱小軍団から常勝軍団へと移籍することで，これまで以上に結果が求められます。野球ファンの私としては，イチロー選手の新天地での活躍をただただ願うばかりです。（GP）

deal v.
無事、松江に入りました。これから友人と、入院している別の友人のお見舞いにいきます（あ〜、ややっこしい）。
Ichiro移籍に反応して誰かがupしてくれているものと思っていました。見出しのdealが面白いですね。Webster onlineは "to engage in bargaining : trade" と定義しています。トランプ由来の言い回しですが、Yankeesにとってbig dealであることを期待します。（UG）
Yankees trade: Ichiro asked Mariners to deal him weeks ago
Mariners All-Star outfielder Ichiro was traded Monday to the Yankees for two minor-leaguers and cash considerations.
By Larry Stone
Seattle Times staff reporter
Mariners players were sitting around the clubhouse Monday afternoon when they heard jaw-dropping news on television: Ichiro, the franchise's icon since coming over from Japan in 2001, had been traded to the Yankees.
"I was shocked when I saw the TV. I think the whole clubhouse is — the whole baseball world," Mariners outfielder Michael Saunders said. "When you picture Ichi, you always picture him with No. 51 in a Mariner uniform."
But now he'll be wearing No. 31 for the Yankees. And by remarkable coincidence, the Yankees are in Seattle for a series at Safeco Field, and Ichiro wore a New York uniform for the first time Monday night in a start against his former team.
When he came to bat in the third inning, the crowd of 29,911 gave him an extended ovation. He stepped out of the batter's box, took off his helmet and bowed twice to the crowd. Ichiro then lined a single to center field, the 2,534th hit of his major-league career and the first when he wasn't wearing a Mariners uniform.
Earlier, his eyes glistening at a hastily called news conference, Ichiro began by thanking the fans and said, "When I think about the last 11 ½ years, about the time and feelings of the last 11 ½ years, and when I imagine taking off a Mariners uniform, I was overcome with sadness. It has made this a very difficult decision to make."
But he admitted the prospect of moving from the last-place Mariners to the first-place Yankees — and a chance for his first-ever World Series appearance — was enticing.
"I went from a team that's had the most losses to a team having the most wins, so it's been hard to maintain my excitement in that regard," he said through interpreter Ken Barron.
