在网上看到有球迷翻译了文章，分享给大家。 文章中充满着对Roger的赞美，我个人是非常同意XDD 在Roger这样辉煌的网球生涯中，身为他的球迷是多麽幸福啊!!! 英文原文出处http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-01-25/tim-callanan-blog/4484966 球迷翻译网志(有配图)http://kan.weibo.com/con/3571637660762379 === 今天在网上无意中翻到一篇今年一月在澳洲abc.net上的文章，看来是澳网费德勒刚连续 第10年打入澳网半决赛时发的。觉得写得很好，碰巧今天也有一点时间就翻译了。我的读 後感~奶粉看了会觉得“於我心有戚戚焉”，不喜欢费德勒的看了还是会不喜欢他。之所 以这麽说是因为文章源自其作者某天听到一个不喜欢费德勒的人说的一些话~ How will tennis cope when Roger goes? 当Roger离开後 网球将如何? I heard a woman call in to a talkback radio show the other day. 这天我听到一个女人打电话到一个电台节目。 Beryl from Gladstone Park, or something like that. 这个人叫Beryl，好像是来自一个叫什麽Gladstone Park的地方。 Something was annoying her and she was going to nip it in the bud. Right there and then. There'd be no more discussion. 感觉好像有什麽东西让她烦着然後她必须要立刻发泄出来的样子。不是要来讨论问题的 架势。 "I'm tired of everyone going on about how amazing Roger Federer is." “我对每个人不停赞罗杰费德勒有多麽的优秀感到厌烦。” There was a pause, before the presenter replied... "Well, he is." 片刻的停顿後，主持人回答说“他是（很优秀）。” But Beryl wasn't finished. 但是这个 Beryl还没发表完意见。 （她继续说） "He is adored beyond reason and idolised to the detriment of other players." ”他被人超乎常理地喜欢和崇拜着，这对其他球员不公平。“ It was safe to say she wasn't a Fed fan and will be quite happy when he eventually retires. 很明显她不是一个费德勒的粉丝，而当费德勒退役时她一定会相当快乐。 It may bring Beryl some comfort to think that day will come some time in the next four or five years. 也许想到再过4/5年的光景他就会退役了，Beryl会感觉略为安慰。 I hope it does bring Beryl some comfort, because it certainly doesn't bring any comfort to me, or to any of the hundreds of millions of people worldwide who truly love the sport. 我希望这个想法确实能给Beryl带来一些安慰，因为这确实无法给我任何的快慰，对世界 各地成百万千万的热爱体育的人们也同样不会有任何快慰。 That day will be a black day. （费德勒退役的）那天将会是一个黑色的日子。 Even if you don't like Federer, if you care about the sport, that day should fill you with dread. 就算你不喜欢费德勒，如果你在乎体育，那一天将会令你感觉害怕。 The day Federer retires, the sport will lose its biggest gem. 当费德勒退役的那天，体育界将会失去其中最大的一个宝石。 Tennis will still be popular, but not as popular. 网球将还会受欢迎，但不会再那麽受欢迎。 Wimbledon will still be huge, but not as huge. 温布敦还是很特别，但不会再那麽特别。 The loss of Roger Federer will leave a gaping hole in the sport. 失去费德勒，体育界将会有一个断裂的空洞。 For a start, tennis will lose the biggest statistical freak it's ever seen. 首先，网球将会失去一个空前的最最大的纪录“狂”。 Roger Federer's record in the sport is on a par with Don Bradman's batting average, if not better. 罗杰费德勒在体育史上的纪录是和Don Bradman平均的击球成绩是同一层次的，如果不说 是更好的话。 （Don Bradman布莱德曼是澳洲着名的板球传奇人物，已故，他是一位被世 界公认为历史上最伟大的板球手。布莱德曼的生涯击球场成绩平均是99.94，这数据被称 之为在各大体育赛事中最伟大的成就。） The most Grand Slam singles titles of any male, most finals, most semi-finals, most weeks at number one...those feats are incredible in themselves, but there are others that beggar belief. 他是男子网球选手中拥有最多单打大满贯冠军的，最多场决赛次数的，最多场半决赛次数 的，最多位居世界第一的周数的。 。 。这些纪录本身已经很伟大，但还有更多的纪录是 令人咋舌的。 After beating Jo Wilfried Tsonga in their quarter-final, Federer has now reached ten consecutive semi-finals at the Australian Open. 在（2013澳网）1/4决赛打败松加之後，费德勒已经连续第10年打入澳网的半决赛。 Ten years in a row he's reached the last four. 连续10年他都打入4强。 His match against Tsonga was his 35th consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final. 而他对松加的这场是他第35次连续打入大满贯的8强。 Only five other men have even played the last 35 Grand Slams. 其实另外仅有5个男球员全部打完了过去的35个大满贯赛事。 Rafa hasn't, Novak hasn't, Andy hasn't. 拉法还没有。诺瓦克还没有。安迪还没有。 None of the players who have has won a single one. 而那全部打完过去的35个大满贯赛事的5个其他球员根本连一个大满贯都没有赢过。 That's eight years, almost nine years of making the last eight at every Grand Slam. 那是8年，几乎9年的时间在每一个大满贯里都打到8强阶段。 No injuries, no illness, no early round upsets. 没有伤，没有病，没有在早轮比赛被爆出局。 That's freakish. 那是相当奇异的。 As big a hole as he'll leave statistically, it's the one he'll leave aesthetically that I'm more worried about. 比起（他退役後）给纪录方面留下的大空洞而言，他在审美角度方面留下的断层是我更为 忧虑的。 No-one in the history of the sport has made the game look as pretty as Federer does. 在体育史上从未有人像费德勒一样；令网球看起来如此美好。 These days, the courts, the balls, everything has been slowed down. 现今，球场也罢，球也罢，所有的东西都被弄慢下来了。 The modern game is all about power, movement and endurance. 现代网球变成了力量，移动和耐力的较量。 Federer shows there's still a place for elegance, shot-making, volleying. 费德勒让大家看到网球还能有优雅，击球策略，和上网。 When he goes, there'll be one fewer single-handed backhand - the most beautiful of all shots. 当他离开，网球会少一个单反- 所有击球动作中最美丽的一个。 Fewer rallies ended by an exquisite backhand drop volley. 当他离开，能由一个精致的反手吊球来结束的连续对拉将会变得少了。 Plenty of players move as quickly as Federer, quicker even, but none move as beautifully. 有很多球员能像费德勒移动那麽快，甚至比他还要快，但是没有人能和他一样移动得如此 优美。 The head barely moves, the feet dance. 他的头几乎不动。他的双脚在舞蹈。 Give Zinedine Zidane a racquet, or Mikhail Baryshnikov, and you have Roger Federer. 给齐内丁·齐达内（法国着名足球球王），或者米哈伊·巴雷什尼科夫（俄罗斯籍被公认 为20世纪最出色的芭蕾舞艺术家之一）一个网球拍，你就得到了罗杰费德勒。 Tennis is becoming paint by numbers. Federer is Monet. 网球是由数字而描画出来的作品。费德勒就是莫纳（法国画家，印象派代表人物和创始人 之一。） Expressive, unexpected, inspired. Classical and avant garde at the same time. 充满表现力，出人意料，令人振奋。集古典和创新的前卫於一体。 And nothing sells tennis better than Federer. 还有就是，没有什麽比费德勒更能“推销”网球。 He is the ultimate in marketability. 他在网球推广中起了决定性的的作用。 Rafa's popular, but not in the same ballpark as Federer. 拉法也很受欢迎，但他没有受欢迎到费德勒那个程度。 The Swiss helps tennis compete for air time and column inches with the likes of Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, David Beckham, Michael Schumacher and Lance Armstrong.....oh wait, scrap that last one. 这个瑞士人帮助网球争夺电视播出时段和报纸出版的版面，他的竞争对手是（其他体育类 别的比如）乔丹（篮球），伍兹（高尔夫），贝克汉姆（足球），舒马赫（赛车）以及阿 姆斯壮（自行车）。 。 。哦，等一下，把最後一个名字划掉。 During a press conference the other day, Roger Federer was asked what he would've been if he hadn't been a tennis player. 那天在一个新闻发布会中，费德勒被问到如果他没有成为一个网球员他会在做什麽。 He said he'd probably have been a fairly average soccer player. 他回答说他也许会是一个非常普通的足球运动员。 How happy would that have made Beryl? How much poorer would that have made the world of sport? 如果真是那样的话，那个叫Beryl的人会有多高兴呢？如果真是那样的话，体育世界该会 有多麽可怜呢？ --
