Consider the way she described her loss to Kim Clijsters at the Australian Open—the loss that drove the final nail into the coffin of any hope she had of retaining the top ranking, as well as getting the Grand Slam monkey off her back. That is, if down deep she even had such hopes at all—no sure thing, that. Of course, you can't blame her for the kinds of questions she is asked, but her responses are startlingly anodyne. 想问上色的那句应该怎麽翻译? 是翻成不应该用那些问题(她被问到的)来责备她吗? ==================== I just need to keep improving on my serve and my returns and just trying to play the sport and trying to always improve like during the next game or the first shot. Just need to up your game. 这段她用了很多just need,代表的是"只要...就可以"的意思吗? ==================== Her thoughts also reflect what is by now looking like an almost pathological desire to deflect and deny the existence of anything like pressure, which is just another word for responsibility—you know, that feeling that drives Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal to play a five-and-a-half-hour Australian Open final, the urgency that Justine Henin felt at the French Open and—irony alert!—that Clijsters so often shied away from, much like Wozniacki does. 这边有两个问题,第一个是irony alert是什麽意思??第二个是最後那一句话的意思是 说前面所提到那些人的状况才是Wozniacki应该做的吗? ==================== And you have to want to pluck your eyes out when you fail to use it to lift your game to the appropriate height. Couldn't Wozniacki sound at least a little bit angry with herself, with Clijsters, or with the alignment of the stars that day? Maybe there is no hurt. Perhaps inside the body of this quarter horse is a plow horse, dying to get out. 一样是两个问题,第一个是pluck your eyes out的涵义是什麽?我只有查到圣经的内容XDD 第二个是最後一段,在赛马体内是犁牛,是指"本性是属於温吞"的意思吗? ==================== 问题有点多,不过还是恳请各方高手们解惑,谢谢各位!! --
