PURE SILK-BAHAMAS LPGA CLASSIC SHORTENED TO 54 HOLES Mother Nature became the story at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic afternoon as nearly a foot of rain fell on the Ocean Club Golf Course at Atlantis, Paradise Island between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Tuesday. 大自然成为这次Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic的主角，在礼拜二的3p.m.到11p.m.之间 球场当地下了将近1英尺的雨。(1英尺约等於30cm) In the wake of violent storms, significant amounts of standing water remai at least seven holes with the ninth and 18th fairways completely flooded. Crews began work overnight to remove the water and the efforts to clear debris and make the golf course playable are on-going. 在强烈暴风雨的侵袭下，至少七个球道有大量的水淤积，其中第9和18洞的球道更是完全被 淹没。工作人员努力了整夜尽量的设法去除球道的状况，使得球赛能够继续下去。 As a result of the last 24 hours, the inaugural Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic has been shortened to a 54-hole event beginning on Friday. First and second-round pairings will remain the same with a 36-hole cut made on Saturday night. 不过由於过去24小时的情形，球赛决定开始於礼拜五并且缩短为54-hole。 第一轮和第二轮的配对将不改变，第一次的cut将在周六(第二轮)。 “Mentally, you’re still in it although physically you can’t do anything today at the course,” said Suzann Pettersen. “I’m happy I got 18 hol practice in yesterday. We will play whenever we can.” Pettersen表示: 精神上我们仍在球场上，虽然我们今天无法下场。我很高兴我昨天仍然练习了18洞， 我们随时准备好开始比赛。 Many homes, cars and roadways in Nassau were flooded on Tuesday in what locals are calling the worst storm in the last 20 years. 当地称这次的暴风雨是20年来最糟糕的，许多家园、车子、道路都淹水 “You can’t feel guilty about not practicing or playing today because no one is allowed out there,” said Stacy Lewis. “I certainly wish for the tournament ’s sake that we could have played the pro-am. First-year events have some bumps and we always get through them. This is no different.” Stacy说: 对於今天无法下场练习，你不能加诸任何的罪名，因为大家什麽都不能做。 我很期盼在午夜过後比赛能够顺利进行。 第一年的比赛总是会有些状况，但我们总是能克服，跟其他比赛没有什麽不一样的。 There is a 60 percent chance for more rain showers on Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday. Tournament officials continue to monitor the weather and course conditions with safety for golfers and spectators as the first priority. 礼拜三中午至礼拜四还是有60%的机会将会落下大雨。官方将持续监控天气和球场状况并 且以球员和观众的安全为第一优先。 引自官网:http://ppt.cc/lCsq 第一次翻译，如果有不好的地方也请见谅XD --
