Kawasaki riders rue disappointing results K军的车手懊悔这个令人失望的结果 http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/67545 By Michele Lostia Sunday, May 18th 2008, 16:54 GMT The Kawasaki Racing team were left disappointed after a difficult French MotoGP race at Le Mans that saw them scoring a meagre two points. K军在困难法国大赛後,只拿到皮包骨似的两分很沮丧 American rider John Hopkins had to retire from seventh place when the chain on his Ninja ZX-RR broke, while Australian Anthony West struggled for grip and finished the race almost a lap down in 14th place. Hopkins在赛事进行到第七圈时,他的ZX-RR上的链条断了 而West挣扎的把握赛事,并以14名完赛,但他落後将近一圈 Hopkins, who was hoping to for a good results with the way the weekend was going, was also left calling his teams for engine improvements Hopkins希望在这周末有个好的结果,并且要求技师对引擎做改进 "After practice and qualifying I really thought we could come away from Le Mans with a good result, which makes today even more frustrating," said Hopkins. "在练习及排位之後,我真的认为我们在Le Mans可以有个好的结果,但这让今天更加的令人 沮丧" "I got a pretty good start, and was then able to make up places by passing on the brakes, but there are still a number of areas where we're losing out, on acceleration out of the turns for example, and this makes it difficult to make a pass stick. "我有个相当不错的发车,并且可以在煞车上使名次提高,但是任然有些地方我们并没有 把握住,譬如出湾後的加速,这也使我超过那些家伙时相当困难" "It's no fun holding off someone like (Fiat Yamaha's Jorge) Lorenzo for a whole lap, only to see him motor past you as soon as you get onto the straight. We need to work on these areas, starting with tomorrow's test, and we need to make some improvements if we're to increase our competitiveness. "守住棒棒堂一整圈是相当不好玩的一件事,一上了直线,就马上看到他的车尾灯从旁边 呼啸而过. 我们必须在这地方多下点功夫,就在明天的测试上. 并且如果我们想要增加 竞争力,我们就必须做些改进" "As for the chain, I guess that was just bad luck. Now we need to find out why it failed, so we can avoid the same problem in the future. "就像那个链条,我猜就只是运气那麽不好了一点. 现在我们必须找出为什麽它会断 ,我们才可以避免同样的问题在未来发生" Hopkins also apologised to Suzuki rival Loris Capirossi for an overtaking move that pushed the Italian on the grass. Hopkins也为了一个超车使Capirossi跑到草地上做出道歉 "Finally, I'd like to apologise to Loris for the pass I put on him, which was a little bit hard. Sorry Loris," he concluded. West, who has lamented a lack of traction at the rear throughout the season, said that problem worsened in the race today, with the team later identifying the cause in the bike's set-up. West, 一个被悼念这季因为被後轮牵引力锁住的人,说这问题在今天的比赛里更加的恶化 ,而他的团队在稍晚了解到是因为车子设定所造成的(这段翻的怪怪的= =) "I am not happy at all," he said. "This weekend has been a struggle, because we've had the same rear traction problems that we've experienced at every track since the start of the season. But then, in the race, the rear grip was non-existent; the bike was spinning up if I even thought about opening the throttle. "我相当的不高兴,"他说 "这个周末相当的挣扎,因为我们有同样的後轮牵引力问题,这样的 经验在季中的每个赛道都有. 但是,在这场比赛中,後轮的抓地力不存在了;只要我油门催下 去,我的车就会开始打滑 "I knew straight away that something was wrong, but short of coming in for a change of tyre and kissing any chance of a points scoring finish goodbye, there was nothing I could do. "我直觉的知道有东西不对劲,但是短暂进PIT换胎後,并且抓住任何机会在结束时得到点分 数,我不能做任何事情(这段也怪怪的= =) "In the end, I just did what I could to ride round the problem, but I don't think I've ever been as happy to see the chequered flag as I was today. "在最後,我只是做了我能做的在那个问题之下骑车,但是我不认为今天我看到方格旗之後 很高兴. "Now I want to know what the problem was, and I want to be sure that we don't have the same problem again." "现在我想知道那个问题是什麽,并且我想确定我们将不会再一次的有同样的问题." Kawasaki competition manager Michael Bartholemy publicly apologised to West on behalf of the team, who took full blame for the rider's set-up problem. K军的赛事经理(?)Michael Bartholemy 扛下所有对车手的设定问题责任,代表团队公开 地对West道歉. "To Anthony I'd like to apologise, because the difficulties he experienced today were due to a miscalculation on the part of the team," Bartholemy said. "He showed true determination this afternoon by riding around the problem to finish the race, and for that he should be commended." -- 有几段我就偷懒点没翻 刚游完泳好累阿..... 有翻译错误烦请指正 K军的两个车手好悲惨阿= = --
