QUESTIONS TO RAFA (2008/8/26) Hola Rafa, many congratulations for a wonderful season of 8 titles. (and many more to come). Continued success for the rest of the year! You are asked so many questions and we thank you for sharing your comments and I love reading your blog. You are very funny! As fishing is one of your great passions, my question is do you own your own fishing boat? You are a wonderful champion. Best of luck for the US Open and look forward to seeing you at the Australian Open in 2009! Lots of love and kisses, Sharee, VB Brigade, Brisbane, Australia 问豆豆有没有自己的海钓船...(这人的题干也太罗嗦= =) RN: Hi, no I don't have a fishing boat. A friend of my father has it and we go with him sometimes. 豆:没有耶~我爸的朋有一艘，有时候我们会跟他出去。 You must be exhausted from all the tennis you've played this year. Since the U.S. Open is best of 5, how do you think your body will hold up? Kelly Faust 问豆豆美网要打五盘会不会累.. RN: I am sure it will be fine. We are used to play best of 5 at Grand Slams. But thanks anyway 豆:我确定我的身体很ok，我们都很习惯在大满贯打五盘了。无论如何还是谢谢关心 Hola, Rafael, congratulations on your Olympic medal and your fantastic season. What are 3 words you say to yourself to keep yourself motivated? Cedrine,UK 问豆豆三个拿来鼓励自己的字? RN: Vamos. Ahora and si! Sometimes I even say Come on! (有请西文翻译...) Hello Rafa! I have been watching your tournaments this season and am awestruck and impressed. You are clearly having a wonderful season and I wish you the best of luck for the rest of it. There is however a rumor going around of your laundry skills needing some work. Another athlete claims to have seen you mixing your colors with your whites in the laundry room in the Olympic Village. Are you now wearing pink, or did you manage to avoid the disaster? Hanne,Norway 有谣言说豆豆在奥运选手村是不是把杂色跟白色衣物混在一起洗，结果把白色衣牧咩쬊成粉红色，问豆豆真的穿粉红色吗?还是把它处理掉了? RN: I managed to avoid disaster. But you seem to know more than me... :-) 我是把他处理掉了啊，不过你好像知道的比我多耶 (阿不然真相是?....) Hi Rafa, I was wondering did you buy yourself anything nice to celebrate becoming number 1 in the world? Christy UK 问豆豆有没有买任何东西来犒赏自己登上no.1... RN: No, not really. 豆:没有 Hi Rafa, I have been a huge fan of yours since the 2005 Rome Masters final against Coria. I know that as a tennis player on the tour, you get to travel to amazing places like Monte Carlo, Dubai and Shanghai. Which city on the tour do you like the best? And which city or place that you have never visited before would you like to go to? Vin 问豆最喜欢哪个城市? RN: This is a tough question. I have always said that Paris is one of my favorite cities, but there are many great cities. Monte Carlo has that something special and I also like New York. But believe me in the end the best place is Mallorca. 豆:这很难回答耶，我总是说巴黎是我最爱的城市之一，但还是有其他很棒的城市 ，像蒙地卡罗就很有自己的特色，我也爱纽约。但相信我，最棒的地方还是Mallorca。 Hola Rafa, muchas gracias for writing a blog from the US Open and for replying to your fans' questions. For sure, Rafa, we are the luckiest fans del mundo! I am very happy that you are having a really great year ... Muchas Felicidades. My question for you is this, Rafa ... which were you more excited about - winning Wimbledon, winning the gold medal at the Olympic Games or becoming the number 1 player in the world? Niamh Kearney, Ireland 问豆豆温布顿、金牌跟Top1的位置哪一个最令他兴奋? (这个人很爱烙西文= =.. RN: Let's say all three in the same year is amazing for me. Since I won the three of them I will stay with those and the other titles I won. They are all important to me too! 豆:我必须说在一年内赢得这三项是很惊奇的，我会将它们和我过去的奖盃一起珍藏 ，它们对我都很重要。 What sporting events did you get the chance to watch at the Olympics? Mary Beth 问豆豆在奥运期间看了什麽赛事? RN: Basketball. I went to see Spain vs. the USA in the qualifying round. 豆:篮球，我去看了西班牙对美国的预赛。 (我们都知道你去看谁....XD) Hi Rafa, I am 61 and have a wonderful daughter but if I had had a son I would have wanted him to be like you because you are such an example to all young people in your humble manner, your courtesy to everyone, your consideration for your fans but especially your respect for your family. Do you think that it is possible for a top player to remain at the top of the game and be married and have children? It seems to me that many of the top tennis players in the past have not been able to do this and have not performed so well when they married. Perhaps you have to devote all your concentration to tennis to be at the top? Thank you. Anne Dow 问豆豆有没有结婚的打算?要怎麽兼顾事业和家庭?... (我说这位大婶您也担心太多了，还强调有个漂亮女儿，是来挑女婿的吗?!XDD) RN: I think I am too young to even know this. I would think so but you need to ask someone who is married, with kids, etc. Too early for me :-) 豆:我想我太年轻而不懂得这些，你可能要去问那些结过婚有小孩的球员，对我 来说这还太早啦~ Rafa, one of the biggest reasons I always root for you is because you’re the eternal underdog. No one ever gives you credit, always has excuses, always doubts you’re ability even when you prove them wrong again and again. You are the Rocky of Tennis and no matter how long you’re number 1 or how many titles you win, you’ll be the underdog. How does it make you feel to know you have so many doubters and critics? Does it motivate you more to adapt to other surfaces and win slams? Do you enjoy making so many people eat their words? Thank you, Steve Tampa, FL 问豆豆怎样面对外界的质疑和批评? RN: Hi, many thanks for your comments. I really don't feel this way. I feel that a lot of people do recognize what I do. But what really motivates me is to win titles. I don't really pay much attention to the negatives. I take more the positives. 豆:嗨，先谢谢你的评论。我没有这种感觉啊，大家都很清楚我的作为，真正能激励 我的还是赢得冠军。我不太注意那些负面的东西，我更常向正面看。 Hello Rafa, lovely to have you blogging again, and well done on such an amazing season so far. In an interview with the Sunday Times, you said once that in your perfect day, you’d fish and golf but there wouldn’t be time for sex. Do you truly prefer golf and fishing to sex? Claire 在某篇访问里，豆豆说他宁可把时间拿去钓鱼或打高尔夫，没空搞sex。 问豆豆真的爱高尔夫跟钓鱼超越sex吗?(好爆的问题@@) RN: It is not exactly like this, but I really enjoy my time back at home. Not much time there. 豆:不是这样说啦，我真的很喜欢回家，但时间不长。 (我猜豆豆脸红了XDD) Hello Rafa, congratulations on your terrific year! Is there any chance that you might appear on "Late Show with David Letterman" if you win the US Open. Anne, Melbourne, FL 问豆豆会不会上David Letterman的节目? RN: I know that my team have had contacts with them. I just don't feel my English is there yet to be doing this show. I have to improve it before. But hey, first I would need to do something really difficult... winning the Open... probably more difficult than me speaking perfect English by the end of the week 豆:我的团队正和他们连系中，我不觉得我的英文好到可以去上这个节目耶，我必须 再更进步一点。不过，嘿，我得先完成某些很困难的事....赢得美网....可能比在这个周末 讲出一口漂亮英文还难。 (是说我很期待这个节目耶XDDD) -- 张爸之於ptt 就像皮皮鬼之於霍格华兹 --
