Roger is I think -- I don't know exactly how to explain in English. (Speaking Spanish.) BENITO PEREZ: He's a great partner, he's a great buddy of his.

Can you reflect, just discuss what it meant to you to be representing Spain in Beijing, particularly coming off of Roland Garros and then Wimbledon and then to go off to Beijing and represent Espana, can you just talk about that experience. RAFAEL NADAL: I feel all the sportsman, when you are playing international tournaments or international competitions, you are representing your country. Not only playing Davis Cup or the Olympics. But for sure when you are playing one competition like the Olympic Games, on all the countries I watching the sports. So for sure it is a pleasure, no, for me represent my country. Always is special motivation. I start in 2004 represent my country in Davis Cup, and since that moment, I feel very special feeling when I am representing my country. Q.你能说说看，在北京奥运时你代表西班牙出来比赛，对你的意义是？特别是在你成功拿 下 Roland Garros、温网，然後前往奥运代表Espana，你能说说看这样的经验吗？ Rafa:所有的运动员，在国际比赛和国际赛事中，都是代表国家出赛的！不光只是在Davis Cup 或奥运比赛中代表国家。但是，可以确定的是，当你在像奥运般盛大的赛事中比 赛，而这样的比赛却是在所有国家都能看到时，这样的感觉是更加深刻的！所以，能 为国出赛，是一件乐事，总是一个特别的激励！我从04年开始代表我国出战台维斯盃 比赛，从那个时候起，为国家比赛对我而言成为非常特别的经验！ Q.

RAFAEL NADAL: It was tough, because two weeks ago I went from Cincinnati to Beijing, 12 hours, and went 12 more hours. So it's tough, but I don't want to think about that, no? You think less gonna be important. Q.时差对你有多大的影响呢？你有做任何特别的措施吗？ Rafa:非常困难，因为两星期前我才从Cincinnati到北京，十二小时的时差，又多加十二多 小时的时差。所以，这是困难的，但我不想去想那些事情！少去想那些会是很重要的 一点！ Q. The other night you said after the Olympics you really enjoyed the athlete village and being around all those athletes. Did you learn anything from any of the athletes there or enjoy their company, getting away from tennis? RAFAEL NADAL: Always you learn new things, no? It's very important experience of my life. I enjoy being with a lot of other sportsmen of the world. Was very nice experience. You know, everything is -- with tennis we have lucky. Everything is professional. But when you are there you feel another kind of feelings, no? You watch the other sports, you watch the other sportsmen, and for this (Speaking Spanish.) BENITO PEREZ: It's not as easy for them as it is for us. They don't have such a probably professional circuit around them, so to see how they do things, you can tell it's different, you know. Sort of in a way they're more lucky than tennis players to have such an organized and professional circuit. RAFAEL NADAL: But it's an amazing feeling, being there, eating when you go to eat for dinner, for lunch, you were there, with, I don't know, 6,000 people around, 6,000 sportsmen around the world. So it was, believe me, it was unbelievable . Q.前晚，你曾提到，在奥运时，你很享受在选手村的生活和和这些选手在一起。你有从他 们身上学到任何事情或是很喜欢他们的陪伴，能让你暂时远离网球运动呢？ Rafa:你总是会学到一些新的东西。这对我的生活而言是非常重要的经验！我很喜欢和这些 其他的运动选手在一起。是个非常好的经验！你知道的，在网球运动中，我们算是幸 运的一群。每一件事都和专业有关！但是，当你在那边的时候，你能感受到不同的感 觉！你会去看其他不同类型的运动，也会看其他的运动员，然而这是…(西文会话中) Benito Perez: 对他们和对我们来说都是不容易的。他们没有太多专业的??，所以在看他们处理事 情时，你能分别不同点。对此而言，他们是比网球选手来的更幸运，能够有如此有组 织和专业的环境。(arcuit? 好像不是英文…^^") Rafa:但是，能在那边和他们一起相处确实是很让人兴奋的经验！不论你是去吃晚餐或午餐 都有大约6,000人和你一起用餐，六千个来自世界各地的运动员。这是如此的不可思 议啊！ Q. Now that you have the No. 1 ranking, do you feel there's more pressure on you now? Roger was saying now you're going to feel what he's been feeling for the last five years. RAFAEL NADAL: I think I answered the question some questions ago, no? For me, doesn't change. Nothing too much. The goal is still the same: Continuing improve my tennis and trying to continue winning titles. So the pression is not different three weeks ago than three weeks later. I am the same. Just when I go on court I'm not thinking if I am No. 1 or if I am No. 2, no? I was very happy being No. 2 for the last three years, but now I'm happy for be No. 1. I know how tough it is No. 1, and I know for sure I can go back to No. 2 or No. 3 in next months, no? So you have to be ready for everything and try to enjoy this moment and accept everything. Enjoy this moment, because not all your careera I play like I did in the last six months, so all the time you have better moments, worse moments. Right now I have my best moment in my careera. You know, probably six months ago, seven months ago, you guys was asking me for what reason I am not winning any tournament. So that's the sport and that's the thing, no? So enjoy this moment. But at the same time, continue with me the same humble like always. You never know what's going on . Q.现在你是世界第一的选手，你觉得你会有更多的压力吗？Roger说，现在你将会体会到他 过去五年成为世界第一的感觉。 Rafa:我想先前我回答过这些问题。对我而言，是不会有任何改变的。目标仍然是一样的： 继续增进我的网球技术和努力取得更多赛事胜利。所以，三星期前和三星期後的压力 仍会是相同的。我仍是一样的我。只是当我在球场上时，我不会去想我是世界排名第 一或排名第二。在过去三年中，我很开心我是世界排名第二的选手，但是现在我很高 兴成为第一。我知道，处於第一的辛苦。而且，我知道也许在几个月後我可能再回到 世界第二、三的位子。所以，你必需准备好迎接每件事和试着去享受这时光，以及接 受每件事情的发生。享受这一刻，因为并不是所有职业生涯的表现都像我过去这六个 月的表现一样！有好的时光，也有不好的时光！现在，我正处於我的职业高峰。你知 道吗？你们大家也很可能在六、七个月之前问我，为什麽没有拿下任何的赛事。这就 是这个运动的生态。所以，尽情享受这个时光！但同时，继续维持如同往常的谦虚态 度。你永远不会知道接下来会有什麽事发生！ Q. When you think back on the last three months, all that you've been able to accomplish, could you just describe the feelings in the last three months and just reflect on that? RAFAEL NADAL: A lot of important moments passed in the last three, four months, not only three months, no? I won my first tournament in Monte-Carlo. And for me, Monte-Carlo, Barcelona, Rome, Hamburg, those are very important tournaments in my careera, too, no? So I appreciate these tournaments like another ones, big ones, no? So just was amazing feeling, but I work very hard for try to be ready when that moment is coming, and try to be prepared for everything. Q.当你回头想过去的三个月，所有你能成就的事情，你能描述过去三个月你的感觉是什麽 吗？ Rafa:在过去三、四个月当中，很多重要的时刻都已过去，不是只有三个月而已。我在 Monte-Carlo取得第一个赛事胜利。对我而言，Monte-Carlo、Barcelona、Rome、 Hamburg，这些比赛对我的职业生涯都很重要！所以，我很感谢这些赛事给我的收获 ！这是如此让人兴奋的感觉，但我很努力在准备迎接那个时刻的来临，努力於每件事 情！ Q. Have you looked at the draw yet, who you might be playing? Have you looked past first round or your section of the draw? RAFAEL NADAL: I play against Bjorn Phau first round. Never is easy, no? Never easy the first round of one tournament like this and playing against qualifier who is coming with good rhythm, for sure because he win some matches before on the same surface. So going to be a tough match always, and I have to start, try to start strong. Q.你已经看过签表了吗？你的对手可能是谁呢？你看过第一轮或是你所在区块的比赛吗？ Rafa:我第一轮对上Bjorn Phau。从来不是容易的比赛。对上调整好调态的选手，打得第一 场比赛通常不会是容易的。因为，先前他就已经在这样的场地中拿下一些比赛的胜利 。所以，会是艰难的比赛！我必需开始变得更强壮了！ =============================================================================== GO,Rafa!!
