大威在今天比赛後记者会的评论 "I just feel that in the modern world with the modern thoughts, we all understand that everyone's equal," the American former world number one told reporters after her 7-6 6-4 quarter-final win over fellow American Laura Granville at the Memphis International. "So if someone else doesn't choose to live in the modern world and do the right thing, then thank God that the majority of people in the All England Club do." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 一篇推崇Venus为男女平等活动贡献的文章(节录) No active athlete gave a more important push to the old-boy bastion than Venus Williams of Palm Beach Gardens. She wrote guest editorials and argued passionately for the change, particularly at news conferences at Wimbledon last year. 没有任何一个现役选手像大威那样积极对抗传统的男尊堡垒 他写了公开信.评论而且积极的争论以获得改变 特别是在去年温网的记者会上 "The greatest tennis tournament in the world has reached an even greater height today," Williams said Thursday. "I applaud today's decision by Wimbledon, which recognizes the value of women's tennis. The 2007 Championships will have even greater meaning and significance to me and my fellow players." 这项最伟大的赛事今天甚至达到了更伟大的境地 我为今天温网的决定而鼓舞 这代表女网的价值终於获得认同 2007的赛事对我跟我的同侪们来说会有更伟大的意义 The principal argument for the old system was that men play best of five sets while women play best of three. But Williams helped puncture that position with her play as well as her words. For example, her 2005 victory in the Wimbledon final over Lindsay Davenport lasted longer than the men's championship and captured higher TV ratings. 这项传统最主要的争论在於男选手打五盘三胜 而女选手打三盘二胜 但大威以不仅从言论 也从球技去破坏这样的争议 举例来说 他在2005女单决赛击败Lindsay Davenport的比赛 耗时比男单决赛更久 而收视率也比男单决赛更高 "I can't applaud Venus enough," said Donna Lopiano, chief executive officer of the Women's Sports Foundation, a nonprofit group founded by Billie Jean King in East Meadow, N.Y. "She was eloquent in her explanation of how important it was to respect the achievements of women. Any athlete who stands up like that deserves praise, because it is not easy." "我永远都不能给Venus足够的掌声" 女子运动基金会执行长Donna Lopiano说 这个机构是Billie Jean King在纽约创立的非营利团体 "他对於尊重女性成就有多重要的解释非常的有说服力 任何像他那样发声的运动员都应该被赞扬 因为这并不容易" -- --
