Q. That was, it looked like to me, by far the best you've played since you've been here, especially the return of serve. You're just cracking everything, huh? 对我来说 这是你目前在这打的最好的一场 特别是回发 你今天不停的攻击 SERENA WILLIAMS: That was definitely better today. It came together in practice the other day. I was feeling a little bit better. And I knew if I could play the way I practiced, I would be able to do a good job. 今天绝对打的更好 结合了训练的内容 我感觉更好了 如果我能打出训练的状态 我就会表现的非常好 Q. You're coming into the fourth round, the player's pretty tough, and now it's sort of a different situation where you know you're going to be facing a lead player. Is it, "I've got to step it up now, now I've got to find the rhythm"? 已经第四轮了 选手们都很强 现在开始是不同的情况了 你现在要对上的是顶尖选手了 你会试着"我得进到下一阶段了 我得找到节奏"? SERENA WILLIAMS: Pretty much. Justine's really good here. She's done really solid here, I mean, if she goes on to win her match. 嗯 Justine在这里表现很好 他的表现也很坚强 Usually I don't like to peak too soon; I like to bring up the level of my play right around quarters, semis, mainly in the finals. 通常我不喜欢一下就到达巅峰状态 我希望一场场慢慢打 八强 四强 然後决赛到巅峰 Q. How are you feeling after a week of playing on the clay? 一周过去了 在红土上感觉如何? SERENA WILLIAMS: I feel good. I really -- I feel better each match. I'm sliding better. I'm running better. And I'm just doing -- just playing the clay court game a little better. So I feel really good. 感觉不错 真的每场都感觉更好了 我滑步更好了 跑的更好了 也更能适应红土比赛 所以我感觉真的很好 Q. Do you need to play matches to really dial in a clay court game or can you do it on a practice court? 你需要多打比赛来适应红土或光靠训练就可以? SERENA WILLIAMS: I can -- what was that? 可以再说一次吗? Q. Do you need to play matches to really get your dial in your clay court game or can you actually just do that hitting balls and practice and sliding and all that stuff? 你需要更多比赛来适应红土或你其实光靠训练就可以? SERENA WILLIAMS: I can definitely do it practicing. I think it's good to play matches, but there's no clay court like there is at Roland Garros. I mean, for me, when I play Rome, it's a totally different surface. I mean, it is clay and it is European clay, but it's not the same. So for me it's... 我可以在训练达到 我想打比赛的确不错 不过没有红土能跟再这里的一样 当我打罗马 我感觉到这其实是不同的场地 都是欧洲红土 但不太一样 Q. What are the properties that you're talking about? 你的意思是? SERENA WILLIAMS: In Rome, the court is much faster. It almost plays -- it just plays really fast and it's a lot dryer. Berlin, it's, I haven't been there in years, but it's too thick almost. It's just different surfaces. It's hard to get the same replica of the French Open. This one plays kind of slow, but I like this one the best. 在罗马 我觉得速度更快一点 而这里比较潮湿 柏林我没有去 不过那边的土有点太密了 所以那其实是不同的球场 而不是法网的复制品 这边比较慢 我最喜欢这里 Q. Would you normally look ahead in the draw or do it this time because it's better to know that you're going to have a match like the Justine match potentially so early? 你会先看签表吗? 还是等到要对上再看? 因为你最好能先知道这麽早就要碰到像Justine这样的对手 SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah. I mean, right now, obviously you guys have been saying since day one, I mean, even before I played, Justine was the quarterfinals if we both made it that far. So I knew that for about a week and a half now. 嗯 我想你们当然从第一天就开始说了 我的意思是我开始打之前 我就知道Justine会跟我在八强遇到了 如果我们都能打那麽远 我已经知道一个半星期了 Q. Before they did the draw? 抽签以前就知道了 SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, I knew it. 嗯 Q. Can you reflect on that match. It was one of the emotionally I think toughest on-court experiences you've ever had, 2003, that semi. 你可以回顾一下那场吗? 我想那是你最艰难的红土回忆 2003四强 SERENA WILLIAMS: I don't want to reflect on that anymore. I let it go. And obviously she did. Or whether she didn't or not, it doesn't matter anymore. This is a new year. It was what it was, but we're both different people now. 我不想要再想了 我选择让这件事过去 当然他是做了(举手) 或不管他有没有做 那都不重要了 这是新的一年 而且我们现在也都不同了 Q. Have you matured to the point that if you get into -- I mean, if you play her, it's going to be a tough match. I mean, you know that. She knows that. And the crowd gets into it. Have you matured to the point where you can keep it calm, keep it at a good level so the crowd gets into it; you can still push through and win the match? 你变的更成熟了吗? 如果观众干扰 你能保持冷静 高状态 仍然能通过考验赢得比赛? SERENA WILLIAMS: Absolutely. I mean, I definitely feel like I've matured for that, to that point. I feel like, if the crowd gets involved, I'm just going to be there, zone out, just focus on me. 当然我觉得那次让我更成熟了 我觉得不管现在观众怎样 我都可以更集中自己身上 Q. In today's match, Safina likes to bash the ball, gives you a lot of looks, and Justine is not going to play that kind of match at all. She's going to give you a different spin, move it around differently. What are you going to do to really stay on top of her? 今天的比赛中 Safina很喜欢猛攻 但是Justine打法并不是这样 他会给把球下很多旋转 让球跑的更不同 你有什麽办法能保持高状态呢? SERENA WILLIAMS: I think Safina did that a while. She hit hard, then she hit lobs, then she hit soft balls. She really gave me a lot of different pace. I didn't expect her to play like that at all, at all, whatsoever. So she totally gave me a different ball. I think that's kind of good going into Justine. 我想Safina之前就是那样打了 他打的很用力 然後高吊 然後打出一些软球 他会给你不同的节奏 我不期望他会打的那样 所以他给我的是不同的球 我想那也可以帮我准备跟Justine的比赛 My hitting partners both give me different kind of feels so it's going to work out good. Either way, I mean, I'm really excited about the match-up. 我的练球搭档都给了我不同的球感 所以我想我可以做的不错 我对於即将来到的比赛很兴奋 Q. What kind of context does the Miami match have in a situation like this? Does it mean nothing? Does it mean a lot to either of you? Miami的比赛会影响这比赛多少? 不代表任何事或对你们两个都意义重大? SERENA WILLIAMS: It means a lot to me. You know, it's another title under my belt. But it's a different surface, different weather, Grand Slam, quarterfinals. It's not the finals. You know, obviously, we both want to win and we both want to go out there and do our best. 我想对我来说意义很大 那是我的另一个冠军头衔 当然那是不同的球场 不同的天气 大满贯八强 而不是决赛 但我们都想赢 我们也都想表现出最好的那面 So with that being said, it's totally different circumstances. But at the same time, I think it has the same amount of desire to come out on top. 所以这是不同的情况 不过我想希望登上巅峰的慾望是不变的 Q. What about the way you won that one? Does that have a carry-over effect? 你是如何赢得那场的? 那场比赛还有剩余的影响吗? SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, you know, I think in her mind, if she's up, she's going to be thinking, "I'm not going to count her out." And I think for that matter, everyone thinks that, you know. I mean, I hope. If not, oh well. You never count me out. 我想这场比赛在我的心理 如果他领先 他可能会想"我还是不能小看他" 我想每个人都会这样想 我的意思是我希望每个人都不会小看我 Q. How do you think you've changed personally since 2003? 你在2003後改变多大? SERENA WILLIAMS: I've definitely grown up a lot, matured a lot, you know, and been through a lot of things since '03. And I'm just maybe I'm more cynical. 我成长了很多 更成熟了 03年後我经历了很多事 或许变的更悲观一点 Q. In what ways are you more cynical, except with the media? 哪方面? 除了对媒体? SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, just always see the glass as half empty. So, yeah, whatever. I guess it's not the way to look at it, but... 我看到装了半杯的水会想只剩半杯而不是还有半杯 我知道那样不太好 但.. Q. Is that good or bad when it comes to -- 这是好或坏呢? SERENA WILLIAMS: You know, not on the tennis court. I'm just talking about off the court. I'm like, "Okay, it wasn't meant to be." The story of my life kind of thing. 嗯 不是关於场上 我是说关於场下 我会想"好吧 没那麽糟" 这是我生命故事中的一部份 Q. If I could be a little bit more specific, you've been through loss, a terrible loss in your family. 如果更特定的来说 我想那是因为你失去了一个亲人? SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah. 嗯 Q. Injury, a lot of doubters? 受伤 跟很多质疑的人? SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah. 嗯 Q. Is this Justine's house? 这是Justine的主场吗? SERENA WILLIAMS: I would say it's Amelie's house. She's French. Everyone roots for her. Justine's kind of French with a Belgium thing, and her French, she's from the French part of Belgium. But I would just have to say it's Amelie's house. 我觉得这是Amelie的主场 他是法国人 每个人都支持他 Justine有点像是在比利时的法国人 他从比利时的法语区来 我还是得说这是Amelie的主场 Q. But she wins. Part of it being someone's house is someone playing their best tennis, right? 但他赢 有一部份是因为在主场就会表现出最好的表现 对吧? SERENA WILLIAMS: The Lakers don't win (laughter). 但是湖人队在主场没有赢(笑) Q. No, but Kobe does. Exactly, but Kobe does. Kobe does when he's at home. When you come in here, do you think, "Well, I'm this good, but Justine's played great, great, great tennis here over the years"? 不 但Kobe赢了 Kobe在主场就会赢 当你来到这里 你会想 "我是这麽好 但Justine这几年在这打的非常非常棒"吗? SERENA WILLIAMS: Absolutely not. I mean, obviously I know she's played great tennis. At this point, I don't have anything to lose. Like I said from the beginning, I can only go up. I didn't play here last year. I can only propel myself forward and, you know, that's how I look at, you know, every match, including her. 当然不会 我知道他打的非常好 但我想现在我没什麽好输的 就像我说的 我只能进步了 我去年没有打 我只能激励自己向前看 你知道 那就是我看每场比赛的方式 当然包括他 I know she's playing great, but I never count myself out, because if I do, then it's best for me not to even go out. I might as well stay home and go on vacation. 我知道他打的很好 但我从不会小看自己 因为我知道如果我小看自己 我不如乾脆别来了 我可以留在家或度假去 Q. You've traveled in your own circle, and Justine travels in her own circle. Have you guys ever had a conversation about what happened in that match in 2003? 你们都各自有生活圈 你们有讨论过2003那场比赛发生的事吗? SERENA WILLIAMS: Not since 2003, no. 2003以後 没有 Q. How does that work in your mind, then? 你怎麽去改变你的想法? SERENA WILLIAMS: I don't think about it. I know I wasn't at fault in any way, and, you know, I guess she was doing everything, I guess, to win. Who knows? I don't know. I don't really think about that. It was a long time ago. Like I said, so much has happened since '03. It seems like decades ago. 我没有去想 我知道那不是我的错 而且他那天表现的太完美了 我没有去想 那已经很久以前了 03年後很多事发生 对我来说就像几十年前了 Q. Back in 2003, you were perhaps at the height of your powers. You had the Serena slam, 2002 to 2003. How would you compare yourself as a player now to then? 回到2003 你会许那时候正是巅峰期 2002-03你赢了Serena slam 你会怎麽比较那时跟现在的自己? SERENA WILLIAMS: I would -- I don't know. I have to look at the film. I don't know. I was going to say I think I'm more patient, but maybe -- I don't know. 我不知道 我得去看一些影片 我想我现在更有耐心了 Q. How close are you to being as good as you were then or are you better? 你的状态跟那时有多接近? 或你现在更好? SERENA WILLIAMS: I don't know. Honestly, I've never -- I have to go back and look at my -- I would imagine I'm better than I was. But I think with everyone's lifting their kind of level of game, you kind of have to be better. But again I'd have to go see. 我真的不知道 我有时会想像我比之前更好 但现在每个人都提昇了 所以你也得变的更好 我得去看看影片 Q. Did you watch the video of Australia, particularly the final, and if you did, what was your reaction to it? 你有看澳网的影片吗? 特别是决赛 如果你有看 你的反应如何? SERENA WILLIAMS: What video? 哪个影片? Q. Well, you said you have to watch the video to compare yourself. Did you watch the video of the Australian Open final this year? Were you impressed or not impressed or? 你说你得看影片来比较自己的表现 你有看今年澳网决赛吗? 你有没有感到很印象深刻? SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, I watched it. I was impressed. I must say, you know, I thought when I was done, I thought. "Okay. I did good." 有 我有看 我印象非常深刻 当我完成的时候我想"喔 我做的很好" But I'm really a perfectionist, I thought I could do this better. But looking back, I thought I did everything pretty good and I'd like to keep playing like that. 但我真的是个完美主义者 我想我可以做更好 但回头看我想我每件事都做的不错 而且我希望能继续打的像那样 Q. Lindsay and Kim Clijsters more or less being retired, Jennifer not being here, does that make anything different for you? They were around so long when you were playing and they're not here anymore? Lindsay跟Kim都退休了 Jennifer不在这里 对你来说那有什麽样的改变吗? 他们跟你一起打比赛很久了 而他们不再出现? SERENA WILLIAMS: The only thing that makes the difference is you miss the camaraderie of them in the locker room. 我想唯一有差距的就是你会怀念那些他们在更衣室的情景 Q. Just to clarify did you actually have a conversation with Justine in 2003 about that or have you guys never spoken about it once? 我想知道你究竟有没有跟Justine谈过这件事? SERENA WILLIAMS: Thanks. That's for me. 谢谢 这是我唯一能说的 -- --
