Ford: Back to Serena for a minute -- she's a former champion of this event. The last couple of years, people have dismissed her on clay mainly because of fitness issues. 回到Serena 他是法网的前冠军 这一两年大家都在红土上把他排除在外 主要是因为他的身体因素.... Evert: But she moves so beautifully. That's the difference. She's got the power but moves better. I don't think her movement has been questioned as much as her injuries and her patience and her fitness -- as in, will she last three three-set matches in a row. This year her fitness has gone up a level. She admits it, and I can hear in her voice in her press conferences that she's excited about playing again. She has to work a little harder on the clay and she's not going to get as many free points. She's got to be fit. But I see everything this year pointing towards her having a successful French Open. 但他现在的移位漂亮极了 他现在拥有力量 而且移位更好 我不觉得现在他的移位那麽被质疑 他可以赢下很多三盘战 今年他的身体来到一个新的高度 他也承认这点 他的声音也对比赛充满了期待 他在红土需要加把劲而且不会有那麽多轻松分 他也需要保持身材 我想今年他会有个成功的法网 Ford: Chris, there was a controversy earlier this year -- Richard Williams made some comments and you were included in those [at a tournament in India, Williams said his daughters were still not "accepted by tennis" and referred to Evert and Tracy Austin as "little white no-good trashers.''] I know your history with the family is a bit complicated, but did that bother you, or did you try to tune it out? 今年Richard Williams做出了一些批评 (声称大小威不被网球世界接受 而像Evert或Austine这样不会打球的垃圾却大家喜欢) 我知道你跟威家有些复杂的关系 但这件事影响你了吗? 或是你想要公开谈谈? Evert: This is my history with the family. When Venus was, like, 9 years old, her father called my dad and said, "Could we come to your house, Venus would love to see Chrissie's trophies." She came to the house with Richard, walked around, looked at my trophies, had her picture taken with my Wimbledon trophy. The first year I had my Pro Celebrity [charity event], I invited Venus and Serena to play, they were like 9 and 11 and nobody knew of them. They came and they played a little exhibition. Venus九岁的时候 他爸爸打给我跟问我可不可以到我家 他说Venus会很高兴能够看到我的奖杯 然後他们过来 Venus还跟我的温网奖盘拍照 我第一次举办名人慈善赛的时候 我邀请了Venus跟Serena 那时他们才11跟9岁 没有人认识他 他们打了一点点表演赛 They went on to be No. 1 in the world. Then when Serena was having some difficulty with her tennis and that beautiful game she has and her dominance, I wrote that letter, one of my columns in Tennis Magazine. I thought I was very positive in that article, encouraging her to dedicate herself and be the player she was meant to be, and all her other interests could wait a few years, and sometimes you have to devote yourself if you want to be No. 1. You could be the best player who ever lived. Everybody was rooting for her. I don't think they took it that way. 接着他们登上世界第一 然後Serena碰到了一些麻烦 我写了一封公开信在Tennis Magazine 我想我那封信写得相当正面而且尝试鼓励他 希望他可以等几年再发展其他兴趣 有时候得强迫自己才能登上第一 他有那个实力 大家都看好他但我却不觉得他们这样做了 As far as Richard, the quotes, I don't know what to say. I kind of feel sorry for him if he is that angry and bitter about tennis players and about white tennis players. When people lash out like that, they must be miserable people. I'm not going to compound it. I think it's unacceptable. If my parents had come out with quotes like that, I think people would make a bigger deal about it. He has a history of saying things that are unacceptable. And I don't really think many people in tennis listen to him anymore. So if I make a stink about it, it's just going to draw attention to it. That's why I didn't say anything. 至於Richard的评论我不知该说什麽 如果他对其他白人球员感到愤怒不满的话 我感到很遗憾 当他们公开说出这类的话 他们肯定是很可怜的 但我不会对此妥协 我认为这是无法接受的 如果我爸妈讲出这类的话 我想人们会看得更严重 他之前也有过讲些大家无法接受的话 我不觉得网球界的人有很多听他的 我不想随之起舞 所以我不会发表评论 -- --
