There are times, nevertheless, when the big names can seem intimidating, as Keothavong discovered at a tournament in California last summer. "I was on the practice court, just sorting out some stuff in my bag," the British No 1 recalled yesterday. "Serena Williams walked straight up to me and said, in that funny voice she does, 'I used to think you were a nice girl'. I thought, 'What is she talking about?' She repeated it and I said to her, 'I am a nice girl'. At the same time I was thinking, 'Where is this going? Is she winding me up?' 有些时候大明星们还是很吓人的 就像Keothavong去年夏天在加州一个比赛经历的那样 "我在练习场 正在收东西 Serena Williams从我旁边走过 用一种好笑的声音跟我说'我之前以为你是个好女孩哩'" 我那时候想'蛤 他在说什麽?' 他又说了一次 我跟他说'我是个好女孩' 我还是在想'他在说什麽? 是想作弄我吗?'" "Then out of nowhere she said, 'You made Venus's ear bleed'. I said, 'Did I? When?' She was talking about my match against Venus at Wimbledon last summer. I said, 'I didn't mean to hit her in the face. The ball was there and I just hit it. I was expecting her to move'. It certainly wasn't intentional. I told Serena, 'It couldn't have been that bad. Venus did win the tournament. I probably did her a favour'. "他接着说'你害Venus的耳朵流血了' 我回他'有吗? 什麽时候' 他是说去年温网我跟Venus的比赛 我跟他说'我不是故意打他的脸的 球在那个地方 我只是去打而已 我以为他会躲开' 我不是故意的 我跟Serena说'没那麽糟嘛 至少Venus赢了冠军 搞不好我帮他开了运'" "I was waiting for Serena to start laughing, and eventually she did. I think I did convince her that I am a nice girl, though Venus did have to see the doctor that week and her ear was bleeding. Serena was very kind to me for the rest of the week, so I'm sure she must have been winding me up. But it was a very odd moment." "我正在等Serena笑 他也真的笑了 我想我说服他我是个好女孩了 虽然Venus那个礼拜得去看医生 耳朵还流血 後来Serena整个礼拜都对我不错 所以我想他肯定当时是想作弄我 但当时真是尴尬极了" -- --
