Richard Williams: Daughters’ resumes are full By Filip Bondy, New York Daily News Sep 2, 2:29 pm EDT Richard Williams never stops trying, never stops hoping that someday his daughters will just once listen to his advice and be sensible. But of course that never happens, and so Venus Williams will surely keep playing singles and doubles at the U.S.Open, and would probably play mixed doubles if her schedule permitted. Richard Williams从不停止试着让他的两个女儿听他的建议 但从来没能如愿 最後Venus选择继续在美网单双打继续比赛 甚至还想尝试混双 “When you are hurt and your knee is swollen and it’s sore, and not just one but both of them, you should go home,” the father was saying Tuesday, after an afternoon practice session, before lighting up his trademark cigarillo. “ In my opinion, that is what I would do. I would pull out of doubles and singles and go home if I’m hurting like that.” "当你伤了膝盖 他会肿起来 会酸痛 不只一边会出问题 两边都会 如果是我伤成那样的话我一定会选择退赛回家" We have been through this before with the Williams family, time and again. If it were up to Richard, his daughters would take a long vacation, heal their sore limbs and maybe walk off into the sunset with their 18 major trophies. That way, he could stop glowering at them, picking up tennis balls all around the practice court. He could stop worrying about them. 我们已经不是第一次听到威爸这样说 他总是说他的女儿应该要休个长假好好养伤 甚至可以带着他们的十八个大满贯奖盃退休 这样他就可以不用跟着大小威继续跑 继续陪他们练习 也不用再替他们担心 Instead, Richard tells them to stop twisting their aching joints or torn muscles. He tells the press the same thing about his daughters. Then Venus or Serena ignores him and goes on to win another Grand Slam event, another trophy. Richard告诉他们不要在动他们的伤部了 他也这样告诉媒体 但他的两个女儿总是当耳边风 继续追求他们的下一个大满贯冠军 It happened at Wimbledon this summer, when Venus was limping hopelessly around on a bad left knee and still advanced all the way to the final against her sister. It is happening again here at Flushing Meadows, where both sisters are battling injuries while clambering through the brackets. 在温网的时候大威跟着她那受伤的左膝一路打进决赛跟妹妹会师 这一幕可能在美网也会发生 两姐妹现在都在跟伤作战并持续在场上奋斗 Serena has a sore ankle and left knee, the father revealed. Venus is worse off, although she will never admit it. She required lengthy on-court bandaging early during her traumatic three-set victory on Monday night over Vera Dushevina. On the practice court Tuesday, she wore a brace on the left knee that appeared even more intrusive than the bandages at Wimbledon. Serena的脚踝跟左膝酸痛 Venus的感觉更糟 虽然他总是不承认 他星期一在场上花了很长的一段时间做包紮 然後惊险打败Dushevina 星期二在训练场上他甚至戴了一个支架 包的比在温网的时候还可怕 “Then when she got home after Wimbledon, her knees were so sore,” Richard Williams said. “When she got to Cincinnati, she couldn’t play.” "温网过後他回家 他的膝盖痛的不得了 後来等到他到辛辛那提 他甚至连打都不能打了" Out on the court Tuesday, Venus didn’t look like much of a world beater. It is always tough to tell with her, though. She has a chronic limp at slow gait, because one leg is slightly longer than the other. And she will never, ever admit to a physical problem. It is part of the sisters’ code. 下了训练场 大威看起来很镇定 他走的蛮慢的 因为他有一条腿稍微长一点点 但他从来就不承认自己有任何生理上的问题 他们两姐妹都是如此 After she nipped Dushevina late Monday night, Venus refused to speak on the matter of the lingering tendinitis in her left knee. 在打败Dushevina後 Venus拒绝谈论任何左膝的问题 “I never get into details about any injuries I’m going through,” she said. “You could see I had some issues. I’m just going to do my best to get as close to 100 percent as I can for my next match.” "我从来就不会很深入去谈我的伤 你可以看的出我是有些麻烦 但我会进我所能挑战自己的最佳状态去准备下一场比赛" According to Richard, however, Venus is not close to 100 percent. He told her to skip practice Tuesday, another good piece of advice that was ignored. 但Richard说Venus现在离百分百的状态还远的很 他告诉Venus应该要取消星期二的训练 但Venus又拒绝他了 “I didn’t watch much of practice,” he said. “I was watching her knee. It looks very sore. As you can see, she’s favoring it a lot. She’s not moving well.” "我没有一直看着他的训练状况 我在观察他的膝盖 他的膝盖看起来很酸痛 你可以看到他真的被伤势困扰 他移位并不好" The problem is that Venus can drag along on two sore knees and still beat 126 of the possible 127 opponents in the draw, everyone but her own sister. Her ferocious serve and her expansive reach alone are enough to keep her in most matches. 虽然Venus就算两个膝盖都很痛 搞不好也可以打败其他127位选手中的126位 除了她妹妹之外 因为他有出众的发球跟很大的覆盖面积 这已经足够让他赢下大多数的比赛 How can you drop out, when you know you can throw your designer outfit on the court and beat almost every woman on the tour at nearly every major? 当你知道你可以穿上你自己设计的衣服 打败几乎全部的对手 你怎麽能说服自己退赛? “Depends on her mind,” Richard said, of his daughter’s chances. “And her mind is very strong.” "都看他的意志力 他的意志力非常强大" So we’ll watch until bone grinds on bone inside Venus’ left knee, until she listens to her father and steps away from the game. 所以我们只能一直看着Venus打下去 直到他的膝盖再也承受不住 听他爸爸的话就此退休 Richard knows. We know. She was out there Wednesday for a second-rounder against Bethanie Mattek-Sands (Venus won in straight sets). She’ll be out there soon enough with Serena, seeded fourth in the doubles. Richard跟我们都知道Venus在星期三对上Bethanie Mattek-Sands 接下来她马上就要去打双打 他们的双打排第四种子 They never listen. They just win championships. 大小威从来就不会听话 他们只会一直赢下冠军 -- --
