小威的公开信 To Be Honest, I Believe I Reached My Boiling Point Posted by: Serena Williams Hey Guys! As the world seems to know or for those who don't I want to speak about my recently dubbed "outburst" and how I feel. 我想谈谈我对於这次失控事件的感受 I have recently been fined by the Grand Slam Committee of the ITF (International Tennis Federation) over 82 thousand dollars for getting mad and using the "F-bomb" at a line Judge. 我最近被ITF的大满贯委员会罚了八万两千元 原因是因为对线审发怒并且骂f-words To clear things up FIRST I was NOT fined 82 thousand dollars. I was fined 92 thousand dollars! I paid 10 thousand dollars on site immediately after the U. S. Open. So for the record, I was fined $92,000 not $82,000! The biggest fine EVER in tennis. 首先我要说我并不是只被罚八万二 因为我在美网当下已经先罚了一万 所以实际上是九万二! 这是网球史上最大张罚单 Also for all those that don't know, I felt incredibly bad, and miserable for losing my cool, and most importantly not representing the person I really am spiritually and the role model I want to be to my young fans. I have been a very feisty player all my life, but when the time came for me to be calm and cool, I did not exercise a mild temper. How I regret not being a better role model and person to all of my fans. I apologized to my fans and even wrote a personal letter to the lines woman with my apologies. She understood as she often witnesses this as it is not uncommon in my sport, or any other sport. She was extremely supportive and said that she did not think any further actions should be taken against me. 我要跟所有不知道的人说 我真的感觉糟透了 失去冷静的感觉很悲惨 最重要的是我没有表现出我平常的性格 以及没有做好我想要给年轻球迷们的好榜样 我一直都是个喧闹的人 但是当我需要冷静下来的时候 我从来不需要练习控制情绪 我真的很抱歉在我的球迷面前没有做好一个榜样 也没有做一个更好的人 我向球迷们道歉 後来还写了封道歉信给女线审 他表示能理解我的行为 他常常看见在运动中有情绪性的事件 所以并不是太陌生 他很支持我 并且说他没有想要对我采取其他行动 A few years ago in a most important match being watched my millions; I was blatantly cheated and robbed of a US Open title by yet another official. I was again on the wrong side of not one or two, but several other bad calls. This incident however changed tennis. Because of what was incorrectly done to me, the whole sport of tennis adapted new technology for a player to challenge the calls lines persons make if the player feels they were wronged. I was expected to take solace in the fact even though I lost the U.S Open title (a dream I've been working for since I was 2 years old). At least others won't be wronged in the future. I am always happy for the next person. I always am. I received apologies from the USTA, the Lines Official, and the Head of the US Open. However I don't recall EVER receiving a note, a phone call, a letter even a text from anyone at the Grand Slam Committee ITF apologizing about the wrong and disastrous call one of THEIR officials made. 几年前发生一件重大的事 我的美网争冠机会被裁判抢走了 有很多误判都针对我 这个事件改变了网球 整个网球後来适应了新的科技 允许球员能够在比赛挑战线审判决 虽然我丢掉了争夺美网的机会(这是我两岁以来的梦想) 7但却感到了一点安慰 至少在未来球员们不再会遭受错误判决 我为後辈们感到高兴 我後来收到了线审.美国网协以及美网高层的道歉 但我从来没有收到大满贯委员会的 一张纸条.一通电话或是一封信 甚至一个简讯 对於他们官员之一造成的错误道歉 When I was a teenager I was booed by an entire packed stadium at Indian Wells. In my new book "On the line" I talk about how I remember crying on every changeover in the towel. Praying and wishing I could lose and the match would just be done with. When the match was over I thanked the crowd those that cheered for me, and even those that did not. Looking back I am still amazed how I remained so calm and positive, and even managed to come out on top. 当我还未成年时 在Indian Wells我被全场观众嘘 在我的自传中有提到这件事 我记得当时在换边时我拿着毛巾哭 祈祷能撑下去结束比赛 即使输球也没关系 当比赛结束 我谢谢那些支持我的观众 甚至也感谢嘘我的人 回顾之前的事件 我仍然很惊讶我能够这麽理性.正面 甚至最後夺冠 The fact is every professional athlete gets wronged in one way or another. And every athlete gets upset. We have been working, sacrificing, missing out on numerous things, things we will never get back or experience for the sake of our careers. For the sake of that one moment in time where we have a chance to shine through. 事实上每个职业运动员都可能在比赛中受到很多形式的误判 每个运动员也都会沮丧 我们为了这些目标已经工作.牺牲.错过了很多东西 有些东西是我们人生中无法重来的 特别是那些我们可能闪耀自己的机会 Imagine for 20 years working day in, day out, sacrificing on countless things to get this job, that will make all your hard work and endless efforts worthwhile. Try to imagine having that promotion in one moment being taken away from you because of a slight over sight, by someone overseeing your work. 20 years gone away. Time to start over, dust yourself off and try again. You work harder make positive changes. It happens again. 想想如果二十年都在做一样的事 牺牲了无数的其他事情来投入这个工作 才能使你的所有努力跟无尽的奋斗得到应有的价值 想想因为其他人一点点的视觉误差 你的二十年就这样消失不见 然後你重新振作 再试一次 你试着更努力让好事发生 可是事情居然重演 "Dust yourself off" you say. "Try again" 你告诉自己"振作起来 再试一次" You do just that. You work even harder than before, spend longer hours. Then it happens yet again. Another slight oversight. 你做到了 你更努力的工作 花更多时间准备 但是惨剧再度发生 又一次错误 Well this is what happened to me, and to be honest I believe I reached my boiling point. After yet ANOTHER wrong call I began to wonder- Was I being "overlooked" or wrongly judged on purpose!??? Is this being done to keep me from achieving my best? Why does this keep happening at the same place? 这就是发生在我身上的事情 坦白说我想我当时已经到达我的沸点 在另外一次误判後我想我到底是不是被故意被误判的 我会因为这样又失去了攀上我最好表现的机会? 为什麽相同的事情一直发生在同个地点? Throughout my career I have remained calm. But I guess I finally reached my breaking point. A point I should have never allowed myself to get to. Everything seemed to have surfaced. As you know, losing my cool cost me over 92 thousand dollars. 92 thousand dollars! This is more than most people make in a year. 92 thousand dollars! Answer this: Why is it another player who also lost HIS cool not to a line judge - like I did - but to the main officiating judge- using the same "f word" why was HE only fined 10 thousand dollars. Was what I did 10 times worse than what he did?! 在我的生涯中 我一直都很冷静 但这次我想我终於到了临界点 一个我从来不允许自己到达的地方 每件事情似乎都浮现出来 失去冷静的结果是我花了九万二 九万二! 这比很多人一年赚的钱都还多 但是请回答这个问题 为什麽一个男选手失去冷静 就像我一样 但他不是对线审骂脏话 而是直接对主审用f-words 但他最後只被罚一万 难道我的行为比他糟十倍? [好像是Brydan Klein种族歧视事件 我有点忘了] There is another HE who was fined less than half of what I was fined after someone in his camp actually physically ATTACKED an official!!!! 另外一个男选手罚得比我的一半还少 他甚至直接攻击裁判! [Jeff Tarango在1990年代有一次跟主审握手时直接把主审从椅子上拉下来] What about the famous HE who made arguing with officials "cool". Cool for "MEN" I guess. Is it because they are all HE's and not a SHE like me? 另外一个知名的男选手很爱用"很酷"的方式跟裁判争执 [John McEnroe] well 我想这种酷只限用於男性 是因为他们是男选手 而不像我是个女人? It is indeed a massive difference. Being American I guess the 1st amendment, freedom of speech, does not apply to a SHE in this case? In any event the Grand Slam Committee, ITF and its staff did not hesitate to call, send a note, text, nor write letters after this incident. Ironic is it not? 这是个明显的差异 作为一个美国人 最重要的言论自由居然对我这个女人不适用? 大满贯委员.ITF.其他工作人员都没想过在事件过後要打个电话.给我个讯息或是一封信 会不会太冷酷无情? I don't mind being fined. If I did wrong I accept the repercussions. All I ask for is to be treated equal. 我不介意被罚款 我做错了就会接受惩罚 但我唯一的请求只是被平等对待 When I was fined the 92K, I asked to see if I could donate some of it to different schools, and programs I'm involved in. My request was denied. So, I decided to match the fine by raising money and donating an additional 92K to my 2nd school that I am opening up in Africa, as well as to schools that I am helping here in the United States. I also want to educate women about what I learned from this whole experience. How we as women are still treated as less than equal. I am going to turn this 92K into a positive!!! And I have decided to call it Serena's 92K mission!!! Go to Serenawilliams.com to learn more about my 92K mission. 当我被罚九万二 我问能否捐一部分给学校 或是给一些我参与的公益计画 他们拒绝了我的请求 所以我决定捐出同额的金额在非洲开第二间学校 还有我在美国本土帮助的一些学校 我也希望让女性们看到并从我的经验中学习 我们仍然被不平等的对待 我会把这次九万二的教训化为正面 我决定称他为Serena的九万二任务! 上我的官网去了解更多细节 Xxxx, Serena Williams -- --
