WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP)—Playing her best at the most important events, Serena Williams re-established herself as the top player in women’s tennis in 2009 and was a landslide choice as Female Athlete of the Year by members of The Associated Press. 在最重要的比赛有最好的发挥 Serena再度让自己站上了女网颠峰 并且也是美联社成员心中最佳女运动员的选择 Williams received 66 of 158 votes cast by editors at U.S. newspapers that are members of the AP. No other candidate got more than 18 votes in the tally, which was announced Tuesday. 在158张票中Serena获得66票 没有其他人拿到十八票以上 Clearly, Williams’ most infamous on-court episode—a tirade directed at a line judge after a foot-fault call near the end of her U.S. Open semifinal loss in September—didn’t hurt her standing in the eyes of the voters. 当然Serena最近的美网事件没有影响到他在投票人眼中的地位 “People realize that I’m a great player, and one moment doesn’t define a person’s career,” Williams told the AP. “And I was right, for the most part: It wasn’t right the way I reacted—I never said it was—but I was right about the call.” "大家知道我是个好选手 一个时刻不能完全定义一个人的生涯全部 这不是个正确的反应方式 我从来没说过这是对的 但对於脚误判决结果我是对的" She also noted that the outburst, which resulted in a record fine and two-year probationary period at Grand Slam tournaments, “got a lot more people excited about tennis.” 他也说到这使他创下罚款纪录以及两年观察期的失控事件让更多人对网球有兴趣 The 28-year-old American tends to do that, thanks to her powerful, athletic play and her outgoing personality. 由於他的力量.运动能力以及外放的性格 这位二十八岁的美国人有足够的吸引力 “We can attribute the strength and the growth of women’s tennis a great deal to her,” WTA chairman and CEO Stacey Allaster said in a telephone interview. “She is a superstar.” "我们得把女网的成长茁壮一大部分归功於他 他是个超级巨星" WTA的CEO Allaster说 Williams, who is based in Florida, also won the AP award in 2002, a seven-year gap that is the longest between AP Female Athlete of the Year honors since golf’s Patty Berg won in 1943 and 1955. 现居佛州的Serena在2002也曾得过美联社这项大奖 时隔七年 是继1943-1955高尔夫的Patty Berg之後最长的间距 “I’m just happy and blessed to even be playing seven years later. All this is a bonus, really,” Williams said. “In 2002, I just was really dominant, and I think in 2009, I just brought that back. I kind of became that player again.” "在七年之後还能继续打球我已经很高兴并且感到被庇佑了 所有事情都是bonus 在2002的时候我真的很有主宰力 我想在2009年我把这个能力找了回来 我又成为那样的选手了" Runner-up in the AP voting was Zenyatta, who capped a 14-0 career by becoming the first female horse to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic. 美联社投票的亚军是Zenyatta 他是一只拥有14-0站绩成为首匹能赢得赛马大赛的母马 Tennis’ Kim Clijsters finished third with 16 votes. 网球的Kim Clijsters则获得十六票 -- --
