温网今年迈入第125届 官网也开始一连串的温网传奇名将回顾 以下是大威的专文 http://www.wimbledon.com/heritage/history/legends/venus-williams Venus Williams Singles: 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008 Doubles: 2000, 2002, 2008, 2009 Rob McLean She may not be the best player in her own family, but when it comes to Wimbledon, Venus just about holds the bragging rights over her younger sister. With five titles to Serena's four, and, considering that her three defeats in the final at the All England Club all came from Serena, Venus has to date been the Williams' Wimbledon champion. 在自己家里他也许不是最出色的选手 但是到了温布顿 Venus有更多在Serena面前自夸的权利 他手握五个温网 正领先Serena的四个 考虑到他还有另外三个在决赛中输给Serena的亚军奖盘 Venus目前在威廉丝家绝对是无可争议的温网冠军 The life and career of Venus sounds so far-fetched that Hollywood would have probably turned down the script. The story began on the public courts of Compton, the crime-ridden neighbourhood in Los Angeles, where she was taught to play by her father Richard, who mapped out the tennis careers of his children even before they had been born. Venus Williams的生活简直可以到好莱坞去改写成电影 这个故事从美国贫民区.犯罪丛生的洛杉矶康普顿公共球场开始 在那里 他的爸爸Richard开始对他的网球启蒙 而这个计画甚至从孩子们出生前 爸爸就已经一手规划好了 Once they were old enough, they hit for six hours a day with old rackets against a wall or on a pot-holed court, while their father barked instructions from a manual. As a result they started competing before the age of five. 直到两姊妹年纪够大 他们开始每天六小时.以旧球拍对着墙壁或在布满坑洞的球场训练 而他们的爸爸则参考教学手册来教导他们 这样的生活从五岁即开始至今 By the age of 10, Venus’s serve had already reached 100mph. In 1994 she turned professional and, at 14, proved she was the real deal with her first WTA Tour victory. For father Richard it was total vindication of his hard work. "That's one for the ghetto!" he said at the press conference after her win. 到了十岁时 Venus的发球已经可以达到时速100英里 他於1994年正式转入职业 并且首战即获胜 证明了爸爸的苦心并未白费 他在赛後的记者会上说"这都为了对抗贫穷!" The Williams' sisters arrival on the scene was a breath of fresh air and they have given the women's game a higher profile as well as adding a whole new level of power and athleticism. One wonders what the game would have done without them. 威廉丝姊妹的到来给了网坛注入了新鲜气息 他们创下许多女网纪录 并且也提高了力量及运动能力的等级 球迷们或许会讶异如果没有他们 现在的女网会是如何 Venus's stand out year was 2000 when she won the US Open, Wimbledon and the gold medal at the Sydney Olympics. Her victory over Lindsay Davenport at the All England Club made her the first female African American champion since Althea Gibson. Venus独领风骚的时候是在2000年 当年他一口气拿下了温网.美网.雪梨奥运金牌 在温网决赛中他打败了Lindsay Davenport 也使他成为继Althea Gibson之後第一位非裔美国冠军 Further victories over Justine Henin (2001), Davenport again (2005) and from match point down, Marion Bartoli (2007) and Serena (2008), established the elder Williams as one of the dominant forces on the lawns of SW19, and she isn't finished yet. 随後他在其他决赛中分别击败了Justine Henin (2001) 在2005的决赛中救回冠军点再度击败Davenport 另外还有击败Marion Bartoli (2007) 以及妹妹Serena (2008) 这位较年长的威廉丝奠定了自己在SW19主宰力量的权威 而他的网球生涯甚至还未结束 As well as honours, plaudits and money beyond her wildest dreams, there have been downsides. She has at times been subjected to racism and also had to deal with the death of her half-sister in a gangland shooting on the very courts she once practised on. 但在一切荣誉.喝采.财富的背後 他也必须面对许多的低迷 他曾数度面对种族歧视的批评 并且还面对了同母异父姊姊在他儿时训练球场附近遭到枪杀的悲剧 But with seven Grand Slams, Venus is established as an all-time great. Despite numerous off court interests as she approaches her 31st birthday, the game still appears to be her No 1 priority. With only one Wimbledon singles title short of equalling Billie Jean King and two behind Steffi Graf, there is a lot to play for, although Martina Navratilova's nine titles may prove a step too far. 但坐拥七座大满贯的他早已挤身历史伟人之列 尽管有场外兴趣 而他也将年逾31 他仍将网球摆在心中的首要位置 目前他仅需一座温网即可追平Billie Jean King 距离Steffi Graf也仅有两座之遥 还有很多努力空间 虽然Martina Navratilova的九座对他来说还是遥不可及 -- 哔哔哔哔哔 老师不通阻挡 哔哔哔哔哔 像弹力球 我爱你爱我的角度 甜蜜诱惑 跟谢金燕妹妹尬舞使人这呢感动 你爱我爱你的热度 送你偶伊偶 哔哔哔哔哔 像着了魔 我今夜同你带路 一齐快乐 就算是盲目的感动只有一千秒钟 你今夜给我吻过 就属你最好 哔哔哔哔哔 有你最好 --
