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
