Player Of The Year: Serena On the 70th birthday of the ultimate WTA legend, Billie Jean King, another WTA legend - Serena Williams - has been named the WTA's Player Of The Year for the fifth time in her illustrious career. 在女网传奇Billie Jean King的七十大寿同一天，另一位女网传奇Serena Williams 获颁WTA年度球员奖，这是他成就斐然的生涯中第五次获得该奖。 PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL, USA - Was there really any doubt? She didn't just put together the best season of anyone in 2013, she put together one of the very best seasons in the history of women's tennis - and so, for the fifth time, Serena Williams is the WTA's Player Of The Year. 在2013年Serena创造了女网史上最佳的赛季之一，并因此第五度拿下WTA年度球员奖。 Williams' numbers on the year were incredible: 11 WTA titles, the most since Martina Hingis won 12 in 1997; 78 match wins, the most since Kim Clijsters won 90 in 2003; $12,385,572 in prize money, smashing the previous record of $7,923,920, set by Victoria Azarenka in 2012; and, most amazingly, her reclaiming of World No.1 on February 18 made her the oldest World No.1 in WTA history. Serena在今年的数据惊人：十一座冠军（自Hingis在1997拿下十二座之後最多），78场 胜仗（自Clijsters在2003拿下90场後最多），年度奖金突破1238万美金，远超过此前由 Azarenka去年创下的792万美金纪录，此外最惊人的是在二月十八重登世界第一宝座，也 是WTA史上最高龄的世界第一。 Of all of her accomplishments in 2013, Williams pointed to one in particular as a stand-out memory. 在所有今年的成就中，Serena选择了一个特别突出的经历。 "Well, obviously the French Open was probably the thing that stands out most," she said. "I really wanted to win that for a number of years now, so that was definitely something exciting. And also being undefeated on clay was pretty exciting too. So my results on clay this year definitely stand out. "Overall I'll remember the wins, but I also want to learn from my mistakes so I don't repeat them." 「法网或许是最特别的，我真的想再赢这个冠军好几年了，所以当然这是特别兴奋的， 能全年在土场不败也很让人兴奋，今年在土场的成就绝对是最特别的。但整体说来虽然 我会记得这些胜利，但也想从失败中学习，这样就不会再犯同样的错。」 Not only do Williams' numbers tell the story of an historic season, but they put her in a position to make even more history in 2014 - by winning the French and US Opens this year she pushed her career haul of Grand Slams to 17, one away from Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, who both won 18, which ties them for second place in the Open Era. Steffi Graf is the Open Era leader with 22 Grand Slam titles. Serena所创下的数字不只局限於这历史性的一年，同时也让他在2014有更多创下纪录的 机会，在拿下法网、美网後，他的大满贯数字已经推到17座，距离开放年代并列第二的 Evert与Navratilova仅有一座之遥，而Graf则以22座占据开放年代第一宝座。 But for Williams it's always one at a time, and her sights are currently set on the Australian Open. 但Serena总是希望一步一步来，他的眼光现在放在了澳网上。 "It's never too far away," Williams said about the Happy Slam. "There will be 127 other players there who have the same thoughts as I have. I hope to be the one standing up at the end, and it's for sure my next goal, but seeing as I didn't do as well as I wanted to there the past couple of years, my goal this time is just to go a year in Australia without twisting an ankle. That's all I'm going to start with." 「冠军之路并不远，但还有127位选手跟我有一样的念头，我想要成为最後唯一的一位， 这肯定是我的下个目标，但过去几年我没有像我所希望的那样有好表现，所以我这次的 第一个目标只是希望能不要在澳洲扭伤脚踝。」 And even though she only lost four matches in 2013 - and she pushed all of them to three sets, mind you - Williams still believes there's even more to add to her game. "I have some areas where I can do a lot better for next year and I look forward to it," she said. "There are a lot of things. I don't really want to discuss them, but there's definitely a lot of things I can add to my game, a multitude of things." 虽然他今年只输了四场比赛，且全部都是三盘落败，但Serena仍相信自己可以在球技上 有更多进步。「在某些地方我觉得我明年可以做得更好，我并不想直接讨论是哪些，但 绝对有更多东西是我可以加入进来的。」 This is the fifth time Williams has won the WTA's Player Of The Year Award, having also received the honor in 2002, 2008, 2009 and 2012. Only two other players have been named the WTA's Player Of The Year five or more times, namely Graf (who won it eight times) and Navratilova (seven times). 这次是Serena生涯中第五次拿下WTA年度选手奖，过去在2002、2008、2009、2012他都曾 获颁该奖，仅有两位选手比他获奖次数更多－Graf（八次）与Navratilova（七次）。 --
