＃５　June 24, 2011 Ask Rafa: winning titles are more important than my ranking Rafael Nadal 贏下冠軍是比我的排名更重要的。 1. Do you think there is a point in Serena Williams’s moan recently about some players always get to play at the show courts and others (like her) get moved around? Sharon Lam Ｑ 你認為最近小威對某些球員總是在大球場比賽而其他人(像是她)則移到外圍球場的不滿 有意義嗎？ RN: I don't think I should go into this discussion. I don't know really the problem and didn't ask her or the scheduling people. Should hear both before any comments RN: 我不認為我應該參與這個討論。我並不真的瞭解這個問題，而且沒有去問過他或是 安排賽程的人員。在任何評論前應該要聽過雙方的說法。 2. If you were to give one tip about temperament, and how you manage to pick yourself up after a fall, what would it be? Tom Ｑ 如果你要提供一個關於性格的提點，在一場比賽失利之後你會如何提昇自己，有什麼 建議？ RN: Don't really know what you mean. I think I have a good temperament though.... RN: 我不是很瞭解你的意思。雖然我認為我個性不錯... 3. Every time you lift the Conde De Godo trophy after winning the Barcelona Open I’m scared you’ll injure yourself. Is that the heaviest and largest trophy that you have ever won? Atch Ｑ 每次你在贏下巴塞隆納公開賽後要舉起Conde De Godo獎盃時，我都很怕你會傷了你 自己。那是你曾經贏過最重、最大的獎盃嗎？ RN: ME TOO! It is really heavy but the feeling to win it is too good to realize! RN: 我也是！它真的很重，但是贏球的感覺太棒了以至於沒有意識到！ 4. Routines and rituals are commonplace in many sports but you seem to use them a lot. In what way do you think they help you perform better (if at all)? Do you think you pay more attention to them in high pressure situations such as the changeover before a key game? Robin Ｑ 例行公事跟習慣在很多運動中是司空見慣的，但你似乎用得很多。你認為在什麼方面是 有助你表現得更好(如果有)？你認為在高壓力的情況之下，你會放更多的注意力在他們 上頭嗎，像是在關鍵一局前的換場時？ RN: I think they help my concentration and to know what I have to do but it doesn't change anything if for example the bottles I carefully put on the floor fall. In a few words, it is more a habit but not really a change if I don't do it. RN: 我認為那有助於我的專注力而且知道我必須要做什麼，但並不會改變任何事情，例如 我仔細地在地上擺好的水瓶倒了。簡單地說，它比較是一種習慣但如果我沒有做也 不會真的有什麼改變。 5. What would you do if a player knocked over your water bottles at a change of end in an effort to psyche you out? Ｑ 如果有球員努力要讓你精神崩潰而在換場時弄倒你的水瓶，你會做什麼？ RN: Nothing would change, really. RN: 不會有什麼改變，真的。 6. What do you write on the tape on your fingers? Renata Ｑ 你在你手指頭上的膠布上寫了什麼？ RN: Nothing, it is only the way they are. RN: 什麼都沒有，就只是他們該有的樣子。 7. I noticed that lately you've been hanging out and practising with Feliciano Lopez a lot. Who schedules your practice and your partner? Celeste Ｑ 我注意到最近你很常和Feliciano Lopez一起打發時間跟練習。是誰安排你的練習跟 對象？ RN: Normally it is Toni who arranges it. But sometimes I speak to Feli on this particular case. RN: 一般是Toni安排。但有時候在這種特別的情況，是我自己跟Feli說的。 8. Have you ever doubted your ability to reach the top? When you were starting your career as a pro did you ever think ‘wow, this is tougher than I expected?’ Janice Ｑ 你曾經對自己能否達到頂端的能力產生懷疑嗎？當你開始你的職業生涯成為一名職業 球員時，你曾經想過「哇，這比我所預期的要困難多了」？ RN: Actually you never think about that. You only tend to think about being a professional player and you start setting up goals little by little. You really never think at a young age about being at the top. You just want to play and compete RN: 事實上你從來沒有想過。你只是考慮要成為一名職業球員，並且開始一點一點地設定 目標。年輕的時候，你真的不會去想到位在世界頂尖。你只是想要比賽與競爭。 9. If you lose your world No 1 ranking, how will you react? Will it hurt? Will it make you more determined? Or will you just shrug your shoulders and say ‘hey, my time will come again’? Jon C Ｑ 如果你失去世界第一，你會有什麼反應？會感到受傷嗎？會讓你更加堅定嗎？或者你 只是聳聳肩然後說「Hey，我的時代會再次來臨」？ RN: I don't really care that much. I don't think it is as important as winning the big tournaments. If I lose that #1 position that would mean that someone else has been better and I will have to continue improving! RN: 我真的不太在意。我不認為它跟贏下大賽一樣的重要。如果我失去排名第一的位置， 那代表著有其他人更優秀，而我必須要繼續進步！ 10. Why do women get criticised for grunting, yet the men seem just as bad? Scott F Ｑ 為什麼女子球員因為叫喊聲而受到批評，然而男子球員似乎一樣吵(卻沒事)？ RN: Good question. Do they get criticized? Do we do the same? RN: 好問題。她們有被批評嗎？我們有做一樣的事嗎？ -- █ █ ◢█◣ █◣█◣◣ ██◣ ◢██ ██◣ ◢█◣ ███ ◢█◣ ██ ˙╭╮ █ █ █▋█ █ █ █ █▋█ ███ █▋█ █▋█ █▋ █▋█ ██ ╭█│* █ █ ███ █ █ █ █▋█ █▅▅ ██◤ ███ ███ ███ ██ ██┘ ◥◣◤ █▋█ █ █ █ ◥██ ▅▅◤ █◥◣ █▋█ █▋ █▋█ ▄▄ ＊ φRacheliu --
