美聯社最近在評選"Athlete of the Decade" 12/16號將會公布最後結果 小威也是候選人之一 在他的主題文章中訪問了很多體壇明星對他的評價 “Serena has redefined women in sports,” says Arlen Kantarian, former U.S. Tennis Association CEO for professional tennis. “This is an athlete who has that very, very unique combination of grit and glamour, power and grace, like no other athlete I’ve come across in the last decade—or two, for that matter. From Johannesburg to Sydney to Paris to Los Angeles to New York to London to Japan, the impact she has made on sport has been extraordinary.” Serena重新定義了運動界中的女性 他是一個獨一無二的充滿魅力.力量.迷人的綜合體 我這十年來..或二十年都沒有看過這樣的運動員 從約翰尼斯堡到雪梨 再到巴黎.洛杉磯.倫敦.紐約.東京 他所帶給這項運動的影響是非凡的 - Arlen Kantarian (前美國網球協會主席) “When you think about what she has done for tennis, it’s kind of the same thing as when you think about Michael Jordan in basketball,” Miami Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown says. 當你想到他在網球中的貢獻 就像你會想到Michael Jordan之於籃球一樣 - Ronnie Brown (NFL Miami Dolphins後衛) “I don’t know how many women of color have picked up rackets because of Serena, but more African-American girls are playing tennis at the highest level of juniors than I can ever remember,” says Patrick McEnroe, who supervises player development for the USTA. “Clearly you’re seeing a lot more interest in tennis from that community.” 我不知道有多少有色人種的女孩是因為Serena而拿起球拍 但現在越來越多黑人女孩在青少女時期就打出最好的水準 很清楚的我們正從這些族群中看到越來越多他們對於網球的興趣 - Patrick McEnroe (前網球選手 美國Davis Cup隊長) “She has won so many championships with hard work and perseverance,” Venus says. “I think she’s at the top of the list, although that may be a biased opinion.” 他憑藉著他的努力與堅持贏得了這麼多冠軍 我想他值得在候選人名單的最頂端 雖然也許我有點偏心 - Venus Williams (網球選手) “I hope she wins,” Boston Celtics star Kevin Garnett says. “She has revolutionized women’s tennis. … She’s definitely a diva, in her own way. But she does it in a very, very classy, quaint way. I’m all for her.” 我希望他贏得這個頭銜 他對女網有革命性的影響 他絕對是個眾所注目的焦點 但他用一種經典.稀有的方式辦到一切 我全力支持他 - Kevin Garnett (NBA球星) “Absolutely I think Serena deserves the consideration,” Clijsters says. “ Serena’s very compelling to watch. She’s an amazing athlete and one of the best competitors the sport has ever seen in the professional era.” 我當然認為Serena值得被提名 他非常值得觀賞 他是個驚人的運動員 也是這項運動自從開放職業年代以來最強的球員之一 - Kim Clijsters (網球選手) “She’s had a huge impact over the world because she is really charismatic,” Henin says. “Strong personalities—that’s what we need. And that’s what she has. I think it’s good for the game, and we need more of that.” 他對全世界有重大的影響 他真的很有魅力 堅韌的特質-這是我們所需要的 也是他所擁有的 我想他對這項運動是好事 我們需要更多這樣的人格特質 - Justine Henin (網球選手) “It’s hard to call her an underachiever, but in my mind she could have been better,” Martina Navratilova says. 很難說他沒達到應有的成就 但在我心裡他可以比現在更好 - Martina Navratilova (前網球冠軍) -- --
