今天在網上無意中翻到一篇今年一月在澳洲abc.net上的文章，看來是澳網費德勒剛連續
第10年打入澳網半決賽時發的。覺得寫得很好，碰巧今天也有一點時間就翻譯了。我的讀
後感~奶粉看了會覺得“於我心有戚戚焉”，不喜歡費德勒的看了還是會不喜歡他。之所
以這麼說是因為文章源自其作者某天聽到一個不喜歡費德勒的人說的一些話~
How will tennis cope when Roger goes?
當Roger離開後 網球將如何?
I heard a woman call in to a talkback radio show the other day.
這天我聽到一個女人打電話到一個電台節目。
Beryl from Gladstone Park, or something like that.
這個人叫Beryl，好像是來自一個叫什麼Gladstone Park的地方。
Something was annoying her and she was going to nip it in the bud. Right
there and then. There'd be no more discussion.
感覺好像有什麼東西讓她煩著然後她必須要立刻發洩出來的樣子。不是要來討論問題的
架勢。
"I'm tired of everyone going on about how amazing Roger Federer is."
“我對每個人不停贊羅傑費德勒有多麼的優秀感到厭煩。”
There was a pause, before the presenter replied... "Well, he is."
片刻的停頓後，主持人回答說“他是（很優秀）。”
But Beryl wasn't finished.
但是這個 Beryl還沒發表完意見。 （她繼續說）
"He is adored beyond reason and idolised to the detriment of other players."
”他被人超乎常理地喜歡和崇拜著，這對其他球員不公平。“
It was safe to say she wasn't a Fed fan and will be quite happy when he
eventually retires.
很明顯她不是一個費德勒的粉絲，而當費德勒退役時她一定會相當快樂。
It may bring Beryl some comfort to think that day will come some time in the
next four or five years.
也許想到再過4/5年的光景他就會退役了，Beryl會感覺略為安慰。
I hope it does bring Beryl some comfort, because it certainly doesn't bring
any comfort to me, or to any of the hundreds of millions of people worldwide
who truly love the sport.
我希望這個想法確實能給Beryl帶來一些安慰，因為這確實無法給我任何的快慰，對世界
各地成百萬千萬的熱愛體育的人們也同樣不會有任何快慰。
That day will be a black day.
（費德勒退役的）那天將會是一個黑色的日子。
Even if you don't like Federer, if you care about the sport, that day should
fill you with dread.
就算你不喜歡費德勒，如果你在乎體育，那一天將會令你感覺害怕。
The day Federer retires, the sport will lose its biggest gem.
當費德勒退役的那天，體育界將會失去其中最大的一個寶石。
Tennis will still be popular, but not as popular.
網球將還會受歡迎，但不會再那麼受歡迎。
Wimbledon will still be huge, but not as huge.
溫布敦還是很特別，但不會再那麼特別。
The loss of Roger Federer will leave a gaping hole in the sport.
失去費德勒，體育界將會有一個斷裂的空洞。
For a start, tennis will lose the biggest statistical freak it's ever seen.
首先，網球將會失去一個空前的最最大的紀錄“狂”。
Roger Federer's record in the sport is on a par with Don Bradman's batting
average, if not better.
羅傑費德勒在體育史上的紀錄是和Don Bradman平均的擊球成績是同一層次的，如果不說
是更好的話。 （Don Bradman布萊德曼是澳洲著名的板球傳奇人物，已故，他是一位被世
界公認為歷史上最偉大的板球手。布萊德曼的生涯擊球場成績平均是99.94，這數據被稱
之為在各大體育賽事中最偉大的成就。）
The most Grand Slam singles titles of any male, most finals, most
semi-finals, most weeks at number one...those feats are incredible in
themselves, but there are others that beggar belief.
他是男子網球選手中擁有最多單打大滿貫冠軍的，最多場決賽次數的，最多場半決賽次數
的，最多位居世界第一的周數的。 。 。這些紀錄本身已經很偉大，但還有更多的紀錄是
令人咋舌的。
After beating Jo Wilfried Tsonga in their quarter-final, Federer has now
reached ten consecutive semi-finals at the Australian Open.
在（2013澳網）1/4決賽打敗松加之後，費德勒已經連續第10年打入澳網的半決賽。
Ten years in a row he's reached the last four.
連續10年他都打入4強。
His match against Tsonga was his 35th consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final.
而他對松加的這場是他第35次連續打入大滿貫的8強。
Only five other men have even played the last 35 Grand Slams.
其實另外僅有5個男球員全部打完了過去的35個大滿貫賽事。
Rafa hasn't, Novak hasn't, Andy hasn't.
拉法還沒有。諾瓦克還沒有。安迪還沒有。
None of the players who have has won a single one.
而那全部打完過去的35個大滿貫賽事的5個其他球員根本連一個大滿貫都沒有贏過。
That's eight years, almost nine years of making the last eight at every Grand
Slam.
那是8年，幾乎9年的時間在每一個大滿貫裡都打到8強階段。
No injuries, no illness, no early round upsets.
沒有傷，沒有病，沒有在早輪比賽被爆出局。
That's freakish.
那是相當奇異的。
As big a hole as he'll leave statistically, it's the one he'll leave
aesthetically that I'm more worried about.
比起（他退役後）給紀錄方面留下的大空洞而言，他在審美角度方面留下的斷層是我更為
憂慮的。
No-one in the history of the sport has made the game look as pretty as
Federer does.
在體育史上從未有人像費德勒一樣；令網球看起來如此美好。
These days, the courts, the balls, everything has been slowed down.
現今，球場也罷，球也罷，所有的東西都被弄慢下來了。
The modern game is all about power, movement and endurance.
現代網球變成了力量，移動和耐力的較量。
Federer shows there's still a place for elegance, shot-making, volleying.
費德勒讓大家看到網球還能有優雅，擊球策略，和上網。
When he goes, there'll be one fewer single-handed backhand - the most
beautiful of all shots.
當他離開，網球會少一個單反- 所有擊球動作中最美麗的一個。
Fewer rallies ended by an exquisite backhand drop volley.
當他離開，能由一個精緻的反手吊球來結束的連續對拉將會變得少了。
Plenty of players move as quickly as Federer, quicker even, but none move as
beautifully.
有很多球員能像費德勒移動那麼快，甚至比他還要快，但是沒有人能和他一樣移動得如此
優美。
The head barely moves, the feet dance.
他的頭幾乎不動。他的雙腳在舞蹈。
Give Zinedine Zidane a racquet, or Mikhail Baryshnikov, and you have Roger
Federer.
給齊內丁·齊達內（法國著名足球球王），或者米哈伊·巴雷什尼科夫（俄羅斯籍被公認
為20世紀最出色的芭蕾舞藝術家之一）一個網球拍，你就得到了羅傑費德勒。
Tennis is becoming paint by numbers. Federer is Monet.
網球是由數字而描畫出來的作品。費德勒就是莫納（法國畫家，印象派代表人物和創始人
之一。）
Expressive, unexpected, inspired. Classical and avant garde at the same time.
充滿表現力，出人意料，令人振奮。集古典和創新的前衛於一體。
And nothing sells tennis better than Federer.
還有就是，沒有什麼比費德勒更能“推銷”網球。
He is the ultimate in marketability.
他在網球推廣中起了決定性的的作用。
Rafa's popular, but not in the same ballpark as Federer.
拉法也很受歡迎，但他沒有受歡迎到費德勒那個程度。
The Swiss helps tennis compete for air time and column inches with the likes
of Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, David Beckham, Michael Schumacher and Lance
Armstrong.....oh wait, scrap that last one.
這個瑞士人幫助網球爭奪電視播出時段和報紙出版的版面，他的競爭對手是（其他體育類
別的比如）喬丹（籃球），伍茲（高爾夫），貝克漢姆（足球），舒馬赫（賽車）以及阿
姆斯壯（自行車）。 。 。哦，等一下，把最後一個名字劃掉。
During a press conference the other day, Roger Federer was asked what he
would've been if he hadn't been a tennis player.
那天在一個新聞發布會中，費德勒被問到如果他沒有成為一個網球員他會在做什麼。
He said he'd probably have been a fairly average soccer player.
他回答說他也許會是一個非常普通的足球運動員。
How happy would that have made Beryl? How much poorer would that have made
the world of sport?
如果真是那樣的話，那個叫Beryl的人會有多高興呢？如果真是那樣的話，體育世界該會
有多麼可憐呢？
