Unbelievably busy Sharapova says tennis is still No. 1 Posted: Friday May 11, 2007 5:01PM Maria Sharapova has become an international icon at the tender age of 20, but what she wants most right now is to be healthy and get back to the sport she loves. I caught up with her this week at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., where she was practicing with her coach, Michael Joyce, and her father, Yuri. 記者逮到正在加州練習的莎娃，做個小訪問，莎娃現在最想要的，是保持健康、回到球場上。 "This is the second year in a row I am missing most of the clay court season," she said, "and it is so frustrating not being able to get the matches I need heading into a Grand Slam. But right now I am just taking it one day at a time and my priority is to just get healthy." “這是我連續第二年錯過了大半的紅土比賽，不能在大滿貫比賽前參加這些必需的比賽令人很沮喪。但我現在就是按部就班的，最重要的就是恢復健康狀態。” Maria is battling a nagging injury to her right shoulder, which has bothered her since the beginning of the year. It has affected not only her serve, but also her patience. In talking to Maria, it is apparent how much she loves competing and how much she misses the tension-filled atmosphere that surrounds every match she plays. In stark contrast to many of her starlet predecessors, Maria craves the satisfaction of victory on the court more then adulation off it. Maria 一直跟這個惱人的右肩膀傷搏鬥，這個傷從年初就困擾到現在。那不只影響她的發球，還有她的耐性。跟Maria 談話時，很明顯感受到她多愛競爭、多想那些張力十足的競賽氣氛中。 That's not to say Maria doesn't enjoy the incredible access and opportunity that her status allows her. She has a keen eye for fashion and enjoys the process of collaborating with Nike, the clothing sponsor on her always-evolving line of dresses. She is personally responsible for bringing Nike from the sports pages to the fashion magazines. 但這並非表示Maria 不喜歡她有的機會。她對時尚相當熱中……。 "It all started with the black dress I wore during the U.S. Open last year [which she won incidentally]. I helped design that and everyone loved it, so I have continued to work with the Nike designers, and I enjoy it so much." “都是從我去年在美網穿的黑裙子開始。我參與設計也頗受好評，所以我就繼續跟Nike的設計師合作，我還挺樂在其中的。” Maria isn't the type of person who dreams small or lacks belief in herself, and rightfully so. She is the first female tennis player to successfully transcend the athletic world for that of the fashion world. She was recently the first female athlete on the cover of Teen Vogue, and who could forget her spread in last year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. She was recently featured in a 10-page spread in the March edition of Vogue and was named one of the "10 Best Dressed New Faces" by the magazine. Maria 不是那種只有小小夢想、或是缺乏自信的人，而且理當如此。她是第一個以女性運動員身份登上Teen Vogue封面的……。 She designed the best-selling pink tennis bag for her tennis racket sponsor, Prince, and the new edition of her bag will be debuting soon, as will her new Canon commercial. She also has a successful perfume bearing her name, which she helped create. So you get the picture: This is one busy 20-year-old. She isn't just a tennis player; she is a walking, talking, tennis ball-pounding corporation. (這段我懶得翻XD~) Aside from that, however, she personally updates her Web site, answers fans questions and entertains her supporters with insightful and humorous information. Among the info, her "Dream Mixed Doubles Partner" (John McEnroe, so she would have someone to yell at the umpires with!), "Favorite Spa" (Four Seasons Costa Rica), "Favorite place she wants to go but hasn't been"(Maldives) and "Favorite Movie" (Something's Gotta Give)." 然而，除此之外，她會親自更新個人官網的訊息，回答球迷問題，以一些有洞察力跟幽默的訊息來娛樂大家。像是“夢想的混雙搭檔” (選了John McEnroe，這樣她就有人可以一起對裁判大呼小叫！)， “最愛的Spa”、……。 (這個有趣的，基本上之前都貼過哦。) Maria's "Weekly Doodles" give her fans access and insight in to her life, which sometimes is as simple as practicing and sometimes as spectacular as shooting commercials or attending fashion shows. Suffice to say, she makes the extra effort to let people into her life, giving them the opportunity to know her on and off court. 總之，她做了額外的努力，讓外界可以進入她的生活，有機會在場內外認識她。 However what Maria wants everyone to know the most is that, "Tennis is my priority. I am very aware that I get to do a lot of other fun and exciting things because of my tennis, but it is tennis that I love the most, and I will never lose sight of that." 然而Maria 最想要每個人知道的， “網球是我的優先選擇。我知道因為網球，讓我有很多場外的樂趣與令人興奮的事物。但網球才是我的最愛，我不會失去對網球的抱負。” And that is exactly what her fans want to hear. Get healthy soon, Maria. Hope to see you in Paris. 原文： http://0rz.tw/bd2DW ----- 很多……就是某人懶得翻，因為沒什麼特別訊息。:p 總之…希望還是能好好打法網啦。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.132.180.135 ※ 編輯: jcshie 來自: 220.132.180.135 (05/12 11:29)
