随着美国站的临近，相关报道也渐渐增多，我会尽力把其中比较好的内容和喜欢贝雷的朋友分享的。
首先是今日美国对ＢＡ的报道，大部分内容大家都知道了。
他们的大幅训练照片刊登在体育版头条，这对冷门的花滑运动是非常罕见的。两人的神情都非常严肃，即将来临的赛季等待他们的将是怎样的结果呢？

Belbin, Agosto dance to a new tune after coaching switch
By Janice Lloyd, USA TODAY
When U.S. ice dancers Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto step onto the rink at Skate America on Friday, they know the figure skating world will be watching.
After finishing fourth at the world championships last March, a result that Agosto described as a "slap in the face," the duo left behind its longtime coaches in Detroit for a new home near Philadelphia. What IceWorks in Aston, Pa., held for them was an opportunity to train with married Russian coaches Natalia Linichuk and Gennadi Karponosov, Olympic champions whose skaters have dominated Olympic and world competitions.
"I think by the end of the year and going into world championships we'll have programs that if skated well are unbeatable," Belbin said. "Skate America will be the first step."
Belbin and Agosto's silver medal at the 2006 Turin Games set them on a path to become the best U.S. ice dancers in history. They enter this season shooting for a record sixth U.S. championship and the first gold medal for the USA at worlds.
"People will want to see what we've been able to achieve with these new coaches," Belbin said. "They have a reputation for training champions and a lot of people are imagining that they must have this magic wand."
Ice dancing is the only discipline of the four in skating that still requires compulsories in which all skaters repeat the same skill set.
Belbin had a rare fall in compulsories at worlds last year during their Tango. They went into the original dance in fifth place after coming into the event as favorites. World champions Isabelle Delobel and Olivier Schoenfelder of France are scheduled to compete at Skate America.
Belbin said this year their compulsories are better. "What we've learned is amazing," she said. "I see it coming through our skating little by little."
She said the changes translate to more power, speed and confidence.
今年ＢＡ的改变体现在他们的节目将更强，更快，更具信心。
"We want to look more assured on our blades, so there's never any question we're the best ones out there on the ice every time we compete," she said.
Agosto said working with Linichuk and Karponosov is "like learning to skate all over again as opposed to just learning a new style."
Another departure: They perform their free dance to Tosca, a Puccini opera that Belbin said breaks away from their lighter, happier side.
托斯卡将成为他们颠覆自己轻松愉快风格的作品。
"It's the most mature work we've ever done," Agosto said. "It's going to be showing a new side of our personalities. It's tragic and passionate and intense."
Ｂｅｎ说‘这是我们迄今最成熟的作品。它将体现出我们个性中的另一面，悲怆，激情，浓烈。’
They selected the music at the Newark, Del., home of their coaches, sitting together for several nights after practices and listening to a stack of CDs. "We kept saying, 'No, no way,' " Agosto said.
Then Linichuk played Tosca.
"We didn't know if it was our style," said Belbin, who then heard from her coach.
"She said, 'You have no style. You are a blank slate right now. You have barely tapped the surface of what you can achieve and you're really going to break through.' "
Linichuk说，你们还没有形成风格。你们只是一块空白的石板。你们还远未达到你们的能力所及的深度，所以你们必须突破。
For the duo entering its 10th competitive year together, that inspirational talk was all it took to be sold on Tosca and a new style.
"We're really very lucky. We're in great hands," Belbin said. "They know what it takes to become champions."

：
，Ben的衣服正面有点小囧主要是那个红围巾有点夸张。这张还好，不太显。
但他看了节目本身以后改变了想法，他说自己很喜欢这个节目，有趣而有戏剧性。
