唉,说到虐,我想起美锦赛之后的另一个访问,记者(非常欠扁,专往人家伤口上撒盐)问Evan对Jeff和小兰退役,新人抢班夺权的潮流怎么看。他说:‘Jeff和Stephane都是我的好朋友,他们的退役是花滑界的损失。新秀们的实力非常强,男单总体会保持很高的水准,所以要从竞争中脱颖而出依然困难重重。只是没有他们的比赛一切都将不同了,我会想念他们的。’
"The competition won’t be the same without them, I’ll miss them."
四大洲后有记者问他对美国队世锦赛名单的想法,他诚恳地说,‘尽管媒体热衷于炒作我和Johnny Weir之间的竞争,但我们从来都没有希望对方滑得不好过。我为他(未能入选国家队而)感到遗憾,我想所有支持他的冰迷和许多人都是这样想的。’
"As heated as the rivalry between Johnny Weir and I got we never wished each other a bad skate, so I was disappointed for him and I think all of his fans were and a lot of people."
06冬奥的男单前八名,今年能参加LA世锦赛的就只剩下Brian和Evan了,岁月真无情。所以在他掷地有声地说出‘I wanted to prove the old guys aren't going out.’的那一刻,心里突然有种悲壮苍凉,让人肃然起敬的感觉油然而生,为他,也为属于他们的那个年代。
