Figure Skating: Joubert blames private problems for his performance Feb 17, 2010
Joubert把昨天的表现归因于Private problem (我实在是没明白这个Private Problem到底指什么)
Vancouver (AFP) - Former world champion Brian Joubert on Wednesday blamed problems in his private life for his performance in the men's figure skating short programme in Vancouver.
前世界冠军Joubert周三将头一天短节目的表现归因于他的个人(私人?不可告知的?)生活问题。
Touted as among the gold medal favourites to challenge the likes of defending champion Yevgeny Plushenko, the 2007 world champion fell during his routine and is now out of the medals in 18th ahead of the free skating.
之前被视为有望挑战普鲁申科以争夺奥运金牌的热门人选,07年世界冠军在短节目中摔倒,已无望奖牌,暂列第18位。
"My problems come from outside the ice rink, from my personal life. I lost a lot of energy outside the ice rink," explained the 25-year-old.
他解释说“我的问题来自于冰场以外,来自我的个人生活。我在冰场以外耗费了很多精力。”
"I have to change some things in my attitude. The last two years, my attitude hasn't been the way it should be."
“我需要在我的心态、态度上作一些改变。过去的两年里,我的态度不是它应该是的那样。”
"I'm not the same person any more. I'm not myself."
“我感觉我不再是同一个人了,我不再是我自己了。”
"I knew that (things weren't the way they should be) but I didn't react accordingly. I know what I have to do but it is not easy. It wasn't a good moment (to realise what was wrong)."
“我知道这样的事情在发生,但是我没有及时的反应调整。我知道我需要去调整,但是那并不容易。(意识到那样是错误的)并不是一个很好的时刻。”
And the three-time European champion said he was reconsidering his future.
他重新考虑了他的未来。
"Figure skating is, alongside my family obviously, the most important thing in my life," he said.
“花样滑冰是除了家庭以外,对我最重要的事情。”
"I've committed myself to 2012 (world championships in France). I want to win the Cup of China so that I've won all of them (Grand Prix).
“我已经计划滑到2012年法国世锦赛。我还想赢下大奖赛中国杯,这样我就赢了所有的分站赛了。”(我喜欢这个想法)
"I want to end my career on a high note, with another world championship title and a European title."
“我希望以一个世界冠军或者欧洲冠军结束自己的滑冰生涯。”
The three-time Olympian added: "It's another disappointment at the Olympic Games. These Games have beat me."
“这是我有关奥运会的又一次失望。奥运会把我打败了。”

看了这篇报道,我不知道是喜是悲。刚刚还在想,不知道Brian这一天是怎么度过的。看来他的确像了很多,反思了很多。我始终没明白这个Private life是指什么。但感觉这个剖析还是颇为深刻而犀利的。其实我在奥运前就真的不在乎他成绩的输赢了。我只希望他自己能舒心,能接受就好。
感觉Brian是个执着但有些固执的人。自己想好了,就不大听得进去别人的意见。但其实固执并不是一个贬义词,我觉得我也是一个固执的人。有时固执和执着就是一个心态的问题。如果这次Bria真的意识到了自己的问题,并且想要有所改变了,我觉得对他之后的路都有好处。做个冰迷还能图什么,不就是希望自己支持的选手能顺顺利利、快快乐乐,现在和将来都好吗。
从这篇文章来看,Brian应该不会像他之前曾说的那样再滑4年了,但应该不会立刻退役。希望他能像希望的那样,以一场完美的比赛作为终结 |
