背後有則非凡的故事，她十七歲時擊敗小威廉絲而一戰成名。

Back 6

it was her Wimbledon victory over Serena Williams at the age of 17 that put her on the map.

模特兒般的外貌對她的名氣也不無加分的效果，

目前才二十五歲的她，已囊括將近三十項單打冠軍。

Back 10

Today, at just 25, she has nearly 30 singles titles to her name.

Front 11

她在今年的法國網球公開賽（註：官方全名為 Touroi de Roland-Garros）贏得冠軍之後，已達成了生涯大滿貫，

Back 11

And after her win at Roland Garros this year, she would complete a Career Grand Slam,

Front 12

成為少數在四大網球賽都曾獲得冠軍的女子選手之一。

Back 12

becoming one of few women to win all four major tennis championships.

Front 13

我們來談談你的人生故事，因為這實在是挺不尋常的。

Back 13

Let's talk about your personal story, because it's pretty remarkable.

Front 14

你的家人就住在車諾比核能災變發生地以北，

Back 14

Your family was living north of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

Front 15

在災變之後匆忙逃亡，而你就在幾個月後出生。

Back 15

And your family fled. And you were born several months later.

Front 16

怎麼……我是說，顯然你當時才剛出生，

Back 16

What... I mean, obviously, you were a newborn,

Front 17

但後來你和父母談起那段經歷，他們記得些什麼？

Back 17

but talking with your parents, what do they remember about that time?

Front 18

是啊，那是一段很不可思議的時光，在他們的人生中也是如此，

Back 18

Yeah, it was a very strange time, and also in their lives, as well,

Front 19

因為我爸媽都是來自白俄羅斯，

Back 19

because both of my parents were from Belarus,

Front 20

我媽媽就是在那裡懷了我。

Back 20

and that's where my mom was pregnant with me.

Front 21

後來發生了車諾比事件，他們檢視了其他選項，

Back 21

And then Chernobyl hit and, you know, they looked at other options

Front 22

然後搬到俄國，搬到西伯利亞，那裡是我外公工作的地方。

Back 22

and they left to Russia, to Siberia, where my mother's father was working there.

Front 23

那可以說是通往我的人生的道路，

Back 23

And that was kind of the path towards, you know, my life.

Front 24

因為我就是在那裡出生的。

Back 24

That's where I, you know, where I was born.

Front 25

兩年後，我們搬到俄國南部的索契，比較溫暖一點。我就在那裡從四歲開始打網球。

Back 25

Two years later, we moved to the southern part of Russia -- little warmer -- in Sochi. And that's where I started playing tennis at the age of four.

Front 26

那故事也很有趣，就你怎麼開始打網球而言。

Back 26

And that story is pretty interesting, as to how you got started in playing tennis.

Front 27

也許你可以說明一下。

Back 27

Maybe explain a little bit.

Front 28

你爸爸交了個朋友……

Back 28

Your father became friends with...

Front 29

是的，他和耶夫戈尼的爸爸成為朋友。

Back 29

Yeah. Yevgeny's father, right.

Front 30

耶夫戈尼．卡菲尼可夫的爸爸，而耶夫戈尼是俄國最有名的網球選手之一。

Back 30

Yevgeny Kafelnikov's father, and Yevgeny being one of the most famous Russian tennis players.

Front 31

對，是啊。現在回顧起當年那個時代，網球在我們國內根本不是很受重視的運動。

Back 31

Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, looking back at those years, tennis was not very big in our country at all.

Front 32

沒有多少網球設施，

Back 32

Not many facilities.

Front 33

所以狀況很艱苦。耶夫戈尼．卡菲尼可夫

Back 33

So the conditions were very difficult and Yevgeny Kafelnikov,

Front 34

在當時是我們國內的大明星，特別是在網球還不是很受重視的時候，

Back 34

who was a big star in our country at the time, especially when tennis wasn't so big, really,

Front 35

他確實讓我們認識了這項運動。

Back 35

really brought tennis on the map for us.

Front 36

他是我們那裡的第一位大明星，正好就來自我們住的鎮上。

Back 36

That was our first big star there, and he happened to be from the town where we were living.

Front 37

我爸爸和他的爸爸成了朋友，

Back 37

And my father had become friends with his father,

Front 38

於是耶夫戈尼給了我生平中第一把網球拍，而且我們還得切短一點。

Back 38

and Yevgeny passed on my first racket to me, which we had to cut.

Front 39

我們必須將手把切短，因為那太長了。

Back 39

We had to cut the grip, because it was too long.

Front 40

網球拍的長度，可能比我四歲時的身高還長。

Back 40

It was probably longer than I was at the age of four.

Front 41

我就是這麼開始的。

Back 41

And that's how I started.

Front 42

對於十歲、十一歲、十二歲天賦優異而且真心想要打職業網球的年輕人，你會給什麼樣的忠告？

Back 42

What advice would you have for a talented, young 10, 11, 12-year-old who really wants to play professional tennis?

Front 43

你會對他或她說什麼？

Back 43

What would you say to [him or] her?

Front 44

我想，到了那個節骨眼，一個人若是真的很想要什麼，

Back 44

I think, at that point, when someone wants something so much,

Front 45

你大概說什麼都阻止不了他們，

Back 45

there is not a lot that you're gonna tell them which will, maybe, stop them or...

Front 46

即使你覺得他們的潛力不夠。

Back 46

if you feel like they don't have enough potential.

Front 47

我認為比較重要的是必須讓父母知道實際的狀況，

Back 47

I think it's more about being realistic with the parents

Front 48

而父母也必須對子女的事業抱持實際的觀點。

Back 48

and the parents having a realistic vision about their kid's career.

Front 49

你也知道，有時候父母也許在子女身上看到很多潛力，

Back 49

You know, sometimes the parents see a lot of potential in their kid,

Front 50

但有時候可能沒有足夠的錢，

Back 50

but sometimes don't have enough money,

Front 51

而金錢在這門運動中是一大關鍵，

Back 51

which is, you know, a huge key in this sport,

Front 52

因為要從無到有培養一個神童，花費非常高昂。

Back 52

because it's extremely expensive to raise a prodigy up from nothing.

Front 53

所以，必須要設法取得金援。

Back 53

You know, getting that financial help.

Front 54

不過，也得要理解，如果你的孩子不夠優秀，就必須放手。

Back 54

But also realizing, if your kid is not good enough, to let it go.

Front 55

這是一項非常艱難的決定，我真心認為這是我們能夠成功的一部分原因，

Back 55

That's such a tough decision and I... you know, I honestly think that's why part of our success was

Front 56

因為我認為我爸媽從來都不怕返回俄國，回歸他們的正常生活。

Back 56

because I don't think my parents ever were afraid to go back to Russia and go back to their normal life.

Front 57

他們從來不把這樣的情形視為失敗。

Back 57

You know, they never saw it as a failure.

Front 58

你也從事了設計工作。

Back 58

And you've also been doing design work as well.

Front 59

這是你為了網球生涯結束後的人生所做的準備嗎？是企圖替未來未雨綢繆嗎？

Back 59

Is this partly preparing for life after tennis and trying to sort of think, maybe, further down the track?

Front 60

是啊，我打完網球之後，肯定不會讓自己空著雙手。

Back 60

Yeah. I definitely have never seen myself empty-handed when I finish tennis.

Front 61

我不是那種喜歡回到家裡連續好幾天光坐在沙發上什麼都不做的人。

Back 61

And I'm not a person that likes to come home and just sit on the couch for days on end and not do anything.

Front 62

我坐不住，

Back 62

I get very antsy.

Front 63

總是想要做些什麼事，

Back 63

I wanna put my hands in things.

Front 64

想要腦力激盪一些構想。

Back 64

I wanna brainstorm ideas.

Front 65

我總是……我會看看現況，然後說：「哦，耐吉的期限快到了，

Back 65

I always... I look now and I'm like, "Oh, we have deadlines for Nike.

Front 66

我必須決定那些顏色和材質。」

Back 66

I've gotta sign off on those colors and materials."

Front 67

還有，「那個包裹在哪裡，我得……我正在為可汗設計下一個系列，

Back 67

You know, "where's that package I'm supposed to... I'm working on my next Cole Haan collection.

Front 68

那些樣本在哪裡呢？我還沒收到。」

Back 68

Where are those samples? I haven't received them yet."

Front 69

我過去兩年來投入糖波娃的產品，

Back 69

You know, the Sugarpova stuff I've worked on for the last two years

Front 70

現在重點就在於推出這些產品公諸於世。

Back 70

and now it's really about getting it out to the world.

Front 71

我現在能做的事情不多，

Back 71

There's not really much that I can do right now,

Front 72

可是實在樂趣十足。

Back 72

but it's so much fun.
