这篇报道简述了晏紫在去年怀孕离开赛场之后的生活情况和对自己对网球的一些看法。报道中,晏紫谈到在怀孕后,注意力都集中在即将诞生的宝宝的身上(2012.01.17,晏紫生一女),简单的文字中流露出对宝宝的爱和对生活的满意。另外,晏紫还谈到,虽然远离了赛场,她还是会关注现在的网坛,通过收看比赛和比分扳的直播来了解网坛的动态。
另外,说到网球的难忘回忆,除了大家熟悉的澳网温网冠军,晏紫特地谈到了08北京奥运会女双1/4决赛,那场凌晨12点开打,凌晨3点结束的奇葩比赛。关于未来,晏紫谈到,自己非常渴望重新渴望赛场。她坦言自己的回归之路会很艰难,所以像先从双打比赛试水,争取早日再重回球迷的视野。
这篇报道被放在了WTA首页的头条上了,可见WTA对于中国球员的关注和对中国网球这几年来进步的肯定;而且晏紫也算是在WTA混得脸熟的人了,跟不少国外球员都有很良好的关系。而对于晏紫本身来讲,产后复出也是要相当大的勇气和背后的支持,不过有克妈和达姐产后复出的成功案例,希望能够给晏紫的复出之路给予一定的参考。祝晏紫好运!
鉴于这个英文报道写得通俗易懂,我就不具体做中文翻译了,不懂的可以跟帖一起讨论。
