　　The men's marathon will round off the Athens Olympic Games on Sunday as the keenly awaited race runs along the same course used in the 1896 Olympics, the last time the Games were held in Greece.

　　男子马拉松比赛将在本周日进行，这也是本届雅典奥运会的压轴大戏。因为，这次马拉松的路线将和1896年奥运会的路线相同。从那之后，奥运会就没有在雅典进行过。

　　Gharib knows the significance of the event as Morocco last won gold in the 1960 Games.

　　佳里布知道这个项目的重要性，而且摩洛哥从1960年的奥运会以来就没有能够在这个项目上赢得过金牌。

　　The pressure to win is huge but the Moroccan is ready to face the challenge.

　　由于太想赢得比赛，摩洛哥人承受了太大的压力，不过他已经准备好去面对别人的挑战。

　　Gharib will certainly start as one of the favourites to win on Sunday.

　　佳里布在周日的比赛中将肯定会被视作夺冠热门之一。

　　The Moroccan had come from nowhere to win the marathon at last year's World Championships in France.

　　在去年的法国世锦赛上，佳里布就赢得了马拉松比赛的冠军头衔。

　　But Gharib believes that with the 'favourite' tag hanging around his neck, the Olympic race could be different.

　　但是佳里布相信，虽然挂着夺冠热门的招牌，但是奥运会的比赛对于他来说依然是和世锦赛完全不同的感觉。

　　One of Gharib's biggest threats is expected to come from American Allan Culpepper, whose own profile was raised following his winning performance at the U.S. Olympic trials earlier this year.

　　佳里布在比赛中最大的威胁就来自美国的阿伦-库尔佩珀，他在美国的奥运预选赛中表现出色，并赢得了美国奥运选拔赛马拉松比赛的冠军。

　　Allan is relatively new on the scene, the U.S. Olympic trials being only the second marathon of his career.

　　对于阿伦来说，他还是马拉松运动中的一位新人。美国奥运预选赛只是他参加的第二此马拉松比赛而已。

　　"how can I run the best race and how can I achieve the time that I'm hoping to run That, I feel, can be competitive for being in the medals. You know, I think Paul Tergat is probably the name that first jumps into my mind (as a potential winner)... And because he has been such a great champion for all these years and with his current world record being set… that's probably the only guy who jumps out of sight. Aside from that, I feel like a there is a whole pool of guys who can be there in the medals."

　　“我该如何去跑出我最好的状态，我将如何在比赛中赢得时间。我相信，我能够在比赛中夺得一枚奖牌。你知道，我觉得保罗-特加特将是第一个进入我脑海的名字，也有可能是唯一的一个。除了他之外，我相信其他有一大堆实力相近的选手去争夺这个项目的奖牌。”

　　Though the field might be too strong for the American to lift a medal, Paul Tergat of Kenya is the current world record holder in the men's marathon.

　　虽然对于美国人来说，强大的参赛阵容让他夺牌的机会大减。毕竟，参赛选手中还包括了来自肯尼亚的特加特，目前的马拉松世界纪录保持者。
