It's all cheers and smiles at the Team Great Britain camp in Athens. 在现在的英国奥运代表团里,总是充满了幸福和微笑。 Though 271 athletes will represent Great Britain in the Athens Games, the target set for the team is only a modest 25 medals overall.
虽然英国代表团拥有271名运动员,但是他们的目标仅仅是获得25枚奖牌而已。 It is an alarming drop considering Great Britain had won 55 medals in the Sydney Games. 对于英国人来说,这是一个滑落。他们曾经在悉尼奥运会上获得了55枚奖牌。 However the British Olympic Association Mission de Chef Simong Clegg is only realistic about their chances in Athens. 不过英国代表团团长西蒙-克莱格认为他们在雅典的目标很现实。 "About ten weeks ago, I set a target that we should return with this particular team with 6 and 9 gold medals and 25 medals in total. I think that is a very realistic target with the 271 athletes that we have brought out with us. And if we achieve that target, then I think it is a great result for British sport, a great result for the London Olympic bid and a great result for this team". “大概10个星期之前,我为我们的代表团设定了目标,大约要获得6到9枚金牌,并在奖牌总数上达到25枚。我认为拥有271名运动员,这个目标对我们来说还是比较现实的。如果我们达到了这个目标,这个结果对于英国体育来说就非常不错,不光光是对于代表团来说,对于伦敦的申奥来说也是非常不错的” This 35 year old woman - Pippa Funnell - will lead Team Great Britain's charge in gold medals. 这位35岁的女运动员,皮帕-福内尔,将带领着英国队冲击他们的金牌梦想。 Pippa had won silver in Equestrian in Sydney, missing the gold only by a whisker. 皮帕在悉尼曾经赢得了一枚马术的银牌,当时她距离金牌仅仅有一步之遥。 In Athens, Pippa will start as the clear favourite. 而这次在雅典,皮帕则是夺冠的绝对大热门。 She has had a brilliant last two years including three European gold medals and a historic grand slam. The pressure is on Funnell. 她在过去的两年中战绩辉煌,包括了三次欧洲比赛的金牌和一个大满贯赛事的冠军,不过她现在还是感到了压力。 "I'm not sure how I'm handling pressure. I think it is very very important that you do obviously have to keep very focussed and I try every thing in my plan, not to worry about what everyone else thinks that I might be the favourite or whatever or one of the favourites, I think. This year, we have got ...we are up against a very very strong field, stronger probably than back in Sydney". “其实我不是太明白我将如何克服压力。我认为非常非常的重要是你一定要在比赛中保持专注。我现在想尽可能的多计划一些东西,我并不去想别人将我当作夺冠热门或是夺冠热门之一。这次奥运会的对手非常强,可能要比悉尼的对手都要强。” |
