里约奥运虽已圆满落幕,但蝶王约瑟林夺金的历史性一刻,仍历历在目。重温他凯旋归来,旋风式访谈的八句经典语录。


金牌对国人的意义


I hope it shows that even people from the smallest countries in the world can do extraordinary things. Hopefully it changes all of sporting culture. That's all I can dream for.


我希望这面金牌证明了,即使来自弹丸之国的人也能够有非凡的成就。我唯一的梦想是这面金牌能彻底改变体育文化。


夺金的心路历程


I was nervous but relaxed at the same time. I was calm, but there was a storm brewing inside, ready to be released. It did when I jumped in... And the rest is history.


我当时的心情是既紧张又放松的。外表看似平静,但我的内心却酝酿着一场风暴,蓄势待发。这股力量的确在我一跳进水里的刹那就爆发开来。接下来所发生的事,大家都有目共睹了。


谦虚是下一个成功之母


I'm not a superstar, just the kid who beat Phelps that one time.


我不是什么超级巨星。我只是个打败菲尔普斯那么一次的小子。


2020东京奥运


When I'm 25 I'm going to be at my peak. I'm going to be a lot stronger than I am now.


我要在25岁时攀上我的巅峰。我要比现在还强。


I'm still young, give me four to five more years and I'll be in my prime. To expand my horizons and bring back more than just one medal (at future events) - that's the next step.


我还年轻。再给我多四到五年,我将达到我的顶峰状态。接下来,让我开阔眼界,游到另一个新的境界,从未来的竞赛带回不止一面的奖牌。


父母恩重如山


My parents sacrificed a lot for me to get here. The things they do for me are crazy, I don't want to go into it but if you ask a lot of parents to do it they wouldn't. Huge props to them. All I know is I'm very lucky to have parents like that. I am forever in debt to them.”


我的父母为我做了很多牺牲,我才会有今天。他们为我所做出的牺牲超乎常人所能想象,恕我不一一列举,我相信许多父母也都做不到。所以我非常地敬佩他们,有这样的父母是我的福气。对他们的亏欠,我这辈子永远无法偿还。


为游泳进名校


We have the best team in the world. We kill everyone in and out of competition, and we train stupid crazy. That's why I went there. To be the best... You need to be among the best.


我们拥有全球最好的泳队,所向无敌,但我们也必须经历魔鬼般的训练。这也是我进入这所大学的主因。你要成为最好的,那就要在最好的环境里,与最好的人才为伍。


维持领先,而非跟随


I'll have to approach meets differently. Usually I gun for Michael (Phelps) or someone ahead, right now I've to maintain position.


从今以后,我必须改变竞赛的方式。我以往都以迈克(菲尔普斯)或游在我前头的人为目标,但现在我必须维持领先的地位,而非尾随。
