MARTINA NAVRATILOVA

Thank you.

谢谢。

TYLER COWEN

Martina, we are greatly honored to have you here today.

玛蒂娜,我们非常荣幸您今天来到这里。

NAVRATILOVA

Yes.

是的。

COWEN

You have won Wimbledon nine times, I believe.

我相信你已经九次赢得温布尔登了。

NAVRATILOVA

Yep.

是的。

COWEN

And more astonishing yet, there are, I believe, 80 different events where you have won both the singles and the doubles of the same event.

更令人惊讶的是,我相信有 80 个不同的赛事,您在同一赛事中同时赢得了单打和双打。

NAVRATILOVA

Yes.

是的。

NAVRATILOVA

Eighty-eight times.

八十八次。

They just gave a million-dollar bonus last week in Indian Wells if a player could win both singles and doubles.

上周在印第安维尔斯,如果一名球员能够同时赢得单打和双打,他们将颁发百万美元奖金。

They didn’t do that in my day, unfortunately.

不幸的是,在我那个时代他们并没有这样做。

On training and continuous self-improvement

关于培训和不断自我完善

COWEN

If we were to take your achievements, and rather than framing them as sports achievements and athletic — which, of course, they were — but to think of them in terms of both education — self-education — and management, how would you describe the approach that took you, by the early ’80s, to really being a completely dominant player?

如果我们将你的成就视为体育成就和运动成就——当然,它们是——而是从教育——自我教育——和管理的角度来思考它们,那么你会如何描述在 80 年代初期让你真正成为一名完全占主导地位的球员的方法?

You were a contender, and then you became completely dominant, say, by 1981.

你是一个竞争者,然后你就完全占据了主导地位,比如说,到 1981 年。

How did you do that?

你是怎么做到的?

And what can you teach us about that process?

关于这个过程你能教给我们什么?

NAVRATILOVA

I didn’t graduate from high school, so I’m having a hard time understanding your question.

我高中没毕业,所以很难理解你的问题。

NAVRATILOVA

I’m just kidding.

我只是在开玩笑。

I left my country before I was able to graduate.

我在毕业之前就离开了自己的国家。

I think what happened was a seminal moment.

我认为发生的事情是一个具有开创性的时刻。

I was friends with Nancy Lieberman, who is a basketball player, Hall of Famer.

我和南希·利伯曼是朋友,她是一名篮球运动员,也是名人堂成员。

That spring, she traveled with me, and I had a bad spring.

那年春天,她陪我去旅行,我度过了一个糟糕的春天。

I lost the semifinals at the French Open.

我在法网半决赛中输掉了。

I lost the semifinals, both lead-up tournaments to Wimbledon and at Wimbledon.

我输掉了半决赛,无论是温布尔登的预选赛还是温布尔登的温布尔登。

I always said I would play until I’m 30 and then see.

我总是说我会打到30岁,然后再看情况。

She said, “You know, your time’s running out, and, and you could work a lot harder.” I’m like, “What are you talking about?” I thought I worked pretty hard, but I didn’t have a coach for six years after I defected.

她说:“你知道,你的时间已经不多了,而且你可以更加努力地工作。”我说:“你在说什么?”我以为我很努力,但我叛逃后六年没有教练。

My dad was my coach, and I didn’t have a coach.

我父亲是我的教练,而我没有教练。

I thought I worked hard enough, but then she introduced me to running suicides on the basketball court.

我以为我已经足够努力了,但后来她让我在篮球场上自杀。

COWEN

Why did she register with you in a way earlier people hadn’t?

为什么她要以以前人们没有的方式向你注册?

NAVRATILOVA

Fellow athlete, very capable athlete.

运动员伙伴,非常有能力的运动员。

She just said, “You know, you’re wasting your talent.

她只是说:“你知道,你在浪费你的才能。

You have so much more talent than what you’re putting out there.” I didn’t know any better.

你的才华比你所展现的要多得多。”我不知道有什么更好的。

We started training that summer.

那年夏天我们开始训练。

Then I knew a guy who was also a nutritionist.

然后我认识了一个人,他也是一名营养师。

He helped me tailor my diet.

他帮助我调整饮食。

It wasn’t to lose weight, but just to better quality food coming in.

这并不是为了减肥,而是为了获得更优质的食物。

I weighed the same since about ’77, 147 pounds.

大约从 77 年开始,我的体重就一直是 147 磅。

I didn’t lose any weight, but I put on some muscle and lost some body fat and, most of all, got a coach.

我没有减轻任何体重,但我增加了一些肌肉并减少了一些身体脂肪,最重要的是,我找到了一位教练。

Dr. Renée Richards started coaching me.

蕾妮·理查兹博士开始指导我。

I was doing it on my own.

我是自己做的。

Everybody that lived here or other players, they would have a coach in their hometown.

每个住在这里的人或其他球员,他们的家乡都会有一位教练。

Chris Evert had her father.

克里斯·埃弗特有她的父亲。

Did not travel, but when she goes home, she would have a coach.

没有旅行,但是当她回家时,她会有教练。

I would go home and I was alone.

我会回家,只剩下我一个人。

In fact, just last week in Indian Wells, I saw a guy that I used to practice with every day when I was practicing in Dallas.

事实上,就在上周在印第安维尔斯,我看到了一个我在达拉斯训练时每天都和他一起训练的人。

I did not have a coach.

我没有教练。

It just didn’t occur to me get a full-time coach and Renée, just by accident, we started practicing together at the US Open.

我只是没有想到有一个全职教练和Renee,只是偶然,我们开始在美国公开赛一起练习。

COWEN

Building the team.

建设团队。

It’s sometimes been called Team Navratilova.

它有时被称为纳芙拉蒂洛娃队。

Did you do this self-consciously .

你是自觉地这样做的吗?

.

。

.

。

NAVRATILOVA

Not at all.

一点也不。

COWEN

.

。

.

。

.

。

or it’s just something that evolved, bit by bit?

或者它只是一点一点进化的?

Each piece seemed to work?

每一件作品似乎都有效?

NAVRATILOVA

Totally.

完全。

COWEN

Then at the end, did you realize what you had done?

那么最后你意识到自己做了什么吗?

What was the process ex post of looking back and reconstructing?

事后回顾和重构的过程是怎样的?

NAVRATILOVA

I just wanted to leave no stone unturned, really.

我只是想不遗余力,真的。

The coach, obviously, was technique and tactics.

教练显然是技术和战术的结合者。

The physical part was training, working very hard.

身体部分是训练,非常努力。

I’ll give you my typical day in a minute.

我很快就会告诉你我典型的一天。

The eating was so that I could train hard and not get injured.

吃东西是为了让我可以努力训练而不受伤。

So it all came together.

所以这一切都结合在一起了。

The typical day, then, when I really was humming was four hours of tennis, 10:00 to 2:00, two hours of drills and maybe two hours of sets.

那么,典型的一天,当我真正享受乐趣时,就是四个小时的网球比赛,即 10:00 到 2:00,两个小时的训练,也许还有两个小时的训练。

Then I would do some running drills on the court for 15, 20 minutes, sprints that if I did them now, I wouldn’t be able to walk the next day.

然后我会在球场上做一些15、20分钟的跑步训练,如果我现在做的话,第二天我就无法走路了。

NAVRATILOVA

You know, 15- to 30-second sprinting drills.

你知道,15 到 30 秒的冲刺训练。

Then we would eat lunch.

然后我们就吃午饭。

Then I would go either play basketball full-court, two on two for an hour and a half or little man-big man.

然后我要么去打全场篮球,二对二打一个半小时,要么小个子打大个子。

It’s two on one.

这是二对一。

I don’t know, those people that play basketball.

我不知道,那些打篮球的人。

You just run.

你就跑吧。

You just run.

你就跑吧。

COWEN

Which one were you?

你是哪一位?

NAVRATILOVA

It switches.

它会切换。

Whoever has the ball is the little man.

谁拿球就是小个子。

No, whoever has the ball, it’s one against two.

不,无论谁拿球,都是一对二。

Then you play little man, the person plays defense, and then the big man plays center.

然后你扮演小个子,这个人防守,然后大个子扮演中锋。

It’s not two on one, it’s one against one and then one.

这不是二对一,而是一对一,然后一对一。

Then whoever gets the ball goes the other way.

然后谁拿到球就往另一条路走。

It’s run, run, run.

就是跑,跑,跑。

Then I would lift weights and have dinner either before lifting weights or after.

然后我会举重,并在举重之前或之后吃晚饭。

So it was a full day of training.

就这样,这一天的训练就完成了。

COWEN

What about 9:00 A.M.

上午 9:00 怎么样?

to 10:00 A.M.?

到上午 10:00?

NAVRATILOVA

That was breakfast.

那是早餐。

If I didn’t play basketball, we’d go on the track and run, some days, 10 100-meter sprints, or 20 60-yard sprints.

如果我不打篮球,我们就会去田径场跑步,有时会进行 10 次 100 米冲刺,或者 20 次 60 码冲刺。

I would do four quarters.

我会做四个季度。

That was my least favorite.

那是我最不喜欢的。

I trained hard.

我训练很刻苦。

I worked harder than I needed to, I think, but it worked.

我认为我比我需要的更加努力,但它确实有效。

COWEN

You’ve done other things in life.

你在生活中做过其他事情。

You’ve been very interested in woodworking.

你对木工很感兴趣。

I’ve read that you learned Swahili.

我听说你学了斯瓦希里语。

NAVRATILOVA

A little bit.

一点点。

COWEN

You have a pilot’s license.

您有飞行员执照。

NAVRATILOVA

I did.

我做到了。

COWEN

You wrote three detective novels, played on a hockey team.

你写了三本侦探小说,并在曲棍球队打球。

You’re now having a role in raising two children.

您现在要承担抚养两个孩子的责任。

Have you used a training regime for all of those?

您是否对所有这些都使用过培训制度?

COWEN

Do you now think about getting things done this way?

您现在考虑以这种方式完成事情吗?

NAVRATILOVA

The positive attitude helps.

积极的态度会有所帮助。

With tennis, you have to be very positive and have a very short memory.

对于网球来说,你必须非常积极并且记忆力很差。

COWEN

NAVRATILOVA: Long memory for the good stuff and short memory for the bad stuff because you have to play a point.

NAVRATILOVA:好的事情记忆力长,坏的事情记忆力短,因为你必须打好一个点。

In 20 seconds, you’ve got to get ready for the next point.

20 秒后,你必须为下一个点做好准备。

You’ve got to analyze what happened and try to do it better, etc. But raising two kids is challenging.

你必须分析发生的事情并尝试做得更好等等。但是抚养两个孩子是具有挑战性的。

I’m going to say whatever training I’ve done is not enough.

我想说的是,我所做的任何训练都是不够的。

COWEN

Billie Jean King once suggested that you use writing in a journal every day to help you accomplish your goals.

比莉·简·金曾经建议你每天写日记来帮助你实现目标。

How does that work for you?

这对你有什么作用?

What is it you do?

你是做什么的?

Why do you think it works?

你为什么认为它有效?

NAVRATILOVA

It worked because it really centers you.

它之所以有效,是因为它真正以你为中心。

It narrows it down, whatever long-term goal you have.

无论您有什么长期目标,它都会缩小范围。

It becomes more real and more current because it narrows it down in that, “What do you need to do today?” and “Did you accomplish that goal?” You have a big goal.

它变得更加真实和流行,因为它缩小了范围,“你今天需要做什么?”以及“你实现这个目标了吗?”你有一个远大的目标。

You break it into smaller goals, into smaller goals, until you get into, “OK, what do I do today to get to that goal?”

你把它分成一个又一个更小的目标,直到你陷入“好吧,我今天要做什么才能实现这个目标?”

You keep track.

你跟踪一下。

It’s easier to keep track.

更容易跟踪。

It’s always good to keep track, whether you’re playing points — keeping track that way — or just measure your progress or maybe regress some days.

跟踪总是好的,无论您是在玩积分 — 以这种方式跟踪 — 还是只是衡量自己的进度或可能在某些日子里出现倒退。

I would rate myself on a physical level, emotional, and mental — how I did today on a scale of 1 to 10.

我会从身体、情感和精神层面对自己进行评分——我今天的表现从 1 到 10 分。

Some days were 10s, some days were 7s, some days were 3s.

有些天是 10 秒,有些天是 7 秒,有些天是 3 秒。

Try to be honest with yourself.

尝试对自己诚实。

Be honest but also be nice to yourself.

诚实但也要善待自己。

You see that with most champions, they’re perfectionists.

你看,大多数冠军都是完美主义者。

You beat yourself up too much.

你太打击自己了。

I preach and I try to strive for excellence rather than perfection.

我宣扬并努力追求卓越而不是完美。

Try to be honest with yourself.

尝试对自己诚实。

Be honest but also be nice to yourself.

诚实但也要善待自己。

You see that with most champions, they’re perfectionists.

你看,大多数冠军都是完美主义者。

You beat yourself up too much.

你太打击自己了。

I preach and I try to strive for excellence rather than perfection.

我宣扬并努力追求卓越而不是完美。

If you strive for excellence, perfection may happen.

如果你追求卓越,完美可能会发生。

It’s good enough to be excellent.

足够优秀就足够了。

That’s good enough.

这就足够了。

You don’t need to be perfect because perfection just happens by accident.

你不需要完美,因为完美只是偶然发生的。

COWEN

John McEnroe once reported that Björn Borg said that to him, I quote, “Number one is the only thing that matters.” That doesn’t seem to quite be your attitude.

约翰·麦肯罗曾经报道说,比约恩·博格对他说,“第一是唯一重要的事情。”这似乎不太符合你的态度。

How do you think of your motivation in terms of the goal?

您如何看待实现目标的动机?

NAVRATILOVA

I wanted to be number one.

我想成为第一。

I said that when I was 20 years old.

我20岁的时候就说过了。

I said since I was eight or nine years old, I wanted to win Wimbledon.

我说从八九岁起,我就想赢得温网冠军。

At that point, you don’t know how big the world is and what that all means, but that was the goal.

那时,你不知道世界有多大,也不知道这一切意味着什么,但这就是目标。

I just put it all out on the line.

我只是把一切都说出来了。

What was the question?

问题是什么?

NAVRATILOVA

I forgot where I was going .

我忘记了我要去哪里。

.

。

.

。

COWEN

Björn Borg saying, “Number one is the only thing that matters.” He may have been exaggerating himself.

比约恩·博格 (Björn Borg) 说:“第一是唯一重要的事情。”他可能夸大了自己。

Do you ever feel you have that attitude that anything short of number one is a failure?

你是否曾经有过这样的态度:任何低于第一的事情都是失败的?

NAVRATILOVA

Not at all.

一点也不。

Not at all.

一点也不。

The only failure is to not try.

唯一的失败就是不去尝试。

For me, it was always giving my best, whatever it was that I was doing, whether it was riding the bicycle in my garden and trying to go as fast as I can and timing myself.

对我来说,无论我在做什么,无论是在花园里骑自行车,还是尝试尽可能快地行驶并为自己计时,它总是尽我所能。

My first watch was a stopwatch when I was in third grade.

当我三年级时,我的第一块手表是秒表。

I was always timing myself.

我总是给自己计时。

I would try to go faster.

我会尝试走得更快。

I would back up, do a little turn, so I could make the turn faster, so I could go faster three times around.

我会倒退,稍微转弯,这样我就可以转弯得更快,这样我就可以跑得更快三圈。

Competing with myself, my competition was always with myself.

与自己竞争,我的竞争始终是与自己竞争。

I always said I would rather play well and lose than play lousy and win because if I played lousy and won, that just meant my opponent was really lousy.

我总是说我宁愿打得好却输,也不愿打得糟糕却赢,因为如果我打得不好却赢了,那就意味着我的对手真的很糟糕。

NAVRATILOVA

I’d rather be pushed.

我宁愿被推。

That’s why I really enjoyed the competition against the best players because that’s when you have to put it on the line and play your best.

这就是为什么我真的很喜欢与最好的球员竞争,因为那是你必须冒险并发挥出最好水平的时候。

Anything less won’t be good enough.

少了任何东西都不够好。

The number one kind of happened.

第一件事发生了。

That’s another line that I use.

这是我使用的另一条线。

Everybody has that goal.

每个人都有这个目标。

Most players that play on the tour, they want to be number one.

大多数参加巡回赛的球员都想成为第一。

They want to win a major, but only one person can be number one.

他们想要赢得一场大满贯,但只有一个人可以成为第一。

Does that make everybody else a failure?

这会让其他人都失败吗?

No. They’re trying their hardest.

不,他们正在尽最大努力。

If you try your best and the best that you can do, which we have the ranking.

如果你尽力而为,你能做到最好,我们就有排名。

Obviously, it doesn’t lie.

显然,它没有说谎。

This is exactly where you stand.

这正是你所站的地方。

You could be 45 in the world or 5 in the world.

您可能已经 45 岁了,也可能已经 5 岁了。

If you tried your best and your best ranking ever was number 10, then the other nine players were better.

如果你尽力而为,并且你的最好成绩是第十名,那么其他九名选手会更好。

But if the other nine people weren’t alive, you’d be number one.

但如果其他九个人都没有活着,你就是第一。

NAVRATILOVA

You’re still the same tennis player, right?

你还是原来的网球运动员,对吗?

You’re not any better.

你也好不到哪去。

So for me, the competition was always with myself.

所以对我来说,竞争始终是我自己。

COWEN

Pam Shriver once said that she thought her doubles partnership with you worked so well precisely because the two of you had this creative interchange, but you didn’t spend much time together off the court.

帕姆·施莱弗曾经说过,她认为与你们的双打合作非常顺利,正是因为你们两个进行了这种创造性的交流,但你们在场外并没有花太多时间在一起。

You saved that back-and-forth for when you were playing together.

你把这种来回的事情留到了一起玩的时候。

Does that make sense to you?

这对你来说有意义吗?

NAVRATILOVA

We talked a lot, yes.

我们聊了很多,是的。

We had to catch up on everything while we were playing the matches.

当我们打比赛的时候,我们必须赶上一切。

NAVRATILOVA

Nowadays, they all talk strategy.

现在都讲战略。

We’d do like, “OK, I serve wide, but what do you want to do for dinner?” or “Where did you go last night?” and “Where is your coach sitting?” We were visiting.

我们会说,“好吧,我服务范围很广,但是你晚餐想做什么?”或“你昨晚去哪儿了?”和“你的教练坐在哪里?”我们正在参观。

“Can you believe that guy over there?

“你能相信那边那个人吗?

You know, he’s not even watching us.” We were just talking smack, and we had fun.

你知道,他甚至没有看我们。”我们只是说说笑笑,玩得很开心。

On the particulars of tennis

关于网球的细节

COWEN

A few questions about women’s tennis in particular.

特别是关于女子网球的一些问题。

If you think about Steffi Graf, Sabatini, Monica Seles, Hingis, yourself, do women in tennis develop more quickly in terms of age?

如果你想想施特菲·格拉夫、萨巴蒂尼、莫妮卡·塞莱斯、辛吉斯以及你自己,网球界的女性在年龄方面发展得更快吗?

If so, why is that the case?

如果是这样,为什么会这样呢?

NAVRATILOVA

Physically, yeah, women mature earlier, I think, emotionally and physically, but most of all physically.

在身体上,是的,我认为女性在情感和身体上成熟得更早,但最重要的是身体上。

Nowadays, the game has gotten so much more physical it’s a little more tricky for people to play really great tennis at 14 or 15.

如今,这项运动变得越来越需要身体对抗,对于 14 岁或 15 岁的人来说,要打出真正精彩的网球有点困难。

In the women’s game, we instituted an age eligibility rule, so you cannot play as many tournaments as you want until you’re 18.

在女子比赛中,我们制定了年龄资格规则,因此在 18 岁之前,您不能随心所欲地参加比赛。

There is a limit to how many tournaments you can play at 14, at 15, etc. It goes up.

14 岁、15 岁等年龄时可以参加的锦标赛数量有限制。数量会增加。

The biggest reason for that was we had too many injuries and too many people getting burned out because the parents had these big eyes for their kids.

最大的原因是我们有太多的伤病,太多的人因为父母对孩子的关注而精疲力尽。

They’re pulling kids out of school too soon, and doing training and burning out physically or emotionally before they even get on the tour.

他们过早地让孩子们退学,甚至在他们参加巡演之前就进行训练,在身体或情感上精疲力竭。

Or, if they get on the tour, then the injuries come.

或者,如果他们参加巡回赛,那么伤病就会随之而来。

We had too many people pulling out.

我们撤退的人太多了。

I think some of it is also they don’t make them like they used to.

我认为部分原因是他们不再像以前那样制作它们。

NAVRATILOVA

In the old days, seriously, I would come to a tournament and somebody would default.

说实话,在过去,我会参加一场锦标赛,但有人会违约。

I’m like, “Oh, my God.

我想,“哦,天哪。

Is she OK?

她还好吗?

Is she in the hospital?” It was unusual for people to pull out.

她在医院吗?”人们撤离是不寻常的。

I think Chris pulled out of three events, ever.

我认为克里斯退出了三场比赛。

Same with me, three tournaments that I pulled out of.

和我一样,我退出了三场比赛。

COWEN

And you played a lot.

而且你玩了很多。

NAVRATILOVA

I played a lot of tournaments and a lot of matches.

我参加了很多锦标赛和比赛。

I don’t know how many singles I won, but I think I played something like 1,700 singles matches and, I don’t know, 1,100 doubles matches.

我不知道我赢了多少单打比赛,但我想我打了大概 1,700 场单打比赛,还有 1,100 场双打比赛,我不知道。

COWEN

What accounts for that change?

造成这种变化的原因是什么?

Why are we moderns weaker, more complacent?

为什么我们现代人变得更软弱、更自满?

However you might describe it, what’s happened to us?

不管你如何描述,我们到底发生了什么?

NAVRATILOVA

Things are easier, there is no doubt.

毫无疑问,事情变得更容易了。

But also they’re lasting longer because things are easier.

但它们也能持续更长时间,因为事情变得更容易了。

You have trainers now.

你现在有教练了。

When I came on the tour, I pulled a stomach muscle the very first tournament I played.

当我参加巡回赛时,我参加的第一场比赛就拉伤了胃部肌肉。

It took two months before I got well again.

花了两个月的时间我才再次康复。

We got a trainer for the first time on the tour, 1975.

1975 年,我们在巡演中首次配备了教练。

I thought, “Oh, you get a massage.” No, no, no, this is a trainer.

我想:“哦,你去按摩一下吧。”不不不,这是教练。

They actually tape your ankles and stuff.

他们实际上会用胶带绑住你的脚踝之类的东西。

We were really clueless.

我们真的一无所知。

We didn’t know.

我们不知道。

Nowadays, the care is much better, and the players last longer because of that.

如今,照顾得更好了,球员的寿命也因此更长。

We played on clay or grass, indoors on soft carpet, with wooden rackets, with animal gut for the strings.

我们在粘土或草地上打球,在室内柔软的地毯上,用木球拍,用动物肠线做弦。

Now, they play on hard courts most of the time, with metal rackets, with nylon strings.

现在,他们大部分时间都在硬地球场上比赛,使用金属球拍和尼龙线。

So the body does not absorb that vibration from the racket.

因此身体不会吸收球拍的振动。

They use their wrists a lot more, so you have a lot more injuries on the upper body.

他们更多地使用手腕,因此上半身受伤的情况也更多。

Playing on hard courts, you see them slide.

在硬地球场上打球,你会看到它们滑动。

I’m like, “I still don’t know how they do that.” Sliding on hard courts, it’s like, “Ohhh.” There’ll be a lot more hip replacements in the future because of that.

我想,“我还是不知道他们是怎么做到的。”在硬地球场上滑行时,感觉就像是“哦哦”。因此,未来将会有更多的髋关节置换手术。

I think the game is more physical, so they get more beat up.

我认为比赛更加需要身体对抗,所以他们会受到更多的打击。

Everybody’s hitting the ball harder because of the rackets, etc.

由于球拍等原因,每个人都更加努力地击球。

COWEN

Some sports, it seems fairly easy to compare the past and the present.

有些运动,似乎很容易比较过去和现在。

The 100-meter dash, how long did it take?

100米短跑,用了多长时间?

There’s a very definite timing.

有一个非常明确的时间。

If you’re thinking about tennis players, the best of today, the best of an earlier age — Althea Gibson or Evonne Goolagong, whoever it is you have in mind — do you think it’s even a meaningful comparison?

如果你正在考虑网球运动员,今天最好的,早期最好的 —— Althea Gibson 或 Evonne Goolagong,无论你想到的是谁 —— 你认为这是一个有意义的比较吗?

Or do you have some definite view, like, “We were better than they’ll ever be.” Or “They would take every set from us.” How do you think about that problem?

或者你有一些明确的观点,比如“我们比他们更好。”或者“他们会夺走我们的每一套。”您如何看待这个问题?

NAVRATILOVA

Me from 1990 would have beaten me from 1980, would have beaten me from 1973.

1990年的我会打败1980年的我,也会打败1973年的我。

You get better as you play.

当你玩的时候你会变得更好。

I would have beaten Althea Gibson.

我会打败阿尔西娅·吉布森。

But if I had been born in Althea’s Gibson’s time and Althea Gibson was born 20 years later, she would be beating me because it’s the evolution of the sport.

但如果我出生在 Althea Gibson 的时代,而 Althea Gibson 出生在 20 年后,她就会打败我,因为这是这项运动的演变。

Nowadays, especially with the rackets being so different, you can’t really compare.

如今,尤其是球拍差异如此之大,你无法真正进行比较。

But if Evonne Goolagong was born now, she would still be winning majors.

但如果埃文·古拉贡现在出生,她仍然会赢得大满贯赛。

The same with the guys, you’re a product of your culture and of your time.

和其他人一样,你是你的文化和时代的产物。

If Usain Bolt was born in 1930, I’m pretty sure he would not be running 9.2, whatever he’s running, 100 meters.

如果尤塞恩·博尔特出生于 1930 年,我很确定他不会跑 9.2,无论他跑什么,100 米。

It just wasn’t going to happen with those shoes, on those tracks.

穿着那些鞋子,在那些赛道上,这种情况是不会发生的。

It’s a different ballgame.

这是一场不同的比赛。

COWEN

If you think about how men and women are divided in tennis, the current arrangement has a lot of advantages.

如果你想想网球运动中男女是如何划分的,现在的安排有很多优点。

It could be the case — I’m no expert in this area — that there are more than two genders.

情况可能是 ——“我不是这方面的专家”—— 存在两种以上的性别。

In track and field, you have Caster Semenya, where people argue, “Should she be allowed to compete in women’s track and field?”

在田径方面,有卡斯特·塞门亚(Caster Semenya),人们争论道:“应该允许她参加女子田径比赛吗?”

There’s a lot of measurement that goes on.

有很多测量正在进行。

Arguably, it’s somewhat intrusive .

可以说,这有点侵入性。

or just distasteful.

或者只是令人厌恶。

How should we think about this problem and structure the rules going forward to have the best available arrangement?

我们应该如何思考这个问题并构建未来的规则以获得最佳的可用安排?

NAVRATILOVA

You just try to take it case by case and make it as fair as possible for everybody involved.

你只需尝试根据具体情况进行处理,并使其对每个相关人员尽可能公平。

I’m not a doctor, so it’s hard to pin that one.

我不是医生,所以很难确定这一点。

You just try to make it fair.

你只是努力让它公平。

There is not any particular rule.

没有任何特定的规则。

If you go by that, then some guy may have a lot more testosterone than another guy.

如果你按照这个说法,那么有些人可能比另一个人有更多的睾丸激素。

Is he banned because he has too much?

是不是因为他的东西太多了,所以被禁了?

Where do you put the limits?

你把限制放在哪里?

Who decides where the limits are?

谁来决定界限在哪里?

You just take it case by case and try to make it a level playing field.

你只需根据具体情况进行处理,并努力使其成为一个公平的竞争环境。

With me, they were saying I have an advantage because I’m gay.

对于我来说,他们说我有优势,因为我是同性恋。

Somehow, a gay player hits the ball better than a straight player.

不知何故,同性恋球员比异性恋球员击球更好。

I don’t know.

我不知道。

NAVRATILOVA

Still trying to figure that one out.

仍在努力弄清楚这一点。

On the gender pay gap in tournaments

论锦标赛中的性别薪酬差距

COWEN

Issues of pay equity.

薪酬公平问题。

As you know, Australian, US, French opens, Wimbledon, Indian Wells, Miami — male and female prizes are the same at the top.

如你所知,澳大利亚公开赛、美国公开赛、法国公开赛、温布尔登公开赛、印第安维尔斯公开赛、迈阿密公开赛——男女排名最高的奖项是相同的。

But many other tournaments, male winners tend to receive quite a bit more than female winners.

但在许多其他比赛中,男性获胜者获得的奖金往往比女性获胜者多得多。

Is this, in your view, fair?

您认为这公平吗?

Should it be changed?

是否应该改变?

If so, how should we change it?

如果是这样,我们应该如何改变呢?

NAVRATILOVA

We are changing it a little bit at a time.

我们一次一点点地改变它。

Still, those tournaments are separate.

不过,这些锦标赛是分开的。

The men still — most corporations are run by men, owned by men.

男人仍然是——大多数公司都是由男人经营、由男人拥有。

They’re much more likely to give the money to the men than the women.

与女性相比,他们更有可能把钱给男性。

Whether it’s a bank or whatever the sponsor is, men have a much easier time getting the sponsorship money and don’t have to prove it.

无论是银行还是赞助商,男性都更容易获得赞助资金,而且无需证明。

The women have to prove themselves, which is why most of the sponsors that have been involved in women’s tennis have stayed around a lot longer because we have to make sure that the money is judged correctly, that economically it makes sense.

女性必须证明自己,这就是为什么大多数参与女子网球的赞助商都坚持了更长时间,因为我们必须确保这笔钱的判断是正确的,从经济上来说是有意义的。

How many false starts were there for the NFL, NBA, all of that?

NFL、NBA 等球队有多少次失败的开局?

You have one false start in the women’s league, and it’s, “Oh, the women can’t make it.” But the guys, they keep throwing money at them.

在女子联赛中,你有一个错误的开始,那就是,“哦,女子队无法做到这一点。”但是这些家伙,他们不断地向他们扔钱。

It is still in different cultures.

它仍然存在于不同的文化中。

We still have tournaments in places where women can’t walk without a male escort.

我们仍然在女性无法在没有男性护送的情况下行走的地方举办比赛。

Times have changed, but not enough.

时代变了,但还不够。

It’s certainly going in the right direction, but the pay inequity is still there.

这肯定是在朝着正确的方向发展,但薪酬不平等仍然存在。

COWEN

Male and female tennis announcers, should they be paid the same?

男性和女性网球播音员的报酬应该相同吗?

NAVRATILOVA

I’m trending on Twitter today.

我今天在推特上很流行。

NAVRATILOVA

My, “Yes!” claim to fame.

我的,“是的!”要求成名。

You try to pay people equal amount for equal work, equal contribution, and equal level of expertise, and whatever championship quality you want to assign to that.

你尝试为同工同酬、同等贡献、同等专业水平以及你想要赋予的任何冠军品质的人们支付同等的报酬。

There’s this hoo-ha right now about me getting a lot less pay for the same work as John McEnroe at Wimbledon.

现在人们对我在温布尔登做同样的工作而得到比约翰·麦肯罗少得多的薪水感到兴奋。

The BBC is a publicly owned corporation, but they would not divulge what people are making.

BBC 是一家公有公司,但他们不会透露人们的收入。

Finally, they had to last year say how much people are making.

最后,他们不得不透露去年人们赚了多少钱。

Only people that are making £150,000 a year or more, anybody less than that, you don’t have to divulge.

只有那些年收入 15 万英镑或以上的人,或者低于这个数字的人,你才不必透露。

A lot of the part-time people did not make the cut, but John McEnroe did make the cut.

很多兼职人员都没有晋级,但约翰·麦肯罗确实晋级了。

He gets at least £150,000 for Wimbledon, while I was getting paid about £12,000, £13,000 for less work — less work, yes — but about maybe one third.

他在温布尔登至少得到 15 万英镑,而我的工资约为 12,000 英镑,少工作 13,000 英镑——“少工作,是的”——但大约只有三分之一。

It’s because I couldn’t get any more.

这是因为我无法再得到更多。

I wanted to work more, but we were getting all kinds of excuses why I couldn’t get more, or other women weren’t getting paid as much as the men.

我想工作更多,但我们得到了各种各样的借口,为什么我不能得到更多,或者其他女性没有得到与男性一样多的报酬。

I knew I was getting paid less, but I didn’t know how much less.

我知道我的工资少了,但我不知道少了多少。

Then when I found out, when this report was made public, it was like OK, now this is not just percentage.

然后当我发现,当这份报告被公开时,就好像好吧,现在这不仅仅是百分比了。

This is a multiplier.

这是一个乘数。

There was a program that just went out tonight actually.

实际上今晚刚刚播出了一个节目。

It’s kind of the 60 Minutes in the UK, called Panorama.

这有点像英国的 60 分钟节目,叫做 Panorama。

I did an interview there, so now there’s a big to-do about it.

我在那里接受了采访,所以现在有一件大事要做。

It’s not between me and McEnroe.

这不是我和麦肯罗之间的事。

It’s not about that.

不是这个问题。

It’s about women getting paid a lot less than men for a similar job.

这是因为从事类似工作的女性的工资比男性低得多。

Maybe it’s because you get paid by the work.

也许是因为你通过工作获得报酬。

I’m trying to keep my answers really succinct.

我试图让我的答案非常简洁。

NAVRATILOVA

Just saying.

只是说。

COWEN

Here’s something Billie Jean King once said.

这是比利·简·金曾经说过的话。

I’m not sure, but I think she was referring to both men’s and women’s tennis.

我不确定,但我认为她指的是男子和女子网球。

Quote: “I think tennis is a sexy sport, and that is good.

引用:“我认为网球是一项性感的运动,这很好。

The players are young, with excellent bodies, clothed in relatively little.

球员们都很年轻,身体素质极佳,但穿的衣服相对较少。

It offers the healthiest, most appealing presentation of sex I can imagine, and we in sport must acknowledge that and use it to our advantage.” True or false?

它提供了我能想象到的最健康、最吸引人的性表现,我们体育界必须承认这一点,并利用它来发挥我们的优势。”是真是假?

NAVRATILOVA

She said that?

她这么说?

COWEN

It’s in print.

它已印刷。

NAVRATILOVA

It doesn’t sound like Billie.

听起来不像比利。

I’d never heard her say that.

我从来没有听她这么说过。

It is a sexy sport, but I don’t think it’s because of the way we dress.

这是一项性感的运动,但我不认为这是因为我们的着装方式。

It’s just because we’re really capable of hitting the tennis ball and doing things on the court that most people can’t.

只是因为我们确实有能力击球并在球场上做大多数人做不到的事情。

COWEN

And it’s a cognitive endeavor, most of all.

最重要的是,这是一种认知努力。

NAVRATILOVA

It also makes sense to play tennis in shorts or shorter skirts rather than what Suzanne Lenglen used to have to put up with, with long dresses, etc. I think the form follows function, on the tennis court anyway.

穿着短裤或短裙打网球也很有意义,而不是像苏珊·朗格伦(Suzanne Lenglen)过去必须忍受的那样,穿长裙等。我认为形式追随功能,无论如何在网球场上都是如此。

There’s nothing wrong with being sexy as long as it’s not sexist.

只要不存在性别歧视,性感就没有什么问题。

Guys get paid more if they’re good looking.

如果男人长得好看,他们的薪水就会更高。

They get more endorsements.

他们得到了更多的认可。

Women, same thing, but then it becomes too disparate.

女人也是如此,但随后就变得太不同了。

That’s when it becomes a problem, when you have to be sexy in order to be paid the same.

当你必须性感才能得到同样的报酬时,这就会成为一个问题。

Ah, the guy doesn’t have to be sexy, right?

啊,这个家伙不一定要性感,对吧?

Look at the TV people.

看看电视里的人。

On gender stereotypes and tennis critiques

关于性别刻板印象和网球批评

COWEN

Here’s a question from a reader, and I quote, “In her autobiography, Martina observed that US women, such as Chris Evert, had to conform to far more rigid gender stereotypes than Czech women like she did.

这是一位读者提出的问题,我引用一下:“玛蒂娜在她的自传中指出,克里斯·埃弗特等美国女性必须遵守比她这样的捷克女性严格得多的性别刻板印象。

Does Martina still believe that US gender stereotypes are a lot more constricting and universally imposed in America today than in, say, Central Europe?”

玛蒂娜是否仍然认为美国的性别刻板印象在今天的美国比在中欧等地更加严格和普遍强加?”

NAVRATILOVA

That’s a good question, but I said that a long time ago.

这是个好问题,但我很久以前就说过了。

That biography came out 30 years ago.

那本传记出版于 30 年前。

NAVRATILOVA

I really don’t remember what all I said.

我真的不记得我说了什么。

Once in a while I sign it, and I look inside.

偶尔我会在上面签名,然后看看里面。

I’m like, “Oh my God.

我想,“天啊。

I can’t believe I said that.

我不敢相信我这么说了。

This is way too personal.”

这太个人化了。”

The one thing growing up in a Communist country, perhaps the only good thing about it, was that it was OK to be a female athlete, or anything, really.

在共产主义国家长大的一件事,也许是唯一的好处,就是成为一名女运动员或其他什么都可以,真的。

There were women doctors, professors, very common.

女医生、女教授很常见。

Not in the political scene — there was always guys, for some reason.

不是在政治舞台上——“出于某种原因,总是有男人。”

But every other field, women were just as encouraged to go into that field as men.

但在其他领域,女性和男性一样被鼓励进入该领域。

The one thing growing up in a Communist country, perhaps the only good thing about it, was that it was OK to be a female athlete, or anything, really.

不是在政治舞台上——“出于某种原因,总是有男人。”

But every other field, women were just as encouraged to go into that field as men.

但在其他领域,女性和男性一样被鼓励进入该领域。

There was no “Oh, you want to be an electrician?

没有“哦,你想成为一名电工吗?

You have to be a man.” No, or a professor, whatever.

你必须是个男人。”不,或者教授,无论如何。

It all worked.

这一切都奏效了。

When somebody said doctor, you didn’t assume it was a man.

当有人说医生时,你不会认为这是一个男人。

Whereas it was an assumption here, I still make that mistake myself.

虽然这是一个假设,但我自己仍然犯这个错误。

Being an athlete, I was encouraged to be an athlete, and to do to the best.

作为一名运动员,我被鼓励成为一名运动员,并做到最好。

It wasn’t like I had to be begging to be able to play tennis because it’s only for boys.

我不需要乞求才能打网球,因为网球只适合男孩。

Same with the clothing — maybe we were weren’t dressing so sexy because there just wasn’t anything sexy to be bought there.

服装也一样——也许我们穿得不那么性感,因为那里没有任何性感的东西可买。

You just went to the store and see what was available.

您刚刚去了商店,看看有什么商品。

I think Chris was just conforming, not because of any preconceived ideas, but she came from a good Catholic family, and she wanted to please her parents.

我认为克里斯只是顺从,并不是因为任何先入为主的想法,而是她来自一个良好的天主教家庭,她想取悦她的父母。

So it was more that than, I think, any American culture.

所以我认为它比任何美国文化都更重要。

It was actually more cultural within the family how you grew up.

实际上,你的成长方式更多地取决于家庭内部的文化。

On technological progress in tennis

论网球技术进步

The NBA, the NFL, and Major League Baseball, they’ve all been revolutionized by analytics and statistics, but tennis so far, not that much as far as I can tell.

NBA、NFL 和美国职业棒球大联盟,它们都因分析和统计而发生了革命性的变化,但据我所知,到目前为止,网球还没有发生太大变化。

You may know better.

你可能更了解。

Is this coming to tennis?

And if so, what kind of effect is it likely to have?

如果是这样,可能会产生什么样的影响?

NAVRATILOVA

It’s there now.

The knowledge is there.

知识就在那里。

People are figuring out how to use it to their advantage.

人们正在研究如何利用它来发挥自己的优势。

They have all kinds of statistics now.

他们现在有各种各样的统计数据。

With the Hawk-Eye, when you play matches, they even have cameras on practice courts.

有了鹰眼,当你参加比赛时,他们甚至在练习场上安装了摄像机。

You can measure how many revolutions per shot, where it landed, how many mistakes you made.

您可以测量每次射击的转数、落地位置以及犯了多少错误。

It can get too much, but you can certainly use it to your advantage to see where the weaknesses are.

它可能会变得太多,但你当然可以利用它来发挥自己的优势,看看弱点在哪里。

It’s very obvious where the strengths are with the opponents, etc. It would help in making game plans and all that.

对手的优势在哪里等是非常明显的。这将有助于制定比赛计划等等。

You can analyze all you want, but ultimately, you just got to hit the damn ball and hit it well.

你可以分析你想要的一切,但最终,你必须击出该死的球,并且击得好。

COWEN

Are the rules of tennis flawed in some way?

网球规则是否存在某种缺陷?

Are games too long or competitions too long or too short?

Is there too much or too little regulation of string and racket technology?

对线和球拍技术的监管是否太多或太少?

Would you change the scoring system?

你会改变评分系统吗?

Can you improve on what we have?

你能改进我们现有的吗?

NAVRATILOVA

That’s a lot of questions.

这是很多问题。

COWEN

Other than the pay.

除了工资之外。

NAVRATILOVA

One question at a time, please.

请一次提出一个问题。

Regulations, absolutely, the rackets have taken over the sport, and the strings.

毫无疑问,规则已经接管了这项运动,还有球线。

The strings, when you put them on a microscope, they have these little teeth.

当你把弦放在显微镜下时,它们有这些小牙齿。

They bite the balls so you can put a lot more spin on the ball, which makes it a lot easier to hit it.

它们咬住球,这样你就可以给球带来更多旋转,从而更容易击球。

The rackets, the sweet spot used to be about this big .

球拍,最佳击球点曾经大约有这么大。

Now it’s this big .

现在都这么大了。

As long as you don’t hit the frame, you’re good to go, so it’s very forgiving.

只要你不撞到框架,你就可以继续前进,所以它非常宽容。

Everybody hits a much better ball, and it’s more difficult to come to the net because it’s easier to dip the ball with the spin, etc.

每个人都能打出更好的球,而且更难到达网前,因为通过旋转更容易将球浸入球网,等等。

The racket manufacturers have really changed the sport too much in my mind.

在我看来,球拍制造商确实给这项运动带来了太多改变。

You don’t see as much variety because of the equipment really favoring the baselines, the ground strokes over volleys.

你看不到那么多的变化,因为这些设备确实有利于底线、地面击球而不是截击。

COWEN

Top players today, they don’t have to be as smart as in your time?

今天的顶尖球员,不一定要像你们那个时代那么聪明?

NAVRATILOVA

I don’t know.

我不知道。

I haven’t measured their IQ.

我没有测量过他们的智商。

COWEN

It sounds like more strength oriented and less cognitive.

听起来更注重力量,更少认知。

NAVRATILOVA

Yes, it is.

是的。

It can be.

可以的。

You can get by with lower tennis IQ.

即使你的网球智商较低,你也可以过得去。

If you can power past people, you don’t have to hit around them, you go through them.

如果你能超越别人,你就不必绕过他们,而是穿过他们。

The rackets are more forgiving.

球拍更宽容。

It’s like having much more horsepower.

这就像拥有更多的马力。

You just step on the gas, and off you go.

您只需踩下油门,然后就可以出发了。

Technique is not as prevalent, and tactics, although now you find different parts of the court because of the strings, also because of the rackets, which makes it different.

技术并不那么普遍,而战术,尽管现在你会因为弦、也因为球拍而发现球场的不同部分,这使得它有所不同。

It’s just different.

只是不同而已。

It’s not necessarily better or worse, but less variety, and that’s what I’m missing.

它不一定是更好或更差,但多样性较少,而这正是我所缺少的。

COWEN

Mixed doubles also seems less popular, right?

混双似乎也不太受欢迎,对吧?

Is that another example of declining interest in IQ?

这是人们对智商兴趣下降的另一个例子吗?

NAVRATILOVA

There is so much more money in singles and so much interest in singles.

单身人士有更多的钱,而且人们对单身人士的兴趣也很大。

Fewer players play singles and doubles.

打单打和双打的球员越来越少。

Also, because you win one major and your life is made.

另外,因为你赢得了一项大满贯赛,你的人生就被创造了。

So you don’t concentrate so much on .

所以你不会太专注于。

You don’t want to make anything hamper that possibility, so people play less.

你不想让任何事情阻碍这种可能性,所以人们玩得更少。

I played singles, doubles, and mixed a whole bunch of times.

我打过很多次单打、双打和混打。

In fact, I probably played too much in my 30s.

其实我30多岁的时候可能玩的太多了。

I should have played less, but I didn’t know any better, and I liked playing mixed.

我应该少玩一点,但我不知道更好,而且我喜欢混合玩。

Maybe that’s one of my other big accomplishments.

I won singles, doubles, and mixed.

One year at Wimbledon, in ’86, it rained so much that I only played two matches in the first week because it rained.

We were in the quarterfinals on the mixed doubles on Sunday.

周日我们进入了混双四分之一决赛。

I was on the court for six hours because there was no tie break in the third set.

我在场上呆了六个小时,因为第三盘没有抢七。

I won the first match in three sets.

我在三盘比赛中赢得了第一场比赛。

Then we played again semifinals in three sets.

然后我们又打了三盘半决赛。

I think it was 23–21 in the third.

我认为第三节的比分是23-21。

Then the final was three sets as well.

然后决赛也是三盘。

So yeah, I was tired that day.

所以是的,那天我很累。

NAVRATILOVA

That’s why people don’t play — because it takes too much energy.

这就是为什么人们不玩——因为它需要太多的精力。

The game is more physical, and they don’t want to hamper anything.

比赛更加注重身体对抗,他们不想妨碍任何事情。

But I like playing tennis so much that I couldn’t see not playing doubles.

When I look at what’s happening now, I tend to view it more as recreating a version of late 19th-century politics, where things are very partisan and wild, and leaders make different kinds of irresponsible decisions or have strange rhetoric by, say, the standards of the ’80s or the ’90s.

当我审视现在正在发生的事情时,我更倾向于将其视为重现 19 世纪末政治的一个版本,那里的事情非常党派之争和疯狂,领导人做出各种不负责任的决定,或者以 80 年代或 90 年代的标准来看奇怪的言论。

Seriously, I do a lot of speaking.

说实话,我说了很多话。

I do speeches around the world on women’s issues, LGBT.

我在世界各地就女性、LGBT 问题发表演讲。

Still being an activist, I’m going to march on Saturday in Miami.

作为一名活动家,我将于周六在迈阿密游行。

NAVRATILOVA

I can’t come to Washington, but I’ll be marching in Miami.

我不能来华盛顿,但我会在迈阿密游行。

Actually, we live about 10 minutes from Parkland so it really hit home as my daughter, her friends were wondering whether their friends were impacted — of course, everybody was impacted — but if people got hurt.

事实上,我们住的地方距离帕克兰大约 10 分钟路程,所以这真的很打击我的女儿,她的朋友们想知道他们的朋友是否受到了影响 ——“当然,每个人都受到了影响”—— 但如果有人受伤了。

I think just keep being an activist, keep speaking out for the right things.

我认为只要继续做一名积极分子,继续为正确的事情发声。

I’ve always been a proponent for the little guy, always defending the little kid against the bullies.

我一直是小家伙的支持者,总是保护小孩子免受欺凌。

I’ll keep doing that because that’s just who I am.

我会继续这样做,因为这就是我。

I can’t help it.

我情不自禁。

COWEN

Final question before we get to audience Q&A, to the extent you are still optimistic about the United States .

在我们进行观众问答之前的最后一个问题,您对美国仍然持乐观态度。

.

NAVRATILOVA

Absolutely.

绝对地。

COWEN

。

what is it that most makes you optimistic?

最让你乐观的是什么?

NAVRATILOVA

Our institutions.

我们的机构。

I think the people are waking up.

我认为人们正在觉醒。

I think we slid into complacency and being comfortable, almost lazy, as nothing bad is going to happen.

我认为我们陷入了自满和舒适,几乎是懒惰,因为不会发生任何不好的事情。

Little by little, that frog is going to get boiled in that water.

渐渐地,那只青蛙就会被水煮沸。

I think a lot of people are starting to jump out of the water now.

我想现在很多人都开始跳出水面了。

I think people are waking up and getting involved.

我认为人们正在觉醒并参与其中。

Most of all, the young ones.

最重要的是,年轻人。

Again, maybe Parkland might be the tipping point for a horrible reason, but in a good way now that the young kids are realizing that we don’t want the old people to decide what our lives will look like 20 years from now or 30 years from now or what they look like now, actually.

再说一次,也许帕克兰可能是一个可怕原因的转折点,但现在年轻的孩子们意识到我们不希望老年人决定我们20年后或30年后的生活,或者实际上他们现在的样子,这是一个很好的方式。

I think I’m optimistic because of the young ones.

我想我之所以乐观是因为年轻人。

COWEN

Martina, thank you very much.

NAVRATILOVA

Tyler, you need to drink more water.

泰勒,你需要多喝水。

You’re not hydrating at all.

你根本没有补水。

NAVRATILOVA

That’s the athlete in me.

这就是我内心的运动员。

COWEN

We will take questions at two mics.

我们将通过两个麦克风提问。

I will alternate.

我会交替。

Please note these are questions.

请注意这些是问题。

We are here to hear from Martina.

我们来这里是为了听取玛蒂娜的消息。

If you start making a speech, I will cut you off.

如果你开始演讲,我就会打断你。

She of course has the option of not answering any question she doesn’t want to.

她当然可以选择不回答任何她不想回答的问题。

NAVRATILOVA

Challenge.

挑战。

COWEN

Please form a line at the mic.

请在麦克风前排成一队。

NAVRATILOVA

Is there a line?

有线吗?

Anybody want to ask questions?

有人想问问题吗?

I talked to the tennis team before I got here, so they’re out of questions.

在我来这里之前我和网球队谈过,所以他们没有问题。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

Hi Martina.

嗨玛蒂娜。

NAVRATILOVA

Hello.

你好。

COWEN

Yes, question.

是的,问题。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

I just wanted to say it’s an honor to meet you and listen to your speech.

我只是想说很荣幸见到您并聆听您的演讲。

You’re awesome.

你太棒了。

NAVRATILOVA

Thank you.

谢谢。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

Thank you George Mason for having us.

感谢乔治·梅森邀请我们。

Question going back to the big news today and recently about the pay gap and Wimbledon, my thought and, I guess, my question to you is, moving forward this year and from now on, will you not do any commentary either with BBC or here in the United States unless it’s guaranteed that the pay gap between you and someone like John McEnroe will be completely decreased?

问题回到今天和最近关于薪酬差距和温布尔登的重大新闻,我的想法,我想,我对你的问题是,从今年开始,从现在开始,你不会在 BBC 或美国这里做任何评论,除非能保证你和约翰·麦肯罗这样的人之间的薪酬差距将完全缩小?

NAVRATILOVA

Again, it’s not about me and John McEnroe.

再说一遍,这与我和约翰·麦肯罗无关。

It’s about what women should be getting paid compared to men.

这是关于与男性相比女性应该得到的报酬。

I think transparency is the biggest reason why we don’t have equal pay or closer to it, certainly because people don’t know what anybody else is making.

我认为透明度是我们无法实现同工同酬或接近同工同酬的最大原因,当然是因为人们不知道其他人赚了什么。

I said I would work for BBC for free.

我说过我会免费为 BBC 工作。

That’s the only game in town.

这是城里唯一的游戏。

I really wanted to work.

我真的很想工作。

I wanted to speak to people in England.

我想和英国人说话。

Wimbledon has been always broadcast by BBC ever since there was TV.

自从有电视以来,温布尔登一直由 BBC 转播。

It’s always been BBC, so it’s the only game in town.

一直都是 BBC 播出,所以这是城里唯一的游戏。

When they tell you this is all there is, you take it.

当他们告诉你这就是全部时,你就接受它。

I would probably work rather for free than get paid one-tenth, quite frankly, because it’s not about the money.

坦率地说,我可能宁愿免费工作,也不愿拿十分之一的报酬,因为这与钱无关。

It’s about what’s fair.

这是关于什么是公平的。

I don’t have that problem with Tennis Channel.

我对网球频道没有这个问题。

I don’t have a problem there.

我在那里没有问题。

I think they’re very fair.

我认为他们非常公平。

Same with BT Sport, I also do some work with them.

和英国电信体育频道一样,我也和他们一起做一些工作。

I haven’t, quite frankly, known that it was this disparate.

坦率地说,我不知道这是如此不同。

I think it’s across the board for the other athletes whether it’s Lindsay Davenport compared to what Andy Roddick’s making or Tracy Austin compared to Tim Henman or whatever.

我认为对于其他运动员来说,无论是林赛·达文波特与安迪·罗迪克的成就相比,还是特雷西·奥斯汀​​与蒂姆·亨曼相比,都是全面的。

However you want to put it, the pay gap is huge.

不管你怎么说,薪酬差距都是巨大的。

It’s a lot bigger than we even thought, and it needs to stop.

它比我们想象的要大得多,它需要停止。

Maybe tennis will be another push forward in the right direction.

也许网球将是朝正确方向的又一次推动。

It’s not about how much we’re getting paid.

这与我们得到多少报酬无关。

It’s about getting paid fairly compared to other people.

这是关于与其他人相比获得公平的报酬。

Next question.

下一个问题。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

Hi Martina.

嗨玛蒂娜。

NAVRATILOVA

Hi.

你好。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

Thanks so much for coming.

非常感谢您的光临。

It’s been a pleasure to hear your comments.

很高兴听到您的评论。

NAVRATILOVA

Thank you.

谢谢。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

I have a very practical question, and it deals with nutrition and your feelings about nutrition.

我有一个非常实际的问题,涉及营养以及您对营养的感受。

Would you be able to reveal your diet?

能透露一下你的饮食习惯吗?

NAVRATILOVA

Ah.

啊。

COWEN

NAVRATILOVA: It’s interesting because I’ve .

NAVRATILOVA:这很有趣,因为我已经。

.

。

.

。

I don’t even want to start.

我什至不想开始。

Yes, I’ll tell you.

是的,我会告诉你。

Just the last six weeks, I started this diet called Whole30 because I was too used to having a drink every night, or two.

就在过去六周,我开始了这种名为 Whole30 的饮食习惯,因为我太习惯每晚或两晚喝一杯了。

My stomach got a little bit bigger.

我的肚子有点大了。

And I’ve been eating less, but I still couldn’t shake it.

而且我吃得越来越少了,但还是无法摆脱它。

I’m fit.

我很健康。

I’m in good shape and everything, but I was just ticked off.

我的身体状况一切都很好,但我只是很生气。

Most of all, I didn’t want to get into a habit of drinking.

最重要的是,我不想养成喝酒的习惯。

I’ve been eating healthy since ’81, when I really got into nutrition, but I still couldn’t shake it.

从 81 年开始,我就开始健康饮食,当时我真正开始关注营养,但我仍然无法摆脱它。

So this Whole30 is no dairy, no alcohol, and no grains, which means that’s no sugar.

因此,这款 Whole30 不含乳制品、酒精和谷物,这意味着不含糖。

Grains is sugar.

谷物是糖。

I mostly did it just to see what I feel like, and I’ve had much better energy.

我这么做主要是为了看看自己的感受,而且我的精力也好多了。

I also cut out coffee, which I didn’t need to.

我还戒掉了咖啡,这是我不需要的。

I’ve been a much, much happier camper, and the weight came off without even looking at the scale — my pants all of a sudden, like, “Oh, they’re falling off.” I feel much, much better.

我是一个非常非常快乐的露营者,甚至不用看体重秤,体重就减轻了——我的裤子突然间就好像,“哦,它们掉下来了。”我感觉好多了。

That’s it, mostly proteins and nuts, lots of nuts, avocados, and eggs, and lots of veggies.

就是这样,主要是蛋白质和坚果,大量的坚果、鳄梨、鸡蛋和大量的蔬菜。

No grains.

没有谷物。

Grain is sugar.

谷物是糖。

Just realize how much pasta is just a filler.

只要意识到有多少面食只是一种填充物即可。

COWEN

Next question.

下一个问题。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

I have two totally disconnected questions.

我有两个完全无关的问题。

Quick ones though.

不过很快的。

I was wondering what your opinion was of the Billie Jean King movie with Bobby Riggs.

我想知道你对比莉·简·金与鲍比·里格斯主演的电影有何看法。

My other question is, what was your favorite place to eat in Charlottesville?

我的另一个问题是,您最喜欢在夏洛茨维尔吃饭的地方是什么?

NAVRATILOVA

I don’t remember the Charlottesville question because that was 30, almost 40 years ago.

我不记得夏洛茨维尔的问题了,因为那是 30 年前、差不多 40 年前的事了。

That’s a while back.

那是不久前的事了。

The Bobby Riggs, the movie, I was not in the country because it was in ’73.

《鲍比·里格斯》这部电影,我当时不在乡下,因为那是 73 年的事。

I had just had to leave to go back to Czechoslovakia because my visa ran out.

由于签证到期,我不得不离开返回捷克斯洛伐克。

I did not go to Houston but just read about it in the paper.

我没有去休斯敦,只是在报纸上看到的。

I never watched the actual match.

我从来没有看过真正的比赛。

I was invited to these premieres when they were starting them at Wimbledon and the US Open last year, but I couldn’t make it.

去年他们在温布尔登和美国公开赛上举办这些首映式时,我被邀请参加这些首映式,但我没能到场。

I was working or whatever.

我当时正在工作或者其他什么的。

Ironically, I finally said, “OK, I’m going to watch it on the plane back from Melbourne” because that’s when I catch up on all of my movies, catch up on the long flights.

讽刺的是,我最后说,“好吧,我要在从墨尔本回来的飞机上看它”,因为那时我才能看完所有的电影,赶上长途飞行。

Guess who’s on the flight?

猜猜飞机上有谁?

Billie Jean.

比莉·简.

NAVRATILOVA

She was sitting over there with her girlfriend and behind me is Venus Williams, and then John McEnroe was there as well.

她和她的女朋友坐在那儿,我身后是维纳斯·威廉姆斯,然后约翰·麦肯罗也在那里。

I think he flew first.

我认为他先飞了。

We were in business.

我们是在做生意。

NAVRATILOVA

I’m kidding.

我在开玩笑。

I don’t know.

我不知道。

NAVRATILOVA

I don’t know, actually.

实际上我不知道。

I didn’t realize John was on the plane as well.

我没有意识到约翰也在飞机上。

Anyways, I watched the movie.

无论如何,我看了这部电影。

They took some liberties, but it was well done, very well done.

他们采取了一些自由行动,但做得很好,做得非常好。

I thought Emma and Steve Carell were fantastic.

我认为艾玛和史蒂夫·卡瑞尔非常棒。

COWEN

What’s the best tennis movie, if I may interject, your favorite tennis movie?

如果我可以插一句,最好的网球电影是什么?你最喜欢的网球电影是什么?

NAVRATILOVA

Well, that one was good.

嗯,那个很好。

I think this one probably would have been the best.

我认为这可能是最好的。

Also, it had very much a social message.

此外,它还传达了很多社会信息。

I think the tennis was the best in this one from the tennis movies that I’ve seen.

我认为网球是我看过的网球电影中最好的一部。

COWEN

Next question.

下一个问题。

NAVRATILOVA

I’m going to borrow some of your water.

我要借你一些水。

COWEN

Sure.

当然。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

I’m curious hearing what trends you’ve seen in tennis doubles strategy over the last 10 years, what you see coming up?

我很好奇您在过去 10 年中看到了网球双打策略的趋势,您认为未来会出现什么?

For example, it seems like players are clogging the middle a lot more now and leaving open the shot up the line.

例如,现在球员似乎更多地堵塞了中路,并在前线留下了空位。

NAVRATILOVA

Well, the biggest thing in doubles is cover the middle.

嗯,双打最重要的就是掩护中场。

People cover the line too much, and you may get passed once or twice down the line, but you will get 15 balls go through the middle.

人们过多地覆盖防线,你可能会在防线上被传球一两次,但你会得到 15 个球穿过中间。

You can always blame it on your partner, right?

你总是可以把责任归咎于你的伴侣,对吗?

NAVRATILOVA

“So, it was your shot.” But if it’s down your line, everybody’s embarrassed because it’s my line.

“所以,这是你的机会。”但如果这是你的底线,每个人都会感到尴尬,因为这是我的底线。

So people guard the line with their life, and they leave the middle too open in regular doubles.

因此,人们用生命守卫防线,而在常规双打中,他们将中间留得太空。

Professional doubles, they’re better at covering the middle.

职业双打,他们更擅长覆盖中路。

But it’s less serve and volley.

但发球和截击较少。

People are serving and staying back, again, because the rackets make it so much easier to hit those ground strokes.

人们再次发球并留在后面,因为球拍使击球变得更加容易。

You see longer rallies, some fun doubles.

你会看到更长的集会,一些有趣的双打。

But I’ll go for the old-style serve and volley.

但我会选择老式的发球和截击。

Yeah, serve and volley still works if you do it well enough.

是的,如果你做得足够好,发球和截击仍然有效。

COWEN

Next question.

下一个问题。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

I guess one justification for a different pay scale for men and women in the tournaments is the difference in games they play for finals, three games for women, five for the men.

我想男子和女子在锦标赛中采用不同薪资标准的一个理由是他们在决赛中参加的比赛不同,女子为三场,男子为五场。

Could you comment on that?

你能否对此发表评论?

NAVRATILOVA

Three out of five sets.

五局三局。

Yes, they do that in every round.

是的,他们每一轮都这样做。

They’ve been doing that forever at Wimbledon.

他们在温布尔登一直这样做。

Then the other slams caught up.

然后其他大满贯也追上了。

Then some men’s tournaments were three-out-of-five finals, but the rest of it was two out of three.

然后有些男子比赛是五战三胜的决赛,但其他比赛都是三战二胜。

Then they realized it just takes too much out of them.

然后他们意识到这对他们来说太过分了。

So all the tournaments now are two out of three except in the Grand Slams, and that’s three out of five.

所以现在除了大满贯之外,所有赛事都是三分之二,也就是五分之三。

Women — they were holding that against us, actually, when we asked for equal prize money.

女性——事实上,当我们要求同等奖金时,她们是在反对我们。

They said, “Oh, but you only play two out of three, and men play three out of five.” And we said, “We’ll play three out of five.” “Oh no, no, no, no. We don’t want you to do that.”

他们说:“哦,但是你只玩三局之二,而男人则玩五局之三。”我们说:“我们会打五局中的三局。” “哦,不,不,不,不。我们不希望你这样做。”

NAVRATILOVA

So there’s that.

就是这样。

We offered.

我们提出了。

I think the men should play two out of three, but that’s just me.

我认为男人应该打三分之二,但那只是我。

That’s another story.

那是另一个故事了。

Also, they found that until they slowed down the grass at Wimbledon, which was the last tournament that finally gave us equal prize money, the ball was in play longer in the women’s matches — in two-out-of-three-set matches — than the men’s matches, three out of five.

此外,他们还发现,在温布尔登(这是最后一项最终为我们提供同等奖金的赛事)的草地放慢速度之前,女子比赛(三盘两胜)的比赛时间比男子比赛(五盘中的三盘)的比赛时间更长。

But you don’t get paid for quantity, you get paid for quality.

但你不会因为数量而获得报酬,而是因为质量而获得报酬。

Actually they did studies.

事实上他们确实有研究。

Most people came to Wimbledon — they’ve done questionnaires — most people came to watch men, but then when they were leaving, they actually enjoyed watching the women more than the men.

大多数人来温网 ——“他们做了问卷调查”——“大多数人来看男人比赛,但当他们离开时,他们实际上比男人更喜欢看女人比赛。

It depends on who you watched that day, whatever.

不管怎样,这取决于你那天看的是谁。

But the whole point is that we contribute equally to the success of the tournament.

但重点是我们为赛事的成功做出了同样的贡献。

We’re willing to play three out of five, but they didn’t want us to do that.

我们愿意打五分之三的比赛,但他们不希望我们这样做。

It’s silly.

这很愚蠢。

I think the men should play two out of three.

我认为男人应该打三分之二。

Because both men and women play, they should be paid the same.

因为男人和女人都玩,所以他们应该得到相同的报酬。

End of story.

故事结束。

It’s the right thing to do, by the way.

顺便说一句,这是正确的做法。

NAVRATILOVA

They were using that with the McEnroe also, that he does longer matches.

他们也在麦肯罗身上使用了这一点,即他进行更长的比赛。

He does women’s matches.

他参加女子比赛。

I wanted to do the women’s final, but he’s doing the women’s final.

我想参加女子决赛,但他参加了女子决赛。

You don’t get paid because you talk longer or whatever.

你不会因为你说得更长或其他什么而得到报酬。

I’m willing to do men’s matches, but they don’t let me.

我愿意参加男子比赛,但他们不让我。

So there’s that.

就是这样。

On Tennis Channel I’ve done a bunch of men’s matches and it’s a lot of fun.

在网球频道上,我参加了很多男子比赛,这很有趣。

COWEN

Next question.

下一个问题。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

This is another tennis question.

这是另一个网球问题。

I noticed a lot of the analysts will attribute a lot of thinking in the court when there’s a shot that is a successful winner — like he said, “Instead of going down the line, he obviously went across the court and thought very carefully about that shot” — when often, it seems to me, they’re just hitting the damn ball, as you say.

我注意到,当有一个成功的投篮成功时,很多分析师都会在球场上进行很多思考 ——就像他说的那样,“他显然没有走底线,而是穿过球场,非常仔细地考虑了那个投篮” ——很多时候,在我看来,他们只是击中了该死的球,就像你说的那样。

When you’re out there playing, how much of it is the thought process as opposed to just hitting the damn ball?

当你在场上打球时,有多少是思考过程而不是仅仅击球?

NAVRATILOVA

It’s both.

两者都是。

But you have to think very quickly because it happens in a split second, doesn’t it?

但你必须快速思考,因为它发生在瞬间,不是吗?

I always said it’s better to hit the wrong shot well than hit the right shot badly because if you overthink it, at the end, you may hit the right shot, but by then you’re like, “Ahhh, maybe I should hit it over there.”

我总是说,打错球好比打错球好,因为如果你想得太多,最后你可能会打对球,但到那时你就会想,“啊,也许我应该在那里打球。”

Just go with your instinct and you play percentages.

只要跟随你的直觉,你就可以发挥百分比。

You have a strategy.

你有一个策略。

If it works, you don’t change it.

如果它有效,你就不要改变它。

If you’re losing, then you change it.

如果你输了,那就改变它。

Maybe you go down the line, down the line, down the line.

也许你会一直走下去,走下去,走下去。

Finally they cover it, so now you go crosscourt next time they cover it.

最后他们覆盖了它,所以现在你下次他们覆盖它时就可以跨场了。

It’s always cat and mouse with your opponent.

与对手总是猫捉老鼠。

That’s the fun part.

这是有趣的部分。

Sometimes, it’s easy to overanalyze.

有时,很容易过度分析。

As I said, better to hit the wrong shot well than hit the right shot badly.

正如我所说,打好错误的球比打坏正确的球要好。

I think that sometimes they’re just talking out of their ear.

我认为有时他们只是在耳边说话。

看你打球真是太令人兴奋了,所以我很感激。

NAVRATILOVA

Thank you.

谢谢。

AUDIENCE MEMBER

I was going to ask a tennis question, but I’ll switch it.

我本来想问一个网球问题,但我换个话题。

Gay rights, there’s been, obviously, enormous progress, and sometimes pulling backwards.

同性恋权利显然取得了巨大进步,有时甚至出现倒退。

I wanted to hear what you thought about in these times, what you think are the real battlegrounds that people should be fighting now.

我想听听您在这个时期的想法,您认为现在人们应该战斗的真正战场是什么。

NAVRATILOVA

Yeah, I mean, states’ rights.

是的,我的意思是,州的权利。

Michelangelo Signorile, who’s a gay rights activist and a TV and radio personality, actually wrote a book about it.

米开朗基罗·西格诺莱(Michelangelo Signorile)是一名同性恋权利活动家,也是一名电视和广播名人,他实际上写了一本关于此事的书。

He thought once we got the right to marry, everybody was celebrating.

他认为一旦我们获得结婚权,每个人都会庆祝。

He says, “Just watch.

他说:“就看吧。

There’s going to be so much backlash, and so many state laws are going to come up where they will try to roll back what we had just won.” And that’s exactly what’s been happening.

将会有如此多的强烈反对,许多州将出台法律,试图推翻我们刚刚赢得的胜利。”这正是正在发生的事情。

So you just be alert and pay attention to what’s going on in your state, in your county, in your district, whatever, and fight those battles one by one.

所以你只要保持警惕,关注你所在的州、你的县、你的区等等正在发生的事情,然后一一打好这些仗。

It’s a shame that we still have to do that.

遗憾的是我们仍然必须这样做。

That’s why I wish the federal government would step up and just make it against the law to make these regulations.

这就是为什么我希望联邦政府能够站出来,以违反法律的方式制定这些规定。

But they’re going the wrong way.

但他们走错了路。

They’re going the other way on that, and certainly, Trump has not been helpful in that regard at all.

他们在这方面走了相反的路,当然,特朗普在这方面根本没有提供任何帮助。

That’s an understatement.

这是轻描淡写的说法。

Yeah, he held that rainbow flag during one of the rallies, but he didn’t know it was upside down.

是的,他在一次集会上举着彩虹旗,但他不知道它是颠倒的。

NAVRATILOVA

He says, “I’ll be the biggest friend to the LGBT community.” Yeah, with friends like that .

他说:“我将成为 LGBT 群体最好的朋友。”是的,和这样的朋友在一起。

.

。

.

NAVRATILOVA

You run the other way.

你往另一条路跑。

Just pay attention and get involved on a local level.

只需关注并参与当地层面即可。

Change comes from the grassroots.

改变来自基层。

It should come from the top down.

它应该是从上到下的。

It’s much quicker for it to happen from the top down, but these days, we have to do it from the bottom up.

从上到下进行要快得多,但如今,我们必须从下到上进行。

So just stay vigilant and stay involved.

因此,请保持警惕并参与其中。

You just run and play and shoot and go the other way.

Then the combination of finesse, and also, I’m a bit of a mutt in that I shoot lefty, but I do a better layup right-handed because it’s like a toss on the serve.

然后是技巧的结合,而且,我有点笨拙,因为我用左手投篮,但我用右手上篮更好,因为这就像发球时的抛球。

我用右手运球更好,我向右移动更好,但我向左投篮,所以我让人们感到困惑。

Just one little side thing — I’m a high school coach around here for tennis.

I am thinking, after hearing your fitness regimen, that I’ve been a little too light on my kids.

AUDIENCE MEMBER

Physical fitness, if you don’t get to the ball you can’t hit it so well.

When you get tired, you start making bad decisions, which goes for real life too, which is why it’s always important to take good care of yourself, period.
