索契冬奥前后令人眼花缭乱的诸多新闻中， 我首选节译阿波罗的这一篇， 是出于以下三个原因。首先， 作为老对手老朋友， 阿波罗是相当了解安的， 他的看法具有一定的说服力。 其次， 这篇采访的时间是在比赛前， 未受比赛结果的影响，评价相对客观。最后， 此文提供了一个独特的视角， 即同行在赛前是如何看待安的选择。
除了上文， 阿波罗作为NBC的特约评论员， 在比赛现场也对安做出了相当有意思的口头评价， 我会按照时间顺序，依次将其在1000， 500， 和5000接力时的评论翻译出， 以供参考。
此外，我会简单介绍其评论中涉及的一些背景情况。
水平有限， 仅为抛砖引玉。

WC: So I know you were rivals with Ahn Hyun-Soo, who is now known as Viktor Ahn and is skating for Russia. Can you talk about him as a skater and his path as kind of a redemption story?
记者： 我知道你曾是安贤洙的对手， 他现在为俄罗斯滑冰， 改叫维克多安了。 如果（我们）把他选择的道路当成某种救赎故事的话， 对他作为一名滑冰运动员以及他的人生道路， 你能谈谈你的看法吗？

1） 阿波罗对于安作为一名滑冰者的评价
Apolo: So Ahn and I have been skating with each other since 2002, we went all the way through until he actually got injured pre-Vancouver, and he probably would’ve been on that team. In my eyes, Viktor Ahn, as he’s now called, is the most beautiful short track skating athlete in the world in terms of his technique and the way he skates. He’s so good in fact-- we have a 3000m in World Cups, we don’t have that race in the Olympic level, so it’s a 27 lap race, it’s very slow in the beginning. I used to follow this kid just to watch him skate. Think about this, I’m trying to beat this kid, I’m watching him skate thinking, ‘this kid skates amazing.’ I always said in my head that if he ever figures out how to beat me and my weaknesses, it’s going to be very hard to get that back from him, and we traded back and forth multiple times.

非常好，期待中，楼主加油

喔~~楼楼辛苦了，，温哥华时瞬间迷上阿波罗

楼主译得很好

我很怨念！一大早我就第一个发现亲的帖子了，但是怕插楼，我就忍着没回，只是加了精表示支持但是…为什么大家都不厚道的插了呢

2） 阿波罗对于安选择的人生道路的评价
As far as a redemption story, I think it’s phenomenal. The kid went through a lot in terms of injury, through his own federation, and he made a huge gamble going to Russia and competing for an alternate country. For me, personally, I would never consider that, but I do appreciate where he’s coming from, it shows his passion and love for what he’s doing in the sport. He may not be as good as he used to be, he may not have the same technique as he used to have, but what I like now about Viktor Ahn is he’s skating for himself, he’s not being pushed or pressured by the coaches, he’s skating because he really, really wants to win and he really loves the sport, and that, to me, shows the epitome of why athletes are so cool.

楼主好棒！！！

阿波罗： 至于救赎的故事， 我认为那是非常了不起的。这个小孩承受了很多（磨难，诸如伤病以及和自己冰上联盟的（矛盾）， 然后他做了一场豪赌， 去了俄罗斯代表另一个国家比赛。 对我个人来说， 我绝不会考虑这样做， 但是我可以理解他的选择从何而来。 他的决定显示了他对其所从事的运动的热爱。 也许他不再像以前那样总是那么出色了， 也许他不再拥有以前常常使用的技巧了， 但是对于维克多安， 我现在所欣赏的是----他是为了自己而滑， 而不是在教练的逼压之下滑冰， 他现在滑冰是因为他真的真的要赢， 并真心热爱这项运动， 而这对我来说是体现了运动员（这个职业）之所以这么酷的典范。

楼主辛苦了~~非常感谢~~
