意外出局！德约科维奇误伤裁判被直接判负
近日，美国网球公开赛男单比赛中，世界男单排名第一的诺瓦克·德约科维奇（Novak Djokovic）在对阵西班牙球员帕布洛·卡雷尼奥·布斯塔（Pablo Carreno Busta）的比赛中，向身后挥拍传球，意外打中司线裁判员（a line judge），最终他被直接判负，取消资格，错失获得第18个大满贯冠军的绝佳机会。

Novak Djokovic's US Open disqualification another example of his poor judgement
BBC
Novak Djokovic must have known his US Open was over as soon as that tennis ball hit a line judge in the throat.
Tim Henman had to be disqualified when he accidentally hit a ball girl on the ear in a men's doubles at Wimbledon in 1995; and so, too, did David Nalbandian when he kicked an advertising hoarding into a line judge's shin in the Queen's Club final of 2012.
The rules are clear and they must equally apply to the world's number one male player.
Djokovic spent seven minutes trying to persuade US Open referee Soeren Friemel of the case for the defence. But having hit a ball "dangerously or recklessly within the court, or with negligent disregard of the consequences" - to quote the rulebook - there were no grounds for clemency.
In fact, a reprieve would have had far more serious repercussions for the sport, and left a stench of preferential treatment for the rich and influential.
The act was not intentional. Djokovic was not looking where he was aiming the loose ball, and yet that is part of the problem. On more than one occasion in recent years he has been oblivious to the welfare of others in the single-minded pursuit of success.
In a 2016 French Open quarter-final against Tomas Berdych, Djokovic's racquet very nearly hit a line judge having slipped out of his hands after an angry swipe. And later that year, in a match against Dominic Thiem at the ATP Finals, he fired a ball towards his coaching team, who were sitting in a row immediately in front of spectators.
"It's not an issue for me. It's not the first time I did it," was Djokovic's reply when cross-examined later.
His apology - a genuine one, via Instagram, to the line judge and the US Open - would have been far better delivered in person before flying out of New York. He says he needs to "turn this all into a lesson for my growth and evolution as a player and human being".
Djokovic often speaks like this, but hopefully he will do just that.
What had been a perfect year on court - Djokovic had won all 26 of his matches before this ill-fated clash with Pablo Carreno Busta - had been far from plain sailing elsewhere.
The 17-time Grand Slam champion was the driving force behind the Adria Tour: the series of exhibition matches in the Serbia capital Belgrade and the Croatian city Zadar. Djokovic was one of four players to contract Covid-19 as social distancing was abandoned - on the tennis court, during friendly games of football and basketball, and at the nightclub which hosted an end of weekend party.
"We did it with a pure heart and sincere intentions," Djokovic said in another apology on Instagram. But it was spectacularly ill-judged and did nothing to help tennis' attempts to get the professional game up and running again.
The 33-year-old knows he had a golden opportunity to win an 18th Grand Slam this week, and his next opportunity -the French Open at Roland Garros - will not be made any easier by the presence of the 12-time champion Nadal.
But Djokovic has consistently overcome adversity in the past. He will recover; he will win again - just hopefully with a little more humility.

Novak Djokovic's US Open disqualification another example of his poor judgement
BBC
Novak Djokovic must have known his US Open was over as soon as that tennis ball hit a line judge in the throat.
诺瓦克·德约科维奇（Novak Djokovic）一定知道，当那个网球打中司线的喉咙时，他的美国网球公开赛就结束了。
line judge
指的是“司线，司线员”，英文解释为“an official in football, volleyball, tennis, etc who assists the referee by judging whether a ball has gone out of play”，据百度百科：“网球司线员”的职责是报发球失误和出界，判决他所看管的那条线上的出球，并有最后决定权。“司线员”又叫做“线审”，顾名思义，就是在球场上看着“边界线”的裁判。
Tim Henman had to be disqualified when he accidentally hit a ball girl on the ear in a men's doubles at Wimbledon in 1995; and so, too, did David Nalbandian when he kicked an advertising hoarding into a line judge's shin in the Queen's Club final of 2012.
1995年，蒂姆·亨曼（Tim Henman）在温布尔登网球锦标赛男双比赛中不小心打到了一个女球童的耳朵，不得不被取消资格；2012年，大卫·纳尔班迪安（David Nalbandian）也是如此，他在女王俱乐部锦标赛决赛中踢广告牌结果伤到司线的小腿。
disqualify
标题中出现的是disqualification名词形式，此处为动词disqualify，表示“取消…的资格，剥夺…的资格”，英文解释为“to stop someone from being in a competition or doing something because they are unsuitable or they have done something wrong”举个🌰：
He's been disqualified from driving for a year.
他被取消驾驶资格一年。
📺美剧《兄弟姐妹》（Brothers & Sisters）中的台词提到：it does not disqualify him from being a parent. 这并不能说明他没资格当父母。
📍在网球领域还有一个更专业的术语，叫Default. 比如在美网公开赛的官网中，声明以及相关新闻报道标题就用的：Three-time champion Novak Djokovic is defaulted in Round of 16 at 2020 US Open
📍Default: Disqualification of a player in a match by the chair umpire after the player has received four code violation warnings, generally for his/her conduct on court. A double default occurs when both players are disqualified. Defaults also occur when a player misses a match with no valid excuse. Defaults are considered losses.
ball girl/boy
指的是“（网球赛或棒球赛中捡球的）女球童/球童”，英文解释为“In a tennis match, the ball boys pick up any balls that go into the net or off the court and throw them back to the players. In a baseball game, the ball boys are in charge of collecting the balls that are hit out of the field”。
hoarding
hoarding /ˈhɔːdɪŋ/ 表示“巨幅/大幅广告牌”，英文解释为“a large board on the outside of a building or at the side of the road, used for putting advertisements on”。
shin
shin /ʃɪn/ 表示“胫；胫部”，英文解释为“the front part of the leg below the knee”。
The rules are clear and they must equally apply to the world's number one male player.
规则很明确，必须同样适用于世界第一的男球员。
Djokovic spent seven minutes trying to persuade US Open referee Soeren Friemel of the case for the defence. But having hit a ball "dangerously or recklessly within the court, or with negligent disregard of the consequences" - to quote the rulebook - there were no grounds for clemency.
德约科维奇花了7分钟的时间试图说服美国网球公开赛裁判索伦·弗里梅尔（Soeren Friemel）。但由于在球场内打出了“危险或鲁莽的球，或不顾后果地击球”--引用规则手册的话--没有任何理由获得宽大处理。
recklessly
表示“鲁莽地；不顾一切地”，英文解释为“in a way that is dangerous and shows that you are not thinking about the risks and possible results of your behaviour”。
negligent
表示“疏忽的，失职的；造成过失的；随便的”，英文解释为“not being careful or giving enough attention to people or things that are your responsibility”如：grossly negligent 严重失职，举个🌰：
He waved his hand in a negligent gesture.
他漫不经心地挥了挥手。
The judge said that the teacher had been negligent in allowing the children to swim in dangerous water.
法官说允许孩子们在危险水域游泳是教师的失职。
clemency
clemency /ˈklɛmənsɪ/ 表示“从轻发落；（对受惩罚的人表现出的）仁慈，慈悲；宽恕；宽容”，英文解释为“If someone is granted clemency, they are punished less severely than they could be.”如：a plea for clemency 乞求开恩。
In fact, a reprieve would have had far more serious repercussions for the sport, and left a stench of preferential treatment for the rich and influential.
事实上，不处罚会给这项运动带来更严重的影响，并留下给富人和有影响力的人优待的臭名。

The injection provided a temporary reprieve from the pain.
注射了一针后，疼痛暂时缓解了。
repercussion
repercussion /ˌriːpəˈkʌʃən/ 表示“后果”，英文解释为“If an action or event has repercussions, it causes unpleasant things to happen some time after the original action or event.”举个🌰：
It was an effort which was to have painful repercussions.
那是一个将产生沉痛后果的尝试。
stench
stench /stɛntʃ/ 原意表示“恶臭，臭气”，英文解释为“a strong, unpleasant smell”，引申地可以表示“恶劣影响；不良后果”（a bad effect that follows an unpleasant event or situation and is noticeable for a long time）举个🌰：
The stench of scandal hung over the company.
丑闻的恶劣影响仍然笼罩着该公司。
The act was not intentional. Djokovic was not looking where he was aiming the loose ball, and yet that is part of the problem. On more than one occasion in recent years he has been oblivious to the welfare of others in the single-minded pursuit of success.
该行为并非有意为之。德约科维奇并没有看准球的位置，然而这也是问题的所在。近年来，他为了一味地追求成功而多次忽视他人的安危。

In a 2016 French Open quarter-final against Tomas Berdych, Djokovic's racquet very nearly hit a line judge having slipped out of his hands after an angry swipe. And later that year, in a match against Dominic Thiem at the ATP Finals, he fired a ball towards his coaching team, who were sitting in a row immediately in front of spectators.
在2016年法国网球公开赛四分之一决赛对阵托马斯·伯蒂奇（Tomas Berdych）的比赛中，德约科维奇愤怒地摔拍，从手中滑出后拍子险些击中司线。而在当年晚些时候，在ATP总决赛对阵多米尼克·蒂姆（Dominic Thiem）的比赛中，他将球打向了紧挨着观众坐成一排的教练团队。
racquet /ˈrækɪt/

"It's not an issue for me. It's not the first time I did it," was Djokovic's reply when cross-examined later.
“这觉得没什么问题。我不是第一次这么做了。”这是德约科维奇后来接受问话时的回答。
cross-examine
表示“（尤指在法庭上对证词细节的）盘问，反诘”，英文解释为“to question sb carefully and in a lot of detail about answers that they have already given, especially in court”。
📺美剧《越狱》（Prison Break）中的台词提到：look, You can't cross-examine a witness if you don't know who it is. 听着 我们不能去盘问一个 我们根本不知道是谁的人。
His apology - a genuine one, via Instagram, to the line judge and the US Open - would have been far better delivered in person before flying out of New York. He says he needs to "turn this all into a lesson for my growth and evolution as a player and human being".
他的道歉--通过Instagram向司线和美国网球公开赛的真诚道歉--在离开纽约之前，当面表达会好得多。他说他需要“将这一切转化成我作为一个球员和一个人不断成长和进化的重要一课”。
Djokovic often speaks like this, but hopefully he will do just that.
德约科维奇经常这样说，但希望他能做到这一点。
What had been a perfect year on court - Djokovic had won all 26 of his matches before this ill-fated clash with Pablo Carreno Busta - had been far from plain sailing elsewhere.
在球场上完美的一年--德约科维奇在与帕布洛·卡雷尼奥·布斯塔（Pablo Carreno Busta）的这场不幸的比赛之前，已经赢得了他所有的26场比赛--但在其他地方却远非一帆风顺。
ill-fated

📺英剧《唐顿庄园》（Downton Abbey）中的台词提到：it's best not to pretend it'll be plain sailing. 也先别把事情想得一帆风顺。
The 17-time Grand Slam champion was the driving force behind the Adria Tour: the series of exhibition matches in the Serbia capital Belgrade and the Croatian city Zadar. Djokovic was one of four players to contract Covid-19 as social distancing was abandoned - on the tennis court, during friendly games of football and basketball, and at the nightclub which hosted an end of weekend party.
这位17届大满贯冠军得主是阿德里亚巡回赛（在塞尔维亚首都贝尔格莱德和克罗地亚城市扎达尔举行的一系列表演赛）的幕后组织者。因为在网球场上、在足球和篮球的友谊赛中以及在举办周末派对结束的夜店里，没有保持社交距离，德约科维奇和其他三名球员感染了新冠病毒。
contract
表示“染（重病）”，英文解释为“If you contract a serious illness, you become ill with it.”如：to contract a virus/a disease 感染病毒/疾病。
🎬电影《震荡效应》（Concussion）中的台词提到：of contracting a brainrelated injury such as dementia, Alzheimer's, depression or CTE? 造成相关的大脑损伤，如痴呆、阿尔茨海默氏症，抑郁症，或CTE？
"We did it with a pure heart and sincere intentions," Djokovic said in another apology on Instagram. But it was spectacularly ill-judged and did nothing to help tennis' attempts to get the professional game up and running again.
德约科维奇在Instagram上的另一份道歉信中说，“我们都是带着一颗纯洁的心和真诚的意图去做的。”但这是考虑严重不当的，对网球职业比赛的重启和举行没有任何帮助。
The 33-year-old knows he had a golden opportunity to win an 18th Grand Slam this week, and his next opportunity -the French Open at Roland Garros - will not be made any easier by the presence of the 12-time champion Nadal.
这位33岁的老将知道自己本周有一个赢得第18个大满贯的黄金机会，而他的下一个机会--罗兰·加洛斯法国网球公开赛--将会因为因为12届冠军纳达尔的出现而变得没那么容易。
But Djokovic has consistently overcome adversity in the past. He will recover; he will win again - just hopefully with a little more humility.
但德约科维奇过去一直在克服逆境。他会复出，也会再次赢得比赛--只是希望能多一点谦逊。
