這里是今日熱點節(jié)目。

Novak Djokovic of Serbia is one of the best tennis players in the world. He has won 68 professional ATP tennis tournaments including 12 Grand Slam championships. Six of his Grand Slam victories came from the Australian Open championships in the city of Melbourne.

塞爾維亞的諾瓦克·德約科維奇(Novak Djokovic)是世界上最優(yōu)秀的網(wǎng)球運動員之一。他獲得了68個ATP職業(yè)網(wǎng)球錦標賽的桂冠，其中包括12個大滿貫冠軍，其中六個大滿貫來自于澳大利亞墨爾本公開賽。

Chung Hyeon of South Korea has won just one, an ATP tournament for players at the age of 21 and younger last November. Chung started playing tennis at the age of 6. His professional tennis biography said, "Growing up, [I] looked up to Novak Djokovic because of his ‘fantastic game and mental strength.'"

韓國的鄭泫(Chung Hyeon)只在去年11月舉行的21歲以下選手ATP錦標賽上獲得過一項冠軍。鄭泫6歲開始打網(wǎng)球。他的職業(yè)網(wǎng)球自傳中寫道：“從小到大我一直崇拜德約科維奇，因為他的精彩比賽和精神力量。”

When Novak Djokovic stepped on the court at the Australian Open Monday against Chung, he did not know that he was about to see a clone of himself.

當?shù)录s科維奇踏上澳網(wǎng)公開賽的球場迎戰(zhàn)鄭泫時，他并不知道即將看到自己的一個翻版。

The difficult match lasted three hours and 21 minutes. Djokovic battled an opponent who chased down balls and returned shots from every angle. These are the defensive skills that Djokovic is known for.

這場艱苦的比賽歷時三小時二十一分鐘。德約科維奇與一位滿場飛奔以及詭異回球的對手進行了對抗，這些都是德約科維奇揚名立萬的防守技巧。

Chung won 34 of the 54 rallies that continued for at least nine strokes. In the second set, Chung won a 33-shot rally. Chung also saved 14 of the 19 break points he faced against Djokovic. And he hit 39 winning shots against one of the fastest professional tennis players today.

鄭泫贏得了54個至少擊球9次的多拍回合中的39個。在第二盤中，鄭泫贏得了一個擊球33次的回合。鄭泫面對德約科維奇還救回了19個破發(fā)點中的14個。同時他在對抗當今速度最快的一位職業(yè)網(wǎng)球選手中打出了39次制勝球。

The young Korean celebrated very little after defeating Djokovic in straight sets, 7-6, 7-5 and 7-6. But the crowd, which included many Koreans, stood and cheered him.

這位年輕的韓國選手在以7：6，7：5和7：6的比分直落三局擊敗德約科維奇之后沒有過多慶祝。但是包括很多韓國人在內(nèi)的觀眾都站起來為他歡呼。

Djokovic called Chung's play "an amazing performance." He said, "Whenever he was in trouble he came out with some great passing shots and at the back of the court he was like a wall."

德約科維奇稱鄭泫打出了一場精彩的比賽。他說：“每當他遇到麻煩，他總會打出一些漂亮的穿越球。而在球場后面他就像是一堵墻。”

After the match, Chung said, "I can play two more hours. I‘m younger than Novak so I don't care!"

鄭泫在比賽之后表示：“我還能再打兩小時，我比德約科維奇年輕，所以我無所謂。”

About his play, he said, "I was just trying to copy Novak because he's my idol. My dreams have come true tonight."

關(guān)于這場比賽，他表示：“我只是試圖模仿德約科維奇，因為他是我的偶像。今晚我的夢想成真了。”

With his victory, Chung became the first Korean to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal. He will face American Tennys Sandgren in the next round.

隨著這場勝利，鄭泫成為首位打進大滿貫四分之一決賽的韓國選手。下輪他將迎戰(zhàn)美國選手泰尼斯·桑德格倫(Tennys Sandgren)。

And that's what's trending today.
