值得的等待 Well Worth the Wait
在美網公開賽上，安迪•穆雷終圓英國76年大滿貫夢想。
For Andy Murray,and for Britain,this was all rather fitting.對于安迪穆雷、對于英國來說，這是再好不過了
It was a record-tying match of 4 hours and 54 minutes,forced into a fifth set against defending champion Novak Djokovic in the U.S.Open final.The long-awaited victory made Murray the first British man to win a singles grand slam title since Fred Perry 76 years ago.這是一場歷時4小時54分鐘的創紀錄的比賽，在美網總決賽中與諾瓦克•德約科維奇打滿整整五局。這場遲來很久的勝利讓穆雷成為繼76年前的弗雷德•佩里之后第一個獲得大滿貫單打冠軍的英國人。
Beating Djokovic 7-6,7-5,2-6,3-6,6-2,Andy Murray described his feeling,“Relief is probably the best word I would use to describe how I’m feeling just now.”He added,“You’re in a little bit of disbelief,because when I have been in that position many times before and not won,you do think:Is it ever going to happen?”7-6,7-5,2-6,3-6,6-2,戰勝了德約科維奇。安迪•穆雷描述了他的感受：“解脫是最好的詞匯能讓我描述剛剛的感受。”他又補充道，“你甚至真的有點不敢相信，因為在還沒有獲得勝利的時候，在我當時的處境你會不止一次地想：這一切真的就要發生了嗎？”
Yes,it did.Murray already had proved he could come up big,winning the gold medal in front of a home crowd at the London Olympics in August.That was part of what’s become a special summer for him.But this was different from the Olympics.This was a victory at a Grand Slam tournament,the standard universally used to measure tennis greatness.是的，它確實發生了。穆雷已經證明過他能獲得成功，今年八月倫敦奧運會在家鄉觀眾的見證下他獲得金牌時就已經證明。這是對于他來說這個特殊夏天中的一部分。但是，這一次，完全不同奧運會，這是一次大滿貫比賽的勝利。這才是衡量網球手偉大與否的普遍標準。
Novak Djokovic,though disappointed about losing to Murray,expressed his congratulations,“I had a great opponent today.He deserved to win this grand slam more than anybody,I’m sure,because over the years he’s been a top player.He’s been so close,lost four finals.Now he has won it,so I would like to congratulate him.”諾瓦克•德約科維奇，雖然對敗在穆雷手下十分失望，但仍對穆雷表達了他的祝賀：“今天我擁有一個偉大的對手，他比任何所有人都值得獲得這個冠軍。我一直確信，因為在過去幾年他已經是一名頂尖的選手。他曾經四次輸掉我們的決賽，已經如此地接近勝利。現在他勝利了，因此我由衷地恭喜他。”
Federer,Djokovic and Nadal—who missed the U.S.Open with a left knee injury—had won 29 of the previous 30 major tournaments(the exception:Juan Martin del Potro in New York in 2009).Now Murray joins the Grand Slam club.費德勒、德約科維奇和因為膝傷錯過美網的納達爾，包攬了過去30場主要巡回賽中29場冠軍（唯一例外的一場是2009年在紐約奪冠的胡安•馬丁•德爾波特羅。）現在穆雷加入了大滿貫俱樂部。
For years,Murray has been asked about the pressure he faced,like four-time Wimbledon semifinalist Tim Henman before him,to give Britain a champion in a sport it loves.這幾年，穆雷已經被問及很多次他現在面臨的壓力，就像在他之前四次闖進溫網半決賽的蒂姆•亨曼那樣，要為熱愛網球的英國獲得一個冠軍。
“I’m obviously proud that I managed to achieve it,”Murray said,his shiny silver trophy sitting nearby.“And I don’t have to get asked that stupid question again.”“我真的非常自豪，并且我會盡可能的去實現它。”穆雷說道。他的銀色獎杯就被放置在旁邊，“到那時我就不會再被問這么愚蠢的問題了。”
