憾失首金 杜丽易思玲尽力了!

 　　Tears, hugs and fist-pumps – Chinese shooter Yi Siling experienced¹ all three after the women's 10m air rifle² final at the 2016 Rio Olympics, like she did four years ago in London.

　　眼泪、拥抱以及挥拳，中国射击队队员易思玲在2016年里约奥运会女子10米气步枪决赛之后，做了这三件事，就如同4年前的她在伦敦时做的一样。

　　But the result, this time around, came with far different emotions for Yi, as she finished third by scoring 185.4 points with 18 shots in the final.

　　但是这一次的结果，却给易思玲带来了完全不同的感觉，因为她在决赛中用18枪射下了185.4环，以第三名的成绩结束了比赛。

　　Yi, who shot her way to the first gold medal on offer in London to get her country to a flying start in 2012, couldn't hold her emotions during the post-final interview.

　　易思玲在2012年的伦敦拿下了第一枚金牌，并且为中国代表团取得了开门红。但在这次决赛后的采访时，她没能控制住自己的情绪。

　　憾失首金 杜丽易思玲尽力了!

　　"I feel like this bronze medal is heavier than the gold I won in London because the past four years had been so tough," the 27-year-old Hunan native said while weeping tears. "Being on top of there and to start over again from zero, not many people would've known how hard it was. I am disappointed that I failed to defend my gold medal but I've given what I have so I have no regret."这位27岁的湖南姑娘流着泪说道：“我觉得这枚铜牌要比伦敦的那枚金牌分量重很多。因为过去的四年太艰难了。达到最高的境界并且从零开始，没有多少人清楚这有多么困难。我对没能卫冕这块金牌感到失望，但是我已经尽了自己最大的努力了，所以我没有遗憾。”

　　Yi's senior counterpart³ Du, who embarked⁴ on her fourth Olympic campaign in Rio, echoed⁵ the disappointed Yi.

　　来到里约踏上第四次奥运征程、易思玲年长一些的战友杜丽，同意易思玲的看法。

　　"The four-year circle restarting⁶ from nothing is something that every Olympian has to experience. But not so many could finish on the podium again and again. Winning a silver medal I already feel really satisfied," said Du, the champion of this event at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

　　作为2004年雅典奥运会该项目冠军的杜丽说道：“从零重新开始的这四年轮回，是每个奥林匹克人都必须要经历的。但没有多少人可以一次又一次的登上领奖台。赢得一枚银牌我真的已经觉得很满足了。”

　　Besides, Du said her career as an athlete may have ended after the Rio Olympics but shooting would remain part of her life.

　　此外，杜丽还表示，她作为运动员的职业生涯很有可能在里约奥运之后画上句号。但是，射击仍会是她生命中的一部分。

　　"It is highly⁷ possible my last Olympics but I won't leave the sport as I would love to continue my career around it," said Du, who has a six-year-old son.

　　已经是一个六岁男孩儿的母亲的杜丽表示：“这很有可能是我的最后一届奥运会比赛了。但是我不会离开这项运动，因为我很想继续我关于射击的职业生涯。”
