视频-伍兹迪拜赛前放松 重游地标建筑帆船酒店
阿联酋，迪拜——2017年2月1日：老虎伍兹重回高手云集的迪拜高尔夫赛事——欧米茄迪拜沙漠精英赛将于2月2日至5日举办。赛前他专程故地重游迪拜地标建筑、大名鼎鼎的卓美亚帆船酒店。2004年时他在帆船酒店停机坪上挥出的一杆让人印象深刻。
这是老虎伍兹第八次参加迪拜沙漠精英赛，他在2006年和2008年分别夺冠。此次他在帆船酒店露天平台上练习挥杆，然后去停机坪搭乘直升飞机在空中环游迪拜。伍兹设计的球场也将在2019年落户这里。前皇家古典高尔夫俱乐部(R&A)首席执行官、圣安德鲁斯皇家高尔夫俱乐部前秘书长彼得道森对老虎伍兹进行了采访。
00:43 Announcer: From the United States, Tiger Woods.
Announcer:来自美国的老虎伍兹
01:35 TW: Thanks again
老虎伍兹：再次感谢
02:56 TW: I miss playing here I miss being here. It’s been a while since I’ve been, ah, one fit enough to play and travel this far again. So, it’s been good.
老虎伍兹：我很怀念在迪拜打球的时光。我是有好一阵没来了，应该说我终于又恢复到能打球和旅行的状态了。所以感觉很好。
03:07 PD: You know the last eighteen months must have been really frustrating for you. The whole world of golf is delighted to see you back.
PD：过去一年半对你来说一定相当艰难。全球的高尔夫界都很高兴看到你回归赛场。
03:12 TW: It was tough. I mean, Peter, it was more than brutal. Um, because there were times when I physically didn't know if I could get out of bed. I had a lot of great people around me to help me. Help keep my spirits up and two of the most important people in my life kept my spirits up every day they were my kids.
TW：确实很艰难。彼得，真的，这几近残酷。好多次我不知道自己的身体是不是还能够从床上爬起来。身边很多人都帮助我，帮助我提升士气。我人生中两个相当重要的人——我的孩子们——每天都为我加油打气。
03:34 PD: Now everyone hoping you’ll do well this week in Dubai. Are you looking forward to it. Feeling confident?
PD：现在，每个人都期待你能在本周迪拜沙漠精英赛上取得好成绩。你对比赛有所期待有信心吗？
03:37 TW: I am. I am looking forward to it. I am looking forward to it. The golf course is going to be playing a lot more difficult this year. It’s going to be tricky. It’s going to be tricky for all of us. You’ve got to get the ball in play. The rough is up a little bit and so it’s going to be tough. You can play to win in one of two ways. You can play very aggressively or play conservatively and do well. But the thing is though, every time you come here the greens are always perfect.
TW：有信心，我很期待，相当期待这次比赛。今年的球场难度加大了很多，场地很刁钻，对每个人来说都很刁钻。长草区更高了一些，因此很难打。不论激进或保守哪种打法，你都可以打得很好从而赢球。不过话说回来，每次来这儿，这里的果岭都堪称完美。
04:00 TW: For me coming back here like this, this is what I grew up in. This is like California. It’s a little on the dry side, sun’s out, it’s warm all the time and this is like Southern Cal’ to me. There’s also a lot of players that live here. They come here and practice. Especially during the winter time and get ready for an early part of the season. Rory spends just a boatload of time here, playing and practicing. So there’s, there’s plenty to do here golf wise. There’s different golf courses to play.
TW: 对我来说，回迪拜就像回到我从小长大的地方。这里跟加利福尼亚很像，气候偏干，太阳一出来就始终很暖和，就像我熟悉的南加州一样。很多高尔夫球员也住在迪拜，他们来这个球场练习——尤其在冬季，来这里为下一个赛季起个好头做准备。罗伊花很多时间在迪拜打球练习。迪拜的高尔夫选择很多，很多高尔夫球场可以打球。
04:35 TW: It’s crazy to see that there are two different skylines here. When I first came out here there were two buildings there at number eight that we used to aim at, and they looked like they were shaped like dumplings on top, on top of the buildings and you’d pick you cut one of that one or draw one off the other one. And that was your end point. Now you have a whole skyline. Which one am I going to aim at?
TW：难以置信我在这里能看到两个不同的天际线。第一次来打球的时候，八号洞那里有两栋高楼供我们瞄准定位，这两栋楼有饺子形状的楼顶，你可以选其中一栋打右高球，或者瞄着另一栋打左曲球，那就是我们的目标。现在面对一整个天际线，我到底该瞄准哪一个？
05:01 PD: There are some new courses coming on stream. I think you’re involved in designing at least one of them aren’t you?
PD：迪拜有很多新的球场正在建设。我如果没记错的话，你是不是也参与了至少其中一个球场的设计？
05:06 TW: Yes I’m going to be designing one here. The whole idea is nowdays, that’s one of the reasons I design my golf courses the way I design them, is try and design a golf course where you don't lose your golf ball. One of the more difficult things about the game of golf now is that the time of play it takes and nobody can go without their cell phone for five minutes. And so it’s trying to get them to put that away and then losing themselves in the game of golf again.
TW：是的，我设计的球场将落户迪拜。我设计自己高尔夫球场的原因之一是想尝试设计一个不容易打丢球的球场。现今高尔夫面临更艰巨的挑战是它耗时很久，没人能离开手机哪怕五分钟。因此，也希望借着打球能将他们拉出工作，重新全身心地沉浸在高尔夫中。
