For the second week in a row, Carolina Marin decimated the challenge of Tai Tzu
Ying with a display of such speed, power and precision that the world No.1 withe
red from the assault.
馬琳連續兩週以高速、力量與控球精準摧毀了戴資穎的挑戰，這位世界第一在馬琳的猛攻下
顯得黯然失色。
Having won her second HSBC BWF World Tour Super 1000 title, Marin spoke once aga
in about being well on her way towards accomplishing the project to become a “n
ew player with a new mindset”.
在贏得第二座1000賽冠軍後，馬琳一再表達，她對於朝向成為一個「具有新思維的球員」的
計畫感到滿意。
There were spells in the match when Tai looked to be taking the fight to the Spa
niard – but unfortunately for her, those spells were fleeting. Her better momen
ts were when she pressured Marin in the deep with her attacking clears which set
up the rally for her other variations, but to keep up that pressure she needed
to be consistent. She struggled to control the shuttle at the net and with her c
lears from both ends, in sharp contrast to Marin, who barely did a thing wrong a
ll match.
在比賽中，戴資穎對馬琳的奮戰中曾出現靈光一現，但而不幸的是對她來說稍縱即逝。在比
賽中她做的比較好的是用平直高遠球擊壓迫馬琳，然後再搭配其他的一些變化。不過要持續
壓迫對方她也需要保持一致性。跟馬琳比起來她明顯有控球的問題，不管是網前或後場高遠
球都出錯，而馬琳很少犯錯。
Tai rued her lack of consistency that left her chasing the Spaniard all match.
戴資穎對整場比賽缺乏一致性感到懊悔，這讓她整場比賽都追著馬琳跑。
“I feel very unfortunate that I made a lot of mistakes today. I know that Marin
is fast, so I tried to keep up with her speed, but Marin played aggressively to
day. I couldn’t control myself from making unforced errors.”
Having stormed past her opponent in 48 minutes, Marin pronounced that her sights
were set on the two major events this year – the Olympics and the World Champi
onships.
戴資穎：「我很遺憾我今天犯了很多錯誤。我知道馬琳移速很快，所以我嘗試跟上她的速度
，不過馬琳今天打的很有侵略性。我實在很難在源源不絕的UE控球。」
經過四十八分鐘狂轟猛炸對手之後，馬琳馬琳宣布她的眼光將投向今年兩件大事：奧運會跟
世錦賽。
“I’m really happy, to win two titles in two weeks is amazing. I said to myself
and to my team that when we finish 2020 I want to be a like a new player with a
new mindset, more focussed on the game. I wanted to keep improving my game.
馬琳：「我實在很高興能在兩週內拿了兩個冠軍，真是太神奇惹。2020年年末，我對我自己
還有我的團隊說我要成為一個具有新思維的新球員，把所有精力放在比賽上。我想要不斷精
進我的比賽內容。」
“We have two big goals for this year, the Olympics and the World Championships,
so it’s going to be an important year. And to start with two victories in two
weeks is unbelievable. So thank you to everyone in my team, because without them
I cannot win like this.
馬琳：「今年我們有兩個大目標，奧運跟世錦賽，所以今年至關重要。一開年就能取得兩場
勝利真是令人難以置信。謝謝我的團隊成員，沒有他們我也不能贏得比賽。」（譯注：好像
勝選感言XD）
“I expected a different game than last week. She had to change something if she
had to beat me. So my preparation for today was to keep going, keep pushing her
, keep the rally going, not make easy mistakes. I knew she was more tired than m
e, because she played a long match yesterday, so if she wanted to play a long ra
lly, I was prepared for that. This was one of the keys for the game.”
馬琳：「我預期上個禮拜的比賽跟這週會有點不一樣。如果她（戴資穎）要打敗我的話，肯
定會改戰術。所以我今天的戰術準備就是一直壓迫她，磨多拍，不要犯太多錯誤。我知道她
比我累，因為她昨天打三局。所以她要磨下去的話，我就準備好等著。這就是這場比賽的關
鍵之一。」
The third event of the Asian Leg – the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals – will begin
next week, and Marin was hopeful of continuing with her bright form.
至於下週的年終賽，馬琳則希望能夠繼續保持出色的狀態。
“I hope to continue like this. On Wednesday we start a new tournament. I’ve ne
ver won this (World Tour Finals) so it will be tough. We’ve been here for three
weeks; there’s one more week to go. I have to take it game by game. It will be
five more matches, so I will celebrate this victory first and then I will prepa
re.”
馬琳：「我希望保持這種狀態。週三我們又要開始打新的比賽。我從來沒有拿過年終賽冠軍
（譯注：是你自己不要參加的吧），這對我們而言會很困難。我們在泰國已經三個禮拜了，
還有一個禮拜要撐，我必須一場一場來。還有五場比賽，不過我現在要先慶祝一下勝利，然
後再去準備下一場。」
