奧運伉儷,各為其主(2/2)

美國國內奧運選拔賽中,24歲的Ashton Eaton打破了十項全能世界紀錄,成為倫敦奧運會該項目奪冠熱門。 Hints: Eaton Brianne Theisen fiancée / fiancé Summer Games heptathlon (小寫,女子七項全能) University of Oregon Eugene Calgary for the Canadian Olympic Trials Saskatchewan ATTENTION:采訪中修正部分忠實于音頻寫,聽到什么寫什么。 組長:藍色三葉草 校對:阿焰 翻譯&注釋:akriasusu 答疑:betty0925

But Eaton is not the only one in his household with Olympic dreams. This week, his fiancée, Brianne Theisen, attempts to qualify for the Summer Games in the heptathlon. That's the seven-event endurance fest. Theisen was a three-time collegiate heptathlon champion at the University of Oregon, which is where the couple met. However, there's a twist. Theisen won't compete for an Olympic slot on her home field in Eugene. She's in Calgary for the Canadian Olympic Trials. That's because Theisen grew up on the plains of Saskatchewan and retains Canadian citizenship. She figures Canadian fans won't hold it against her if they see her cheering in London for her American fiancé. "I think a lot of them, you know, also went to NCAA schools and have friends in the U.S. So I think that they, you know, they understand." Ashton Eaton doesn't foresee any problems with divided loyalties in the relationship either. "Yeah, she's Canadian and yeah, I'm gonna be for U.S. team. But, you know, if thing goes well and, you know, she has opportunity to hang up, hold up a Canadian flag, I'm gonna be freaking out. You know, it just, the whole experience is cool. And it has nothing to do with countries. I mean, it's just an event." Eaton and Theisen say if there's a neutral zone in the athlete's village in London, they'll find it. Finding time for a proper wedding is also a challenge, but not of quite Olympic proportions. They've already decided to put off getting married until July of 2013.
但是Eaton并不是家中唯一懷有奧運夢想的人。這周她的未婚妻Brianne Theisen也將爭取女子七項全能的參賽資格。這是一種由七個項目組成的田徑耐力賽。Theisen就讀于俄勒岡州立大學期間,曾三次獲得大學生女子七項全能冠軍,而那里也是這對戀人的初遇之地。 但這里卻有個小問題。Theisen不會在尤金主場為爭取奧運名額而戰,相反她會在卡爾加里參加加拿大奧運選拔賽。這是因為她在Saskatchewan省的大草原上長大,且至今仍保有加拿大國籍。但她認為加拿大粉絲們不會反對她在倫敦為她的美國未婚夫喝彩加油。 “他們中的許多人,你知道,也在NCAA的學校上學,也有在美國的朋友,所以,我想他們會理解的?!? Ashton Eaton也不認為各為其主會影響兩人的關系。 “她是加拿大人沒錯,我要為美國隊而戰也沒錯。但是如果進展順利,她有機會讓加拿大國旗升起,我會高興到瘋掉的!這種經歷簡直太酷了!這與國家無關,它僅僅是一項體育運動?!? Eaton和Theisen說如果倫敦奧運村內有中立區(不按國家來劃分的宿舍),他們會住在那里。 對他們來說,找到合適的時間舉行婚禮也是個難題,但肯定不如奧運會重要。他們已經決定將結婚日期推遲到2013年7月。
