今天辞职了吗2018-12-24Most conversations with Perry eventually lead to fathers, and from fathers it’s a quick segue to the future. We talk about the men we’re going to be once we’re rid of our fathers. We promise each other that we’ll be different, not just from our fathers but from all the men we know, even the ones we see in movies. We make a pact that we’ll never do drugs or drink alcohol. And when we’re rich, we vow, we’ll do what we can to help the world. We shake on it. A secret handshake.

今天辞职了吗2018-12-24For once I’m not afraid of my father. No matter how angry he is with me, I’m angrier. I’m furious with Tarango, with God, with myself. Even though I feel Tarango cheated me, I shouldn’t have put him in a position to cheat me. I shouldn’t have let the match get that close. Because I did, I’ll now have a loss on my record—forever. Nothing can ever change it. I can’t endure the thought, but it’s inescapable: I’m fallible. Blemished. Imperfect. A million balls hit against the dragon—for what?After years of hearing my father rant at my flaws, one loss has caused me to take up his rant. I’ve internalized my father—his impatience, his perfectionism, his rage—until his voice doesn’t just feel like my own, it is my own. I no longer need my father to torture me. From this day on, I can do it all by...

今天辞职了吗2018-12-24My father says that if I hit 2,500 balls each day, I’ll hit 17,500 balls each week, and at the end of one year I’ll have hit nearly one million balls. He believes in math. Numbers, he says, don’t lie. A child who hits one million balls each year will be unbeatable.Hit earlier, my father yells. Damn it, Andre, hit earlier. Crowd the ball, crowd the ball.

今天辞职了吗2018-12-24I GIVE MYSELF STRICT ORDERS as I shave: Take it one point at a time. Make him work for everything. No matter what happens, hold your head up. And for God’s sake enjoy it, or at least try to enjoy moments of it, even the pain, even the losing, if that’s what’s in store.

今天辞职了吗2018-12-24This is when I begin to say things to myself, crazy things, over and over, until I believe them. For instance, that a quasi-cripple can compete at the U.S. Open. That a thirty-six-year-old man can beat an opponent just entering his prime.

今天辞职了吗2018-12-24It’s no accident, I think, that tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love, the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence, because every match is a life in miniature. Even the structure of tennis, the way the pieces fit inside one another like Russian nesting dolls, mimics the structure of our days. Points become games become sets become tournaments, and it’s all so tightly connected that any point can become the turning point. It reminds me of the way seconds become minutes become hours, and any hour can be our finest. Or darkest. It’s our choice.

今天辞职了吗2018-12-24One cannot always tell what it is that keeps us shut in, confines us, seems to bury us, but still one feels certain barriers, certain gates, certain walls. Is all this imagination, fantasy? I do not think so. And then one asks: My God! Is it for long, is it for ever, is it for eternity? Do you know what frees one from this captivity? It is very deep serious affection. Being friends, being brothers, love, that is what opens the prison by supreme power, by some magic force.—Vincent van Gogh, letter to his brother, July 1880

啊咪2018-03-13‘就跟在战场上一样，’他说, ‘我中过枪，现在还可以在腿上看到清晰的伤疤。而且，我不会说英语，只会讲西班牙语，因此在学校的时候，我很自闭，从来不讲话。我是通过阅读《洛杉矶时报》上吉姆·默里的文章和听收音机里维恩·斯库利对棒球比赛的解说词自学英语的。我有一个小收音机，每晚调到KABC台。维恩·斯库利就是我的英文老师。’ 掌握了英语之后，吉尔决定去掌控上帝赐予他的身体。

迅宏2013-09-12我有一种强烈的冲动要去保护她，内心的柔情也汹涌澎湃，但在他接到了她的密友迈克尔•杰克逊的电话时，这种情绪有所消退。鉴于有关杰克逊的传闻和职责比比皆是，我无法理解波姬为什么还要和他维持着友谊…

没什蘑夫鲁2013-06-24决赛当天晚上将举行著名的温布尔登舞会。我很久之前就听说过，而且很渴望能够参加，因为男子冠军将会和女子冠军共舞——而这一年，跟大多数年份一样，这意味着能够和斯黛菲.格拉芙共舞。“很不幸，”那位女士说，“今年将不会有共舞这个节目。”“你说什么？”“过去几年来选手们对共舞这一传统节目并不是很热衷，因此这一节目已经被取消了。”

没什蘑夫鲁2013-06-24吉尔还有一个理论，就是无论一个人看起来有多么不舒服，只要他睡着了，他可能会舒服些，所以其他人就不应当打搅他们。

没什蘑夫鲁2013-06-16温布尔登的官员们似乎颇为享受在要求参赛选手们做什么和不做什么中所获得的那种傲慢、专横的乐趣。我一向对规则很是反感，尤其是专横无理的规则。为什么我必须穿白色的球服？我不想穿白色的。我穿什么关这些人什么事？

豆友33738172011-09-13网球是一项自言自语的运动，任何其他运动员都不会像网球运动员这样自言自语。棒球投球手、高尔夫球手、足球守门员，当然也会自己小声嘟囔，但是网球运动员都是自己提问然后回答。在比赛最激烈的时刻，网球运动员看起来就像公共广场上的疯子，大声叫嚷、诅咒谩骂，不断与自我进行着辩论。为什么？因为网球这种运动太孤独了，只有拳击手才能理解网球运动员的孤独。就算是拳击手，也有助手和经纪人陪伴着，他们甚至还可以将拳击场上的对手视作某种意义的伙伴，和他们扭斗、对他们咕哝。然而在网球比赛中，你和对手永远是面对面的厮杀，却永远不会碰触到对方或是跟对方或是其他人交谈。网球规则禁止网球运动员在比赛时与人交谈，甚至与教练交谈都不行。........水在我耳边哗哗地响，就像两万名球迷的呐喊声。我回想起那些特别的胜利——那些球迷不会记得的，但却仍会令我难以入眠的胜利——在巴黎对阵斯奎拉里、在纽约与布莱克鏖战、在澳大利亚与皮特一争高下。我珍惜其中的分分秒秒，当然也会回想起一些失败，想到失望时我摇摇头。我告诉自己，今晚不过是场考试而已，而且考的是我已经学了29年的东西。不论发生什么，我至少已经经历过一次。或是身体上的测试，或是精神上的考验，没有什么新鲜的。 让这一切结束吧。 我不想就这样结束。 我开始大声哭泣，斜靠在淋浴间的墙上，让眼泪尽情流淌。

九月2018-05-14在29年的网球生涯中，我懂得了一点：在你前进的道路上，生活会剥夺你几乎所有的家当，你要做的就是避开障碍。如果你因它们而止步或者分心，你就没有做好自己的分内事，而这一点将使你懊悔不已。这种懊悔会比背痛更让你无法前行。
