American swimmer Michael Phelps surged to a pair of victories in the Olympic pool, Wednesday, to become the most decorated gold medal winner.
美国游泳运动员菲尔普斯今天在北京奥运会上又赢得了两枚金牌，成为奥运史上获得金牌总数最多的运动员。
Michael Phelps has competed in five events, so far in Beijing. He was won all five with record times. The latest came in the 200-meter butterfly (1:52.03) and as a member of the U.S. 4x200 meter freestyle relay team (6:58.56).
美国游泳运动员菲尔普斯到目前为止在北京奥运会上参加了五个项目的比赛，他不仅赢得了这五个项目比赛的胜利，而且还打破了所有项目的原有记录。在今天下午举行的200米蝶泳和四乘200米的自由泳接力赛中，菲尔普斯和他的队友赢得了比赛的胜利，并打破记录。
After winning the individual event, Phelps collected his tenth career gold medal - more than any athlete in the history of the modern games.
在赢得200米蝶泳比赛的胜利后，菲尔普斯总共赢得奥运会的10枚金牌，成为现代奥运史上赢得金牌最多的运动员。
"It started setting in a little bit after the [200-meter] butterfly [race]," Phelps said. "I was just sort of trying to focus on my next race. But I just kept thinking, wow, greatest Olympian of all time. It is a pretty cool saying -- a pretty cool title, you could say."
他说：“200米蝶泳比赛后我才意识到这一点。我当时正在集中精力准备下一个项目。但是我在想，是啊，我成为奥运史上最伟大的运动员，还真挺酷的。这个头衔真的挺酷。”
The 23-year-old Phelps says he has cherished each victory.
今年23岁的菲尔普斯说，他对每个胜利都很珍惜。
"It definitely never, ever gets old, listening to the national anthem play, with the gold medal around your neck," he said. "It is one of the greatest feelings I have ever had in the sport of swimming."
“耳边响著国歌，脖子上挂著金牌，那种感觉永远不可能淡忘。这是游泳运动中最美好的感觉。”
Should Phelps simply reach the podium in his final three events, he will have 14 career medals overall. Russian Larissa Latynina collected 18 medals overall in her career, including nine gold, five silver and four bronze.
如果在下面的三项比赛中菲尔普斯都能得到奖牌的话，他将总共获得14块奖牌。俄罗斯运动员拉特尼娜曾经赢得过18枚奥运奖牌，包括9枚金牌、5枚银牌和4枚铜牌。 |
