塞爾維亞職業網球運動員、目前男子網壇排名第一的諾瓦克·德約科維奇在參加了他自己組織的網球巡回賽后于當地時間6月23日表示，他和他的妻子新冠病毒檢測呈陽性。

Top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic announced Tuesday he and his wife tested positive for the coronavirus after he played in a series of exhibition matches he organized in Serbia and Croatia with zero social distancing amid the pandemic.

世界頂級網球選手諾瓦克?德約科維奇本周二（6月23日）宣布，他和妻子的新冠病毒檢測呈陽性。此前，德約科維奇在疫情期間組織并參加了塞爾維亞和克羅地亞的一系列友誼賽，比賽期間未實行社交隔離措施。

Raising questions about the full-fledged return of tennis, including the US Open planned for August, Djokovic is the fourth player to come down with COVID-19 after participating in matches held in Belgrade and Zadar, Croatia.

在參加了貝爾格萊德和克羅地亞扎達爾舉行的比賽后，德約科維奇成為第四位感染新冠病毒的網球運動員，這也引發了人們對網球賽事全面回歸的質疑，包括計劃于8月舉行的美國網球公開賽。

The others were three-time Grand Slam semifinalist Grigor Dimitrov, Borna Coric and Viktor Troicki.

其他三人分別是三次大滿貫半決賽選手格里戈爾·迪米特洛夫、博爾納·丘里奇和維克托·特洛伊基。

“We believed the tournament met all health protocols and the health of our region seemed in good condition to finally unite people for philanthropic reasons,” Djokovic said in a posting on social media Tuesday. “We were wrong and it was too soon.”

德約科維奇本周二在社交媒體上發文稱：“我們相信這次比賽符合所有的健康標準，我們所在地區的防疫狀況看起來很好，我們以為終于可以把人們團結起來做慈善了。我們錯了，比賽組織得太早了。”

philanthropic [?f?l?n?θr?p?k]：adj.博愛的；仁慈的

“Unfortunately, this virus is still present, and it is a new reality that we are still learning to cope and live with. I am hoping things will ease with time so we can all resume lives the way they were,” Djokovic said in a statement released earlier. “I am extremely sorry for each individual case of infection. I hope that it will not complicate anyone’s health situation and that everyone will be fine.”

德約科維奇在早些時候發表的一份聲明中說：“不幸的是，新冠病毒仍然存在，這是一個我們仍在學習如何應對和生活的新現實。我希望隨著時間的推移，事情會慢慢好起來，這樣我們就能恢復以前的生活。對于每一位感染者，我都深表歉意。我希望這不會影響大家的健康，希望大家都會好起來?！?/p>

Djokovic, who stands third in the history of men’s tennis with 17 Grand Slam singles titles, has been in the news frequently in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak, which led to the suspension of the ATP and WTA professional tennis tours in March. Plans were announced last week for the sport’s sanctioned events to return in August.

德約科維奇在男子網球史上排名第三，獲得了17個大滿貫單打冠軍，經常出現在與新冠肺炎疫情有關的新聞中。由于新冠肺炎疫情的暴發，ATP和WTA的職業網球巡回賽在3月份被暫停。而在上周，有關機構宣布了被暫停的賽事將于8月份回歸的計劃。

In April, the player who has won five of the past seven Grand Slam tournaments and is 18-0 this year was criticized for saying he would not want to take a vaccine for the virus in order to be able to compete, even if it were mandatory for travel.

今年4月，德約科維奇表示，不愿意為了參加比賽而接種新冠疫苗，哪怕是出行的強制要求也不行。這番言論受到廣泛批評。在過去七次大滿貫賽事中德約科維奇曾贏得五次冠軍、今年的戰績為18勝0負。

In May, when he was staying in Spain, Djokovic broke local lockdown rules by practicing at a tennis club about a week before it was allowed.

今年5月，德約科維奇還在西班牙的時候，他違反了當地的封鎖規定，在獲得允許前一周在一家網球俱樂部練習。

More recently, he complained about the US Tennis Association’s plans to try to protect people from the virus during the US Open with such measures as limiting the size of players’ entourages, going so far as to say he didn’t know whether he would go to the tournament in New York.

最近，他對美國網球協會在美國網球公開賽期間為了保護人們免受病毒感染而采取的措施表達了不滿，這些措施包括限制球員隨行人員的規模，他甚至還說不知道是否會去紐約參賽。

The US Open is scheduled to begin Aug. 31, without spectators, and the French Open — postponed from May — is supposed to start Sept. 27.

美國網球公開賽原定于8月31日開幕，現場不設觀眾，而原定于5月舉行的法網公開賽計劃于9月27日開賽。

“This situation is exactly why we have created a comprehensive health and medical plan with the input of our Medical Advisory Group, as well as other experts, that was approved by New York State,” the USTA said in a statement Tuesday that wished the ill players well. “The creation of a controlled US Open environment, including official hotels, transportation, food, medical and safety protocols, enables us to mitigate potential risk, and appropriately respond to any issues.”

美國網球協會在本周二的一份聲明中說，希望生病的球員們盡快康復，“這正是為什么我們在醫療顧問小組和其他專家的幫助下制定了一個全面的健康和醫療計劃，并得到了紐約州的批準。建立一個受控的美國網球公開賽比賽環境，包括官方酒店、交通、食品、醫療和安全協議，使我們能夠減少潛在的風險，并對任何問題作出妥善應對?！?/p>

Djokovic found himself defending the lax arrangements of his exhibitions, which were meant to raise money to help those affected by the pandemic. The stands were packed, and players casually interacted with fans and each other off the court. Djokovic and other players were seen hugging each other and partying in night clubs and restaurants.

德約科維奇為自己不嚴格的巡回賽安排辯解，巡回賽旨在籌集資金幫助那些受疫情影響的人?？磁_上擠滿了人，球員們在場外隨意互動，并與球迷互動。人們看到德約科維奇和其他球員互相擁抱，在夜總會和餐館聚會。

After Dimitrov said he tested positive over the weekend, the final of the competition in Croatia — in which Djokovic was supposed to play — was canceled.

迪米特洛夫稱自己上周末的病毒檢測呈陽性后，德約科維奇原定參加的克羅地亞公開賽決賽被取消。

Djokovic, who is not showing symptoms of COVID-19, said he will remain in self-isolation for 14 days.

德約科維奇沒有出現新冠肺炎的癥狀，他說他將自我隔離14天。

“It was all born with a philanthropic idea, to direct all raised funds towards people in need and it warmed my heart to see how everybody strongly responded to this,” Djokovic said. “We organized the tournament at the moment when the virus has weakened, believing that the conditions for hosting the Tour had been met.”

德約科維奇說：“這一切都是為了做慈善，將所有籌集到的資金用于有需要的人，看到大家的積極響應，我感到很溫暖。我們在病毒減弱的時候組織了比賽，以為所有辦賽的條件都已滿足?！?/p>
