迫於各界壓力, 標誌性Petko Dance將成絕響 - 網球 Tennis

德國好手Petkovic標誌性的勝利舞"Petko Dance"將成絕響
The Petko Dance is going the way of the safety dance.

球迷們再也見不到Petkovic代表性的慶賀勝利舞姿，因為有些對手認為那帶有侮辱和不尊
重的意味。Petkovic的爸爸Zoran對此也表示贊同，直指去年在網路上火紅的Petko Dance
「太超過了!」
You won't be seeing Germany's Andrea Petkovic do her much-publicized victory
dance after some competitors deemed it insulting and rude, according to her
father, Zoran. The Serbian-born star's dance, which went viral on the Internet
last year, featured the 24-year-old shaking her backside to celebrate each time
she won a match. Her dad claims other players bellyached the dance was too
"over the top."

Petkovic表示「沒有人親口對我表示感覺受到侮辱，我自己也不覺得這會是個爭議，但是
當媒體不斷的詢問『妳不會覺得這樣對於妳的對手不尊重嗎?』諸如此類的問題排山倒海而
來。」
"[People] didn't tell me to my face and I don't read about myself so I wouldn't
know [if there was criticism], but the questions they started saying, 'Don't
you feel like it's disrespectful towards your opponent?' … and this question
came up over and over again," she told the Sydney Morning Herald.

因此Petkovic為了避免同樣的問題持續上演，她決定不再跳舞。「這很奇怪，一方面美國
人很喜歡我和Petko dance，而來比賽看我，但是這很兩極的」她告訴澳洲媒體說「他們不
是喜愛我就是討厭我。」
Petkovic decided to shelve the shuffle to avoid repeated questions from
reporters in the United States. "It's strange -- on the one hand the Americans
really like me and they come to my matches, but they're like really bipolar,"
she told the Australian paper. "They either love me or they hate me."

Petkovic覺得她是男性沙文主義的犧牲者，特別是在美式足球和足球運動中的男性運動員
都自然地被允許可以有各種類似的慶賀動作。
Petkovic tacitly suggested she's a victim of sexism, especially since guys in
the NFL and soccer are allowed to have similar victory dances.

「我總是這樣說的，『你看足球選手射門進球後的各類慶賀動作，當時甚至還沒贏下比賽
，但是不會有人說這有什麼不對(指不尊敬對手的說法)。或是美式足球員在達陣後的cha-
cha-cha動作也不會有人指責他們』」
"The thing I used to say was always, 'Listen, the soccer players when they
shoot a goal and they celebrate with all kinds of things and they don't even
win the match, and nobody would ever say something against them. Or the
American football guys, when they do a touchdown they do a cha-cha-cha and
nobody ever says anything against them."

雖然粉絲們再也看不到受歡迎的Petko Dance，但是新招「Petko Dunk」將會取而代之，將
會是接下來觀眾進場的另一個新的看點。
While fans won't be seeing the popular "Petko Dance" anymore, she is working on
her next move. Should you attend on of her matches in the coming weeks, expect
to see the much more conservative "Petko Dunk," which is part of a lost bet
with German soccer star Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Petkovic從六歲開始接觸網球。她也是目前排名最高的德國網球單打好手，排在第十位。
她會說法語、德語、英語和塞爾維亞語。
Petkovic began playing tennis at age 6. She's the highest ranked German singles
tennis player in the world at 10th. The 5'11" right-hander speaks French,
German, English and Serbian.
