<p>I hope we end the season in style<br/>Felipe·Massa on 21/08/2007</p><p>期待以胜利者的姿态结束赛季</p><p>翻译：木梳 校译：ayakid</p><p>The summer break is nearly over and although I’ve had a great time, I am really looking forward to going racing again, starting with Sunday’s Turkish Grand Prix. Of course there is the serious side of trying to win the championships, but I have to say I am also looking forward to the enjoyment of driving a Formula 1 car again. <br/>夏休期就要结束了，尽管我过得非常愉快，可我还是很期待重新回到比赛中，以星期天的土耳其站为起点。当然在夺冠之路上我们形势严峻，但是我必须要说的是，我也期待重新驾驶F1赛车的乐趣。</p><p>I am in Miami now, having come here from Brazil last Thursday and I will be leaving for Turkey on Tuesday. I’ve had a long weekend here relaxing enjoying the warm climate and doing the usual holiday things, going to the beach. I say relaxing, but I have of course had to think about my fitness and every day, I have been doing a work-out to make sure I stay fit and do not lose condition before the final races of the year. Miami is a popular place for Brazilians, but I have not seen so many this time as August is just a normal working month back home: one month earlier and this place would have been full of Brazilians!<br/>我现在在迈阿密，上个星期四从巴西来这儿的，我将在星期二动身前往土耳其。我在这儿度过了一个悠长周末，放松地享受着这里温暖的气候并且做些假期里经常会做的事情，去一去海滩。虽然我说到“放松”，但是当然的，我也必须注意自己的身体状况。所以每天我都会做户外运动，以确保我能保持状态而不会在赛季结束前身体状况下滑。迈阿密在巴西人中间很有人气，不过这次我没看到很多人，因为是在8月这个常规工作月回家的，如果是一个月前的话，这里将到处都是巴西人！</p><p>I am looking forward to Turkey, which will always have a special significance for me, as it was in Istanbul last year that I got my first ever Grand Prix victory. It is still fresh in my mind and it is a great memory and a nice feeling to be carrying back with me to this year’s race. It was a great victory for me. I love the track and the city and I really hope to repeat the great result from last year, when I was very strong all weekend, starting from pole position and winning on Sunday. I hope we can do it again. <br/>我期待着土耳其，对我而言它总是有着非比寻常的意义，因为去年在伊斯坦布尔，我收获了我的首个分站胜利。这经历至今仍然记忆犹新，它是非常棒的一段回忆。在今年的土耳其的比赛中，这种美妙的感觉将和我一起回归。对我而言，那是一场伟大的胜利。我爱这条赛道和这座城市，我非常希望能复制去年那棒极了的结果，（那时候）我在整个周末中都很强大，在周日的比赛中从杆位出发并赢得了胜利。我希望我们能再来一次。</p><p>Istanbul Park is a really great track and everyone talks about Turn 8, which is definitely one of the best corners of the season. I like this corner, and it is really challenging. To be quick at this point on the track, your entry has to be perfect and then you have to make sure you make no mistakes all the way through the middle and then the exit. It is a tricky corner to get right and it also plays an important part in the race itself as it is very tough physically to go round it quickly on every lap.<br/>伊斯坦布尔赛道是一条非常棒的赛道，每个人都会谈论到它的8号弯，它绝对是全赛季中最棒的弯角之一。我喜欢这个弯，它极具挑战性。要在这个弯角保持高速，你的入弯必须完美无缺，之后在通过的时候丝毫不犯错误直至出弯。它是一个不容易走好的弯角，同时它在比赛中扮演着重要的角色，因为每一圈都要快速地通过它，这对身体而言是很大的负荷。</p><p>I have been keeping in touch with my engineer back in Italy to find out how things are going. The team has had a chance to rest a bit but there has been a lot of hard work going on as well in the factory. In fact, for this race, I will have a new chassis, which is not especially significant, as it is normal for us to change chassis after a certain number of races. <br/>我和我那已经回到意大利的工程师也保持着联系，以此来了解事情的发展。车队有机会稍作喘息，但是在工厂里，许多艰苦的工作正在进行中。事实上，为了这场比赛，我将会启用新的底盘，尽管这不是什么特别重大的事情，因为对我们而言在经过一定数量的比赛之后更换底盘是很正常的。</p><p>Turkey last year I was a first time race winner and in the space of twelve months things have changed as I am now chasing a title. As a team, we try and have a package that is competitive at every circuit, but Istanbul is the first of a series of quick tracks and I think these will suit us particularly well. Last year, from Turkey onwards I had a great championship, so that is an encouraging sign. In fact, I like the all the tracks that are coming up now, so I hope we end the season in style.<br/>去年在土耳其，我第一次成为分站冠军，而在这之后的12个月中，一切都在变化着，而现在我做好拿头衔的准备了。作为车队，我们尝试着拥有在每一条赛道上都具有竞争力的装备，我认为接下来的以伊斯坦布尔赛道为首的一系列高速赛道都将非常适合我们。去年，我是自土耳其站开始获得分站赛的冠军的，所以它对我来说是个激励的信号。而事实上我也的确喜欢接下来即将面对的所有赛道，所以我希望我们最终能够以胜利者的姿态结束整个赛季。</p> |
