Phelps跟Lochte男人週報(啥)的報導

0.27 Seconds

Men's Journal的連結呼,我只是斷章取義了點(被打)




"I think it's good for the sport that we're pushing each other," says Lochte, who is two inches shorter and more compact and muscular than Phelps. "Most of the things you hear about rivalries, it's people who hate each other. But that's totally not us."

......err...粉紅色是我弄的(自首)
god這還要翻嗎，我覺得保留原文更有愛XDDD
簡直都可以想像出鱷魚認真澄清的臉(......其實他練習這段話很多次了我懂)

In fact, they've been close since they first met at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials. They even vacationed together for a week in Beijing after last year's world championships. Though Lochte trains in Gainesville and Phelps works out in Ann Arbor, Michigan, they're constantly in touch. Like teenage girls, they send daily text messages; they also gab on the phone a few times a week about mutual interests like hip-hop, video games, and expensive cars. Their conversations are rarely, if ever, about swimming.

這段我覺得全部都該框起來然後畫愛心，那我隨便翻翻好了(喂)
簡言之就是，他們從第一次在雅典奧運見面之後就熟得跟鬼ㄧ樣(MP沒多久就在某次比賽之後叫鱷魚BABY.....)



後來還一起去了北京(跟著電燈泡Katie*被打*)，儘管置於胡越之身，進不得相合(羞)，退不能相忘，牽攣乖隔點點點，(書不是這樣背的)，他們還是幾乎天天傳簡訊夜夜講電話(<-畫掉)，每個禮拜總有幾次耗在電話上只是為了知道對方好不好聊聊未來方向(<-畫掉)之類的...... 　 　 　 　 　 　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 "With us," Lochte says, "it's all shits and giggles." 少女鱷魚自己承認他會咯咯笑(屁) 　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 "He's hysterical," Phelps says. They even have a running text message gag: "Young Jeezy says 'jeah.'" Sometimes, they'll just shorten the missive to "jeah." (Young Jeezy, for the unacquainted, is a rapper who does, in fact, say "jeah.") "That's just us acting stupid," Phelps says. "I think he brings that side out in me." 既然鱷魚自己也認了那MP怎麼能免俗也要愛的告白ㄧ下，呼呼，是他帶出了我不為人知的那ㄧ面(你說總會有些真性情的時間嗎我懂*謎*)





"They're always texting. They're always joking," says Peter Carlisle, an agent whom the two share. "They're totally comfortable around one another. For a couple of guys who have a lot of serious stuff to think about, you wouldn't know it when they're together."
林北是真的很想要解釋成他們只要在一起就很爽(被打)
"Ryan is the best thing to ever happen to Michael," says USA Swimming head coach Mark Schubert. "Because even though Michael isn't the type to rest on his laurels, he can't since Ryan is right there. Ryan is continuing to improve, and Ryan is so close to him in all the events they both swim
之前弄過這段了，呼呼。



"Growing up, never really having a break, never really taking time off - I want to get through [Beijing] and have time to relax," Phelps says, twisting on his chair. "I've always been on other people's schedules. I've been doing what they told me. I'm just looking forward to being able to do whatever I want and only listen to myself. Not have a workout schedule. Not have to be here for an interview or there for a shoot or do this or that. I'm going to do whatever I want to do, go wherever I want to go."
其實這也是MP非常人之處吧(茶)


While Phelps has been waiting a long time for a break, Lochte has seemingly been on a lifelong vacation. He had a stable home environment growing up; his parents are still married, and as a child he was coached first by his mother, Ike, and then by his father Steve. Phelps, who turned professional at an early age and never swam in college, had the media hounding him before he could legally drive. Lochte, on the other hand, swam at the University of Florida and had gone largely unnoticed by the mainstream press until this year. Since no one was really watching or pressuring him, Lochte always felt free to do as he pleased. He still does.

尬的這裡的敘述太好發揮了呀呀。

Last spring Lochte hopped on his scooter and putted off to the pool. He was going about 35 or 40 mph on Northwest 22nd Street in the G-Spot, weaving in and out of his lane, when he lost control, flew off the scooter, and landed in some bushes. The spill resulted in a fractured ankle and a bruised shoulder. For most swimmers - certainly for Phelps, who rarely does anything more dangerous than sit on his couch and play video games - the incident would have served as an admonition to cool it until after Beijing. Not for Lochte. "I was in a boot for a week," he says, and then got right back in the water.

鱷魚連出車禍都很有戲劇性Orz



.....says Gregg Troy, Lochte's coach. "If we zero in now and take things away, that's going to add stress. I think a big key for him to succeed in swimming is the fun factor. I shouldn't say we don't talk about it, though. We do. I told him no motorcycle - he wanted a motorcycle. And he drives too fast, so I tell him, 'What's the difference if you get home 10 minutes later?' But he's been so focused at the pool that I try to leave him alone when he's out of the water."
Coach Gregg的話不知怎麼的讓我想到證嚴法師"騎車不要騎太快，騎慢一點只不過是晚幾分到家，騎太快就要晚七天了.........因為頭七....."




Two years ago, at the pan-pacific Championships in Victoria, Canada, Ryan Lochte swam the 200 IM faster than he ever had before. And he still came in second. That day, Michael Phelps finished the event in 1:55.84, a new world record. Lochte was just 0.27 of a second behind him, 0.27 from setting the world record, from looking across at his pal on the podium instead of looking up. You can't read "0.27 of a second" in 0.27 of a second.
不知道為什麼我很喜歡這段(怪胎)
"That's one of the best races I've seen in my life," says USA coach Schubert. "It was just incredible. The lead going back and forth. It doesn't get any better."

"It's business," Phelps says when asked about narrowly beating his buddy and if that causes tension between them. "We're trying to see who can get their hand on the wall first. We never talk about it."
......從另外一個角度其實很虐(個頭)


......um那就這樣好了我懶了(死)
