金妍兒將目標鎖定索契冬奧會金牌

Go girl, Yu-na.

加油，金妍兒。

South Korea's figure skating queen, Kim Yu-na, on Monday finally put an end to persistent speculation about when she'll retire from the sport.

週一，人們對韓國花樣滑冰女皇金妍兒(Kim Yu-na)何時退役的猜測終於畫上了句號。

During a nationally televised press conference, she said she would have another shot at Olympic gold at the next winter games in Sochi, Russia, in 2014.

金妍兒在新聞發佈會上說，她將參加2014年在俄羅斯索契舉行的下一屆冬季奧林匹克運動會，並努力爭奪金牌。這次新聞發佈會向韓國國內做了電視直播。

The 21-year-old Kim read out a pre-written script in a calm voice but didn't look up, showing the nervousness and pressure she was feeling.

21歲的金妍兒用平靜的語調唸了一份事先寫好的發言稿，但是一直沒有擡頭，這顯示出她的緊張和身上的壓力。

"I skipped last season and had a lot on my mind about my career, even until last week," she said, "I had trouble finding my next goal after winning a gold medal at the Vancouver Olympics but the interest of the public and my fans in me got even bigger."

她說，我沒有參加上個賽季的比賽，對自己的職業生涯有很多焦慮，甚至在上週還是這樣。當我在溫哥華冬奧會拿到冠軍後，我難以再次找到目標，但是韓國民衆和粉絲對我的關注和期待卻與日俱增。

"I wanted to get away from the pressure, even for a single day," she confessed.

她坦言，我甚至想從這種負擔中解脫出來，哪怕一天也好。

After she recently started teaching practice as part of her studies for a physical education degree she faced critics such as Hwang Sang-min, a well-known psychology professor, who called her stint "insincere" and "just a media show." Kim sued the professor for defamation in May but dropped the charge in mid-June.

最近開始了攻讀體育教育學位所需的教學實習後，金妍兒遭到了一些批評。韓國知名心理學教授黃相口(Hwang Sang-min)批評她在教學實習期間不用心，僅僅是在作秀。金妍兒5月份以誹謗罪起訴了黃相口，但在6月中旬撤訴。

During the press conference on Monday, Kim said she overcame the pressure by talking to herself, "If I give up my career as a skater simply because I fear I won't show my best performance, I would be really sorry later in life," she said. Watching and practicing with younger skaters over the past year also gave her motivation to restart, she added.

在週一的新聞發佈會上，金妍兒表示，她通過與自己對話的方法戰勝了壓力。她說，如果我因爲擔心無法擁有最好的表現而不能繼續自己運動生涯的話，今後一定會後悔。她還說，過去一年觀看比賽以及和後備選手一起訓練的經歷也給了她重新開始的動力。

"I always thought the Vancouver Olympics would be my last destination, but I'm extending it to Sochi...I want to start anew, not as an Olympic medalist but just as yet another figure skater," she said.

金妍兒說，我以前一直把溫哥華冬奧會設定爲自己運動生涯的終點站，現在終點站延長到了索契冬奧會。她說，我想要重新開始，不是以冬奧會金牌獲得者的身份，而是作爲一名普通的花樣滑冰運動員。
