  “ and listen to the crowd , you can hear the rhythmic clapping and the whistles from the stands. (而且你能听到观众席整齐的掌声和口哨声,)” 凯特接过话,“ she's setting this entire arena on fire. the energy is absolutely infectious! (现场正在被她点燃,太有感染力了。 )”
  定级步法结束,最后的旋转组合——跳进的燕式转,换足联合旋转,然后是那个标志性的y字转。
  “her spins, (她的旋转,)” 凯文的声音变得柔和,“this biellmann, this y-spin — always so beautiful, so elegant. and she's over 160 centimeters now this season, yet she can still pull off that catch-foot biellmann. flexibility and powerbined — she was simply born for this s port. (这个贝尔曼和y字转,永远这么美,这么优雅。而且她这赛季身高已经160cm多了,居然还能做烛台贝尔曼。既有柔韧性又有爆发力,她简直是为花滑而生的。)”
  最后一个旋转完成,凛以一个左手掐腰、右手虚握仿佛撑着手杖的姿态定格。音乐最后一刻,她下巴微抬,抬眸斜睨,嘴角是一丝若有若无的笑意。
  “oh, that look,(噢,那个眼神,)” 凯文深吸一口气,“that look is killing me.(我死了。)”
  凯瑟琳忍不住轻笑一声:“didn't she kill you at the grand prix final with that same ending pose(上次总决赛你已经被杀了。)”
  “yes,(是的,)” 凯文认真地说,“i died. then i resurrected. and now i'm dead again.(我死了,然后我又复活了,然后又被杀了。)”
  凯瑟琳笑着摇摇头。
  全场寂静了一瞬,随即爆发出山呼海啸般的欢呼。
  凛松了一口气,露出了笑容——那是从库伊拉的角色中抽离出来,属于十五岁女孩的真实笑容。
  “ she's done it (她做到了)” 凯瑟琳的语气带着感慨,“ aria fujiwara , at 15 years old , has just delivered a flawless free skate on olympic ice. (藤原凛, 15岁,在奥运决赛的冰面上,奉献了一套完美无瑕的自由滑。)”
  “and look at her now,(看看她现在,)” 凯文继续,“her performance tonight — it's even more effortless than at the grand prix final. the control in her eyes, in her body language — she transports you directly into that atmosphere, into that character. it's hard to belie ve that someone so young possesses such powerful expressiveness. (她今晚的表演比总决赛时更加自如了。她的眼神和肢体的控制,直接把你带到了那个氛围里。难以想象,一位这么年轻的选手,会有这么强大的表现力。)”
  “ and such a strong heart ,(还有这么强大的心脏,)” 凯特补充道,“ after reba johnson delivered a perfect performance , a performance that would have won on any other night — aria responded with something even more spectacular. (在reba贡献了一场完美的表演之后——换作任何一个夜晚,那都足以夺冠——而藤原凛回以更精彩的表现。)”
  “reba is 16, and aria still has three months until she turns 16.(reba 16岁,而凛还有3个月才满16岁)” 凯文缓缓说,“and tonight, on this olympic stage, these two young women have given us an absolutely breathtaking duel. (今晚,在奥运赛场上,这两位年轻的选手为我们献上了一场极为精彩的对决。)”
  他停顿了一下,深吸一口气:
  “unettable. remarkable. and historic. (无与伦比!绝对的无与伦比!)”
  冰面上,一个帕丁顿熊玩偶从看台上高高飞起,直直朝凛飞来。凛下意识伸手,玩偶在她手边弹了一下,被她稳稳接住。
  她愣了一下,随即笑了,把玩偶抱在怀里,朝那个方向挥了挥手。
  更多的帕丁顿熊如雨点般落下,落在冰面上,落在挡板边,落在她的脚旁。
  “ her fans love her , (她的粉丝们都爱她,)” 凯特轻声说,语气里带着一丝感动,“ they've followed her since her junior days. this is their moment too. (从青年组就开始追随她。这一刻,也是属于他们的。)”
  凛抱着那只玩偶,滑向场边,和她的两位教练分别拥抱。
  出分的时间有些长。大屏幕反复播放着她刚才的表演回放,每一个跳跃,每一个旋转,每一个定格。现场的欢呼声一浪高过一浪。
  终于,分数打出——
  自由滑179.6分!短节目78.8分!总分258.4分!
  “258.4 points, leading reba, currently in first place.(258.4分,领先于rebca,目前排名第一。)”凯瑟琳的声音依旧冷静。
  凛走向领先选手席时,reba从中间位站了起来,张开双臂给了她一个用力的拥抱。
  “god, i hate you!(老天!我恨死你了!)” reba在她耳边喊,但语气里全是真诚的祝贺,“i thought i could win!(我以为这次我能赢!)”
  凛微微一愣,随即笑了:“ you already won — in the team event. (你已经赢了——团体赛里。 )”
  日本队在此前的团体赛中输给了美国队,reba上了团体赛短节目,3a发挥完美,以0.8分的微弱优势领先浅川,为美国队赢下了10分。尽管凛在决赛的自由滑中夺回10分,但来自于冰舞组合的实力差距,还是让日本队以3分的劣势落败。
  reba松开她,夸张地翻了个白眼:“who says no to more medals!(谁会嫌金牌多啊!)”
  两人一起笑了起来。
  所有人的目光都聚焦在最后一位出场选手身上——浅川舞衣,短节目排名第一,世界排名第一。
  “ now it alles down to mai asakawa. her performance will determine the final color of the medals. (现在就看浅川舞衣的了。她的表现将决定奖牌的成色)”
  凯文的声音低沉下来,带着一丝复杂的情绪,“ mai asakawa holds the world number one ranking , but that's based on the last three seasons‘ cumulative points. this season , it's aria who has been dominant. still , asakawa is a fiercepetitor. let's see what she can do. (浅川舞衣保持着世界排名第一,但那是基于过去三个赛季的积分累计。本赛季,是aria一直保持着统治地位。尽管如此,浅川依然是一位强大的竞争者。让我们静待她的表现。)”
  浅川舞衣,此刻正站在冰场入口处。她的脸上没有表情,但微微发白的指节暴露了内心的波澜。
  她需要178.2分才能超越凛。
  178.2分——这是她职业生涯从未企及的高度。
  音乐响起。 《日落大道》的第一个音符在寂静的场馆中显得格外凄美。
  她滑入冰场,姿态依旧优雅,动作依旧标准。但当她加速准备第一个跳跃—— 3a——起跳的瞬间,所有人都看到了那一丝微妙的犹豫。
  刀刃落冰的那一刻,她整个人重重摔在了冰面上。
  场馆内一片惊呼。
  “ oh! she falls on the triple axel!”凯瑟琳的声音里带着不忍。
  接下来的4t,站住了,但——
  “under rotation! it's q, likely downgraded.”
  3lz落冰不稳,连跳没能接上。
  “ three mistakes in a row… the pressure, after aria and reba's perfect performances, seems to have gotten to her.”凯瑟琳轻轻叹息。
  冰面上,浅川还在滑行。她知道,金牌已经远去;或者,其实在更早的时候,她就知道,只要凛能clean,金牌就很难是她的。
  但她不甘心。 reba一个极不稳定的选手,都能在奥运会这个至关重要的时刻拿出最完美的表现去角逐,她的难度储备虽然稍微差一些,但如果完美发挥,也并不是没有一争之力。
  只是,越想要,越紧张。踏上冰面那一刻,她脑子里一下子就空了。只是起跳瞬间的犹豫, 3a的轴就歪了。随后的两个失误,完全是心理没能调整过来的连带反应。
  但令人惊讶的是,从接连失误后的那一刻起,她反而放开了。
  节目后半段,她成功完成了这场比赛里的第3个3a ,随后的3f+3t 、 3s+3t连跳也稳稳落冰。最后一个3lo落地,她试图补上一个连跳——但3t已经重复了两次,而3lo+3lo她从未练过。最终,只补了一个2lo 。
  小小的连跳,小小的挣扎。分差早已无可挽回。
  节目结束,浅川带着眼泪滑到场边。
  分数打出——129.23分,总分209.53分,第四名。
  “just one point. (就差一分。)”凯文的声音里满是惋惜,“one point off the podium. for mai asakawa, the short program leader, the one who was supposed to be steadier than reba, steadier than almost anyone... except, of course, aria. but tonight, in the end, the pressure was too much.(一分之差,与领奖台失之交臂。对于浅川优子来说,短节目第一,原本比reba更稳,比其他任何人都稳……当然,除了凛。但今晚,重压之下,她最终还是没能顶住。)
  凯特轻轻叹了口气:“three mistakes. if she'd avoided just one of them — just one — she'd be standing on that podium. but that's the cruelty of this sport. you never know what's going to happen when the lights are brightest.(三个失误。但凡少一个——只要少一个——她现在就站在领奖台上了。但这就是竞技体育的残酷。你永远不知道,在最耀眼的灯光下,会发生什么。)”
