一个对ISU 温和的建议（翻译版）
昨天承诺的翻译版
A modest proposal to ISU
As the development of figure skating is getting mature and drawing more attention from general public, it’s time for ISU to make some change with respect to the scoring system of figure skating. I, as an audience and fan of figure skating, have concluded several suggestions from different perspectives.
目前花样滑冰已经有了更加成熟的市场，公众的关注度也水涨船高。ISU也是时候考虑更换一些打分规则了。我作为一个花样滑冰的忠实观众，总结了一些不同方面的建议。
1.The nationality
国籍
Figure skating, as a sport originally derived from Europe, should aid the skaters who have the historical background. The skaters from Europe, especially Russia, are more likely to have the better performances and expressions of the music since their ancestors are group of the first people in this world who began figure skating. The legacy of their predecessors largely influenced the skaters and audience in Europe----the skaters can have better understanding of each programs’ theme, while the audiences are more appreciative than their counterparts. Furthermore, the skaters who are from the more developed countries in figure skating should deserve additional points. For instance, the nationalities of strong countries, such as the US, Japan, Canada, and Russia should help the skaters to earn the extra score since they are so traditionally powerful and need to keep their “leading position”. In comparison, the citizenship of China need naturally earn normal, even less, score in their final grade for their skaters.
花样滑冰作为一种起源于欧洲的运动，理应更加青睐于那些有花滑历史的国家的运动员。欧洲的运动员，尤其是那些俄罗斯的运动员，会对音乐有着更好的诠释，因为他们的祖先是世界上第一批踏上冰面的人。欧洲人的先驱所留下的精髓极大地影响了他们的花样滑冰运动员与观众——运动员对于其所表现的主题更加通透，而且观众们的艺术鉴赏力也相对更加优秀。除此之外，发达国家的滑冰运动员应该享受额外的加分。例如美国，日本，加拿大还有俄罗斯，就应帮助自己的运动员来挣得这个加分，他们向来国力强盛，所以更需要在各个方面“引领世界”。相比之下，中国公民的身份只能帮助自己国家的运动员理所当然拿到正常的分数，或者更少的总分。
2.Perfect persona
完美人设
As we all know, the figure skaters themselves have great influence in the general public. In order to convey a affable figure of skater to the audiences, ISU should encourage the skaters who have a successful family, excellent words and deeds instead of the skaters who have inappropriate behaviors and shameful background. The advocacy of USDSA toward Nancy Kerrigan rather than Tonya Harding can be a great model for ISU to follow. Despite the fact that Tonya Harding is the second woman who accomplish triple axel jump----the most difficult jump for female skaters at that time----in human history, USFSA didn’t score her according to her performance on ice but to her personal life. Tonya Harding‘s inglorious personal life, including divided family and marriage, cannot convey the positive inspiration to the people, especially children. ISU should learn this kind of scientific scoring style because every aspect of a sport star is extremely important, representing the sportsmanship. The elegant skating princess Nancy is worthy of the first place, while Tonya deserves the inferior ranking.
我们都承认，花滑运动员本身就对公众有着巨大影响。为了向观众展示出一个形象极佳的运动员，ISU应当考虑去炒作那些有着良好家庭环境且一言一行都十分妥帖的运动员，而不是德行有误，家庭悲惨的运动员们。当年美国冰联选择支持南茜•克里根而不是唐娅•哈丁就是一个ISU绝妙的先例。尽管唐娅是第二个跳出当时世界上难度最高的阿克塞尔三周跳的女性运动员，美国冰联并没有根据她的表演打分，而是考虑到她不光彩的私生活后给出了与事实相悖的分数，由于她支离破碎的家庭并不能带给观众激励。ISU也应当学习一下这种科学的打分方法，因为体育明星代表着体育精神，他们的各方面都太重要了。优雅的南茜公主当然值得她的冠军，而唐娅也自作自受屈居他人之下。
3.The host country and sponsor
东道主国家与赞助商
As one of the most important factor of a successful competition, the hosting countries help their owns skaters to earn extra credit in the final score. These countries provide the venues, residencies, foods, and services for ISU to operate the remarkable competitions. In order to pay off their hard works, ISU is supposed to assist them by scoring their skaters higher. Similarly, the skaters who have intricate relationship with the sponsors need to be scored higher too.
主办国作为大赛能够举办成功的重要因素之一，也应让其选手得到加分。这些国家提供比赛场馆，食宿，以及能使ISU举办一场精彩赛事的各类服务。为了报答他们的恩情，ISU也应在给他们的运动员的分数上高抬贵手。对于那些与赞助商有特殊关系的选手，ISU也应与东道主国家选手一视同仁。
All these suggestion are made based on the prior true experiences. What happened in the past provokes me to call for a justice and benignant competition environment and the merited scores for the qualified skaters. Since the ISU has already followed these scoring principles underground, why do not set the rules officially? Benefiting both the skaters, the audiences, and the ISU itself, these suggestions need to be applied on the spot.
这些建议都来自于以往真实的经验。过去发生的一切促使我呼吁要给那些合格的运动员一个公平且良性的比赛环境以及他们所应得的分数。既然ISU已经在私下里熟谙这些不成文的规定，那为什么不把这套打分标准搬上台面呢？这样一来，运动员，观众，还有ISU自身都能从中获利，何乐而不为呢？
