莎拉波娃在奧運決賽的表現讓人有其他聯想?

Maria Sharapova contracted a stomach virus after losing the Olympic final to Serena Williams and had blood work and an ultrasound performed upon her return to the United States to rule out a common cause of stomach trouble in 20-something women.

莎拉波娃在奧運女網總決賽敗給了小威廉絲後，感染了一種胃病毒。回到美國後驗了血做了超音波檢查，去排除20幾歲女人肚子不舒服的一種常見原因。

 娜姐的直言不諱這次惹惱了俄羅斯人了。

MOSCOW (AP) – Some Russian activists have sued Madonna for millions of dollars, claiming they were offended by her support for gay rights during a recent concert in St. Petersburg. 

一些俄羅斯人士控告瑪丹娜求償數百萬美元，他們宣稱瑪丹娜在最近聖彼得堡演唱會中支持同性戀權益的言論冒犯了他們。

 Anti-gay sentiment is strong in Russia. In St. Petersburg, a law passed in February makes it illegal to promote homosexuality to minors, and the author of that law has pointed to the presence of children as young as 12 at Madonna's concert on Aug. 9.

在俄羅斯反同性戀的情緒高漲。二月在聖彼得堡通過了一條法律:對年幼者宣揚同性戀是違法的，而起草這條法令的作者指出瑪丹娜的8月9日的演唱會中有12歲的兒童參與。

Madonna also has angered conservative Russians with her support for Pussy Riot. 

瑪丹娜同時也因為支持Pussy Riot這個俄羅斯團體觸怒了保守的俄羅斯人 。(註:這個團體因為抗議俄羅斯總統普丁已經被判刑兩年)

Madonna spoke out in support of the group during her concert in St. Petersburg and two days earlier in Moscow. After the verdict was issued, Madonna called on "all those who love freedom to condemn this unjust punishment."
