回味里约奥运会的精彩瞬间

身处在这个时代，我们有幸见证真正的传奇：尤塞恩•博尔特是在陆地上跑得最快的人，而迈克尔•菲尔普斯则是在水中游得最快的人。

On Aug 14, the *phenomenal Phelps finished his fourth Olympics with five golds. He’s the most decorated athlete of all time, even before coming to Rio, and now has 23 gold Olympic medals in his collection.

8月14日，传奇人物菲尔普斯以五金战绩结束了他的第四届奥运会。在来里约之前，他已经是一位荣誉满身的运动员，而现在，他已将23块奥运金牌纳入囊中。

Despite this, the 31-year-old has *reiterated his intention to retire. “Done, done, done. This time I mean it,” he claimed on The Today Show on Aug 15. “I wanted to come back and finish my career how I wanted. And this was the cherry on top of the cake that I wanted.”

尽管如此，这位31岁的运动员已经再三重申了他的退役想法。“一切都结束了，结束了，结束了。这次我是认真的，”他在8月15日的《今日秀》中说道。“我回归是想以我想要的方式结束我的职业生涯。而这便是我所想要达到的顶峰。”

He previously announced that he was to quit after the London 2012 Games, but this time, he seems to be more determined than ever. He has nothing to prove in the pool and he has a new challenge in life – to be a good father. After he won the men’s 200m butterfly on Aug 9, the first thing Phelps did was to *embrace his family and kiss his 3-month-old son.
