NEW YORK, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Another win, another milestone for Serena Williams who rolled into the U.S. Open last 16 on Saturday by crushing Sweden’s Johanna Larsson 6-2 6-1 to collect grand slam victory number 307 - the most by a woman in the Open era.

As in the majority of her victories at the majors, Williams operated with ruthless efficiency but displayed little fire as she coolly dispatched the 47th-ranked Swede in exactly one hour.
作为一场很重要的胜局,小威廉姆斯依旧以冷静、内敛而高效的方式掌控着比赛,不到一个小时就击败了这名瑞典47号种子选手。
The win moved the 34-year-old American past Martina Navratilova and level with Roger Federer for most grand slam victories by a man or woman.

“Wow. That’s pretty awesome and honestly what a better place to do it than here, where it all started,” Williams told an adoring Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd.
“哇。这真是太好了。老实说,一切是在这里开始,又在这里创造了历史,这真是太好不过了。”小威廉姆斯对着阿瑟阿什球场欢呼的人群说。

It was at Flushing Meadows where Williams won her first grand slam in 1999 and 17 years later it is where she could achieve two more career landmarks if she can reach the winner’s circle again on Sept. 10.
1999年,小威廉姆斯在法拉盛草地球场赢了第一个大满贯。17年后的今天,如果她能在9月10日的比赛中获胜的话,她就能在这里再创造两座职业生涯的里程碑。

7次美国网球公开赛的纪录使小威廉姆斯赢了23次职业生涯的大满贯,是继葛拉芙之后公开赛时代获胜次数最多的选手,24岁时在玛格丽特球场一举成为空前的冠军选手。

“我为每一个数字骄傲。”小威廉姆斯说,“我对307这个数字非常兴奋。能够做到我也很兴奋。”
Williams will go for win number 308 on Monday when she meets Kazakhstan’s Yaroslava Shvedova, a 6-2 7-5 winner over China’s Zhang Shuai, in round four.
小威廉姆斯周一将迎来第308场胜利,将对阵哈萨克斯坦选手雅罗斯拉娃·舍夫多娃,她在第四轮中以6-2和7-5的比分击败了中国选手张帅。
Williams arrived at Flushing Meadows last year on the cusp of claiming a calendar slam and the weight of expectation was crushing, the pressure mounting with each match until a shock loss to Roberta Vinci in the semi-finals.
小威廉姆斯去年到了法拉盛草地球场,正处于大满贯的风口浪尖,期待的压力也很大,压力充斥着每一场比赛,一直到在半决赛中出人意料地负于罗贝塔·文奇。
This year Williams has been unusually low key, making her way into the fourth round with minimum fuss having yet to drop a set, conserving energy for the second week where the real tournament begins for the world number one.
今年小威廉姆斯一反常态地处于低谷,进入第四轮的时候有些小波折,丢了一局,为第二周积攒能量,因为那时候世界第一的锦标赛才真正开始。
For her first day match on Arthur Ashe, Williams switched from evening black to afternoon white but the change in attire did nothing to change the outcome.
在阿瑟阿什球场的第一个比赛日,小威廉姆斯把衣服从黑色换成了白色,但是着装上的改变并没有改变结果。
Larsson fell behind quickly as Williams broke her at the first opportunity and again to close out the first set.
拉尔森在小威廉姆斯击破她的第一个机会之后很快就处于下风,输了第一局。
The Swede began better in the second set, holding serve to level at 1-1 but Williams was in no mood to mess around as she swept the next five games.
拉尔森在第二局开始的时候有所起色,打成了平局,但是小威廉姆斯没有心情拖延,横扫了剩下的五局比赛。
“I feel like I have been doing pretty good,” said Williams. “I have been being moving a lot. So far, so good.”
“我希望我能一直保持良好状态。”小威廉姆斯说,“我已经前进了很多了。到现在为止还不错。”
