The last pinnacle clash between the appreciative Lin and Lee
巅峰对决:林李惺惺相惜的最后一战
Nowadays, in the sports fields, when we mention the badminton player Lin Dan, it reminds us of Lee Chongwei. On the contrary, when we talk about Lee Chongwei, Lin Dan inevitably appears in our mind. And I would rather consider them as the admirable camaraderie than regard them as the opponents. As reported, Lee tends to retire after Rio Olympics. As a result, this semifinal is their last competition! Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
当今体坛上,说起林丹,那么就不得不提到李宗伟;说到李宗伟,那么必然会提起林丹!与其说他们是对手,不如说他们是惺惺相惜的良友!据说,李宗伟里约奥运会后即将退役,那么,这次半决赛就是他们最后一次巅峰对决!生命就像一盒巧克力,结果往出人意料。
Although, Lee defeated Lin with a 2:1 finally.They worked so hard in the competition, and their performances were excellent and brilliant. No matter who is the winner, they are both our heroes. Not only are they the legend of badminton fields but also they are the greatest competitors for both. Therefore, both are given the blessings and applause by all no matter who wins the match. Thanks a lot for all their exciting competitions! And I am deeply touched by their years’ hard-working and efforts. The same to many others!
尽管,这次比赛最后李宗伟以2:1战胜林丹,但是他们的比赛都打得很艰难、很精彩!不管谁赢谁输,他们都是大家心中的永远英雄!他们两个人不仅是羽毛球界的传奇,而且都是各自最伟大的对手。所以,无论谁获得比赛都会获得大家的掌声和祝福!谢谢他们每次精彩的比赛,也为他们这么多年的坚持和努力而感动!!!
Up to now, Lin and Lee have competed for 37 games. Lin won 25 games and lost 12 games. While Lee won 12 games and lost 25 games. Before the game, they said something as follows.
至今为止,林李两人交锋37次,林丹胜25次,负12次;李宗伟胜12次,负25次。比赛之前,他们如是说:
Lin Dan said: “I have already been a winner since I came to Rio Olympics as a participant. As a badminton player, it’s hard to be able to attend four Olympics. Especially, there are plenty of young athletes in China. Actually, it’s the affirmation for my four years’ efforts when I stand here in Rio Olympics. Of course, I hope that my effort is not all in vain.”
林丹说:“其实能来(里约)就已经赢了,很难有羽毛球运动员能够参加四届奥运会,特别是在有许多年轻运动员的中国。能够站在里约赛场上,其实就是对自己这四年努力的肯定。当然,我希望自己不要白来。”

Many medias and many many people believe that the Lin-Lee is the most amazing game they have ever watched. Certainly, it is incomparable without equal! After the match, they hugged each other and exchanged their jerseys. At that moment, I can’t help shedding tears because not only am I touched but also I see the scars on their back. After winning the match, Lee said: “I appreciate Lin Dan a lot who is my greatest opponent! No matter who wins the game, it’s the pride itself fighting here as we are 33 years old.”
很多媒体还有很多人说这是他们见过的最精彩的比赛。确实是,无与伦比!而他们在比赛完后互相拥抱并互换球衣时,忍不住哭了,除了感动更因为他们背上的伤痕!赢得比赛的李宗伟说:“我想感谢林丹,我最伟大的对手!不管今天谁输谁赢,我们两个33岁的人,能站在这里,本身就是骄傲。”
During a lot of time in our lives, winning or losing is of no importance. And what important is to meet with the equal opponent!
人生很多时候,输赢不重要,棋逢对手狭路相逢才重要!
