我突然想到,不带情绪地打球对我有好处——好吧,无论如何,没有别人能看到的情绪。纸牌玩家可以从扑克脸中获益,这样对手就不会知道他们的手牌有多好或多坏,而且我认为面无表情的表情在网球中也能发挥作用。
(It occurred to me that it would benefit me to play without emotion - well, without emotion others could see, anyway. Card players profited from having a poker face so opponents wouldn't know how good or bad their hand was, and I figured a deadpan expression would work in tennis, too.)
