人物专访
When gymnasts compete,they do a series of challenging acrobatic moves either on a mat (floor routine)or using a piece of equipment,such as the beam,vault,or bars2.
体操运动员在比赛时，要么在垫子上(地板动作)，要么使用一种设备，如横梁、杆或杠，完成一系列具有挑战性的杂技动作。

Scoring for the contests is based on two things:how difficult the move or routine is,and how well the gymnast does it.The difficulty of a move is increased by adding things like extra flips3or twists4.
比赛的得分取决于两件事:动作或动作的难度，以及体操运动员的表现。

移动的难度主要是通过额外的翻转或扭转等动作来增加。

One thing that sets Ms.Biles apart from many other gymnasts is that she usually does routines with very high levels of difficulty and does them very well.Her routines have changed people’s ideas about the sorts of things that gymnasts can do.
拜尔斯与其他许多体操运动员的不同之处在于，她通常做难度很高的动作，而且做得非常好。

她的动作改变了人们对体操运动员所能做的事情的看法。

In fact,Ms.Biles has invented four brand new moves that are now named after her.In order to have a move named for them,a gymnast must first describe the move to FIG.Then they must do the move successfully in a competition like the world championships or the Olympics.
事实上，拜尔斯发明了四种全新的舞步，现在都以她的名字命名。

为了用自己的名字命名一个动作，体操运动员必须首先向国际体操联合会描述这个动作，然后他们必须在世界锦标赛或奥运会等比赛中成功地完成这个动作。

Two of Ms.Biles’s moves were new during the most recent world championships.One of the moves—a way of getting off of the beam—is so dangerous that FIG believes it would be dangerous for most other gymnasts to try.
在最近的世锦赛上，拜尔斯有两个新动作。

其中一个动作——
—一种摆脱横梁的方—非常棘手，以至于国际体操联合会认为，对大多数其他体操运动员来说，尝试这种法——
动作是危险的。

FIG gave the move a low difficulty score—not because it’s not difficult,but because they want to discourage other gymnasts from trying it.
—不是因为它不难，而是因为他国际体操联合会给了这个动作一个低难度的分数——
们想阻止其他体操运动员尝试它。

In the2016Olympics,Ms.Biles won four gold medals.Now she and the other gymnasts will be looking ahead to next year’s Olympics in Tokyo.
在2016年奥运会上，拜尔斯获得了四枚金牌。

现在，她和其他体操运动员将展望明年的东京奥运会。
