无注释原文: What is the Million Dollar One Point Slam?
From: BBC
Amateur tennis players will have the opportunity to win one million Australian dollars (£490,000) in prize money when they face some of the world's top stars in a single-point showdown before the Australian Open.
A total of 48 competitors will take part in Wednesday's knockout tournament at Melbourne Park, including 24 top professionals.
Men's world number one Carlos Alcaraz, defending Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner and women's number two Iga Swiatek are among the names featuring.
Eight amateur winners of earlier state championship rounds played across Australia in 2025 will be involved, as well as eight players who qualify in Melbourne.
Another eight wildcards – including celebrities and invited personalities - make up the rest of the competition.
How will it work?
Each match will consist of a single point.
A game of 'rock, paper, scissors' will decide who serves.
The winner of each point progresses, with the final played at the 14,800-capacity Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday.
Who is competing? Entries are still open for the event, but organisers have confirmed 15 of the professionals intending to compete.
World number one Aryna Sabalenka and defending women's champion Madison Keys will not be playing, but five of the top 10 ranked women's players will be.
Taiwanese singer Jay Chou will be among the celebrities picking up a racquet, while Australian comedian Adam Hills and Sinner's coach Simone Vagnozzi were among the members of the public who attempted to qualify for the main event.
The entry list also includes eight amateur state champions, including a 35-year-old tennis coach from Tasmania, a rock-paper-scissors expert and a former Indian Davis Cup player.
Why is the One Point Slam happening?
The Australian Open held its inaugural One Point Slam event in 2025, but the prize fund was A$60,000 (£29,400) and it generated little publicity.
Russia's Andrey Rublev was the only top-10 player involved, and his run came to an end when he put his one and only serve into the net in his quarter-final.
The competition was won by Australian professional Omar Jasika after 16 amateurs - eight men and eight women aged between 15 and 72 - were pitted against 16 professionals.
It is the latest attempt by tennis authorities to draw eyeballs to the sport after the 2025 US Open introduced a standalone mixed doubles championship before the main draw.

What is the Million Dollar One Point Slam ?
From: BBC
Amateur tennis players will have the opportunity to win one million Australian dollars (£490,000) in prize money when they face some of the world's top stars in a single-point showdown before the Australian Open.
在澳网正赛开打前,业余网球选手将有机会通过“一分定胜负”对决与世界顶尖球员正面交锋,胜者可赢得高达100万澳元的奖金。

slam
slam /slæm/ 1)表示“(使)重重撞上,(使)砰地关上”,英文解释为“to (cause to) move against a hard surface with force and usually a loud noise”举个🌰:The wind made the door/window slam (shut). 风吹过来门/窗户砰地关上了。
2)表示“严厉批评;猛烈抨击”,英文解释为“To slam someone or something means to criticize them very severely.”举个🌰:The famed filmmaker slammed the claims as "an outrageous lie." 该享有盛名的电影制片人猛烈抨击这些说法,称其为“无耻谎言。”

📍类似的,还有condemn,blast,speak out against.
作名词, 表示“(体育)大满贯系列赛事中的一项”,英文解释为“in some sports, especially tennis, one of the events that are part of a grand slam ”举个🌰:Murray won his first slam in 2013. 穆雷在2013年第一次赢得一项大满贯赛事的冠军。

amateur
amateur /ˈæm.ə.tər/ 作形容词,表示“业余爱好的,非职业的”,英文解释为“taking part in an activity for pleasure, not as a job”如:an amateur astronomer/boxer/historian 业余天文学爱好者/拳击手/历史学爱好者。
作名词,表示“业余爱好者;业余运动员”,英文解释为“a person who takes part in an activity for pleasure, not as a job”举个🌰:This tennis tournament is open to both amateurs and professionals. 这次网球锦标赛业余运动员和职业运动员都可以参加。

showdown
showdown /ˈʃəʊ.daʊn/ 表示“决定胜负的大辩论;摊牌”,英文解释为“an important argument that is intended to end a disagreement that has existed for a long time”

A total of 48 competitors will take part in Wednesday's knockout tournament at Melbourne Park, including 24 top professionals.
本周三,墨尔本公园将迎来一场淘汰赛,共有48名参赛者,其中一半是顶级职业选手。

knockout
我们说的KO实际上就是knockout的缩写(KO is an abbreviation for knockout),表示“(拳击中的)击倒获胜;击败对手的一击;击倒对手获胜”,英文解释为“a blow that makes an opponent fall to the ground and be unable to get up, so that he or she loses the fight”
knockout也表示“淘汰赛”,英文解释为“a competition in which only the winners of each stage play in the next stage, until one competitor or team is the final winner”举个🌰:The tournament is a straight knockout. 这次锦标赛是直接淘汰赛。

Men's world number one Carlos Alcaraz, defending Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner and women's number two Iga Swiatek are among the names featuring.
男子世界第一卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯(Carlos Alcaraz)、澳网卫冕冠军扬尼克·辛纳(Jannik Sinner)以及女子世界第二伊加·斯维亚特克(Iga Swiatek)等选手将参赛。

defending
defend作动词,可以表示“卫冕”,英文解释为“When a sports player plays in the tournament which they won the previous time it was held, you can say that they are defending their title.”举个🌰:The defending champion will play her first match of the tournament tomorrow. 卫冕冠军将在明天进行她在此次锦标赛中的第一场比赛。
📍同样在体育比赛中,还可以指“防守,防卫”,英文解释欸“to try to prevent the opposing player or players from scoring points, goals, etc. in a sport”举个🌰:In the last ten minutes of the game, we needed to defend. 我们得在比赛的最后十分钟内进行防守。
📍而在法律上则可以指“(在法庭上)为…辩护,当…的辩护律师”(to act as a lawyer for someone who has been accused of something in a court of law and try to prove that they are not guilty),如“被告”就是defendant:A defendant is a person who has been accused of breaking the law and is being tried in court. 此前在EDG是什么?文中卫冕冠军用的是:the reigning champions "DWG KIA"。
📍reigning /ˈreɪnɪŋ/ 表示“统治的;在位的;(冠军)本届的;现任的”,英文解释为“The reigning champion is the most recent winner of a contest or competition at the time you are talking about.”举个🌰:She's the reigning champion at Wimbledon. 她是本届温布尔登网球赛冠军。
📍卫冕冠军,指个人或团体处于保卫自己冠军之冕的状态。中文意指上届此项目的冠军,此次依然参加此项目的角逐。如果这一届此类比赛的个人或团体夺了冠军,那么在这一届比赛中其就是“成功卫冕”,则其就蝉联冠军了。
📍“defending champion”和“reigning champion”这两个短语在使用时有细微的差别,但通常在体育赛事报道中可以交替使用。Defending Champion:直接指向“卫冕冠军”,意指上一届的冠军,在当前比赛中试图保持自己的冠军头衔。Reigning Champion:通常用来描述当前仍持有冠军头衔的人或队伍。强调的是他们目前仍然是冠军,但不一定涉及到他们正在“防守”这个头衔的情景,尽管在很多情况下,这两个词的用法和含义是重叠的。
如果说“He is the reigning champion,” 指的是他目前仍然是最新的、现任的冠军,强调的是他的持续成功。如果说“He is the defending champion,”则强调的是他在即将到来的比赛中将要防守这一头衔。实际上,如果一个运动员在连续两届或多届比赛中持续获胜,那么他既是“defending champion”也是“reigning champion”。所以,根据上下文的不同,选择使用哪一个说法会更准确地传达所要表达的意思。

Eight amateur winners of earlier state championship rounds played across Australia in 2025 will be involved, as well as eight players who qualify in Melbourne.
参赛者中既包括2025年各州比赛脱颖而出的8名业余冠军,也包括在墨尔本成功晋级的8名选手。

qualify /ˈkwɒl.ɪ.faɪ/ 1)表示“(使)具有资格,(使)合格”,英文解释为“to successfully finish a training course so that you are able to do a job; to have or achieve the necessary skills, etc.”举个🌰:She hopes to qualify (as a teacher) at the end of the year. 她希望在年底获得(教师)资格。
🎬电影《合伙人》(The Company Men)中的台词提到:只靠我的薪水我们不可能再成功申请房贷 We're not going to be able to qualify for another house on just my salary.

2)表示“达标;获得参赛资格”,英文解释为“to be of a high enough standard to enter a competition; to defeat another person or team in order to enter or continue in a competition”举个🌰:He failed to qualify. 他未能获得参赛资格。
