日本网球运动员大坂直美谈如何驾驭妈妈作为运动员的生活：“努力工作并不陌生”

Naomi Osaka is opening up about the support it takes to be a mom and an athlete.

大阪直美公开了自己作为一名母亲和一名运动员所需要的支持。

The four-time Grand Slam champ, 26, debuted a new video announcing her partnership with Bobbie, the mom-founded pediatric nutrition company.

这位26岁的四次大满贯得主发布了一段新视频，宣布她与由母亲创办的儿科营养公司博比合作。

Osaka rocks a baby as her monologue begins about the hard work behind her return to tennis. "You know what pushes me? You," she says as the camera pans to Osaka, whose daughter Shai's name is seen on a necklace worn by the new mom.

大阪直美摇晃着一个婴儿，开始讲述重返网球赛场背后的艰苦努力。“你知道是什么在推动我吗?”当镜头转向大阪时，她说，这位新妈妈戴的项链上有她女儿Shai的名字。

"Parents, we push harder," Osaka — who shares her 6-month-old with rapper Cordae — says as the video closes out.

“父母，我们更努力，”大阪在视频结束时说，她和说唱歌手Cordae分享了她6个月大的孩子。

In the caption, she wrote, "Being a parent is hard. As a professional athlete, I am no stranger to hard work or early mornings, but the last 6 months as a new mom has given me a whole new appreciation and understanding of what parents do every single day."

在配文中，她写道:“为人父母很难。作为一名职业运动员，我对努力工作和早起并不陌生，但作为一名新妈妈的过去6个月让我对父母每天所做的事情有了全新的认识和理解。”

"Parents, moms in particular, are historically told that babies will be a barrier to personal goals — that they will stop you from achieving your dreams. But I have discovered that Shai is my ultimate motivator; she makes me want to achieve greatness," Osaka continued.

“父母们，尤其是妈妈们，一直被告知，孩子会成为实现个人目标的障碍——他们会阻止你实现梦想。但我发现Shai是我的终极动力;她让我想要取得伟大的成就，”大阪直美继续说道。

"I’m proud of myself for continuing to chase my dreams while also being a mom. And I recognize that I’m fortunate to have the support to return to work this month on my own terms, in my own time. So many American parents don’t have that choice. But we ALL deserve it."

“我为自己感到骄傲，因为我在做妈妈的同时还在继续追逐我的梦想。我意识到，我很幸运地得到了支持，能够在这个月以我自己的方式、在我自己的时间重返工作岗位。很多美国父母没有这样的选择。但这是我们应得的。”

Osaka went on to explain her partnership with Bobbie, introducing the N.O. Support Grant to help ensure new parents have the resources they need for their families to thrive. Osaka and Bobbie are committing to make 50 cash grants — of $580, representing the minimum monthly benefit that would be available if the Family and Medical Leave Act were passed — for 50 families to provide interim support while advocating for federal paid leave.

大阪直美接着解释了她与博比的合作关系，介绍了非营利组织支持补助金，以帮助确保新父母拥有他们家庭茁壮成长所需的资源。大阪和博比承诺向50个家庭提供现金补助——580美元，这是《家庭和医疗休假法》通过后每月可获得的最低福利——在倡导联邦带薪休假的同时提供临时支持。

The tennis pro recognized that she has the "immense privilege of having the emotional and financial support to take on motherhood with no question of the impact to my career."

这位网球职业选手承认，她拥有“巨大的特权，拥有情感和经济上的支持，可以承担起母亲的角色，而不会对我的职业生涯产生任何影响。”

"If anything, from the moment I found out I was pregnant, I was more motivated than ever to continue competing for my daughter, not in spite of her," Osaka's statement announcing the partnership reads.

大阪直美在宣布合作的声明中写道:“如果说有什么不同的话，那就是从我发现自己怀孕的那一刻起，我就比以往任何时候都更有动力继续争夺我的女儿，而不是无视她。”

"This is not the collective experience of most Americans and that’s why federal paid leave is so essential so all Americans can enter parenthood with the support structures and resources they need to thrive – whatever that looks like for them and their family."

“这不是大多数美国人的集体经历，这就是为什么联邦带薪休假如此重要的原因，这样所有美国人都能得到他们成长所需的支持结构和资源——无论他们和他们的家庭是什么样子。”
