刚刚捧起澳网第六冠的世界第一小威廉姆斯通过《时代》杂志宣布将出战今年印第安维尔斯站的比赛。她曾因遭种族歧视抵制该站赛事14年。请看本报周五的报道：

    World No. 1 Serena Williams has buried the hatchet and will return to Indian Wells to play in the tournament she has boycotted for 14 years after suffering racist abuse.

    In an interview with TIME magazine, the 19-time Grand Slam singles champion said she had discovered the “true meaning of forgiveness” and would go for a third title in the Californian resort in March.

    “It has been difficult for me to forget spending hours crying in the Indian Wells locker room after winning in 2001, driving back to Los Angeles feeling as if I had lost the biggest game ever — not a mere tennis game but a bigger fight for equality,” Williams wrote.

    报道中的bury the hatchet就是“和解、休战”，这个成语源自北美印第安部落“把战斧埋起来结束战争”的仪式。
