Victory lap

    庆祝胜利

    马刺的低调球星邓肯周一宣布退役，在他19个赛季的职业生涯中，邓肯拿下了5个NBA总冠军。请看本报昨日的报道：

    San Antonio Spurs star power forward Tim Duncan, one of the best players in NBA history, announced his retirement Monday, ending a brilliant 19-season career that included five league titles.

    Considered one of the most understated superstars in sports, Duncan never wanted the spotlight, only the trophies. He never wanted the endorsements, only the camaraderie. He never wanted the accolades, only the collective achievement.

    No big news conference. No victory lap. Not even a canned quote in the press release. Just a simple goodbye Monday from the quiet anchor at the foundation of the San Antonio Spurs dynasty.

    报道中的victory lap就是“绕场一周庆祝胜利”。例如：

    He wants to make sure the show that got the network on the map has a victory lap.

    他希望给这个使电视网出名的节目一个庆祝胜利的告别。
