菲爾普斯創造獎牌記錄
LONDON - American superstar Michael Phelps won two medals, including a relay gold, on Tuesday night to become the most successful Olympian ever
新華社倫敦消息，菲爾普斯贏得一金一銀兩枚獎牌，創造了奧運會的獎牌數量記錄。
A bittersweet silver in the men's 200m butterfly and the 4x200m freestyle relay gold lifted Phelps' career medal tally to 19, beating Russian gymnast Larisa Latymina's record of 18 medals.
喜憂參半的銀牌和一枚接力金牌使菲爾普斯擁有的獎牌數量達到19枚，超過了之前的18枚記錄。
Phelps' 19 Olympic medals included a record 15 gold, eight of them won in Beijing four years ago.
他的19枚獎牌中有15枚金牌，其中的八枚來自北京奧運會。
South Africa's Chad le Cos pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the Aquatics Center with a come-from-behind victory in the men's 200m butterfly final, thwarting Phelps' bid for his first gold in London.
南非游泳運動員在泳池中的最後關頭上演反超好戲，使得菲爾普斯在200米男子蝶泳項目上的失利。
Phelps was in the lead at every turn but Cos surged past the American at the finish to win in 1 minute 52.96 seconds. Phelps was just five-hundredths of a second behind, and Japan's Takeshi Matsuda grabbed bronze.
每一個賽道轉身時菲爾普斯都保持領先地位，直到最後時刻被反超。Cos以1分52.96秒的成績奪冠，只領先0.05秒，日本選手獲得銅牌。
"He is a hard worker and he's a very talented kid," Phelps said of Cos.
菲爾普斯評價他的對手時說：他天分很高，並且訓練很刻苦。
Cos' triumph means Phelps missed out on the chance to become the first male swimmer to win the same event in three consecutive Olympics, but the Phelps did write his name into the Olympic record books when he returned a hour later to anchor the U.S. team to the 4x200m freestyle relay triumph.
Cos的勝利也意味着菲爾普斯失去了連續三屆拿到同一項目金牌的榮譽。但是他仍然能夠在奧運歷史上書寫自己的傳奇故事。
"I thanked those guys for helping me get to this moment ," Phelps said after the race.
賽後菲爾普斯說：“十分感謝幫助過我的人們，有了你們的支持我才能站在這裏。”
