北京时间8月21日《每日电讯报》报道，
北京奥运会男子马拉松游泳比赛今天上午在顺义奥林匹克水上公园举行。荷兰选手马尔滕-范德韦登以1小时51分51秒6的成绩勇夺冠军，英国选手大卫-戴维斯夺得银牌，成绩是1小时51分53秒1。不过让人稍感意外的是，银牌得主戴维斯赛后与赛会组织者发生了一点小冲突。

当时夺得银牌的戴维斯正在场边兴奋的庆祝，并开始对媒体讲述自己的游泳成功经验，这时数名赛会官员过来告诉他，“该去领奖台颁奖了。”结果戴维斯无礼的说道，“你们能不能闭嘴？”

一名女官员继续劝说戴维斯，“颁奖仪式马上就要开始了，赶紧过去吧”，孰料戴维斯居然直接将手中的矿泉水泼向了她。
男子马拉松(10公里)自由泳戴维斯几乎全程领先，但是最后阶段他被荷兰选手范德威登反超，值得一提的是，范德威登曾经身患白血病几乎导致职业生涯终结。

戴维斯04年雅典奥运会就曾获得男子1500米自由泳银牌，现在他已经将目标瞄准了2012年的伦敦奥运会金牌。

The Welshman was speaking to the press following his impressive performance at the Shunyi Rowing Park as officials hassled and harrassed the 23-year-old, trying to steer him towards the medal ceremony.

Davies, however, took offence to the man-handling he was receiving and initially turned to one overly aggressive official and said: "Will you shut up please!"

The officials failed to heed Davies' request and, after more constant harrassment, he threw the contents of his water bottle at the female official before calling an end to his time with the media.

Davies went on to pay tribute to gold medallist Maarten van der Weijden who overcame cancer before returning to competitive swimming.

"Maarten's had a cancer battle in the past and almost had to give up the sport," said Davies, who finished sixth in the final of the 1500 metres in the pool last week.

"It's almost like a Lance Armstrong story. He's a complete gentleman and a great ambassador for the sport and he's Olympic champion now.

"I said to him at the end that I was really proud of him. He's a really tough competitor, his story's amazing and one that can inspire people. What he has achieved is phenomenal."

Davies' silver medal means he has taken a place on the podium at successive Olympics after picking up a bronze medal in the 1500m freestyle in Athens four years ago.

"It's only my third race so I knew I was going to be an open-water novice in terms of the tactics and going straight," he said.

"It's really hard to go straight, especially when your head's all over the place.

"My body had given everything, I was having a real sugar low and I was swimming in zigzags and not knowing what was going on.

"That's where, if I continue in the sport, I'll have to make improvements, in my tactics and in my lines and having the patience to swim with people on top of you.
www.revefrance.com
"I had some ups and downs along the way but this medal was completely unexpected this time last year.
"I was adamant I didn't want to do the sport, I wanted to concentrate on swimming in the pool. I've only done three races so it's a bit of surprise and it's a different feeling to the first one in Athens.

原文和译文基本没有出入。很无语的是英国人把这种泼水的行为认为是正当的防卫，甚至隐约有些自豪。。。也难怪去年英国游客被评为世界素质最差的游客，英国足球流氓也是世界最可怕的观众。。。
