SHEFFIELD, May 2 (Xinhua) -- Mark Selby defeated China’s DingJunhui 18-14 in the final of the snooker world championship here on Monday.

5月2日，謝菲爾德(新華社電)——星期一，在謝菲爾德舉辦的斯諾克世錦賽決賽上，馬克-塞爾比以18-14戰(zhàn)勝中國的丁俊暉奪冠。

Ding, the first Asian player to reach the final, made a late surge from 16-11 down to 16-14, but Selby, the 2014 champion, won a tense 31st frame before sealing victory in the next.

丁俊暉，是闖入世錦賽決賽的亞洲第一人。他將比分從11-16追至14-16，然而，在非常緊張的第31局，曾在2014前奪冠的塞爾比最終拿下了賽點(diǎn)。

Selby joins Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, Mark Williams, John Higgins and Ronnie O’Sullivan as the only players to lift the trophy more than once at the Crucible.

塞爾比也因此加入了史蒂芬-戴維斯，斯蒂芬-亨得利，馬克-威廉姆斯，約翰-希金斯和羅尼奧沙利文等至少兩次拿到世錦賽冠軍的精英之列。

The 32-year-old Selby collected a record cheque for 330,000 pounds .

32歲的塞爾比攬金33萬英鎊。

"It’s a great feeling," said Selby. "To win it once was a huge achievement, and something that I wanted to do, but I never dreamed of winning twice, I’m quite emotional.

他說，“這種感覺很美妙。贏得世錦賽是一件非常了不起的成就，是我心中的一個(gè)目標(biāo)。但我從來沒有想過可以贏兩次世錦賽冠軍。我感覺非常激動(dòng)。”

"Ding was under a lot of pressure, it was his first world final and there’s massive expectation from China. I knew I had to capitalise early doors, every time I got a chance I punished him and scored. I missed a blue to go 7-0 up and if I had done that I might have won more easily. ”

“丁俊暉的壓力很大，這是他第一次進(jìn)入世錦賽決賽，中國對(duì)他的期望非常高。我知道我應(yīng)該速戰(zhàn)速?zèng)Q，每一次只要我有機(jī)會(huì)我就會(huì)進(jìn)攻，得分。但在開局比分為7-0時(shí)，我錯(cuò)失了一個(gè)藍(lán)球，不然我會(huì)贏得的更輕松一些。”

"For a lot of this tournament my game has been average, whereas Ding has played great, the only bad session he had was in the first session in the final. I was second favorite, but here I am sitting here as world champion. I think it was just grit and determination, I never give in, no matter how badly I’m playing. Until that final ball is potted I still keep believing inside that I can win."

“整個(gè)世錦賽期間我的表現(xiàn)都是中等水平，而丁俊暉除了在決賽的第一局表現(xiàn)的不太好，其他都發(fā)揮的非常出色。我是第二個(gè)幸運(yùn)兒，不過現(xiàn)在贏得冠軍的我。正是因?yàn)橛職夂蜎Q心，不管我打的有多爛，我從不放棄。直到最后一局制勝球，我一直都覺得自己可以贏得最終的勝利。”

Ding said: "I played well in the last session. The start was very bad, I went 6-0 down and I was too far away from Mark. He played good safety and he knows how to win frames. The match got harder but I enjoyed it more towards the end. "

丁俊暉說，“最后一場我發(fā)揮的很好。盡管開局真的很爛，我以0-6遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)落后于塞爾比。他打的很好，少有失誤，他知道怎樣贏得比賽。在快要結(jié)束時(shí)，盡管進(jìn)行的很艱難，但我非常享受那種狀態(tài)。”

"Five years ago I got to the semifinals and now this year I have gone one step further. Maybe next time I’m going to win this. It’s good experience for my career, I enjoyed the final and not many players have got to the final here.”

“五年前我晉級(jí)半決賽，今年，我前進(jìn)了一步，進(jìn)入了決賽，也許下一次我就能奪冠。這對(duì)我的職業(yè)生涯來說是一次非常好的經(jīng)歷，畢竟能進(jìn)入決賽的人也沒有幾個(gè)，我非常享受這場決賽。”

"This season I have been working with Terry Griffiths for the first time and I think I have improved. If I keep playing like this I can win more tournaments."

他說，“這次是我第一次與特里-格里菲斯合作，我感覺自己進(jìn)步了。如果保持這個(gè)勁頭，我一定能贏更多的比賽。”
