We have: 'record-equalling', 'flawless' and 'touching'.

Now Catherine, this is made up of two words isn't it?

凱瑟琳，這是由兩個詞組成的，不是嗎？

It is two words. The first word: record – R-E-C-O-R-D.

是兩個字。第一個字：記錄--R-E-C-O-R-D。

The second word: equalling – E-Q-U-A-L-L-I-N-G – and we join the two words together with a hyphen.

第二個詞：等於--E-Q-U-A-L-L-I-N-G，我們用連字元把兩個詞連在一起。

Now, a record is an achievement which is the best that anybody has ever done.  

現在，一個記錄是一個成就，這是最好的任何人都曾經做過。

So, if you run faster than anybody else, you hold the record for running. In fact,  

所以，如果你比別人跑得快，你就保持著跑步的記錄。事實上，如果你比別人跑得快，你就保持著跑步的記錄。

Usain Bolt, the Jamaican athlete, holds the world record for the fastest person ever to run 100 metres.

You can have a record in anything: it can be eating baked beans, it can be singing,  

你可以在任何事情上有記錄：可以是吃烤豆，可以是唱歌。

Now, what we're talking about here is 'record-equalling'. That means  

現在，我們在這裡談論的是 "創紀錄"。這意味著

an achievement matches a record: it's the same as a record that has already been set.  

成就與記錄相匹配：這與已經創造的記錄是一樣的。

Now, in this story Rafa Nadal has achieved twenty Grand Slam  

現在，在這個故事中，拉法-納達爾已經實現了二十個大滿貫。

tennis championships and actually Roger Federer already has twenty Grand Slam titles.

Federer has the record and now Nadal has equalled that record. He had a 'record-equalling' win.

費德勒擁有紀錄，現在納達爾已經追平了這個紀錄。他有一場 "追平紀錄 "的勝利。

He certainly did and is there – are there any other synonyms we can use?

他當然是有的，而且是有的--我們還有其他的同義詞可以用嗎？

Well, we can say 'record-tying'.

第一部分是'瑕'--F-L-A-W，第二部分是後綴'-無'--L-E-S-S。

We write it together as one word: there's no hyphen and its pronunciation is 'flawless'.  

我們把它連在一起寫成一個字：沒有連字元，它的讀音是 "無瑕"。

Now, a 'flaw' is an imperfection or a mistake,  usually in something that is normally perfect with
