I mean, certainly Ronnie never fails to deliver.

我的意思是，羅尼當然從未失手。

Uh I think it was something that, that needed to be addressed.

And uh obviously, it's something that I don't like personally to see bully and intimidate.

很顯然，我個人並不喜歡看到這種欺凌和恐嚇。

I think there are two words that are very motive.

Uh And I think probably relevant to be perfectly honest with you, you know, the game's come a long way.

實話跟你說吧，遊戲已經發展得很成熟了。

Um We've made a huge amount of progress over the last few years across the world to become a truly global sport.

Um 過去幾年，我們在世界各地取得了巨大進步，成為了一項真正的全球性運動。

And for that reason, we have to have standards and we have to have professional uh standards by players as well as of officials and tournament organizers.

是以，我們必須制定標準，球員、官員和賽事組織者都必須達到專業標準。

When we, when we look at other sports, we are now competing with those.

當我們審視其他體育項目時，我們現在正在與這些項目競爭。

We're not the little boy, we're not the little shop on the corner.

我們不是小男孩，也不是街角的小商店。

We're up there at the sharp end and we're competing with the golf and the tennis and the footballs and rugby because we're a major global sport and that brings responsibilities particularly on players.

因為我們是一項重要的全球性運動，所以我們要與高爾夫球、網球、足球和橄欖球競爭，這尤其給運動員帶來了責任。

We, we incorporate those in a player contract because we have to set it out the rules of how you what you can do and what you can't do pretty well.

我們在球員合同中加入了這些內容，因為我們必須明確規定你能做什麼，不能做什麼。

The same as life really, you know, if you park on a double yellow line, you get told off or you get fined, that's a rule and snook is no different.

其實這和生活中的情況是一樣的，你知道，如果你把車停在雙黃線上，你就會被告發或被罰款，這是規則，斯諾克也不例外。

This to this contract is devised between Welsh Snooker and the players governing body, the W PBS A and actually, it's constantly reviewed and is currently being reviewed again to make sure that we really are delivering the product that our sponsors and our customers and our partners want to see within that contract.

這份合同是由威爾士斯諾克和球員管理機構 W PBS A 共同制定的，實際上，我們一直在對這份合同進行審查，目前正在再次審查，以確保我們能夠真正提供我們的贊助商、客戶和合作夥伴希望在合同中看到的產品。

There is a code of conduct, that code of conduct is the same for every player and every player signs a contract to agree to abide by the code of conduct.

有一個行為準則，每個球員的行為準則都是一樣的，而且每個球員都簽署了同意遵守行為準則的合同。

So when you break it, please don't accuse anyone of bullying or intimidation.

是以，當你打破它時，請不要指責任何人欺凌或恐嚇。

If someone points out that you are in breach and things that we will never ever accept or things like we will never accept the scene of our language.

如果有人指出你違反了我們永遠不會接受的規定，或者說我們永遠不會接受我們的語言場景。

We will never accept officials being in public uh criticized in the open media.

我們決不允許官員在公開場合受到媒體的責備。

We will never expect criticism of our partners, our sponsors or our television companies.

我們永遠不會期待對我們的合作伙伴、贊助商或電視公司的責備。

There is a procedure behind the code of conduct which allows you to complain but not in the public media because that doesn't do anybody any good.

行為準則背後有一個程序，允許你投訴，但不能在公共媒體上投訴，因為這對任何人都沒有好處。

So I can't really say more than everyone's treated the same, the rules are there and the rules are to change if the players themselves want to change them.

是以，除了對每個人都一視同仁，規則就在那裡，如果球員自己想改變規則，規則就會改變之外，我真的不能說更多了。

And there is a method of how they can change them, but it's not, it's not something to blurt out.

有一種方法可以讓他們改變自己，但這不是，這不是說出來就能做到的。

Well, that said clearly it looked like it was escalating because the language that you use in response had a whiff of legalese about it.

好吧，話雖如此，但很明顯，這看起來像是在升級，因為你在迴應時使用的語言帶有一絲法律的味道。

Barry, are you confident you can get a resolution with?

巴里，你有信心解決這個問題嗎？

Now, uh the legalese language if you like was because I personally disapprove of any form of bullying or intimidation and frankly, it wasn't the case and hasn't been the case.

現在，如果你願意，可以用法律語言來表達，因為我個人不贊成任何形式的欺凌或恐嚇行為，坦率地說，過去沒有，現在也沒有。

Players that have criticized the players' contract have never been specific about what they don't like and the door is always open to them to come, come and tell me what your problem is, come and explain to the players representatives W PBS A because nothing happens without their consent and they are your governing body.

那些責備球員合同的球員從來沒有具體說明他們不喜歡什麼，而且大門始終向他們敞開著，讓他們來吧，來告訴我你們有什麼問題，來向球員代表 W PBS A 解釋，因為沒有他們的同意，任何事情都不會發生，他們是你們的管理機構。

Don't just go off on a tangent and try and blame something on something which is not really applicable.

不要一意孤行，試圖把責任歸咎於某些並不適用的東西。

The players' contract is a fundamental part of the image of the game of snooker to the world and we can't ignore it, you know.

球員合同是斯諾克運動在世界面前的基本形象，我們不能忽視它。

Well, actually John Higgins is on record as saying when all of this blew up that and there are some points in that contract that may be a bit over the top.

事實上，約翰-希金斯曾公開表示，當所有這一切爆發時，合同中有些地方可能有點過火。

Now, I I'm not sure specifically what they are.

現在，我不確定它們具體是什麼。

I don't think these top players, I don't think they've either read the players' contract themselves.

我不認為這些頂級球員會親自閱讀球員合同。

Even some of the older players have they read every word?

即使是一些年長的球員，他們讀過每一個字嗎？

Do they, have they read it and don't understand it or have they read it?

他們是讀了卻不理解，還是讀了卻不理解？

So, when players are say there's two or three things in the players' contract, we don't like I say to them, fine, not a problem.

所以，當球員們說球員合同中有兩三件事我們不喜歡時，我會對他們說，好吧，沒問題。

But these players, when we put these things together, these are the players that don't attend the meetings that don't come and put their point across that don't write in, that don't read it and criticize, they wait for a platform to express something probably, probably out of frustration.

但這些球員，當我們把這些東西放在一起時，這些球員沒有參加會議，沒有來表達他們的觀點，沒有寫信，沒有閱讀和責備，他們等待一個平臺來表達一些東西，可能是出於無奈。

And what we're saying is we're not looking for a problem on this.

我們想說的是，我們不是要在這件事上找問題。

We've now got a players commission, Sean Murphy, Alan mcmanus, Mark Allen, Mark Williams.

我們現在有一個球員委員會：肖恩-墨菲（Sean Murphy）、阿蘭-麥克馬努斯（Alan Mcmanus）、馬克-艾倫（Mark Allen）和馬克-威廉姆斯（Mark Williams）。

I mean, these are, these are guys with an opinion and we will sit down with them and we will agree every word, but once we agree it and both sides are happy that contract has to be enforced.

我的意思是，這些人都是有主見的人，我們會和他們坐下來，我們會同意每一個字，但一旦我們同意了，雙方都滿意了，合同就必須執行。

And if that means disciplinary proceedings, there will be disciplinary proceedings because we can't have anarchy.

如果這意味著紀律處分程序，那就會有紀律處分程序，因為我們不能無政府狀態。

This sport is no longer a little boys club of getting together on a Friday night, making a few quid and having a laugh and saying and doing whatever you want, that's not the real world and we live in the real world.

這項運動不再是週五晚上聚在一起賺幾英鎊、開懷大笑、想說什麼就說什麼、想做什麼就做什麼的小男孩俱樂部，那不是真實的世界，而我們生活在真實的世界裡。

I should also point out that John Higgins was very supportive of many of the other initiatives that been going on in the house un just to give a bit of balance.

我還應該指出，約翰-希金斯非常支持議院內正在進行的許多其他倡議，只是為了平衡一下。

Uh, but we also are in a situation here, Barry that, uh, Mark said become the first player ever to break the million pounds barrier in terms of earnings in one season if we were to go on and win this.

巴里說，如果我們能奪冠，我們將成為史上首位單賽季收入突破百萬英鎊大關的球員。

But there was a lot of dissent and talk last year about what's been happening at the, at the lower reaches of the sport.

但去年有很多人對這項運動的下層發生的事情提出了異議和議論。

Those who are just within the 64 and beyond.

那些剛剛進入 64 歲及以上的人。

What changes are you making to try and help?

您正在做出哪些改變來嘗試提供幫助？

I mean, this is again, this is the result of people like Ken and the other players actually fight in the corner of the less lesser the lesser known players.

我的意思是，這又是像肯這樣的人和其他選手為那些不太知名的選手而戰的結果。

I think we all understood and, and it's becoming crystal clear.

我想我們都明白，而且也越來越清楚。

現在，這項巡演每年進行 52 周。

So today we are going to announce that number one, we're gonna look at our prize money.

今天我們要宣佈的第一件事 就是我們的獎金。

We're changing and increasing prize money again, going forward into next year with an emphasis on the lower levels.

明年，我們將再次改變和增加獎金，重點放在低級別賽事上。

In other words, to make the prize money go deeper into a tournament number two.

換句話說，就是讓獎金更深入地投入到二號賽事中。

And I think most important we're going to abolish entry fees.

我認為最重要的是，我們將取消入場費。

We feel that we've become a global game now.

我們覺得，我們現在已經成為一個全球性的遊戲。

And as such, entry fees were a thing of the past when, when there wasn't the money in the sport where we had to have help from the players themselves to play for their own money.

是以，參賽費已經成為過去式，因為當時這項運動還沒有那麼多錢，我們只能靠球員自己的幫助來比賽賺錢。

When Ken started, it was the basis of financing a lot of tournaments.

在 Ken 創辦之初，這是資助許多錦標賽的基礎。

So that will save every player approximately about £5000 which will make a big difference to a lot of the players down the bottom because, you know, for guys, if they're not winning anything, you know, that 5000 is a lot of money and of course, that's net as well.

是以，這將為每名球員節省大約 5000 英鎊，這對很多底層球員來說意義重大，因為，你知道，對於球員來說，如果他們什麼都沒贏，你知道，這 5000 英鎊就是一大筆錢，當然，這也是淨收入。

Without like the tax, you know, so, you know, you have to earn maybe 10,000 to get that at least £5000 and expenses.

在不交稅的情況下，你知道，你必須掙到 1 萬英鎊才能得到至少 5000 英鎊的收入和支出。

是以，這將是一個值得歡迎的消息。

It would be good for a lot of the players.

We like to see a lot, a little bit more money as Barry said, down at the bottom levels for the players as well.

正如巴里所說，我們希望看到底層球員也能得到更多的錢。

So when they win a match, they've got a bit more, you know, when they're traveling to China, you know, it's costing them a lot for flights and a not for accommodation, but for flights and stuff like that.

是以，當他們贏得一場比賽時，他們的收入就會多一些，你知道，當他們前往中國時，你知道，他們的機票和住宿費用都很高，但機票和類似的費用並不高。

We'd like to see a little bit more of that down the bottom.

我們希望在底部看到更多這樣的東西。

I think, I think we're going to see this year.

我想，我想我們今年會看到的。

What we're announcing again today that our prize money this year is going to go up to £12 million.

我們今天再次宣佈，今年的獎金將增至 1200 萬英鎊。

Now, six years ago, it was 3.5 million, it's gone to 12.

六年前，這個數字是 350 萬，現在已經變成了 12 萬。

But more importantly is this is just the beginning.

但更重要的是，這僅僅是個開始。

You know, we have deals in place now, which we will be announcing over the next few weeks, which are gonna show an entirely different climate coming in in terms of prize money from China.

你知道，我們現在已經達成了一些協議，我們將在接下來的幾周內宣佈這些協議，這些協議將顯示出來自中國的獎金會有一個完全不同的氣候。

For example, we are delighted to say that we've just agreed a new 10 year deal with the national television company in China CCTV.

例如，我們很高興地宣佈，我們剛剛與中國中央電視臺達成了一項為期 10 年的新協議。

是以，我們的未來是有保障的。

Now, the only people who can mess this up is us, the players.

現在，唯一能搞砸這一切的人就是我們，球員們。

They're, they're delivering brilliant entertainment.

他們正在提供精彩的娛樂節目。

We have to be a professional sport in the same way when I look at golf, you know, II, I remember a golf of mine that used a four letter word on the 17th tee of an event with two Spectators when he walked off the 18th t he was fined £2000 by the PGA.

我記得我的一個高爾夫球手在一次有兩名觀眾的比賽中，在第 17 個發球臺上使用了四個字母的單詞，當他走下第 18 個發球臺時，他被 PGA 罰款 2000 英鎊。

That's how, that's how you keep the level of respect and the perception of value and class and quality that snooker is.

這就是如何保持斯諾克的受尊重程度、價值感、品位和品質。

We've got great players, we have to listen to the players all the time and I think this new players commission is gonna be a V addition to the circuit because these guys are not frightened of me.

我們有很棒的球員，我們必須時刻傾聽球員的心聲，我認為這個新的球員委員會將為巡迴賽增添新的活力，因為這些球員並不害怕我。

You know, a guy that's just got his tour card is a little bit in awe of rocking the boat.

要知道，一個剛拿到巡迴賽參賽證的人，對搖晃小船是有點敬畏的。

Ken Ken Doherty, Mark Allen, Mark Williams.

肯-肯-多爾蒂、馬克-艾倫、馬克-威廉姆斯。

They don't care about rocking the boat, so we'll get a balanced view to go forward to be fair to everybody and that's what we want.

他們不在乎搖晃船隻，所以我們會得到一個平衡的觀點來前進，對每個人都是公平的，這就是我們想要的。

But at the same time I gave certain guarantees six years ago, on the level of prize money this year, I have surpassed those guarantees by £26 million.

但與此同時，我在六年前做出了一定的保證，就今年的獎金水準而言，我已經超過了這些保證，達到了 2600 萬英鎊。

How, how much can you further align the business to accommodate the Far Eastern market?

你們如何進一步調整業務以適應遠東市場？

Because I know with interest, we had six Chinese players and we had no on obviously from Thailand as well.

因為我很感興趣地知道，我們有六名中國球員，而且顯然也沒有來自泰國的球員。

And you're on record as saying, half of the, the top 16 is gonna probably be made up of Chinese cumin within the next five years.

你曾公開表示，在未來五年內，16 強中有一半可能會是中國孜然。

I inevitably will the sport much more prevalently go.

我不可避免地將這項運動更加普及。

It's interesting, you see the whole point of the businesses are all about supply and demand.

有趣的是，你會發現企業的全部意義都在於供求關係。

So we control the number of tournaments all over the world in China.

是以，我們控制著全世界在中國舉辦比賽的數量。
