Olympic badminton champion Lin Dan apologized on Thursday for cheating on his wife, hours after the affair was exposed online.

本周四有网友在微博上爆料奥运会羽毛球冠军林丹出轨，几小时过后林丹对此事做出了回应，承认并对出轨一事道歉。

Photos featuring the two-time Olympic champion, who became a father two weeks ago, dating a woman during his wife Xie Xingfang’s pregnancy were posted by entertainment reporter Zhao Wu’er on micro blog service Sina Weibo on Thursday morning.

本周四早间，娱乐记者"赵五儿"在新浪微博上贴出了两届奥运会冠军得主林丹（林丹两周前刚刚成为爸爸）在其妻子谢杏芳怀孕期间和一名女子约会的照片。

"As a man, I don’t defend what I have done. My behavior has hurt my family. Here, I apologize to my family. Sorry," Lin wrote on his Sina Weibo account in the early afternoon.

周四下午早些时候林丹在其新浪微博上写道："做为一个男人我不为自己做更多的辩解。但是我的行为伤害了我的家人。在这里我向我的家人道歉，对不起。"

Lin’s post received more than 100,000 comments within 20 minutes of being published, some saying "I’m really so disappointed that my idol did such shameful thing" while some said "it doesn’t change all the glories he won for the country".

林丹的微博在发出后20分钟之内就得到了10万多评论，一些网友说道："我的偶像做出了这么可耻的事情我真的很失望。"而另一些网友则表示说："这并不能改变他为这个国家所赢得的那些荣誉。"

One of the country’s most high-profile couples, Lin and Xie, who is also a badminton world champion, started dating in 2004 and got married six years later. Their son was born on Nov 4.

林丹和谢杏芳是中国最为有名的夫妻之一，后者也是一名羽毛球世界冠军，他们两人从2004年开始谈恋爱，并于6年后结婚。11月4日林丹和谢杏芳儿子刚刚出生。

Dubbed "Super Dan" in China, Lin is the only man to have retained the Olympic singles title — in 2008 and 2012 — and the most successful singles player in the World Championships, winning five times between 2006 and 2013.



林丹在中国被称为"超级丹"，是唯一卫冕奥运会羽毛球单打冠军（2008年北京奥运会和2012年伦敦奥运会）的人，并且也是羽毛球世锦赛中最为成功的单打运动员，在2006年至2013年期间共5次赢得世界冠军。

Xie, also a former world No 1, has two World Championship titles and won the silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

林丹终于回应：不做辩解，并向家人道歉(make/offer an apology)，不知道谢杏芳能否接受他的道歉(accept his apology)？不知道第三方赵雅淇如何回应？反倒是刘恺威和王鸥终于松了一口气（feel relieved)，他俩必须感谢超级丹为他们成功转移了关注度（to divert one's attention away from something/someone)。
