名校勵志英語演講 第99期:執(zhí)著于你的夢想(4)

[00:00.19]Well, let me tell you something. After two and a half hours—even though they told me 讓我告訴你們，盡管他們告訴我不能練那么久，否則會渾身酸痛， [00:05.14]that I shouldn't train that much or I would get really sore—I left the gymnasium, I rode my bicycle home. 但我訓練了兩個半小時，然后離開健身房騎車回家。 [00:09.29]And after the first mile I got numb, and I couldn't feel anymore the handle of the bicycle, 剛走一英里，我頓覺四肢麻木，連車把都感覺不到了， [00:15.44]and I fell off the bike and I fell into the ditch on the side of the road. 結果整個人從車上摔下來。掉進了路邊的水溝里。 [00:20.25]So I got up again and I tried it again. Another few yards, I fell off the bicycle again. 我站立起來，又試了一次，但沒騎多遠又摔了下來。 [00:25.51]And I tried it three, four more times, and I just couldn't ride my bicycle because my body was so numb and my legs felt like noodles. 接下來我又試了三四次，但依舊不行，因為我全身異常酸麻，感覺腿就像面條一樣軟弱無力。 [00:34.00]Well, let me tell you something. The next morning when I got up, my body was so sore that I couldn't even lift my arms to comb my hair. 第二天早上起床，我渾身酸痛，連舉手梳頭都無能為力， [00:40.52]I had to have my mother comb my hair, and you know how embarrassing that is. But you know something? 只好叫我母親幫我梳頭——這真令人難堪！可你們知道嗎， [00:47.20]I learned a very important lesson, that pain means progress. Pain is progress. 我獲得了一個非常重要的教訓：疼痛意味著進步。 [00:54.42]Each time my muscles were sore from a workout I knew that they were growing and they were getting stronger. 要想進步就得吃苦。每次我因過度訓練而感覺肌肉酸痛時，我都知道，我的肌肉在增長、在強壯。 [01:00.40]I think there is a real life lesson in that. 我認為，那其中蘊含著人生真諦。 [01:03.53]After two or three years of discipline and determination and working out hard, I actually changed my body, and I changed my strength. 經過兩三年意志上的磨練和體力上的鍛煉，我最終改變了我的身體，我的力氣也變大了。 [01:12.59]And that told me something; that if I could change my body that much, 這件事告訴我，如果能在很大程度上改變我的身體， [01:16.35]and if I could change the strength of my body that much, then I could also change anything else. 增強我的力氣，我就能改變其他的一切： [01:21.43]I could change my habits, I could change my intelligence, I could change my attitude, my mind, my future, my life. 我能改變不好的習慣，能增強我的智慧，能改變我的態(tài)度、思想以及我的未來和我的人生。 [01:29.23]And this is exactly what I have done. I think that that lesson applies to people, 事實上我已經做到了。我想，這一教訓也適用于任何人， [01:34.23]and it also applies to countries. You can change, China can change, everyone in the world can change. 也適用于任何國家。你們可以改變，中國可以改變，世界上每一個人都可以改變。
