And four years年份 ago,
81
246982
1357
在四年前,
04:20
when I jumped跳下 into the Antarctic南极洲 Ocean海洋,
82
248363
2214
当我只身跳进了南极洋,
04:22
wearing穿着 nothing but a swimsuit泳装,
cap and goggles风镜,
83
250601
3508
除了泳衣、泳帽和泳镜,
以及“就这么做”的坚定意志,
04:26
with an unwavering毫不动摇 spirit精神 of just doing,
84

04:31
When I jumped跳下 into that
zero-to-one-degree-Celsius零至1摄氏度 water,
86
259121
3461
当我跳入几乎零度的冰水中,
04:34
I realized实现 that I had prepared准备
my body身体 and mind心神 for the cold,
87
262606
4281
我意识到了我的身心
都已为严寒做好准备,
04:38
but what I wasn't prepared准备 for
was the density密度 of the water.
88
266911
4221
但是我没有准备好的
却是面对水的密度。
04:43
Every一切 stroke行程 felt
like pulling through通过 oil.
89
271577
3082
每一次摆臂都犹如
在厚重的油中前行,
04:46
And in the first five minutes分钟,
90
274683
1453
在前 5 分钟,
04:48
I had that paralyzing瘫痪 thought
of just giving up.
91
276160
3266
我几乎想要放弃了。
04:51
How nice不错 it would be
to just forget忘记 about all this,
92
279953
2690
忘了这次挑战,
04:54
get on the boat,
93
282667
1151
直接跳回船上,
04:55
stand underneath the hot shower淋浴
94
283842
1711
洗个热水澡,
04:57
or wrap myself in a warm blanket?
95
285577
2952
或给自己披个温暖的毯子该有多好?
05:00
But with that thought,
96
288553
1461
但是伴随着这个念头,
05:02
also came来了 a stronger,
a more willful恣意 voice语音 from deep within.
97
290038
4587
内心深处还有一个更强大的声音,
05:06
"You know you have it in you
to just take one more stroke行程."
98
294649
3492
“你知道,你还可以再划一次。”
05:10
So I lifted取消 my arm and took a stroke行程.
99
298165
2349
所以,我举起了我的手臂,
又划了一次,
05:12
"Now one more."
100
300538
1230
“现在再划一次。”
05:13
So I took a second第二 and a third第三 stroke行程.
101
301792
2722
所以,我划了第二次、第三次。
05:17
By the fourth第四 one,
102
305197
1460
在我划到第四次时,
05:18
I saw a penguin企鹅 swimming游泳的
underneath my stomach.
103
306681
2944
我看到一只企鹅从我肚皮底下游过,
05:22
It came来了 up to my left
and started开始 swimming游泳的 with me.
104
310133
3322
它来到我的左侧,
开始和我一起游泳,
05:25
"See? A penguin企鹅 is cheering欢呼 you on,"
105
313479
2064
“看到吗?一只企鹅在为你喝彩呢,”
05:27
said that voice语音 within.
106
315567
1433
内心的声音对我说道。
05:29
(Applause掌声 and cheers干杯)
107
317024
3447
(掌声和欢呼)
05:32
I looked看着 up to my people on the boat.
108
320495
2400
我抬头看了下我船上的团队,
05:35
They had the same相同 smile微笑 on their faces面孔
that I had on mine.
109
323395
3332
他们脸上挂着和我同样的笑容。
05:39
The same相同 smile微笑 that we all have
110
327070
2198
这和我们遇到困境
05:41
when we are stuck卡住 in a difficult situation情况
111
329292
2389
却看到希望曙光
05:43
and we see a ray射线 of hope希望.
112
331705
1667
所拥有的相同的笑容。
05:45
We take it as a sign标志 from destiny命运,
113
333720
2016
我们把它视作命运的征兆,
05:47
and we just keep pushing推动 forward前锋.
114
335760
2325
于是不断向前。
05:50
Just as I did,
115
338109
1365
于是我继续不停的划水,
05:51
and 41 minutes分钟 later后来,
116
339498
1690

1690
若不是我花了
这么多时间学会独处,
06:12
if I had not spent花费 so much time alone单独,

We all have our own拥有
internal内部 demons恶魔, don't we?
139
399053

我们都有自己的心魔,不是吗?
06:54
In a day-to-day日复一日 life,
you can hide隐藏 from them,
140
402379
2841
在我们的日常生活中,你可以

141
405244
2825
躲在工作或其他许多
让你分心的事情后面。
07:00
But like I said,
142
408879
1650
但就像我所说,
07:02

148
425191
2650

3692
还有精疲力竭,
07:39
that just wants to quit放弃 swimming游泳的.
155
447785
1913
时常想放弃游泳的我。
07:41
But I also love it,
156
449722
1825
但我也爱它,
07:43
because this sport运动 has given特定 me
moments瞬间 that I can look back on
157
451571
4197
因为这项运动带给了我
07:47

158
455792
1747
在失去动力时可以回首的时刻。
07:49
And they bring带来 me to my knees膝盖,
159
457879
2325
这些时刻让我保持谦逊,
07:52
because I feel so grateful感激.
160
460228
1800
因为我心存感激。
07:54
Many许多 of you may可能 not
spend hours小时 swimming游泳的 non-stop马不停蹄.
161
462855
4932
你们大多数人大概
没有不间断地游泳过,
08:00
But who do you spend
the most amount of your time with?
162
468224
3753
但是你们大多数时间
又是与谁相处呢?
08:04
You may可能 share分享 your external外部 space空间
with many许多 others其他,
163
472628
3394
你或许会花时间
与外界接触,和他人相处,
08:08
but there is one constant不变 companion伴侣
that you all have:
164
476046
3519
但是我们都有一个共同的伙伴:
08:12
you.
165
480204
1150
你自己。
08:13
And yet然而, most of us may可能 never come
to knowing会心 who we really are.
166
481792
4488
然而,很多人还未意识到
我们自己是谁。
08:18
I'm a daughter女儿, an Indian印度人,
a swimmer游泳者, a student学生.
167
486686
3698
我是一个女儿,一个印度人,
一个游泳选手,一个学生。
08:22
But I am so much more.
168
490717
1619
但我的身份远远不止这些。
08:25
If you are not investing投资 in yourself你自己,
169
493249
2550
如果你不投资你自己,
08:27
not setting设置 a path路径
that brings带来 you closer接近 to you,
170
495823
3778
无法确定一条适合你自己的路,
08:31
no amount of "success成功" in life
can bring带来 you lasting持久 joy喜悦 or satisfaction满意.
171
499625
5136
无论生命中多少的“成功”
都无法带给你永远的喜悦或满足。
08:37
Even today今天,
172
505419
1151
甚至在今天,
08:38
when I can't find motivation动机
or joy喜悦 in what I'm doing,
173
506594
3642
当我在我所做的事中
找不到任何动力或是乐趣,
08:42
all I ask myself is,
174
510260
1770
我会问我自己,
08:44
"Is this the best最好 I can do right now?"
175
512054
2400
“这就是你能做到的最好吗?”
08:46
And the meaning含义 of my "best最好" changes变化.
176
514938
2206
“最好”的意义已经改变,
08:49
On some days, it means手段 not giving up,
177
517168
2928
在某些日子,它意味着不放弃,
08:52
continuing继续 to swim游泳 in freezing冷冻 water
and setting设置 a world世界 record记录.
178
520120
3143
在冰寒中游泳,打破世界纪录。
08:55
But on many许多 other days,
179
523605
1623
但在其他的日子里,
08:57
it means手段 getting得到 over
my depressing压抑 thoughts思念,
180
525252
2549
它意味着战胜内心的沮丧,
08:59
stepping步进 out of the house
181
527825
1419
走出家门,
09:01
and being存在 able能够 to do the daily日常 chores琐事.
182
529268
2674
能够处理日常琐事。
09:03
What does not change更改 is that voice语音 within.
183
531966
3000
不变的永远是内心的那个声音,
09:06
That internal内部 compass罗盘
184
534990

内心的指针指引我
09:08
which哪一个 guides导游 me
to a better self every一切 day.

1357
像身在海里。
但是——

But --
198
573498
1181
巴:(笑声)说笑的,当然。
09:46

199
574703
1949
沙:作为游泳选手,
你下一个目标是什么?
09:48

(掌声)
10:00
Even saying it out loud gives me shivers不寒而栗,

但是这是一个远大的目标,
10:05
that I don't want to accept接受
that I have set that goal目标,
207

that's the part部分 of it.
208
595654
2534
但是这也是令人激动的一部分,
这是人生的一部分。
10:10
And my idea理念 is that if I make it
to the Olympics奥运会 or I don't make it,
209
598212
4365

10:14
that doesn't matter,
210
602601
1151
都没关系,
但是我会为之努力训练,
10:15
