ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly - Former U.S. Representative and NASA astronaut; survivors
After Rep. Gabby Giffords was wounded by a would-be assassin’s bullet in January 2011, she and her husband, Mark Kelly, a NASA astronaut, retired US Navy captain and combat veteran, have become known around the world for their story of hope and resilience.

Why you should listen

For nearly 15 years, Gabby Giffords has dedicated herself to public service. As the youngest woman ever elected to the Arizona State Senate, she represented her community in the Arizona Legislature from 2000-2005, and then in US Congress from 2006-2012. In Congress, Gabby represented a diverse area that covers 9,000 square miles including a 114-mile border with Mexico. She quickly became a leading champion of border security, energy independence, and the needs of military families and veterans. She was consistently ranked as one of the most centrist legislators in Congress. 

In 2007, Giffords married Mark Kelly, a Naval aviator who flew 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm and NASA astronaut. Mark flew his first of four missions in 2001 aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour, the same space shuttle that he commanded on its final flight in May 2011. He has also commanded Space Shuttle Discovery and is one of only two individuals who have visited the International Space Station on four different occasions.

On January 8, 2011 in Tucson, Arizona, an assassination attempt at an event with constituents left Giffords severely wounded, and six others dead. Since that day, Gabby and Mark have become known for their story of hope and resilience in the wake of tragedy.

2428
但是我必须承认,我的妻子还有
09:10
a lot of other members会员 of Congress国会 that I know,

538111
1669
很多我认识的国会成员
09:11

208
539780
1408
都非常努力地工作
09:13
I mean, Gabby饶舌 would run
around like a crazy person,
209
541188
2275
我的意思是,加贝是工作狂
09:15
never take a day off,
210
543463
1854
从来都不休息
09:17
maybe a half a day off a month,
211
545317
2126
或许一个月休息半天
09:19
and whenever每当 she was awake苏醒 she was working加工,
212
547443
2480
以及她只要是醒着都在工作
09:21
and she really, really thrived蓬勃发展 on that,
213
549923
2385
她真的真的热衷于工作
09:24

帕特:在她屋顶安装太阳能板
09:29
I have to say.
216
557067
1282
我不得不说
09:30
So after the tragic悲惨 incident事件, Mark标记,
217
558349
3578
所以在那悲剧事件之后,马克
09:33
you decided决定 to resign辞职
218
561927
1729
你决定辞去
09:35
your position位置 as an astronaut宇航员,
219
563656
1700
你作为宇航员的工作
09:37
even though虽然 you were supposed应该 to take
220
565356
1554
即使你原本打算接受
09:38
the next下一个 space空间 mission任务.
221
566910
1741
下一个太空任务
09:40
Everybody每个人, including包含 Gabby饶舌,
222
568651
1681
每个人,包括加贝
09:42
talked you into going back,
223
570332
1580
都劝说你回去
09:43
and you did end结束 up taking服用.
224
571912
1873
你最后也接受了
09:45
MKMK: Kind of. The day after Gabby饶舌 was injured受伤,
225
573785
3168
马克:有一点。在加贝受伤后的那一天
09:48
I called my boss老板, the chief首席 astronaut宇航员,
226
576953
2104
我打给我的老板,首席宇航员
09:51
Dr博士. Peggy佩吉 Whitson惠特森, and I said,
227
579057
1952
佩吉·惠特森博士,然后我说
09:53
"Peggy佩吉, I know I'm launching发射 in space空间
228
581009
1665
“佩吉,我知道我即将登陆太空
09:54
in three months个月 from now.
229
582674
2293
在三个月内
09:56
Gabby's爱说话的 in a coma昏迷. I'm in Tucson图森.
230
584967
2451
加贝昏迷了。我现在在图森
09:59
You've got to find a replacement替代 for me."
231
587418
1815
你需要帮我找一个替补的人”
10:01
So I didn't actually其实 resign辞职 from being存在 an astronaut宇航员,
232
589233
1720
所以我没有真正地辞去宇航员的职务
10:02
but I gave up my job工作 and they found发现 a replacement替代.
233
590953
2922
但我放弃了我的工作,而他们找到了替补者
10:05
Months later后来, maybe about two months个月 later后来,
234
593875
2990
几个月之后,可能大概两个月后
10:08
I started开始 about getting得到 my job工作 back,
235
596865
2210
我开始要回我的工作
10:11
which哪一个 is something,
236

10:15

605545
2548
一定也经历过同样的事情
10:20
it's a challenging具有挑战性的 role角色 but at some point
240
608093
1777
这是一个很挑战的角色,但到了某种程度
10:21
you've got to figure数字 out when
you're going to get your life back,
241
609870
2721
你必须搞清楚什么时候会把你的生活找回来
10:24
and at the time, I couldn't不能 ask Gabby饶舌
242
612591
1773
在那时候,我不能问加贝
10:26
if she wanted me to go fly in the space空间 shuttle穿梭 again.
243
614364
3681
她是否想我再去航天飞机飞行
10:30

马克:她是我事业的最大的支持者
10:34
and I knew知道 it was the right thing to do.
246
622647
2196
而我知道这是正确的事情
10:36
PM下午: And yet然而 I'm trying to imagine想像, Mark标记,
247
624843
2005
帕特:可是我试着想象,马克
10:38
what that was like, going off onto a mission任务,
248
626848
3278
那是什么样的,离开去执行任务
10:42
one presumes假定 safely安然,
but it's never a guarantee保证,
249
630126
3497
普遍认为是安全的,但从来没有人能保证
10:45
and knowing会心 that Gabby饶舌 is —
250
633623
3037
在了解加贝是 —
10:48
MKMK: Well not only was

11:05
Gabby饶舌 was in brain surgery手术,
258

2824
加贝正在接受脑部手术
11:07
literally按照字面 at that time having the final最后 surgery手术
259
655992
2684
那时真的是最后一个手术
11:10

264
669040
3236
第一次参观我们图森的家
11:24
Gabby饶舌 would usually平时 go up to the freezer冰箱
265
672276
1736
加贝通常会去冰柜
11:26
and pull out the piece of Tupperware特百惠
266
674012
2068
拿出一个保鲜盒
11:28

267
676080
3060
里面有真正的头骨 (笑声)
11:31

帕特:那是开胃菜还是甜品呢,马克?
11:37
MKMK: Well, it just gets得到 the conversation会话 going.
270
685936
4098
马克:嗯,那只是让对话持续下去
11:42
PM下午: But there was a lot
of conversation会话 about
271
690034
2028
帕特:但一定有很多谈话关于
11:44
something you did, Gabby饶舌, after Mark's分数 flight飞行.
272
692062
3078
你做的一些事情,加贝,在马克的飞行任务之后
11:47
You had to make another另一个
step of courage勇气 too,
273
695140
3438
你不得不又迈出勇气的一步
11:50
because here was
Congress国会 deadlocked僵持 again,
274
698578
3802
因为国会又陷入僵局了
11:54
and you got out of the rehabilitation复原 center中央,
275
702380
5922
你离开了康复中心
12:00
got yourself你自己 to Washington华盛顿
276
708302
2461
设法让自己去华盛顿
12:02
so that you could walk步行
on the floor地板 of the House --
277
710773
2897
以便你能在国会里行走
12:05
I can barely仅仅 talk about this
without getting得到 emotional情绪化
278
713670
2652
我很难不带感情地去谈这件事—
12:08
and cast a vote投票 which哪一个 could have been
279
716322
2959
并投下一票,那可能是
12:11
the deciding决定 vote投票.
280
719281
1835
决定性的一票
12:13
GGGG: The debt债务 ceiling天花板. The debt债务 ceiling天花板.
281

12:16
MKMK: Yeah, we had that vote投票,
282
724365
2559
马克:是啊,我们赢了那次的投票
12:18
I guess猜测 about five months个月 after Gabby饶舌 was injured受伤,
283
726924
1950
我猜大概是在加贝受伤的五个月之后
12:20
and she made制作 this bold胆大 decision决定 to go back.
284
728874
2498
她做出了这个大胆的决定要回去
12:23
A very controversial争论的 vote投票,
285
731372
2153
一个有争议的选择
12:25
but she wanted to be there
286
733525
1509
但是她想回去
12:27
to have her voice语音 heard听说 one more time.
287
735034
2597
让她的声音再一次被倾听
12:29
PM下午: And after that, resigned辞职
288
737631
1775
帕特:在那之后,辞职
12:31
and began开始 what has been a very slow
289
739406

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly - Former U.S. Representative and NASA astronaut; survivors
After Rep. Gabby Giffords was wounded by a would-be assassin’s bullet in January 2011, she and her husband, Mark Kelly, a NASA astronaut, retired US Navy captain and combat veteran, have become known around the world for their story of hope and resilience.

Why you should listen

For nearly 15 years, Gabby Giffords has dedicated herself to public service. As the youngest woman ever elected to the Arizona State Senate, she represented her community in the Arizona Legislature from 2000-2005, and then in US Congress from 2006-2012. In Congress, Gabby represented a diverse area that covers 9,000 square miles including a 114-mile border with Mexico. She quickly became a leading champion of border security, energy independence, and the needs of military families and veterans. She was consistently ranked as one of the most centrist legislators in Congress. 

In 2007, Giffords married Mark Kelly, a Naval aviator who flew 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm and NASA astronaut. Mark flew his first of four missions in 2001 aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour, the same space shuttle that he commanded on its final flight in May 2011. He has also commanded Space Shuttle Discovery and is one of only two individuals who have visited the International Space Station on four different occasions.

On January 8, 2011 in Tucson, Arizona, an assassination attempt at an event with constituents left Giffords severely wounded, and six others dead. Since that day, Gabby and Mark have become known for their story of hope and resilience in the wake of tragedy.
