1
5000

我愿意为你描述一下它的样子。
00:23
It's not too big --
2
8000
2000
它并不是很大，
00:25
about the size of a golf ball.
3
10000
2000
大概只有高尔夫球大小。
00:27
So envision what it looks like all wrapped up.
4
12000
3000
包起来大概长这样。
00:30
But before I show you what's inside,

00:45
you haven't heard from in years.

所有的感受。
00:47

11
32000
2000

01:16
you'll have an eight-week vacation
23
61000
2000
你将会有八个礼拜的假期，

36
96000
2000
重生。
01:53
The price?
37
98000
2000
这礼物的价格？
01:55
$55,000,
38
100000
3000
五万五千美金。
01:58
and that's an incredible deal.
39
103000
3000
这真是一笔好买卖。
02:01
By now I know you're dying to know
40
106000
2000
我想你现在一定很想知道
02:03
what it is and where you can get one.
41
108000
3000
这到底是什么，在哪里可买到。
02:06
Does Amazon carry it?
42
111000
2000
亚马逊上有么？
02:08
Does it have the Apple logo on it?
43
113000
2000
上面有苹果的标志么？
02:10
Is there a waiting list?
44
115000
3000
要排队等货么？
02:13
Not likely.
45
118000
2000
不太可能。
02:15
This gift came to me about five months ago.
46
120000
3000
我大概是五个月前得到这份礼物的。
02:18
It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up --
47
123000
2000
包裹起来的话，差不多是这个样子的。
02:20
not quite so pretty.
48
125000
2000
并不是很漂亮。
02:23
And this,
49
128000
2000
再来是这样。
02:26
and then this.
50
131000
3000
再这样。
02:29
It was a rare gem --
51
134000
2000
这个稀有珍宝，
02:31
a brain tumor,
52
136000
2000
是个脑瘤，
02:33
hemangioblastoma --
53
138000
3000
成血管细胞瘤，
02:36
the gift that keeps on giving.
54
141000
3000
一个让你收获不断的礼物。
02:39
And while I'm okay now,
55
144000
2000
我现在已痊愈了，
02:41
I wouldn't wish this gift for you.
56
146000
2000
不过我并不希望你得到这份礼物。
02:43
I'm not sure you'd want it.
57
148000
2000
我不确定你想不想要。
02:45
But I wouldn't change my experience.
58
150000
3000
但是我不会希望这一切再次发生。
02:48
It profoundly altered my life
59
153000
3000
这件事彻底改变了我的人生，
02:51
in ways I didn't expect
60
156000
2000
带来了我刚跟你们讲的那些改变，
02:53
in all the ways I just shared with you.
61
158000
2000
这都是我从未预料到的。
02:55
So the next time you're faced
62
160000
2000
所以下次，
02:57
with something that's unexpected,
63
162000
3000
万一你必须面对出乎意料的事，
03:00
unwanted and uncertain,
64
165000
3000
不管你不要或是不确定的，
03:03
consider
65
168000
2000
你都可以把它
03:05
that it just may be a gift.
66
170000
3000
当成是一份礼物。
03:08
(Applause)
67
173000
3000
(掌声)
