名校勵志英語演講 第98期:執(zhí)著于你的夢想(3)

[00:00.25]And today I want to talk to you a little bit about the dreams, about the dreams of your future, and dreams for this country. 今天，我想跟你們談?wù)剦粝?，關(guān)于暢想你們未來的夢想，關(guān)于中國的夢想。 [00:09.02]I want to talk to you a little bit about dreams, because it seems to me that I'm somewhat of an expert in dreams, 我之所以想跟你們略談夢想，是因為我覺得自己似乎是這方面的專家， [00:13.28]because I had a lot of my dreams become a reality. 因為我的許多夢想都已經(jīng)實現(xiàn)。 [00:17.34]So let me just briefly tell you my story, and tell you a little bit about how I started with my career. 因此，讓我簡單地講述一下我的故事，告訴你們我是怎樣開始我的職業(yè)生涯的。 [00:24.32]I think that this story kind of relates a little bit also to you, and also to China. 我想這個故事多多少少會對你們甚至對中國有所啟示。 [00:31.47]I started way back as a weightlifter. I always liked the idea of lifting weights and being a bodybuilder. 我出道時是個舉重運動員，渴望能成為一名健美運動員。 [00:39.20]From the first moment when I gripped a barbell and held it around the bar and lifted the steel up over my head, 自從第一次抓緊杠鈴、將其高高舉過頭頂之際， [00:48.40]I felt this exhilaration, and I knew then that this is something that I'm going to do; 我就為此感到異常興奮。那時我知道， [00:55.24]that I was in love with that, and this is going to be something that I'm going to do. 我迷上了這項運動，這將是我要做的事情， [00:59.17]I'm going to pursue the sport of weightlifting and bodybuilding. 我將從事舉重和健美運動。 [01:03.36]Now, I remember the first real workout that I had. 我還記得最初那次真正的訓(xùn)練。 [01:09.34]Eight miles away from my home village in Austria there was a gymnasium, and I rode to that gymnasium with a bicycle. 當時我騎著自行車前往一家健身房，那兒離我在奧地利一個小村莊里的家有八英里之遙。 [01:17.15]And there I trained for half an hour, because they said that after half an hour you should stop because otherwise your body will get really sore. 在那里我訓(xùn)練了半個鐘頭，因為它們告訴我，訓(xùn)練必須半小時一停，否則你會全身酸痛。 [01:25.53]But after half an hour I looked at my body, and nothing had happened. 但半小時后，我看看自己的身體，一點變化都沒有！ [01:31.23]So I said, "I'd better work out for another half hour." So I lifted some more. 于是我說：“最好再練半個小時吧?！? [01:35.48]My strength didn't improve, I didn't see the muscles pop out or anything like that, so I trained for another half an hour. 可是我的力氣并未因此增強，也不見肌肉鼓起來。 [01:42.36]And then after another half hour I trained another half hour, and all together I trained two and a half hours. 然后我又練了半小時，再加半小時...結(jié)果總共練了兩個半小時。
