A show of hands, how many people has dealt with pain somewhere in your life,

right?
对吧?
Today, I wanted to just really hit on something, successfully dealing with pain.
今天,我想重点谈谈一个话题:如何成功地应对疼痛。
I think you hear, you hear many stories and every story I just sat in the back room and listen to.
我觉得你听过很多故事;每一个故事,我都只是坐在后面的房间里静静地听着而已。
I'm watching these people triumph and figure out ways to keep going, but
我看到这些人不断取得成功,也在想办法继续前进……
how do you keep going?
你是怎么坚持下去的?
Why do you keep going when
既然情况已经如此糟糕,你为什么还要继续坚持下去呢?
the world says everything else is supposed to be opposite?
难道这个世界认为其他所有的事情都应该反过来(即与常规相反)吗?
October 7th, we're playing the Dallas Cowboys in Baltimore.
10月7日,我们将在巴尔的摩与达拉斯牛仔队进行比赛。
I've
我已
studied all week, I've studied all week for this one moment, and I know it's going to happen.
我整个星期都在学习,就是为了这一刻;我知道这件事一定会发生。
I know it's going to happen, and I'm looking at Tony Romo,
我知道这件事一定会发生,此刻我的目光正盯着托尼·罗莫(Tony Romo)。
and I'm watching him drop back, and I'm saying to myself, I'm saying, drop and just pick up your hands and just pick it.
我看着他逐渐落后,心里想:“你就放松下来,举起双手,把东西捡起来就行了。
Pick means interception, all right,
Pick”在这里指的是“拦截”动作,明白了吗?
and I'm saying, just catch it, just pick your hands up and catch it, Lou.
我说,你就把它接过来吧,举起你的手把它接住,Lou。
You don't thought it's played all week,
你难道没想过这场比赛会持续整整一周吗?
fourth quarter, big drive, Baltimore going crazy,
第四节:巴尔的摩队发起了一次猛烈的进攻,球迷们兴奋不已(“going crazy”表示球迷们情绪高涨、疯狂欢呼)。
and in the midst of it, the play happens, the room will drop,
就在这一切发生的时刻,戏剧性的场景出现了……整个房间仿佛都陷入了寂静之中。
and I'm sitting there, and in my head, I promise you, I went through every thought,
我就坐在那里,而在我的脑海里,我向你保证,我仔细思考了每一个念头。
catch it, knock it down, don't put your hands up.
抓住它,把它打倒,不要举手投降。
In the moment, I hesitated for a moment,
就在那一刻,我犹豫了一下。
and by the time I put my hand up,
等到我举手的时候……
my hand started to come down, and I felt the sound, I heard a sound that I have never heard in my entire life,
我的手开始往下移动,同时我听到了一个声音——那是一个我这辈子从未听过的声音。
and my tricep part from the bone, and
我的三头肌从骨头上分离出来了……
as soon as I hit it, I knew something was wrong, and I said,
我一碰到它,就知道出问题了,于是立刻说道……
I cannot believe this.
我简直不敢相信这一切。
I said, I cannot believe this, because I know now that 17 years of me playing,
我说:“我简直不敢相信这一切。”因为我现在明白了:我玩这个游戏已经整整17年了……
so I know that this is my last ride, this is my last one,
所以我知道,这次是我最后一次乘坐(这个交通工具)了。
my tricep made nine surgeries,
我的三头肌总共接受了九次手术。
I had nine surgeries throughout my 17 -year crib,
在我那17年漫长的住院治疗期间,我接受了总共9次手术。
but I'm sitting there, and when I pop it, the moment I popped it,
但我就坐在那里,当我打开它(那个东西)的那一刻……
I said, now you got a choice,
我说:“现在你有了一个选择。
and I'm sitting out there with it pop, and all of my players looking at me, and they're like,
我就那么坐在那里,手里拿着那个东西(可能是某种道具或设备),所有的玩家都在看着我,他们一脸疑惑地问:“这到底是什么啊?
you all right, Lou, and I'm like, I'm good, let's go,
你没事吧,Lou?我也挺好的,我们走吧。
but I know I ain't good,
但我知道自己并不擅长(某件事)。
and I know something's functionally not right, something's wrong, because I can feel a burn,
我知道有些地方在功能上出了问题,肯定有什么不对劲的地方……因为我能感觉到一阵灼烧感。
and three more plays after, five more plays after,
又过了三次进攻机会;再过了五次进攻机会……
seven more plays after, I'm still out there fighting with my team,
又进行了七次进攻之后,我依然在场上,与我的队友们一起奋力拼搏。
because it's the fourth quarter, and you can't leave the battlefield, you can leave the battlefield for injury,
因为现在是第四节比赛时间了,而且你不能离开战场;不过如果你受伤了,是可以暂时离开战场的。
not pain,
不是疼痛……
