My favorite movie of all-time is Cool Runnings. It is loosely based on the true story about the 1988 Jamaican Bobsled team who competed in the Calgary Winter Olympics.

我一直以來(lái)最喜愛的電影是《涼爽的跑道》。它基本上根據(jù)1988年牙買加雪橇隊(duì)參加卡爾加里冬奧會(huì)的故事改編的。

I loved it as a 12 year old kid, and always kept it as my favorite movie.

當(dāng)我還是12歲的小孩子的時(shí)候我就喜歡這部電影，而且一直把它當(dāng)做我最喜愛的電影。

It is silly, but also inspirational.

這很蠢，但是很鼓舞人心。

When I watch the movie now, I look at it at a much deeper level.

現(xiàn)在當(dāng)我觀看這部電影的時(shí)候，我看得是更深層的東西。

Here’s what I mean. After they qualify for the Olympics, they get three runs, on three separate days.

我的意思是。他們獲得奧運(yùn)資格之后，他們分別在三天有三場(chǎng)比賽。

The first run is a disaster, the second run is incredible, and the third one is when they crash.

第一場(chǎng)是場(chǎng)災(zāi)難，第二場(chǎng)不可思議，第三場(chǎng)比賽他們墜落。

I am going to break these runs down for you and compare them to everyday life.

我將把這三場(chǎng)比賽為你們分開來(lái)講述，并把它們和我們的生活做個(gè)對(duì)比。

The driver of the 4-Man sled was obsessed with watching the Swiss team practice and compete.

四人雪橇的隊(duì)長(zhǎng)癡迷于觀看瑞士隊(duì)的訓(xùn)練和比賽。

Before the Jamaican’s first run, they copied the Swiss’ team style and technique and they weren’t true to themselves. Their first run was a bust, and they ended up in last place after the first day.

牙買加隊(duì)的第一場(chǎng)比賽之前，他們復(fù)制了瑞士隊(duì)的訓(xùn)練方式和技巧，他們沒有忠于自己的風(fēng)格。第一場(chǎng)比賽下來(lái)他們輸慘了，第一天的比賽結(jié)束后他們排名倒水第一。

After some reflection and pep talks, the team went back to their roots. They were true to themselves, and they were 100% prepared for the second run. Everything clicked and they moved into 8th place.

一些反思和鼓舞之后，牙買加隊(duì)回歸他們的戰(zhàn)術(shù)，忠于自己的風(fēng)格，并且全力以赴準(zhǔn)備第二場(chǎng)比賽。所有的努力都奏效了，他們擠進(jìn)了前八名。

The final run they once again were true to themselves. They were pumped up, and more than prepared. Their starting push time was incredible and the announcer even went as far as calling them “champs” during that run.

最后一場(chǎng)比賽他們也一樣忠于自己。他們熱切期盼著，而且準(zhǔn)備得更加充分。開始的一段他們表現(xiàn)得十分出色，觀眾們甚至大喊著稱他們?yōu)椤肮谲姟?。

Unfortunately, that rickety old sled they used couldn’t hold up and they crashed. Everyone knows what happened next. They picked up the sled and finished the race.

不幸的是，他們搖搖晃晃的舊雪橇沒能撐住，他們墜落了。接下來(lái)發(fā)生的事大家都清楚。他們撿起雪橇，完成了比賽。

Now, why am I breaking down Cool Runnings? I think you can use the three runs they had and can make them relate to your lives.

所以，為什么我把《涼爽的跑道》分開了？我認(rèn)為他們的這三段比賽有所啟示，而且可以讓它們和你的生活聯(lián)系起來(lái)。

You can be like the first run and try to be someone else. You can be jealous of other people. You can go off course and not be true to yourself.

你可能像第一場(chǎng)比賽一樣，嘗試成為其他人。你可能嫉妒別人。你可能偏離軌道變得不像你自己了。

And like that last place run by the Jamaican team, you may also see yourself finishing in last.

就像牙買加隊(duì)拿了倒數(shù)第一一樣，你可能也看到自己拿了倒數(shù)第一。

You won’t be happy when you look at yourself in the mirror, because you aren’t being true to who you are.

當(dāng)你看著鏡子里的自己，你也會(huì)不開心，因?yàn)槟銢]有做你自己。

You can be like the second run and be true to yourself. God gives us all so many special and unique gifts.

你可能像第二場(chǎng)比賽一樣忠于自己。上帝賜予我們每個(gè)人許多特別二獨(dú)一無(wú)二的禮物。

Whether it’s the gift of kindness or being understanding, the gift of humor, or just being a loyal friend, we all have something that makes us who we are.

無(wú)論是不是善意的禮物，無(wú)論是否被理解，像幽默感，或者只是作為他人忠實(shí)的朋友，我們都有一些與眾不同的東西使我們成為我們自己。

When you realize what you can offer, it is important to use our gifts for good. When you do this, you will see the fruits of your labor.

當(dāng)你意識(shí)到你可以給予什么，用這些禮物去行善很重要。當(dāng)你這樣做了，你就會(huì)看到你因付出得到的收獲。

The third run is the true reality of life.

第三場(chǎng)比賽好比現(xiàn)實(shí)生活。

Sometimes you can be prepared. Sometimes you can go into a situation or relationship with all of the best intentions in the world.

有時(shí)候你有所準(zhǔn)備，有時(shí)候你可能處于世界上最順利的境遇之下或者最有希望的一段關(guān)系之中。

Sometimes you can be the best “you” possible, but something will still go wrong. That is life.

有時(shí)候你是所能做到的最好的“你”，但是有時(shí)候仍然會(huì)出問題。這就是人生。

However, just like those four Jamaicans who crashed the sled, you can get up and finish the race. Always finish the race.

然而，就像那四個(gè)墜落雪橇的牙買加人，你可以爬起來(lái)完成比賽。永不放棄。
