如果你做了一件很酷的事情,只要把它说出来,就是一个非常好的演讲!(麻麻爸爸)
下来是TED演讲:攀爬3000英尺,不用一根绳子
Hello, I’d like to show you guys 30 seconds of the best day of my life.
大家好,首先,我给大家展示我一生中最美好一天的30秒视频。
So, that was El Capitan in California’s Yosemite National Park, and in case you couldn’t tell, I was climbing by myself without a rope, a style of climbing known as free soloing. That was the culmination of a nearly decade-long dream, and in the video I’m over 2500 feet off the ground. Seems scary? Yeah, it is. Which is why I spent so many years dreaming about soloing El Cap and not actually doing it.
这是加州优胜美地国家公园的酋长岩,如果你没看出来的话,其实我是独自在没有绳子保护的情况下攀岩,这种攀岩方式被称为自由攀岩(也叫徒手攀岩,无保护攀岩)。这是我一个接近十年的梦想,在视频里我离地2500英尺。看起来很可怕是吗?是的,非常可怕。这就是为什么我花了这么多年时间一直梦想着攀登酋长岩。
But on the day that that video was taken, it didn’t feel scary at all. It felt as comfortable and natural as a walk in the park, which is what most folk were doing in Yosemite that day.
但是录视频的那天,我没有感到很可怕。我感到很舒服自在,就像在公园里散步一样,正如在优胜美地游览的游客一样。
Today I’d like to talk about how I was able to feel so comfortable and how I overcame my fear. I’ll start with a very brief version of how I became a climber, and then tell the story of my two significant free solos. They were both sUCCessful, which is why I’m here.
今天我想谈谈我是如何克服恐惧,感觉到舒服自在的。首先我先简短的介绍一下我是怎样成为攀岩运动员,然后讲讲我的两次特殊的自由攀岩。当然两次都很成功,不然今天我也不会站在这里。
But the first felt largely unsatisfying, whereas the second, El Cap, was by far the most fulfillung day of my life. Through these two climbs, you’ll see my process for managing fear.
但第一次我感到很不满意,而第二次,酋长岩,是我迄今为止最满意的一次。通过这两次攀岩,你会了解我是如何克服恐惧的。
So I started climbing in a gym when I was around 10 years old, which means that my life has been centered on climbing for more than 20 years. After nearly a decade of climbing mostly indoors, I made the transition to the outdoors and gradually started free soloing.
我10岁左右就开始在攀岩馆攀岩了,这也意味着我的攀岩生涯已经超过20年了。在10年的室内攀岩之后,我决定走向户外,并逐渐开始了自由攀岩。
