英语PK台 第83期:挑战生命极限(2)

听力文本如下：

大明: 何亚君，今天我们以5小时16分58秒的净时间完成了你的首个全程马拉松，感觉怎么样？

He Yajun, we’ve just completed your first full marathon in 5 hours, 16 minutes, and 58 seconds. How does it feel?

何亚君：非常兴奋, 在你们的帮助下，我终于完成了我的马拉松之梦，这让我看到了光明！感谢大家对我们这些盲人的帮助。

I’m thrilled! With your help, I finally had my dream of running a marathon come true. I can see the light! Thank you everyone so much for helping¹ us blind people out.

大明：别客气，经过5个月的训练，我们终于圆满完成了任务。其实，我把帮助你完成全程马拉松也作为我2015年的一个愿望，我还把这个愿望发给了英语PK台节目组， 这个愿望终于实现啦, 此刻我也很开心。

You’re welcome. After 5 months of training, we finally did it. To be honest, I made helping you finish a whole marathon one of my new year’s resolutions for 2015, I even told the English learning² program GFG, that it was one of my resolutions. I finally managed to make it happen. I’m so happy right now.

何亚君:谢谢你，大明，另外也要恭喜你。

Thanks, Daming. And I should congratulate you too.

大明：谢谢，帮助你其实也是在帮我自己啊, 和你一起训练，让我更加深刻地感受到了信念和勇气的巨大能量，你现在身体感觉怎么样？

Thanks. By helping you, I helped myself. By training with you, I felt a deeper sense of conviction³ and courage. How’s your body feel right now?

何亚君：最为一个盲人，我只是想挑战我自己，而我最为自己感到骄傲的是，我从不把自己当盲人，我认为我们生活的心态很重要。我需要继续走一会，我的背有点不舒服。

As a blind man, I just want to challenge myself. The thing that I’m most proud of is the fact that I never think of myself as a blind man. I think our attitude in life is extremely important. I need to keep walking for a little bit because my back’s killing⁴ me.

大明：放松！进行深呼吸试试。

Take it easy! Try to take some deep breaths.

何亚君：现在好了。其实我今天还是有些遗憾的，因为我们还可以跑得更快一些，马拉松是个很吸引人的运动，你真的会上瘾的，也许明年我会做得更好。

I’m okay now. To be honest, it’s ashamed that we didn’t run a little faster today. Marathons are really appealing and you can really get addicted⁵ to them. Maybe I’ll do better next year.

大明：是啊！不过，我们还是在终点关门之前完成了比赛。今天很多媒体都在采访你啊，你像一个明星，不过，你就是今天的明星！

Yeah, but we still finished before the last gate closed. You were interviewed a lot by the media today. You’re like a celebrity⁶. But actually, you are a celebrity today!

何亚君：谢谢。 对了，今天的体力好主要是昨晚的“意大利面之夜”提供了充足的能量啊！否则真不知道能不能撑下来。

Thanks. Anyways, our body was in good shape today because of the “pasta night” last night which gave us a lot of energy. Otherwise I don’t know if I would’ve been able to handle it.

大明：你喜欢就好。接下来，你还有什么挑战计划吗？

I’m glad you enjoyed it. What’s your next plan to challenge yourself?

何亚君：我还想去看大海、想继续参加北京马松、还想去马拉松的发源地希腊跑一次马拉松。

I wanna see the sea, keep competing in Beijing marathons, and even run a marathon in the marathon birthplace: Greece.

大明：我真的很佩服你，你真是个勇敢的人。向着你的梦想出发吧, 兄弟。加油！

I really admire you. You are such a brave man. Go chase⁷ your dream, bro. You can do it!

何亚君：谢谢我的朋友们，没有你们的爱与耐心相助，我无论如何也无法完成梦想！你们才是最棒的！

Thank you all my dear friends. Without your love and patience, there’s no way I would’ve been able to make my dream come true! You guys are the best!
