I suffered from tendinitis on my shoulders and saltwater sores on my bottom. 肩部的腱鞘炎让我十分痛苦，海水也杀的臀部非常疼。

　　I really struggled psychologically, totally overwhelmed by the scale of the challenge,  我在心理上也非常挣扎过，完全是因为挑战的规模之大击垮了我，

　　realizing that, if I carried on moving at two miles an hour, 3,000 miles was going to take me a very, very long time. 我意识到，如果我按照每小时2英里的速度划行，3000英里会让我划行很长很长时间。

　　There were so many times when I thought I'd hit that limit,  好几次，我都觉得自己已经达到了极限，

　　but had no choice but to just carry on and try and figure out how I was going to get to the other side without driving myself crazy. 但我没有别的选择，只有一路向前，我必须努力克制自己，好让自己能够知道如何前行，达到彼岸。

　　And eventually after 103 days at sea, I arrived in Antigua.  最终，在海上航行了103天以后，我终于抵达了安提瓜。

　　I don't think I've ever felt so happy in my entire life. 在我整个人生里，我从没这么高兴过。

　　It was a bit like finishing a marathon and getting out of solitary confinement and winning an Oscar all rolled into one. 这有点像把完成了马拉松、走出禁闭室，以及赢得了奥斯卡的感觉合在一起的感觉。

　　I was euphoric. And to see all the people coming out to greet me and standing along the cliff tops and clapping and cheering,  那一刻，我心潮澎湃。所有的人都跑过来向我问候，人们站在悬崖顶上鼓掌和唤呼，

　　I just felt like a movie star. It was absolutely wonderful.  我觉得自己像电影明星。那感觉简直太棒了。

　　And I really learned then that, the bigger the challenge, the bigger the sense of achievement when you get to the end of it. 我也确实明白了一个道理，困难越大，往往最终获得的成就感就越大。
