打败心中的假想敌 全力以赴去尝试
[ti:www.pronounceword.com] [ar:] [by:www.pronounceword.com] [00:01.63]26 The Try-athlon 勇于尝试者三项 [00:06.86](By Heather Klassen) (译 / 李珏) [00:09.42]Out of my way, short stuff. “闪开,小矮子。 [00:11.60]I have to train! 我得去训练了!” [00:13.47]Addie braced herself against the kitchen counter as her older sister,Miranda, blew by, just a blur of motion in a swimsuit, bike helmet , and running shoes.艾迪靠着橱柜,她的姐姐米兰达一阵风似地闪过。艾迪只看到了她穿着泳衣和跑鞋、戴着自行车头盔的模糊人影。 [00:23.40]As the back door slammed behind Miranda, Addie's father appeared in the kitchen. 后门在米兰达身后砰的一声关上了。艾迪的爸爸来到了厨房。 [00:28.73]Is your sister going to train for her triathlon ? he asked. “你姐姐又去练铁人三项了?”他问。 [00:32.78]Addie shrugged. 艾迪耸耸肩, [00:34.00]"I guess," she replied. 回答说:“我想是吧。” [00:36.11]Addie certainly didn't keep track of Miranda's schedule. 她确实没有对米兰达的作息安排了若指掌。 [00:39.75]Miranda had always been annoying, but since she had started training for the triathlon, she was even worse. 米兰达一直很烦人,但是自从开始铁人三项训练以后,她更是讨厌得要死。 [00:45.86]Miranda thinks she's so great just because she's doing that triathlon, Addie couldn't stop herself from blurting out. “米兰达以为自己练铁人三项就了不起了。”艾迪不禁脱口而出。 [00:53.69]Well, Addie, why don't you do it, too? her father asked. “那么,艾迪你也去试试怎么样?”爸爸问。 [00:57.69]Addie stared at him. 艾迪盯着他: [00:59.04]"Me? Do a triathlon?" Miranda had trained and trained for this race for months. “我?铁人三项?”米兰达已经为这项比赛一遍又一遍地训练了好几个月了, [01:04.56]"How could I do that?" “我时间不够了呀。” [01:06.06]Can you swim? her father asked. “你会游泳吗?”爸爸问。 [01:08.70]Addie laughed. 艾迪笑了: [01:10.07]"Of course I can." Addie swam every afternoon, chasing her friends and racing them across the pool. “我当然会。”每天下午,她都在泳池里和伙伴们比赛,追着他们嬉戏。 [01:16.16]Can you run? “你会跑步吗?” [01:17.33]Sure, Addie replied. “当然会了。”艾迪回答。 [01:19.47]Every evening after dinner, Addie ran outside to meet her friends. 每天晚饭后她都跑到外面去见朋友。 [01:23.05]They ran while they played tag and kickball. 他们玩捉人游戏或是踢球时,总是跑来跑去的。 [01:26.50]Can you bike? her father asked. “你会骑自行车吗?”爸爸又问。 [01:29.17]Dad! Addie exclaimed. “爸爸!”艾迪喊起来, [01:30.62]"You know I can bike! I keep you company every morning while you bike on the trail for exercise." “你知道我会骑自行车的。每天早晨你在乡间小路上骑车锻炼我都陪着你啊。” [01:36.35]So look, her father said, pushing the triathlon informational flyer across the counter toward her. “所以你看,”爸爸边说边把桌上的铁人三项比赛宣传单推到她这边, [01:43.26]"For your age group, the distances are just half of Miranda's age group. “你的年龄组的比赛距离不过是米兰达那组的一半。 [01:47.25]A 100-yard swim in the lake; that's like four times across the pool. 在湖里游100码(编注:约91.4米)也就相当于在泳池里游两个来回。 [01:51.90]A three-mile bike ride; that's less than the distance we go every morning. 三英里骑行比我们每天早晨骑车的距离短多了。 [01:56.33]And a one-mile run is only four times around the high school track. 还有,一英里的赛跑不过是学校跑道上跑四圈的距离。 [02:00.76]You could easily do this." 这些对你来说都很容易。” [02:02.60]Addie didn't feel quite as certain about that as her father did. 艾迪并不像爸爸那样有把握。 [02:06.46]She thought about the triathlon all afternoon while she swam in the pool and all evening while she ran around outside with her friends. 下午她去游泳时一直想着铁人三项的事,晚上跑去和朋友们玩耍时也一直琢磨是否要参加。 [02:14.43]Before bed, Addie bumped into Miranda in the hallway. 睡觉前,艾迪在走廊里碰见了米兰达。 [02:18.62]Boy, am I beat, Miranda said, stretching and yawning .“好家伙,我累惨了,”米兰达伸着懒腰,打着哈欠, [02:22.65]"All this training is really wearing me out . “这些训练可真把我累得够呛。” [02:25.25]Addie rolled her eyes at Miranda and headed to her room. 艾迪冲米兰达翻了个白眼,然后走向自己的房间。 [02:28.79]While Addie and her father cycled along the bike trail the next morning, Addie thought about the triathlon. 第二天早晨,艾迪和爸爸沿着自行车道骑行时,心里还想着铁人三项比赛。 [02:36.13]Maybe I wouldn't even have to train that much, Addie thought. 她想,或许我根本不用训练那么久, [02:40.15]Swimming, biking, and running are things I do every day. 毕竟游泳、骑车和跑步是我每天都做的。 [02:43.48]As she and her dad wheeled into the drive way, Addie made her decision. 当她和爸爸骑到车道上时,艾迪下定了决心。 [02:48.44]I want to try the triathlon, Dad, Addie said. “我想试试参加铁人三项比赛,爸爸,”艾迪说, [02:51.70]"But don't tell Miranda, OK?" “不过别告诉米兰达,好吗?” [02:53.74]That's great, Addie, said Dad. “太好了,艾迪,”爸爸说, [02:56.03]"And don't worry; it'll be our secret." “别担心,这是我们俩的小秘密。” [02:58.65]I don't want Miranda bugging me about it, Addie thought, because I'm sure I won't win. 艾迪想,我可不想米兰达因为这事儿来烦我,因为我肯定不会赢, [03:04.09]But I know I can try. 但是我会全力以赴的。 [03:05.78]Addie swam, biked, and ran a little more than usual the next two weeks to get ready. 接下来的两周,艾迪游泳、骑车和跑步的距离都比平常多了点, 以此为比赛做准备。 [03:11.27]The morning of the triathlon dawned cool and clear. 铁人三项比赛的那天早晨,天亮后天气晴朗凉爽。 [03:15.32]Addie and her father left after Miranda and biked over to the high school. 艾迪和爸爸等米兰达离开后,才骑车去了学校。 [03:20.00]The triathlon would begin at the lake, then continue on the bike trail, and finish on the track. 比赛将从湖边开始,然后上自行车赛道,最后在跑道上结束。 [03:26.50]Addie's stomach lurched when she saw the hordes of kids clustered on the lake shore. 艾迪看到湖边聚集了成群的孩子,心里有点打鼓。 [03:31.94]I can do this, she coached herself as she moved toward the water's edge. 她一边向湖边走,一边给自己打气:我可以的。 [03:37.27]Short stuff! Suddenly Miranda stood right in front of her. “小矮子!”米兰达突然站到了她面前, [03:41.00]"What are you doing here?" “你来这里干什么?” [03:42.24]I'm going to do the triathlon, Addie told her sister. “我要参加铁人三项比赛,”艾迪对姐姐说, [03:46.36]"Or at least I'm going to try.“至少我要去试试。 [03:48.41]I figure that's why they call it a triathlon, because all you have to do is try." 我明白了铁人三项之所以被称为铁人三项,是因为你所需要做的就是去尝试(编注:铁人三项中的tri-与try同音)。” [03:53.83]Addie waited for her sister to say something snide or snarky .Instead, Miranda smiled. 艾迪等着姐姐说一些讽刺或刻薄的话,但是恰恰相反,米兰达脸上露出了微笑。 [03:59.95]I'm so glad you're doing this, Miranda said. “我真高兴你来参加比赛,”米兰达说, [04:03.06]"I wanted you to all along, but I knew if I suggested it, you never would." “我一直都想让你参加比赛,但是我知道,如果我建议你参加的话,你是坚决不会参加的。” [04:07.51]Addie stared at her sister.艾迪睁大眼睛看着她。 [04:09.86]"So that's why you acted so great about training and everything?" she asked.“所以你才将训练和所有的一切都表现得那么了不起?”她问道, [04:14.28]"You figured I might try if you acted like I couldn't do it?" “你知道只要对我使用激将法,我就一定会尝试?” [04:17.87]Exactly. “没错。” [04:19.20]Then Miranda did the most surprising thing of all. 米兰达接下来的举动令艾迪大吃一惊。 [04:22.32]She reached over and hugged Addie. "Now hurry," she said. 她伸出双臂拥抱了艾迪,说:“快去。 [04:26.05]"Your age group's up for the swim."你们年龄组的游泳比赛马上就要开始了。” [04:28.60]Still stunned by her encounter with her surprising sister, Addie positioned herself next to the other kids at the edge of the lake, 艾迪还没从碰到一反常态的姐姐的惊讶中缓过来,就已经站到了湖边参赛的那些孩子身旁, [04:36.40]ready to try her best in her first, and maybe not last, "try-athlon".准备起跳游泳。她要在她的第一场,而且不会是最后一场的“勇于尝试者三项比赛”中全力以赴。
