车手之间的不同可能就在于
The difference between drivers is maybe
夺冠欲望的强烈程度不同
the quantity of desire you have to win races,
因为其他客观因素都是一样的
because the talents are equal.
其中包括天气状况
That includes whatever the weather is
参赛时间
when you’re at the race course.
蒙扎 斯帕 摩纳哥
Monza, Spa, Monaco,
这些都是非常有名的赛道
they were quite famous tracks.
但其中一个赛道对车手的技术要求很高
But one was reckoned as a symbol of pure driving.
对车手来说它是最高的挑战

在德国艾弗尔山下
In the shadow of Germany’s Eifel mountains
有一条长达22公里的让人胆战心惊的赛道
lies a monstrous race track, 22 kilometers around.
168个弯道
168 corners.
同时还有17个坡道
At the time, 17 jumps.
所以你会在纽博格林赛道上飞跃17次
So you were flying 17 times at the Nurburgring.
一旦赛车冲出了赛道就会立马消失不见
If a car went off the road, you never saw it.
因为它已经被树木和灌木林掩盖了
It just disappeared into the trees or the bushes,
或者是掉进了山谷
or down a ravine.
希♥特♥勒♥曾称它为绝望赛道
Hitler built it is the Depression.
这个赛道是最具挑战性 最有价值
It is the most challenging, the most rewarding,
最危险
the most dangerous,
同时也是世界上最大的赛道
the greatest recetrack to the world.
要想在纽博格林赛道上获胜
To win at the Nurburgring,
你就得豁出命来
that means that’s the race of your life.

开始
One.
我转过一个弯道

我站在车顶
I was on top of the car,
抓住尼基的肩膀
and I grabbed Niki’s shoulders
将他从车里拖了出来
and pulled him out of the car.
最终 劳拉被拖出了
Lauda is finally dragged clear
火堆
from the burning inferno.
赛事因此被暂停
The race of course is stopped.
我记得他当时问我说
I remember him saying to me,
“我的脸怎么样了 我的脸怎么样了”
“What’s my face like? What’s my face like?”
事实上 他并不知道自己已经吸入了
In fact, he didn’t know he’d ingested
大量的有毒热气
a lot of toxic fumes
这些毒气是车身上的树脂 玻璃纤维
from the burning resin and fiberglass
燃烧产生的
of the bodywork of the car.
人们都已经为他执行了临终祈祷仪式
People were already talking about him to tire past tense.
我们也断定 只要打开电台
We were both certain that when we turned the radio on,
我们就能听到早间新闻播报他逝世的消息
we’d hear the morning news saying he was dead.
我不能说话 只能听着
I couldn’t see anything. I was just listening.
必须呆在医院
Must have been in the hospital.
我的妻子来到我所在的病房♥
My wife came into the room where I was lying,
然后她就开始哭
and, uh, she started crying, so
这对没有任何帮助
which didn’t certainly help me.
事后我问她
I told her afterwards,
“为什么你去看我的时候要哭呢”
“Listen,why did you cry when when you come in?
“这让我感觉很糟糕”
“Because I felt bad.”
“非常不幸”
She said, “Unfortunately,
“除了脚 其他地方都已经无法辨别了”
“I only recognized you on your feet.”
因为我被烧得很厉害 包括头部以及身体的各个地方
Because I was burned so bad, in my head and everywhere,
这让她非常震惊
that she had a shock.
那时候 这还真是个问题
And that was the real issue at the time,
“我一定要努力活下去”
so I thought, “Shit, I must fight now to stay alive.”
五周之后
Five weeks Later,
我又开着赛车回到了蒙扎赛道上
I was back in the car in Monza.
尼基沿着维修道
Niki walked down the pit lane
朝我这边走来
to where my team was,
“布雷特 谢谢你”
and he said, “Brett,thank you.”
接着就离开了
And then walked away.
我很清楚正将自己置于怎样的危险中
I knew the risk I was getting myself into.
最简单的复出方式就是尽可能地加快速度
The easy way back is to drive as quick as possible.
别犹豫

很高兴看到他在前面

背水一战
Back against the wall,
詹姆斯·亨特突出重围 获得了两场大奖赛的胜利
James Hunt went out and he won these two races
凭借的是他坚定的信念和顽强的毅力
through just sheer determination and grit,
但是尼基 劳达也创造了一些奇迹
but there was something magical about what Niki Lauda was doing.
他是一个强有力的对手
Ha was a very tough competitor ,
但是大部分人都对他的清醒度表示怀疑
but most people questioned his sanity.
那场事故给他增添了几分魅力
That accident gave him charisma.
他们那群人变得
They became
我讨厌去想一个词来形容他们
I hate to think what sort of buddies they became.
就像一群纨绔子弟一样 懂我的意思吧
Like playboys together, if you know what I mean.
