极速一生

直到今天 我依然认为他是最棒的车手
Still today,I say he’s the greatest driver ever.
最大的区别
The biggest difference
1968年4月7日吉姆·克拉克的死
between the death of Jim Clark on the 7th of April,1968,
和1994年5月1日埃尔顿·塞纳的死 两者之间的区别在于
end Ayrton Senna in the 1st of May,1994,
全世界人们想要知道的是
is that the world needed to know the answer
事故发生的原因是什么
as to why this had happened.
这个人为什么会死
Why is this man dead?
赛车为什么会如此危险
Why is motor racing so dangerous?
埃尔顿·塞纳的死讯被电台转播给了
The death of Ayrton Senna was relayed by television
世界上百万的电视观众
into the living rooms of millions of people around the world,
转播给了那些不太了解赛车这项运动
to people who didn’t really know about motor sport,
但知道埃尔顿·塞纳的观众们
but knew of him.
必须得有人负责
Somebody had to be blamed.
国际汽车联合会的新一任主席
The new president of the FIA
在吉姆·克拉克出事的当天到过赛场
had been on the grid the day Jim Clark died.
我认为 让人感到心痛的是很多媒体
I think it’s distressing that so much of the press
都没有了解到事情真实的一面
doesn’t appreciate the realities of the situation.
马♥克♥思♥·莫斯利
Max Mosley had ascended
当选为国际汽车联合会主席
to the ultimate position of power within the sport
几个月后塞纳就去世了
Just months before senna’s death
大家的注意力完全集中在
They were absolutely concentrated on,
塞纳出事的原因上面
why did senna have the crash?
这完全偏离了重心
Totally irrelevant.
赛车是一项挑战人类和汽车极限的运动
It’s a sport done at the limit of human and mechanical ability.
当你进行这项运动时 你就很有可能会出事
When you do that, you’re going to have a crash.
最该关心的问题不是他为什么会出事
The interesting question isn’t why he crashed,
而是他为什么会在事故中丧生
it’s why did he get killed?
莫斯利要求沃特金斯医生
Mosley called on Dr.Watkins
组织一次科学性的检查
to lead a scientific examination
针对赛车这项运动的各个方面
into every aspect of the sport.
马♥克♥思♥·齐尔顿说过
Max had a clear message,
赛车上出现的任何故障
saying that whatever is happening to a car,
都一定会让车手致命
there should be no reason to die in a car.
我记得当我的车飞出去的时候
I remember going up in the air.
我第一反应是
My first thought was,
“千万不要让我飞到树林里去”
“Please don’t let me go in the trees, ”
因为如果你飞了出去 你就会丧命于树林中
because,you fly. you die, into the trees.
接着 车子开始翻滚
Then it starts to roll.
我感觉就像是一个转筒式干燥机或者是一个洗衣机
It feels like being is a tumble dryer, a washing machine.
当车子停下来的时候
When it stopped,
我感觉到有液体流遍了全身
I could feel this liquid running down into my overalls.
我能闻出那是汽油
I could smell fuel,
我想我身上要着火了 我该被烧了
and I thought I was going to catch fire and burn.
这是我们所害怕的
This is what we feared at this corner,
也是最不愿看到的
and that was very nasty indeed!
这是继埃尔顿·塞纳事件之后的第一场大事故
That’s the first big accident since Ayrton Senna,
并且当时全世界都在看着
and the whole world was watching.
那是第一次在比赛时
It was the first race
他们把车手旁靠头的东西升高了一些
where they’d raised the headrests, up beside the driver,
这是因为这一举动 我没有受伤
and that played a big role in me not being injured at all.
他不仅没死而且又回到了赛场上
Not only was he alive, but he got back in the race.
让我很震惊的不仅是他重返赛场
And it struck me then that we’d moved on,
还有一切都发生了改变
that the whole aspect of it had changed.
首先是车手的态度发生了改变
What happened was the attitude changed,
赛纳推动
and Senna gave the impetus
科学地进行安全分♥析♥
to really go into safety on a scientific basis.
在拼速度的赛场上
In an arms race for speed,
幸存的几率是很小的
no expense has been spared for survival.
从来没有害怕过
Never had that fear.
从来没有担心过死亡或者说会受伤
Never been worried about death or the danger of getting hurt.
弯道上时速270公里
270 kilometers an hour through the corners.
不敢相信
Ah,it’s unbelievable.
如果你偶尔往外左右一看
Sometimes if you just look outside,
你会想”我疯了吗”
left and right, you think, am I crazy?
那感觉就像是你掌控了危险
It’s almost like you have control of the danger.
也许那就跟现在发生的很多事故
There’s probably as many accidents today
性质一样
as there was then
但结果却截然不同
but the results of the accidents are completely different.
你在电视上看到那场事故了吗
Have you seen the accident on TV?
是的 我看到他还活着
Well, yeah, I I have seen it also live,
当我到那儿的时候
when I was there! Bat, uh
当今的车手永远体会不到
The modern day driver will never know,
我也希望他们永远不要体会到那种
and I hope and prey that they never find out
被死亡包围的感觉
what it feels like to have the consistency of death surrounding you.
重要的不是牺牲生命去比赛
The idea was not to race and die,
而是让自己能够参加尽可能多的比赛
the idea was to race and to last as long as possible.
毕竟我提到过杰基·斯图尔特
after all I have said about Jackie Stewart,
我非常欣赏他
I really did appreciate what he started.
埃默森和我
Emerson and I have been
今天还讨论过这事
talking about it today, actually.
我们很庆幸还活着
We’re very grateful to be alive,
然后还夺得了那些属于我们的冠军
to have actually won the races we’ve won and driven.
我认为我们都曾做过不可思议的事
I think we all did something unbelievable,
在整个职业生涯中
at the absolute limit of the job.
在我们的生命中
In our days,
我们知道 如果你出了错或者什么东西坏了
we knew if you made a mistake or something broke,
你很有可能会就此遇到麻烦
you had a good chance you wouldn’t get out of it.
所有的车手
All these drivers,
他们都有一个精彩的人生 并且他们都是不可思议的
they had a glamorous life, and they were incredible.
我喜欢赛车 和朋友们在一起感觉很好
I love my sport, and it was awarding to be with my friends.
我每天都摸摸幸运物
I’m knocking on wood every day
希望我会是最幸运的那个
that I was one of the lucky ones that really dodged the bullets.
最后 我们能够利用这些进步
In the end, we were able to use all these develoyments
来真正地革新普通汽车产业的
to literally revolutionize the crash safety
事故安全措施
of the ordinary car industry.
这也就是赛车会如此美妙的原因
That’s why it’s such a fantastic sport.
它是汽车进步的先驱 使得汽车发展越来越快
It pioneers the evolution of the car, and going faster.
但是安全性是首要考虑的因素
But safety’s got to come first.
每天有三千人因为交通事故丧失
Three thousand people get killed every day on the roads worldwide.
每天做出1%的改变
To make a one per cent difference,
即便是1%也意味着每天30人可以幸免于难
even one per cent, is 30 people a day.
真的 这证明了
Really, that alone justifies everything
源自一级方程式的所有事情
that’s come from Formula One.
但是 人们常常被过去的时光困扰着
But, you see, one’s always haunted by the past.
马♥克♥思♥认为每个人都应该活到100岁
Max believes everyone should live to a hundred.
实际上 我不喜欢回忆过去
I don’t look back,actually.
我喜欢展望未来 昨天已经过去
I look forward. Yesterday’s yesterday.
呜 呼 呼 呼
Whoo hoo hoo hoo!
我们是世界冠军 世界冠军
We are world champions! World shampions!
噢 马克·韦伯在那儿
Oh,no! Mark Webber’s gone right up there!
马克·韦伯冲到了最前面
Oh! Mark Webber’s gone completely over the top there.
这一切都让人感觉很奇怪而且不真实
All this feels strange and untrue
我不想浪费每一个
And I won’t waste a minute
没有你的瞬间
Without you
