我记得有一张照片 是大猩猩在泥炭沼泽地上涉水而行

去这样的地方 是我一辈子的梦想 我成功做到了

这件事点燃了我内心的火焰

我知道我需要走人迹罕至的路

我想一辈子都过自♥由♥潜水的生活
I wanted free diving to be my life.
所以 尽管四年 对我来说是很长的一段时间
So even though I saw four years as a really long time,
我还是决定：“好 加油 继续练吧”
I said, “Okay. Come on, let’s keep doing this.”
换做是其他人 大家都会说：“行吧”
Plenty of others would have said, “Okay.”
“那我换一项运动吧”
“I’ll do something else.”
她可不是这样 她还是坚持了下去
But not her. She carried on regardless.
她继续去泳池里训练

去海里练习
to the sea.
然后你就意识到 有一股力量在推着她向前走

她18岁那年…

就像一颗流星一样 横空出世

如果你想要做第一名
If you want to be the best
但你却总是拿银牌
and you always take silver medal…
那一定会让你很难受

当有另一个人比你更强时

这也会成为另一个激励因素

对我来说 看了纳塔利娅的视频 我才意识到要如何才能取得成功
For me, it took watching Natalia’s videos to realize how I could get there.
我想给出的建议是
My advice is that mental relaxation

如果想要在水下取得成功

就必须要放松 而不是朝着某个目标去奔跑

This result was always written.
她在自♥由♥潜水方面有着某种超能力

他内心充满矛盾 他很痛苦

他说：“不知道我是否应该 开始做我的朋友们在做的那些事？”

“我有什么应该做却没做的事？”
“What am I not doing that I should be doing?”
“我像这样生活究竟对不对？”
“Am I right living my life the way I am?”
他有一次问我
He asked me once
我是不是对他感到失望
if I was disappointed in him.
像这样在全世界游荡
Wandering around the world like this,
搜寻着某种连他自己都说不清的东西
searching for something that he couldn’t put his finger on.
我在想我的家人和朋友
Been thinking about family, my friends.
毫无疑问 这是我人生的最低谷

是我这辈子最糟糕的一段时间

明天见吧
until tomorrow.
