涉足荒野

(shèzú huānɡyě)

1. I'm sorry that you have to walk a thousand miles just to finish that sentence.

我很抱歉让你走几千英里就为了说完这句话。

(wǒ hěn bàoqiàn rànɡ nǐ zǒu jǐqiān yīnɡlǐ jiù wéile shuōwán zhè jù huà.)

2. I like talking to people, listening to people. Funny, that's a hobby, one I hadn't even realized I had until I decided to walk on my own through the desert.

我喜欢跟人说话,也喜欢听别人说话。有意思的是,我从未意识到我有这个爱好,直到我决定独自穿越沙漠。

(wǒ xǐhuān ɡēnrén shuōhuà, yě xǐhuān tīnɡbiérén shuōhuà. yǒu yìsi de shì, wǒ cónɡwèi yìshì dào wǒ yǒu zhèɡè àihǎo, zhídào wǒ juédìnɡ dúzì chuānyuè shāmò.)

3. I thought over and over again for everything that the trail had taught me and everything I couldn't yet know.

我曾经一遍又一遍地思考所有徒步旅行曾教我的东西以及我还不知道的事。

(wǒ cénɡjīnɡ yíbiàn yòu yíbiàn de sīkǎo suǒyǒu túbù lǚxínɡ cénɡ jiāo wǒ de dōnɡxī yǐjí wǒ hái bù zhīdào de shì.)

4. I knew only that I didn't need to reach with my bare hands anymore, that seeing the fish beneath the surface of the water. That was everything.

我只知道我再也不用一个人面对了。就像鱼在水中就够了,那就是一切。

(wǒ zhǐ zhīdào wǒ zàiyě búyònɡ yīɡèrén miànduì le. jiùxiànɡ yú zài shuǐ zhōnɡ jiù ɡòu le, nà jiùshì yíqiè.)
