笨拙的第一周

字幕原文

The first week of learning anything is always rough, 学任何新东西，第一周总是很难熬的，

and I have to remind myself of that every single time. 每次我都得反反复复提醒自己这一点。

I started learning to swim properly a few weeks ago, 几周前我开始正经学游泳，

and honestly, the first few lessons were a disaster. 说实话，刚开始那几节课简直是一场灾难。

I couldn't breathe right, I swallowed half the pool, 换气总是不对，喝了大半池子的水，

and my body just refused to cooperate. 身体也根本不听使唤。

Every part of me wanted to decide 我浑身上下都在打退堂鼓，觉得

that I was simply not a swimmer. 自己根本就不是游泳的料。

But I've learned that the first week always feels like this. 但我后来明白，第一周向来都是这种感觉。

It's supposed to. 本来就该这样。

Your brain and body haven't caught up yet. 你的大脑和身体都还没跟上节奏呢。

The people who get good at things aren't the ones with talent. 那些真正把事情做好的人，靠的并不是天赋。

They're just the ones who survived 他们只是咬牙熬过了

that ugly first week and showed up for the second. 那段狼狈的第一周，并且在第二周继续硬着头皮出现的人。

So now I try to expect the mess. 所以现在，我都提前做好了开头会一团糟的心理准备。
