皮划艇翻船

字幕原文

The first time I got into a kayak, 我第一次坐进皮划艇时，

I flipped it within about ten seconds. 大概十秒钟就翻船了。

I went straight into the cold water, came up gasping, 我直接栽进冰冷的水里，浮上来时大口喘着粗气，

and everyone on the shore had a good laugh. 岸上的人全都笑翻了。

I could have been embarrassed enough to never try again. 我本可能尴尬得再也不想碰它了。

But once I climbed back in and actually got moving, 但当我重新爬上去、真正划动起来后，

I understood why people love it. 我才明白大家为什么这么喜欢它。

Out on the water, everything gets quiet. 划到水面上，一切都安静了下来。

It's just you, the paddle, 只有你，手里的桨，

and the sound of it dipping in and out. 以及桨叶划入又带出水面的声音。

The city, the noise, the phone in a dry bag, 城市、喧闹，还有防水袋里的手机，

all of it feels a hundred miles away. 感觉全都离我有十万八千里远。

I still tip over sometimes. 我现在有时还是会翻船。

But now, falling in is just part of the fun. 但现在，掉进水里只是乐趣的一部分。

Some of the best things are on the other 很多最美好的事情，往往就在

side of looking a little foolish first. 不怕先出点洋相的另一头。
