I think of countless birthday parties and nights out I have missed, ruining a family holiday in France because of the endless search for a swimming pool to train in, almost missing my brother’s wedding because I was too busy hiring a car in downtown Johannesburg and driving through the “no-go” areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes. The list is endless.
我想到了曾经错过的无数生日派对和本来可以外出狂欢的夜晚;因为一直寻找可以训练的游泳池,而破坏了一次去法国的全家旅行;为了和当地的铁人三项运动员一起骑行训练,我忙着在约翰内斯堡市中心租车,开车闯过“禁行”区,差点错过哥哥的婚礼。这样的事情不计其数。

为了
It boils down to this: I was born with an enormous amount of drive and determination. From a small girl, I would stay in at lunch time just to get ahead on class work rather than go out and play; I would get the bus on my own at ten years old and go to swim 100 lengths of the pool while other kids played pool games;
归根结底:我天生就是个特别有干劲儿和意志力的人。我还是个小女孩时,为了在课业上名列前茅,午餐时间我会留下来学习而不出去玩。十岁的时候,我会自己坐公共汽车去游泳池游50个来回,而其他孩子在游泳池里嬉戏;

I was the only girl in a rugby club of 250 boys. I have always lived my life to extremes. Call it unhealthy if you want, but that is the way I roll, no matter what it is I’m applying myself to.
橄榄球俱乐部里,我是250个男孩中唯一的女孩。生活中我一向把事情做到极致。你若说这是一种病态也行,但这就是我的做事风格,不管做什么我都会全力以赴。

定语从句
Can this be overdone Absolutely. But if your dream is to be the best and reach the winner’s platform, you had better be totally committed to your sport. In the words of the British triathlete Alistair Brownlee, even if it means getting injured, “I’d prefer to have three or four outstanding years of winning stuff than having ten years of being average.”
这过分吗?当然。但如果梦想成为最棒的并站上胜利者的奖台,你最好全身心致力于运动项目中。用英国铁人三项运动员阿利斯特尔·布朗利的话来说,即使这意味着受伤,“我宁愿有三到四年的胜利辉煌,而不选择十年的平庸无为。”

Doing what we do as athletes sets us apart because we are willing to do that extra little bit [that might take us to the top]. It is certainly not a balanced way to live and it is certainly not normal but those words are generally not used for anyone [who is striving for greatness.]
做运动员让我们与众不同,因为我们愿意做到那额外的一点点,这可能让我们走向顶峰。它当然不是一种平衡的生活方式,也肯定不寻常,但寻常、平衡这些词是不会用来形容追求伟大的人的。
