And looking back,I still stand by all the things I've been saying for years about the importance of goals and determination and self-belief,but I'll also admit that I hadn't given much thought to what happens,when you reach the all-consuming goal that you've dedicated most of your adult life to,and the reality is that I'm still figuring that bit out.
回首往事，我依然支持我數(shù)年來(lái)所說(shuō)的有關(guān)目標(biāo)，決心，及自信的重要性，但我也承認(rèn)我并未充分考慮，當(dāng)你完成所有預(yù)定目標(biāo)時(shí)會(huì)發(fā)生的事這些目標(biāo)是你成人生活中為之貢獻(xiàn)一生的，現(xiàn)實(shí)就是，我還在想要闡明它。

That I'm standing here telling this story is proof that we all can accomplish great things,through ambition, through passion,through sheer stubbornness,by refusing to quit,that if you dream something hard enough, as Sting said,it does indeed come to pass.
我站在這兒講這個(gè)故事的原因就是，為了證明我們都能完成偉大的事情。通過(guò)雄心，通過(guò)激情，通過(guò)傲慢，固執(zhí)，通過(guò)拒絕離開(kāi)，如果你夢(mèng)想的事足夠艱難，正如斯蒂芬說(shuō)過(guò)的，它確然能實(shí)現(xiàn)。

The closer I got to my finish line,that rubbly, rocky coast of Ross Island,the more I started to realize that the biggest lesson,that this very long, very hard walk might be teaching me，is that happiness is not a finish line, that for us humans, the perfection that so many of us seem to dream of might not ever be truly attainable,and that if we can't feel content here, today, now, on our journeys amidst the mess and the striving that we all inhabit,the open loops, the half-finished to-do lists,the could-do-better-next-times,then we might never feel it.
我越靠近我的終點(diǎn)線，羅斯群島粗陋的海岸，我越發(fā)開(kāi)始意識(shí)到這次很長(zhǎng)，很難的徒步，帶給我的最大教訓(xùn)，那就是對(duì)我們?nèi)祟?lèi)來(lái)說(shuō)，幸福不是終點(diǎn)線，我們?cè)S多人所夢(mèng)想的完美也許遙不可及。如果我們不能在此時(shí)，此地，此行中感到知足，承認(rèn)我們繼承的混亂與無(wú)序，打開(kāi)的屋頂完成一半的清單，也許下次會(huì)更好的想法，那我們可能永遠(yuǎn)感受不到它。
