Passage 1
短文1
Most successful people are unorthodox persons whose minds wonder outside traditional ways of thinking.
大多數成功的人都是在正統基礎上進行創新的人，他們的思維超出傳統思維方式的范圍。
Instead of trying to refine old formulas, they invent new ones.
他們沒有嘗試改進舊的方案，而是發明新的方案。
When Jean-Claude Killy made the French national ski team in the early 1960s, he was prepared to work harder than anyone else to be the best.
當讓·克洛德·基利在上世紀60年代初進入法國國家滑雪隊時，他準備比其他任何人都更加努力，從而做到最好。
At the crack of dawn, he would run up the slopes with his skis on, an unbelievably backbreaking activity.
在黎明剛剛來臨時，他就帶著滑雪板跑上山，這是令人難以置信的勞累活動。
In the evening, he would do weightlifting and running. But the other team members were working as hard and long as he was.
晚上，他會舉重和跑步。但是其他團隊成員也像他一樣長時間努力。
He realized instinctively that simply training harder would never be enough.
他本能地意識到，僅僅靠更努力的訓練絕對不夠。
Killy then began challenging the basic theories of racing technique.
然后，基利開始挑戰比賽技術的基本理論。
Each week, he would try something different to see if he could find a better, faster way down the mountain.
每個星期，他都會嘗試不同的方法，看看是否可以找到更好、更快的方法到達山下。
His experiments resulted in a new style that was almost exactly opposite the exact technique of the time.
他的實驗產生了一種新的風格，幾乎與當時的技術完全相反。
It involved skiing with his legs apart for better balance and sitting back on the skis when he came to a turn.
這涉及到在滑雪時兩腿分開，以獲得更好的平衡，轉彎時坐在滑雪板上。
He also used ski poles in an unorthodox way--to propel himself as he skied. The explosive new style helped cut Killy's racing time dramatically.
他還以非正統的方式使用滑雪杖，在滑雪時自我推動。爆炸性的新風格極大地縮短了基利的比賽時間。
In 1966 and 1967, he captured virtually every major skiing trophy.
在1966年和1967年，他奪得了幾乎任何主要滑雪比賽的獎杯。
The next year, he won three gold medals in the Winter Olympics, a record in ski racing that has never been topped.
第二年，他在冬季奧運會上獲得了三枚金牌，這是滑雪比賽中從未被打破的記錄。
Killy learned an important secret shared by many creative people: innovations don't require genius,
基利學會了許多創造性人士共有的重要秘密：創新并不需要天才，
just a willingness to question the way things have always been done.
只是愿意質疑事情通常的完成方式。
