每日口說挑戰跑酷讓我戰勝恐懼！ (I Beat Fear Through Parkour)

Intro: Hello VoiceTubers and welcome back to this week’s pronunciation challenge. Do you have anything that you fear? For me, believe it or not, I used to have the fear of talking to strangers. If I had to talk to strangers my whole body would be tense and I'd be super nervous. If I had to call someone to fix something, I'd have to prepare myself at least 10 minutes before making the call, do you have this kind of fear as well? But how did I overcome this fear? I realized that my fear was from my lack of confidence, so I found a way to build my confidence through music. Whenever I showed people my music, people would be amazed and I felt proud of myself and eventually I wasn’t as scared to talk to people. The speaker in the video actually had a lot of fears to overcome, but he did it through Parkour, which is... and let's hear how he did it:

Sentence: Parkour and free running has been a stepping stone for me to heal and be okay with my sexual abuse.
跑酷和自由飛躍是我的墊腳石，治愈及撫平性虐待對我造成的傷痛。

I know facing your own fears isn’t easy and it takes a huge amount of courage to face them. So you don’t really have to face them alone, find a trusted friend or a counselor to guide you if you need. We shouldn’t live our lives in fear and it takes time to save up the energy to face them. Never let your fears overcome you as there is nothing you can’t overcome.

■stepping stone (ph. n.C)墊腳石、跳板、進身之階；(溪流或河流中的)踏腳石
■heal [hil] (vi.&vt.)治癒、使恢復健康[(+of)]；(使)(傷口)癒合、痊癒[(+over/up)]；(使)(壞的情況)好轉
■abuse [əˋbjus] (n.C or U) 濫用
(n.U) 虐待、傷害；辱罵、毀謗
(vt.)濫用；虐待、傷害；辱罵、毀謗
■parkour [ˋpɑrkʊr] (n.U){法語}縮寫為PK、在中國大陸及台灣譯為跑酷、城市疾走、香港則譯為飛躍道。多以城市環境為運動的場所、常被歸類為一種極限運動。它並沒有既定規則、只是將各種建築設施當作障礙物或輔助、在其間迅速跑跳穿行。此運動是由法國的大衛·貝爾等人所創立、他認為人能利用第6感、通過運動來增強身心對緊急情況的應變能力。與武術不同之處是武術旨在格鬥反擊、而跑酷旨在緊急脫逃。
■free running[͵fri ˋrʌnɪŋ]=freerunning (n.U) (在都市的建築和其他物體之間快速移動、同時展示跳躍和其他高難度動作的)自由奔跑。自由奔跑是一種結合了美學元素的體育和雜技學科、可以被視為體育或表演藝術、或兩者兼而有之。自由奔跑類似於跑酷、它的起源是跑酷、但強調藝術性而非效率和速度。
