過去簡單式

I'm glad they came to a decision like that so now we can readjust our schedule, readjust our training, and prepare for next year.

我很開心他們終於作出決定，因此我們現在可以為了明年的比賽重新調整排程和練習。

to 不定詞

I think the hardest thing that I've realized—and it's same as an athlete— is like, man, you spend too much time out of the pool, you start to lose things.

我發現目前面對最大的困境是… 作為一般運動員應該了解，已經有一段很長的時間沒有到水中訓練，

You start to lose the feel of the water, even just mentally.

你會漸漸失去水感，即使只是心理上的感覺。

You lose that edge, and to compete in Olympics in a few months, we wouldn't be at the... our peak.

因此會變得不在狀態內，然而幾個月後要參加奧運，我們將沒辦法達到自己的巔峰。

And so it's good now to have that peace of mind.

現在心中能有一片樂土是件好事。

Now we're just prayerful that all of this whole pandemic can blow over, which it doesn't look like it's slowing down anytime soon.

現在我們只能祈禱這個大流行病毒能停止，目前狀況看起來還沒有緩和的跡象。

You know, we all understand the circumstances.

Karate is the first time being in the Olympics, and so you can imagine the excitement and all the things that I was looking forward to do.

空手道首度成為奧運正式項目，所以你們應該可以想像我有多興奮以及有多期待可以上場。

Obviously, this is such an unfortunate environment where a lot of people's health are at risk, so I think it's really important that, you know, they put athletes and everybody else's health first and try to plan everything because the athletes aren't able to train.

目前顯然是處於一個不幸的狀況，因為有許多人的健康都受到威脅，所以我認為把運動員和大眾的健康放在第一位以及安排賽事事宜是非常重要，因為運動員現在沒有辦法作訓練。

Training and imagining myself performing at the Olympics is really, right now, the only thing that's getting me through all of this.

而平日的訓練以及想像自己在奧運會場上的表現是我目前唯一的動力。

No matter how long they postpone it, the Olympics is still the goal.

不管延後至什麼時候，奧運會仍然是我的目標。

I feel lucky that I can still go out for a run.

我覺得很幸運我還能出門跑步。

Like, you know, all I need is a pair of shoes, and I can go run anywhere.

大家也知道，我只需要一雙跑鞋就可以出門跑步。

I can do most of my gym stuff in my living room.

我可以在客廳做一些在健身房做的體能訓練。

You know, we do some real lifts, like Olympic lifting and stuff, and we can't do that right now.

我們會舉重，像是奧林匹克舉重，但是我們目前沒有辦法在家做。

But, you know, for the most part, I just feel lucky that that I can go for my runs and I can do most of my training and try and just avoid, you know, getting sick as much as possible.

不過簡單來說，我覺得很幸運還可以去練跑、體能訓練等，而且也會盡可能避免生病。

Team USA is doing a really great job of making sure we have mental health resources during such an unsure time, so I do really appreciate that.

美國國家隊對於我們在這個面對很多不確定的狀況下的精神健康資源方面做得非常出色，所以我對此表示感激。

So I used... took advantage of that opportunity, and I talked to a therapist just because I wanted to know how best to navigate this.

所以我把握這樣的機會和治療師面談，因為我想知道可以怎麼好好處理這樣的狀況。

You know, I don't want to just, you know—taking it day by day only works so much, so I got some really great advice, and she basically said, like, "What can we do now?"

我也不想如此日復一日地過日子，我從而我獲得非常有用的建議，她提出了一些問題：我們現在可以做什麼？

以及有什麼是一輩子都不能做的事？

So, like, I'm only focused on what you can do right now, right?

所以現在我只要專注在現在可以做的事，對吧？

I can, you know, focus and do well in school right now.

You know, I can play with my dog and enjoy, you know, hanging out outside right now.

我可以和我的狗一起玩，帶牠出門遛遛。

You know, later, you know, figure out how I'm going to financially deal with the aftermath of this.

而且也能有時間想辦法處理之後因此疫情所帶來財務上的問題。

I'm in a fortunate position where I can wait a year for the Olympics to happen, so I do have that flexibility, and I've planned for that in my life to be competing next year.

我很幸運可以等待一年後參加奧運會，所以我有充裕的時間，而且我畢生都在為明年的奧運會作準備。

I feel for a lot of athletes who this was gonna be their last go.

我想對於很多運動員來說這是他們的最後一戰。

And many of the athletics contracts are based around Olympic years and World Championships years.

因為有許多運動員的合約是根據奧運會和世界錦標賽年而簽訂。

So if you're already an accomplished athlete who's a global medalist, you're probably fine, but there's a lot of athletes who are at my level, who are trying to make a large breakthrough who really need those Olympic years to kind of get you those faster times, get you those better appearances.

所以如果是已經是出色的金牌選手，那就沒什麼大問題，但有許多像我的選手都仍然嘗試希望能於比賽中有重大的突破，非常需要透過參加幾次奧運會上以讓自己快速達成目標，擁有更好的成就。

If there's a possibility to delay the games by a year, and that's supported by the United States of America and the USOC, I think that I would look to them to support us as athletes through the difficult next year financially so that we would be able to get to those games and be a competitor there.

如果真的會延賽一年的話，而又得到美國政府以及美國奧林匹克與帕拉林匹克委員會 (USOC) 的支持的話，我希望他們能於明年即使面對財政困難的情況下對運動員伸出援手，讓我們有機會參賽，成為選手之一。

The games could actually be a really cool way to bring people back together and unite people and, you know, have that uplifting.

奧運會絕對是一個可以把大家團結起來的好方法，可以振奮人心。

It always has that uplifting effect and, you know, makes people feel very patriotic and everything, but I think maybe now more than ever, we kind of need that.

這總是能帶來振奮人心的效果以及激起大家的愛國心，但我想現在也許比以往任何時候都更需要這種感覺。

We need something to cheer for and get excited about and say, you know, "Go, Team USA" about.

我們需要能為其加油並感到興奮的事情，像是會說「美國隊，加油！」

So I think it could be really special after tumultuous times.

所以我想在這慌亂時期過後，這會是一次特別的賽事。
