Breast cancer awareness and two foundations. The Keep A Breast Foundation and

粉紅絲帶乳癌防治宣導活動和兩個基金會，The Keep A Breast基金會和…

It was actually…It was kind of my pep talk to my friend Angela who’s been battling breast cancer on and off for the last 11 and a half year

這其實…有點像我鼓勵我朋友安琪拉的演講，過去11年半的時間，她斷斷續續地對抗著乳癌

So this was my “let’s do this”

所以這是我常常做這個招牌動作

Right, so you’re an ex-pro surfer –Yeah

好，你是個專業的衝浪好手，對

So you’re used to the water and you’re used to seeing probably lots of things, but you’re paddling, where is this, Catalina? Where were you?

所以你非常適應水，而且你也習慣看各種事物，但你在划船，這是哪裡？Catalina嗎？你到底在哪裡？

I paddled from… -This is you? –That’s me in Tahiti. –Wow!

我從…這是你嗎？這是我在大溪地的照片。哇！

I wasn’t quite paddling. –What’s the largest wave you surfed?

我其實也不是在划船。那是你衝過最高的浪嗎？

That’s probably the largest wave I’ve surfed. –Which is… what do you say that is?

那的確是我衝過最高最大的浪。為什麼說那是你衝過最高的浪呢？

I don’t know, about that big? I don’t know. Hahaha.

我不知道，有多高呢？我也不知道。

You’re that big and it’s that big, so about 6 inches, alright.

你那麼小，浪那麼大，所以大約六英呎吧

So, alright, so you’re paddling here off of Catalina?

好，所以你從這裡離開Catalina嗎？

Yeah, there’s an island off of California called Catalina

對，加州旁邊的一個叫Catalina的小島

How long have you been out there?

你在那裡待了多久？

So I was a 40 mile paddle and I knew I had to get from point A to point B

我划了40英里，而且我知道我要從A點划到B點

It actually took me 9 hours and 1 minute and a few seconds to do it, so only 3 men have accomplished that feat before in the past

我花了9小時1分鐘又幾秒的時間完成這樣任務，以前只有三個人保持紀錄

It’s typically a relay race, but I asked the race organizer, The Ocean Ohana Catalina Challenge if I can do it solo,

基本上，這就是一個接力賽，但我問接力賽的幹部，The Ocean Ohana Catalina Challenge，為了募款，並宣傳乳癌基金會

To race money and awareness for these two breast cancer foundation, and he said “sure, you’re crazy but sure”

我可不可以獨自完成這項任務，他說：「當然可以，你真的很瘋狂。」

Right, because no other woman had done it. Okay so how long have you been in the water before you came across Larry?

因為從來沒有女性嘗試過這項任務。所以遇到Larry之前，你在水裡待了多久？

Well, I’m told there’s about a little over 3 hours, cause I didn’t want anybody on the boat telling how far I’d gone, how much farther I had to go

幹部告訴我待在水裡超過3小時，因為我不想要有人在船上提醒我走了多遠、還有多遠

So there was a boat ahead of you or following you? –An escort boat, yeah

所以有船帶領你或是跟隨你嗎？有一艘護航船

With my support crew, my sister Jenny and my friend Angela was on the boat, and our filmer Drew, and our boat captain Ray

我的後援會都在船上，我姐姐珍妮、我朋友安琪拉、攝影大哥德魯和船長雷哥

So I saw their look on their faces and I had music in my ears. I have waterproof iPod case there

所以我可以邊聽音樂，邊看著他們的臉龐。我有防水的iPod

What were you listening to? –Everything from… you are gonna ask me that question, aren’t you?

你聽什麼音樂？都聽…你要問我這個問題，對不對？

Well, I’m just curious what kind of music when you…– I went everything from worship music in the morning when the sun was coming up, which is beautiful

─我只是好奇你聽什麼類型的音樂─我都在早晨，太陽剛升起，天空最美的時候聽音樂，我聽敬拜詩歌

To Billy Jean, Michael Jackson, that was a good one to pound to and I’m embarrassed to say this, but I do love JT but I’m Bringing Sexy Back had a good beat to it

也聽Billy Jean和Michael Jackson的歌，他們唱的歌曲都非常動聽，而我很慚愧，我喜歡JT，但I’m Bringing Sexy Back的節奏感更棒

Good. Good. That’s great

好，好，非常棒

Yeah

對

As slow as you can be, I’m bringing sexy back, yeah!

你可以盡你所能地慢慢划，我帶著性感反擊！

No way! I had a good beat to it

才不是呢！我很有節奏感呢！

So then you see their face and what?

所以你看到後援會的臉龐，然後呢？

Look at my face in that photo. I’m not… I was stressed out

你看照片裡，我的表情，我不…我當時壓力很大

I saw their faces and then I kind of was scared to look back at what it was, cause I had a terrible fear of great white shark

我看到他們的臉後，我很害怕地往後看大白鯊的樣貌，因為我很怕大白鯊

I’ve never seen one in the wild yet and still don’t want to see one, but I’m like infatuated with them cause I’m so terrified

我從沒在野外看過大白鯊，我也不想要看到，但我又有點著迷，因為我很害怕

And so I saw their faces and I took one of my earphones out and I looked back, and I just see this giant whale coming out

所以我看到他們的臉後，拿下耳機，往後看，就看到這隻大鯨魚緊追在後

Wow! –Yeah, it took my breath away

哇！我非常緊張

And I would ask you how big. You probably are gonna go “that big”

如果我問你多大，你一定會回我說：「那麼大」

No, no, no, no. My board is 14 feet and he was at least twice as big as my board so he was around 30 feet

我的划板長14英尺，而船身至少比我的板子大兩倍，所以大約是30英尺

And what kind of whale it this?

這隻大鯨魚是什麼品種呢？

He, I actually haven’t seen this footage yet. These are minke whales. There’s only 500 to 600 of them off the westcoast of the United States

其實我還沒看過牠的足跡，這些是南極小須鯨，美國西岸外，只有5百到6百隻左右

And there’s a minke whale expert Jon Stern and he’s been studying these animals for over 30 years

南極小須鯨專家Jon Stern花了三十年研究牠們

And he’s genuinely jealous of my encounter

他非常羨慕我被南極小須鯨緊追在後

Well, I can’t imagine…I was jet skiing in Bora Bora and this school of dolphins started swimming with me on the jet ski

我想像不了，我在Bora Bora玩水上摩托車，然後這群海豚就在我旁邊游泳

And that was exciting. I can’t imagine what that feels like

那真令我興奮，我無法想像那種感覺

But don’t you talk to whales? –Well, yeah I speak whale.

你沒有和鯨魚說話嗎？有，我有和牠們說話

That’s what I thought! And I spoke with Larry but I couldn’t quite get the language down. Can you show me how to…

我也是那樣想！我和Larry說話，但我不懂牠們的語言。你可以表演給我看嗎？

It’s kinda hard. It’s hard on your throat.

有點難，喉嚨很難發音

Yeah. –I can’t do it right now, no

我現在示範不了

I see where you’re going

我知道你要說什麼

So when you see the whale, what was it doing with you?

你看到鯨魚時，牠有對你做什麼動作嗎？

Oh my goodness. He was kind of getting in my way, like after awhile, it kind of got a little bit annoying

我的天啊！牠搶了我的航道，一會兒後，我覺得牠有點討厭

Cause I had a job to do, I had long ways to go

因為我要工作，我還有很長一段路要划

But he was playing. –He was all around, going under my board, both sides. He liked it when I was away from the boat

─但牠在玩。─牠繞著我的四周玩，當我遠離護航船，

He’d come closer, he was blowing out big bubbles and I could smell his breath and it was so stinky and smelly

牠就會靠近我，牠吹出大泡泡，我都可以聞到牠嘴巴裡的臭味

I was like “oh! Come on! Larry!”

我說：「Larry，拜託！」

But it was nerve-racking and I was having a hard time keeping my legs underneath me and breathing and everything

我當時很傷腦筋，我的腳很難站好，呼吸也很困難

Did you feel like he was genuinely playing or did you every for a moment think he was gonna knock you over?

你覺得牠真的要跟你玩，還是要把你撞倒？

No, what I was thinking the whole time, I was working on this theory that there was something else down there

不，我當時想的是，海底還有其他生物可能威脅著我

Like a great white shark, and he was trying to protect me from that shark

像是大白鯊，小鬚鯨可能試圖要保護我

So the whole time I was really, you know, concentrating on that

所以全程我非常，你知道的，非常專注

And at one point, he kind of came up and I did see a big grey dorsal fin, he was on my right side

有一刻，牠浮出海面，我看到牠的灰色大背鰭，牠正在我的右手邊

So when he was on my right side, I couldn’t see under the water and though it was a shark for sure

牠在我右手邊時，我看不到海底，我以為海底真的有大白鯊

But what happened was he came up and then turned on his side so his tail went vertical and looked just like a shark tail

但其實是牠浮出水面，露出側身，所以牠的尾巴與海平面垂直，看起來就像是鯊魚的尾巴

Wow! –It freaked me out.

哇！牠把我嚇死了！

That’s amazing he found you, though in just… How long did he stay with you?

真是太神奇了，牠陪伴你多久呢？

Almost 2 hours. It was nuts. I felt like I was on a giant dog walk with a whale

將近2小時，牠很瘋狂，我覺得好像站在一隻大狗身上溜海豚

He wanted like all my attention, like he kept just rolling over and it was crazy

牠想要吸引我的注意力，例如：牠不停地翻滾，牠真的非常瘋狂

I kept reminding myself this doesn’t just happen to anybody

我不斷提醒自己，不是所有人都可以有這種經驗

I kept going “enjoy this moment, enjoy this moment”

所以我不斷想著要享受當下

Absolutely, that’s…

當然

That’s me being annoyed!

是我被惹惱！

That’s amazing!

真是太神奇了！

All right

好

That’s really incredible

這真是不可思議

You know what else has been incredible is… I had a celebrity friend of mine that was gonna help me get eyeballs on this before the day of the paddle

另一件不可思議的事是一位名人朋友在我出航前，幫我求了一個平安符

And he kinda didn’t come through, so when Larry showed up I said, “I don’t need so and so.

不過它沒有幫上忙，所以Larry出現時，我就根本不需要平安符了

I got Larry the whale and he’s gonna help us get the money that we’re trying to raise” and he has. We got the front page of Yahoo

我有Larry，牠會幫我們贏得獎金，我們就可以募款，我們募了超過

And in less than 24 hours we raised over 100,000 dollars and I’m just blown away. –Wow!

─10萬美金的24小時內，上了Yahoo新聞頭版，我真的被嚇到了！

Blown away! –Because of the whale! –Cause of Larry!

─你被嚇到！─被鯨魚嚇到！ ─被Larry嚇到！

I wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for Larry

要不是Larry的幫忙，我現在也不會坐在這裡

But I really feel like God played a huge role in this and he got up that morning at 4:15 and my sister and Angela and I prayed

但我真的覺得上帝扮演了一個重要角色，祂早上4:15起床，我姐姐、我朋友和我開始祈禱

And my sister prayed that God would just reveal his beauty in nature and beauty in the human body and that I can endure this trek

我姐姐祈求上帝能展露祂的自然美，還有人類的內在美，所以我才能順利度過這次的旅程

And so when Larry showed up, it wasn’t a huge surprise to me cause I knew God had orchestrated all of it

所以當Larry出現，我不會很驚訝，因為我知道這是上帝的精心安排

There would be some form of help. You know it’s more... why I believe in protecting our entire planet

冥冥中，一定有幫助，而我也更相信我們要保護地球

And these creatures are so amazing and so smart

這些生物太神奇、太聰明了

I mean you’ve seen how passionate I’m about stand-up paddle boarding and I wanted to give you a gift on behalf of all the stand-up paddling community

你已經看到我對水上摩托車多有熱情，我也想代表立槳衝浪組織送你一個禮物

Cause we’re a tightened group and I wanted to give you something to participate in our wonderful sport

因為我們的團隊人數很少，我們想要送你這個禮物，讓妳也一起參與這個很棒的運動

So this isn’t quite as big as the one that I have, but…

這個衝浪板沒有比我的大，但

Really? –It’s not as big. It’s a little smaller and we got a little paddle here for you.

─真的嗎？─沒那麼大，這比較小，我們還送你一個小划槳

Let me put this in my pool tonight. –Yeah! You’re gonna have try that out

─我今晚就把它放進我的水池裡─一定要，你一定試試看

I’m ready to go

我準備好了

And I want to offer you a chance that I can take you, Portia, and a couple of your friends whatever

而且我想要教你、Portia和你的一些朋友

And do a little lesson. Stand-up paddle board lesson

基本的課程，衝浪板站立課程

I’ll take you up on it. I promise, if Larry would come visit

如果Larry有來的話，我保證你一定可以穩穩地站在衝浪板上

Okay, I’ll work on Larry. I give him a call, but you gotta practice your whale

好，我會告訴Larry，我會打電話給牠，但你也要訓練你的鯨魚

I will. My throat’s a little…

我會，我喉嚨有點…
