You have built the brand as the quad God, and

你已經建立起「quad God」的品牌形象，

過去簡單式

then that identity took on a life of its own.

然後這個身份就有了自己的生命。

形容詞比較級

Is there more external or internal pressure that you feel?

你覺得外部壓力比較多，還是內部壓力比較多？

I would say it's a little more internal because kind of just trying to live up to the name of quad God, it's already much.

我會說內部壓力比較多，因為光是要配得上「quad God」這個稱號，就已經很不容易了。

And I think I can also say that it's also external because that's kind of the expectation that I put on myself that everyone would want me to, you know, live up to.

而且我想我也可以說外部壓力也有，因為這也是我給自己的期望，希望大家都能達到。

But in the end, I always trust my instincts and trust what I want to do, so I can sometimes block out all of that noise.

但最後，我總是相信我的直覺，相信我想要做的事，所以有時候我能屏蔽掉所有雜音。

And so take me back to that moment in the free skate.

所以，帶我回到自由滑冰的那個時刻。

You came back, and you did another beautiful quad, though.

你回來了，而且你又完成了一個漂亮的 quad，雖然。

What was that internal negotiation of pushing forward, wanting to do that, but

那個內心的拉扯是怎麼樣的？想要往前衝，想要做那個，但是

also the reality of the moment setting in?

Yeah, I mean, honestly, going into the competition, I knew that I did not need a perfect skate to, you know, be satisfied with my result.

對啊，老實說，比賽前我就知道，就算沒有完美的滑行，我也能對自己的成績感到滿意。

So, you know, when that mistake happened on the axel, I was like, okay, just kind of brush it off.

所以，你知道，當在 axel 上犯錯時，我就想，好吧，就把它撇開吧。

You know, I have to move on to the next step.

It's part of our jobs as skaters that we can't really focus too much on the mistakes we made or else that really gets in our head.

這是我們滑冰運動員工作的一部分，我們不能太專注於犯過的錯誤，否則那些錯誤就會一直困擾我們。

So we really just have to go on to the rest of the program.

所以我們真的只能繼續完成接下來的節目。

And so to that point, I mean, you have pushed the sport forward, doing the quad axel, doing seven quads in one program, but

說到這，你確實推動了這項運動的發展，完成了 quad axel，在一個節目裡完成了七個 quad，但是

嚴格來說，你並不需要這樣做。

Would you ever consider paring back, or is it.

Is it really important for you to push the sport forward?

對你來說，推動這項運動的發展真的很重要嗎？

I think it's more important for me to just push the sport forward because I think a lot of people will remember what the reason was for the sport growth again.

我覺得對我來說，更重要的是推動這項運動的發展，因為我覺得很多人會記得這項運動成長的原因。

A lot of the times, not a lot of people talk about the Olympic champions anymore, and

很多時候，大家不再談論奧運冠軍，

it's more about what image you leave for the sport.

而是關於你為這項運動留下了什麼樣的形象。

So I think that's honestly a bigger goal that I want to push, is just revolutionizing the sport.

所以我覺得這真的是我想要推動的更大目標，就是革新這項運動。

And, of course, with being the first person to have the quad axel, I think I would be much known as, you know, quad God, as we say, rather than, you know, winning gold medal.

當然，作為第一個完成 quad axel 的人，我想我會被記住為 quad God，而不是贏得金牌。

I talked to Timothy Gable the other day, and he said, I never thought I'd see one.

我前幾天跟 Timothy Gable 聊過，他說，我從沒想過我會看到這個。

And he's so impressed that you've been able to do that day in and day out.

他對你能夠日復一日地做到這一點印象深刻。

So take me back, though, to the end of the free skate.

所以，帶我回到自由滑的最後。

What did that moment teach you, though, that winning never could.

不過，那個時刻教會了你什麼，是贏家永遠學不到的？

I mean, it's funny you say I was very emotional because I think it's more of a natural feeling that that's what happened and that's our natural reaction.

我是說，你說我情緒很激動，這很有趣，因為我覺得那更像是一種自然的感受，就是事情發生了，那是我們的自然反應。

It's not necessarily I chose to be emotional.

並不見得是我選擇要情緒激動。

It's just something that I needed to happen in the moment.

Because in the end, we're all human beings.

It's, you know, we're not trained out there to be robots.

And, you know, people from, you know, the outside world might think that we're so perfect, we're so, you know, this is what we do, and

外界的人可能會覺得我們很完美，覺得這就是我們該做的，

it should be no problem, but in the end, it's really hard.

應該沒什麼問題，但說到底，這真的很難。

無論是身體上、精神上，還是情感上。

There's so much that goes into the sport, and the people don't really realize what's happening.

這項運動有很多不為人知的地方，大家其實不太瞭解實際情況。

So for something like this to happen, I think it really gives people some hope that, you know, oh, I can relate to him because he had, you know, a bad day in his life.

所以發生這種事，我覺得能讓大家看到希望，覺得「喔，我可以跟他產生連結，因為他也有過人生中不順遂的一天」。

So I think a lot of people go through good days and bad days.

所以我覺得很多人都會經歷好日子和壞日子。

So I think it was actually more of a way for people to relate and see that, you know, this is truly incredible, what we do.

所以我覺得這其實是讓大家更能產生共鳴，看到「哇，我們做的事情真的很不可思議」。

And you're going to compete at the World Championships, hopefully we're going to see you compete over the next four years.

而且你就要去參加世界錦標賽了，希望接下來四年我們都能看到你參賽。

What are you going to do differently to prepare, if at all?

你會做些什麼不同的準備嗎？如果有的話。

Honestly, I think there's not really different.

老實說，我覺得沒有什麼不同。

It's really just going about, you know, knowing that you have to get up and skate the next day.

就是知道自己必須起床，隔天還要繼續滑冰。

It's part of our jobs and something that we like to do.

這是我們工作的一部分，也是我們喜歡做的事。

And of course, I can take time and really kind of understand what happened and what went wrong in the skate so that in the future doesn't happen.

然後當然，我可以花時間好好理解這次滑冰發生了什麼事、哪裡出了錯，這樣未來就不會再發生了。

But in the end, I can't really live on it for a long time because it's not worth it.

但說到底，我沒辦法真的靠這個活很久，因為不值得。

So it's always thinking of the next step into the future.

所以總是想著下一步，朝著未來前進。

So set it and forget it kind of World Championships is the focus Gold or a Clean Skate?

所以，是把世界錦標賽設定為「設定好就忘掉」的目標，還是追求金牌或乾淨的滑冰節目？

Every competition I go to, my focus is a clean skate.

我參加的每一場比賽，我的目標都是一個乾淨的滑冰節目。

That's no matter what happens or no matter who's there, no matter if there's going to be a person that might be four times better than me.

不管發生什麼事，不管誰在那裡，不管有沒有人可能比我強四倍。

And anything I do, it's always just to go there, have a successful skate and skate, just, you know, enjoy the skate.

我所做的任何事，都是為了去那裡，有個成功的滑冰節目，然後享受滑冰。

And I really feel like a clean skate for me would make me happy no matter what the result would be.

而且我真的覺得，一個乾淨的滑冰節目，不管結果如何，都會讓我開心。

So the Ladies are going to skate their long program tomorrow.

所以，女子組明天要滑她們的長節目。

We saw you in the audience watching them yesterday.

我們昨天在觀眾席看到妳在看她們比賽。

What's your message to them as they take the ice?

當她們上場時，妳想對她們說什麼？

You know, I'm just so proud for all of them who have made so much effort and determination to come here to the Olympics and really show themselves on the ice.

妳知道，我真的為所有這些付出許多努力和決心來到奧運、並在冰上好好展現自己的選手們感到驕傲。

It's such an honor to be representing Team USA with them as well, and

能和她們一起代表美國隊，這也是一種榮幸，而且

all of us are really close and have each other's backs and support.

我們大家感情都很好，互相支持、互相打氣。

So I really want to wish them the best for tomorrow, and I'll definitely be watching.

所以我真的很想祝她們明天一切順利，我一定會守在電視機前看。

And if we could rewind two weeks, what would be the one thing you would want to say to yourself ahead of these Games?

如果我們可以回到兩週前，妳會想對自己說什麼來準備這次的比賽呢？

Honestly, just, you know, just be prepared for the worst, because you learn a lot more from failure than you do winning.

說實話，就是，妳知道，做好最壞的打算，因為妳從失敗中學到的，比從勝利中學到的多得多。

And that's something that a life lesson that I've always stuck with.

這是我一直以來都堅持的人生哲理。

And also the concept of everything happens for a reason, and that's something that I'll also live with.

還有「一切都有其原因」這個概念，這也是我一直以來的人生信念。

It's one of my mottos that I like to remind myself.

這是我時常提醒自己的座右銘之一。

I wake up in the morning, the first thing.

So it's just really something that's really sentimental to me, and

所以這對我來說真的很 sentimental，而且

I think everyone should try to embrace that and just really quickly.

我認為每個人都應該試著擁抱它，而且很快地。

The backflip doesn't get you points, but our viewers are obsessed.

後空翻沒有得分，但我們的觀眾對它著迷。

It's honestly just a really big wow factor because it's so different compared to the skating jumps that we do.

老實說，這就是一個很大的「哇」因素，因為它跟我們做的滑冰跳躍很不一樣。

A lot of the regular audience cannot really understand the difference between a triple and a quad jump because it happens so fast.

很多一般觀眾真的無法理解三轉和四轉跳躍的差別，因為它發生得太快了。

And it's just, you know, both of them can look pretty easy for the naked eye for someone who has no experience in skating.

而且對沒有滑冰經驗的觀眾來說，光看表面，兩者看起來都很輕鬆。

But a backflip is something that everyone is very familiar with.

但後空翻是大家都很熟悉的動作。

The concept, the idea, or even if they have done it before, whether it be on a trampoline, off the ice, or double or, you know, it's something that's just very relatable for everyone.

這個概念、這個想法，或者即使他們以前做過，無論是在彈簧床、冰上以外的地方，或是雙人動作，總之，這就是一個大家都很能理解的動作。

So realizing that people see that and they go, wow.

所以當大家看到這個，就會覺得「哇」。

And the audience certainly does when you do it.

當然，當你做出來的時候，觀眾也會發出驚嘆。
