The water we swim in is dangerous, and someone has died in it.

我們游的水域很危險甚至有人因此喪命。

Growing up, I had people tell me that the water was so dangerous that there were three prisoners who didn't make it.

以前有人跟我說這水域非常危險，以至於有三位囚犯越獄失敗。

And the reason Alcatraz was there was because they had sharks in the water, and you can't swim at all, but now I know that's not true.

惡魔島監獄蓋在那裡的原因是因為，這水域有鯊魚，你根本沒辦法游泳，但我現在知道這是假的。

I'm 16, and I've swum from Alcatraz to San Francisco 48 times.

16 歲，我已經從惡魔島游到舊金山 48 次。

I'm 12, and I've done the Alcatraz swim 38 times, and Mitali is my sister.

12 歲，我已經完成 38 次，而 Mitali 是我的姊姊。

I used to be the youngest person to swim the span of the Golden Gate Bridge, but my sister holds that world record now.

我曾經是完成泳渡金門大橋之最年輕的人，但現在換我妹妹保持這個世界紀錄。

The first time I swam Alcatraz was when I was 10 years old, and I was inspired by my friends who had swum it before me.

我第一次游過惡魔島是在我十歲的時候，我是受到一位比我更早游過的朋友啟發。

We train once a week every Sunday with our open water swim team.

我們每週日練習一次，與我們開放水域游泳隊一起練習。

From just Alcatraz to the beach, that takes me around 35 to 40 minutes, but at my fastest time, it's 27 minutes.

單單從惡魔島游到海灘大概就要花我 35 分鐘到 40 分鐘，但我最快的紀錄是 27 分鐘。

That water is freezing, but you feel so good because you're in the open ocean.

水非常地寒冷，不過因為徜徉在寬廣的海洋，你會覺得很棒。

The water's murky, so you can't really see anything, but you can feel the water, and you feel like you're on top of the world, but you're in the middle of the ocean.

在海裡能見度很低，你沒辦法看得很清楚，但你確實能感受到海洋，感覺就像登上世界頂端般一樣興奮，然而你只是身處在大海之中。

It's hard to have that mental strength that you can do this because it's just so dangerous and unusual to do it.

擁有完成這項挑戰的勇氣是很不容易的，因為這實在是太危險，也沒有什麼人會去做這件事。

And so whenever we swim, when I take a breath and she takes a breath, we end up looking at each other,

當我們在游的過程中我換一口氣，她也換一口氣，此時我們就會眼神接觸。

and it's really comforting to see that there's someone out there with you while you're swimming.

這是一種令人感到欣慰的感覺，當你在游泳時有人在你身旁。

That's the first response because it's something that no one's ever really thought of doing.

這是大家的第一個反應，因為這是一件從來沒有人真正想過去做的事情。

I grew up with this, so I never knew a world where it was unusual to do this.

我從小做到現在，所以我一點都不覺得哪裡不尋常。

If other kids wanna do this, I encourage it.

如果其他小孩想挑戰，我會支持。
