One of my most popular videos on YouTube shows footage of me skateboarding, surfing, playing music, hitting a golf ball, falling down, getting up, speaking to audiences, and best of all, receiving hugs from all sorts of great people. 

我在You Tube上最受歡迎的影音,是一段拍攝了我在溜滑板、沖浪、聽(tīng)音樂(lè)、打高爾夫球、跌倒、爬起來(lái)、跟聽(tīng)眾說(shuō)話(huà),還有跟許多人擁抱等等的影片。

All in all, those are pretty ordinary activities that just about anybody can do, right? So why do you think that video has been viewed millions of times? My theory is that people are drawn to watch it because despite my physical limitations, I'm living as though I have no limits. 

總的來(lái)說(shuō),這些不過(guò)就是一般人也做得到的平常事,不是嗎?那你覺(jué)得為什么這樣的影片卻可以吸引幾百萬(wàn)人點(diǎn)閱呢?我認(rèn)為,大家之所以想看,是因?yàn)楸M管生理上有重重限制,我卻活得似乎完全不受限。

People often expect someone with a severe disability to be inactive, maybe even angry and withdrawn. I like to surprise them by showing that I lead a very adventurous and fulfilling existence. 

人們總是認(rèn)為,身體有嚴(yán)重缺陷的人會(huì)活得沒(méi)什么生趣,甚至易怒、退縮。因此,當(dāng)大家發(fā)現(xiàn)我竟然過(guò)著大膽且充實(shí)的生活時(shí),難免感到意外——我就是喜歡讓人吃驚。

Among the hundreds of comments on that video, here's one typical remark: "Seeing a guy like this being happy makes me wonder why the hell I feel sorry for myself sometimes . . . or feel that I'm not attractive enough, or funny enough, or WHATEVER. How can I even think thoughts like that when this guy is living without limbs and still being HAPPY!?" 

我的影片往往有幾百條留言,最典型的如下:看到像他這樣的家伙都可以這么快樂(lè),我不禁懷疑我對(duì)自己到底有什么好不爽的?我干嗎覺(jué)得自己不夠有魅力、不夠有趣?這個(gè)沒(méi)有四肢的家伙活得這么開(kāi)心,而我的腦袋竟然會(huì)有那些無(wú)聊的想法!

I'm often asked that very question: "Nick, how can you be so happy?" You may be dealing with your own challenges, so I'll give you the quick answer up front: 

我經(jīng)常被問(wèn)到這個(gè)問(wèn)題:“力克,你怎么可以這么快樂(lè)?”你或許正面臨挑戰(zhàn),所以我就先回答你吧:

I found happiness when I realized that as imperfect as I may be, I am the perfect Nick Vujicic. I am God's creation, designed according to His plan for me. That's not to say that there isn't room for improvement. I'm always trying to be better so I can better serve Him and the world! 

我快樂(lè)是因?yàn)槲伊私獾?,我或許并不完美,但我是完美的力克·胡哲!我是上帝照著他對(duì)我的計(jì)劃所做的獨(dú)特創(chuàng)作。當(dāng)然,這并不表示我的一切已無(wú)須改進(jìn),我一直努力讓自己更好,這樣才能更徹底地服侍上帝和這個(gè)世界。

I do believe my life has no limits. I want you to feel the same way about your life, no matter what your challenges may be. As we begin our journey together, please take a moment to think about any limitations you've placed on your life or that you've allowed others to place on it. Now think about what it would be like to be free of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible? 

我確實(shí)相信我的生命沒(méi)有限制,而不論你的挑戰(zhàn)是什么,希望你也覺(jué)得自己的人生不受限。當(dāng)我們一起開(kāi)始這段旅程時(shí),請(qǐng)先思考一下你為自己的人生,或者別人替你的人生加上的限制?,F(xiàn)在再想一想,如果沒(méi)有這些限制會(huì)怎樣?如果任何事都是可能的,那么,你的人生會(huì)如何?

I'm officially disabled, but I'm truly enabled because of my lack of limbs. My unique challenges have opened up unique opportunities to re ach so many in need. Just imagine what is possible for you! 

表面上,我是個(gè)失能者,但實(shí)際上,我因?yàn)闆](méi)有四肢而擁有能力。我個(gè)人的獨(dú)特挑戰(zhàn)為我開(kāi)啟了獨(dú)一無(wú)二的機(jī)會(huì),讓我可以接觸到許多有需要的人。所以,請(qǐng)好好想一想有什么是你可以做的!

Too often we tell ourselves we aren't smart enough or attractive enough or talented enough to pursue our dreams. We buy into what others say about us, or we put restrictions on ourselves. What's worse is that when you consider yourself unworthy, you are putting limits on how God can work through you! 

我們實(shí)在太常以為自己不夠聰明、不夠有魅力、不夠有天分,因此無(wú)法追求夢(mèng)想。別人怎么講我們就怎么相信,要不然就是自我設(shè)限太多。更糟的是,當(dāng)你覺(jué)得自己毫無(wú)價(jià)值時(shí),就等于限制了上帝在你身上的作為。

When you give up on your dreams, you put God in a box. After all, you are His creation. He made you for a purpose. Therefore your life cannot be limited any more than God's love can be contained. 

當(dāng)你放棄夢(mèng)想時(shí),就等于把上帝框住了。畢竟,你是他的創(chuàng)造物,他創(chuàng)造你是有目的的。因此,你的生命不應(yīng)該受到限制,就像神的愛(ài)不受局限一樣。

I have a choice. You have a choice. We can choose to dwell on disappointments and shortcomings. We can choose to be bitter, angry, or sad. Or when faced with hard times and hurtful people, we can choose to learn from the experience and move forward, taking responsibility for our own happiness. 

我有選擇,你也有選擇。我們可以選擇對(duì)那些令人失望與不足之處念念不忘,可以選擇苦澀、憤怒或悲哀;或者,在面對(duì)艱難時(shí)刻和那些對(duì)我們心懷惡意的人時(shí),我們可以選擇從經(jīng)驗(yàn)中學(xué)習(xí),然后繼續(xù)往前走,為自己的快樂(lè)負(fù)責(zé)。

As God's child, you are beautiful and precious, worth more than all the diamonds in the world. You and I are perfectly suited to be who we were meant to be! Even still, it should always be our goal to become an even better person and stretch our boundaries by dreaming big. Adjustments are necessary along the way because life isn't always rosy, but it is always worth living. I'm here to tell you that no matter what your circumstances may be, as long as you are breathing, you have a contribution to make. 

作為上帝的兒女,你是美好且珍貴的,比這世上所有的鉆石更有價(jià)值。你我都是照著我們?cè)撚械臉幼油昝莱尚?,不過(guò),我們的目標(biāo)應(yīng)該是不斷努力成為更好的人,并借著更遠(yuǎn)大的夢(mèng)想擴(kuò)張自己的界限。這一路上有許多需要調(diào)整的地方(畢竟人生不是一直花香常漫),但活著永遠(yuǎn)是值得的。我想讓你知道,無(wú)論你的環(huán)境如何,只要還有一口氣在,你就能做出貢獻(xiàn)。

I can't put a hand on your shoulder to reassure you, but I can speak from the heart. However desperate your life may seem, there is hope. As bad as circumstances appear, there are better days ahead. No matter how dire your circumstances may appear, you can rise above them. To wish for change will change nothing. To make the decision to take action right now will change everything! 

我沒(méi)辦法拍拍你的肩膀給你保證什么,但我可以發(fā)自?xún)?nèi)心真誠(chéng)地對(duì)你說(shuō),無(wú)論你的人生看起來(lái)多么無(wú)望,希望永遠(yuǎn)存在;就算情況似乎很糟糕,前方還是會(huì)有好日子;無(wú)論環(huán)境有多險(xiǎn)峻,你總能超越這些艱險(xiǎn)。期待改變并不能帶來(lái)改變,下定決心、此刻就采取行動(dòng),才能改變一切。

All events come together for the good. I'm certain of that because it's been true in my life. What good is a life without limbs? Just by looking at me, people know that I faced and overcame many obstacles and hardships. That makes them willing to listen to me as a source of inspiration. They allow me to share my faith, to tell them they are loved, and to give them hope. 

萬(wàn)事互相效力,一切最終會(huì)有好結(jié)果——這點(diǎn)我很確定,因?yàn)槲业纳褪侨绱恕](méi)有四肢的人生有什么好的?光是看著我,人們就愿意傾聽(tīng)我,讓我分享信仰,告訴大家他們是被愛(ài)的,并帶給他們希望。

That is my contribution. It's important to recognize your own value. Know that you also have something to contribute. If you feel frustrated right now, that's okay. Your sense of frustration means you want more for your life than you have right now. That's all good. Often it's the challenges in life that show us who we are truly meant to be. 

這就是我的貢獻(xiàn)。認(rèn)識(shí)自己的價(jià)值很重要,要知道,你也有些什么可以貢獻(xiàn)出去。如果你此刻覺(jué)得沮喪,那也OK,因?yàn)榫趩矢写砟阆胍粋€(gè)比現(xiàn)況更豐富的人生,這很好啊。通常生命中的挑戰(zhàn)會(huì)讓我們更明白自己真正應(yīng)該成為一個(gè)什么樣的人。
