You skiers know the sport takes a lot more than reading that trail map. You need skill, concentration, balance, and it`s considerably more challenging for someone recovering from the wounds of war. But the mission of the Wounded Warriors program is to help America`s veterans readjust to peaceful civilian life. Here`s how that`s done on the slopes of Virginia.
滑雪者都知道玩好這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動要比看懂滑雪路線圖難得多。滑雪需要技巧,注意力要集中,身體要保持平衡,而對于從戰(zhàn)場中受傷的人來說,挑戰(zhàn)性更大。但是受傷士兵項(xiàng)目部的任務(wù)是幫助美國退伍老兵重新獲得平靜的正常生活。
This is the 8th Annual Wounded Warrior event at Wintergreen. The objective is to help these wounded warriors learn what`s even possible in their lives. Many of them have sustained horrific injuries, and they`re not sure what they can do.
這里是Wintergreen,這是第八屆年度受傷老兵聚會。目的是為了幫助戰(zhàn)后士兵重新獲得對生活的渴望和自信。因?yàn)檫@里面許多士兵受到了嚴(yán)重的重創(chuàng),覺得自己一無是處,甚至沒有了生活的勇氣。
We want to show them that skiing can be a part of their life. So we like to say that this is all about discovering new possibilities.
我們想告訴他們,滑雪可以作為他們生活中的一部分,所以我們常說這是創(chuàng)造奇跡的開始。
Last year I was here as an actual wounded warrior. I was one of the -- one of the soldiers or veterans here, taking ski instructions from the Wintergreen Adaptive staff, and having a good time.
去年我作為一名受傷士兵參加了他們的活動,我屬于這些受傷士兵或者說退伍士兵的一員,開始接觸滑雪,我過的很快樂。
This year, I`m back on staff as an instructor, an assistant instructor this year, and working and really enjoying it.
今年,我又回來了,但是是以導(dǎo)師的身份出現(xiàn)的,我已經(jīng)工作了,并且非常享受現(xiàn)在的時(shí)光。
I`m very much into any kind of recovery, you know, something that`s going to help my brain, anything that stimulates this is good. It keeps my mind off of other things. So, yes, I was invited and I said, yes, you know, I`m going.
我非常愿意參加各種恢復(fù)訓(xùn)練組織,你也看到了,我在改變,所有的這些活動都非常棒。讓我慢慢忘掉了之前痛苦的回憶,所以我被邀請到這里給你們做演講,希望你們能跟我一樣,忘掉過去向前進(jìn)。
I get the enjoyment out of it. For me, it`s being able to get back out and do things like this outdoors. But at the same time, I get to show my peers who are here for maybe the first time that, hey, you can be seriously injured and then come back out here and do this. Yes, it may take a little modified technique, but we`re going to -- we`re going to get you down the hill safely, and you`re going to have fun.
我非常享受這些訓(xùn)練。對我來說我已經(jīng)恢復(fù)過來了,也可以做這些戶外運(yùn)動。我必須要告訴你們這些跟我一樣的人們,也許今天你是第一次來到這里,或許你被戰(zhàn)爭傷害很大,所以來到這里做康復(fù)訓(xùn)練。當(dāng)然,這可能會采取一些科技手段,但是我們終將會讓你重獲新生,你將從這里感受快樂。
So they got me rigged up in this bi-ski with these side riggers and then the hand riggers and then I`m going to have people tethering, right, tethering.
所以他們想讓我接管這個雙邊滑雪道,當(dāng)然這兩邊有保護(hù)架來輔助我們做訓(xùn)練。下面我想請五個綁在一起,是的,捆綁在一起。
No, I really wasn`t. Wait up. So I know I`m not going down. I got five people with me.
不不,我不下去。好吧,我下去。但是我要這五個人跟我一塊下去。
There`s a bond that most civilians can`t relate to. I may not have personally experienced every exact moment that they have through their recovery process or their exact injuries, but at the same time, we share that bond of we went down range and we`ve done our duty, and we`ve paid with blood, but we`re not going to trade it for a single day in the world.
這個過程可能大多數(shù)人都不能體會。我自身可能沒有經(jīng)歷和感受過他們的訓(xùn)練過程,或者他們的痛苦,但是我們共同履行一個任務(wù),我們一塊滑下去,我們付出了鮮血,但是我們不能拿它和世界上的任何一天進(jìn)行交換。
