Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly: Be passionate. Be courageous. Be your best.

Prevodilac: Ljiljana Ikodinovic Lektor: Mile Živković

Pat Mitchell: That day,

Pet Mičel: Taj dan,

January 8, 2011, began like all others.

8. januar 2011. je počeo sasvim obično.

You were both doing the work that you love.

Oboje ste radili posao koji volite.

You were meeting with constituents,

Sretali ste se sa glasačima,

which is something that you loved doing

što ste, kao kongresmenka,

as a congresswoman,

voleli da radite,

and Mark, you were happily preparing

a Mark, vi ste se sa zadovoljstvom pripremali

for your next space shuttle.

za sledeći spejs-šatl.

And suddenly, everything that you had planned

A tada je iznenada, sve što ste planirali

or expected in your lives

ili očekivali u životu

was irrevocably changed forever.

nepovratno promenjeno zauvek.

Mark Kelly: Yeah, it's amazing,

Mark Keli: Da, neverovatno,

it's amazing how everything can change

zapanjujuće je kako sve može da se promeni

for any of us in an instant.

u deliću sekunde.

People don't realize that.

Ljudi toga nisu svesni.

I certainly didn't.

Ja sigurno nisam bio toga svestan.

Gabby Giffords: Yes.

MK: And on that Saturday morning,

Tog subotnjeg jutra

I got this horrible phone call

sam primio taj užasan telefonski poziv

from Gabby's chief of staff.

od Gebinog šefa Kabineta.

She didn't have much other information.

Ona nije imala puno informacija.

She just said, "Gabby was shot."

Samo je rekla: "Gebi je ustreljena".

A few minutes later, I called her back

Ja sam je pozvao nekoliko minuta kasnije

and I actually thought for a second,

i zaista sam za momenat pomislio

well, maybe I just imagined getting this phone call.

da sam možda umislio taj telefonski poziv.

I called her back, and that's when she told me

Nazvao sam je i ona mi je tada rekla

that Gabby had been shot in the head.

da je Gebi pogođena u glavu.

And from that point on,

Od tog momenta nadalje,

I knew that our lives were going to be a lot different.

znao sam da će naši životi biti mnogo drugačiji.

PM: And when you arrived at the hospital,

PM: A kada ste stigli u bolnicu,

what was the prognosis that they gave you

kakvu su vam prognozu dali vezano za Gebino stanje

about Gabby's condition and what recovery, if any,

i da li ste mogli da očekujete njen oporavak

you could expect?

i ukoliko jeste, u kojoj meri?

MK: Well, for a gunshot wound to the head

MK: Kada je u pitanju rana od metka u glavi

and a traumatic brain injury,

i traumatološka povreda mozga

they typically can't tell you much.

ne može vam se puno reći.

Every injury is different. It's not predictable

Svaka povreda je drugačija. Nije predvidiva

like often a stroke might be predictable,

kao što to može biti moždani udar,

which is another TBI kind of injury.

koji je druga vrsta traumatološke povrede mozga.

So they didn't know how long Gabby would be in a coma,

Tako da nisu znali koliko će dugo Gebi biti u komi,

didn't know when that would change

nisu znali kada će iz nje izaći

and what the prognosis would be.

niti kakva će biti dalja prognoza.

PM: Gabby, has your recovery

Gebi, da li je vaš oporavak

been an effort to create a new Gabby Giffords

bio pokušaj da kreirate novu Gebi Gifords

or reclaim the old Gabby Giffords?

ili da iznova osvojite staru Gebi Gifords?

GG: The new one -- better, stronger, tougher.

GG: Novu - bolju, jaču, snažniju.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

MK: That to say,

MK: S tim u vezi,

when you look at the picture behind us,

kada pogledate fotografiju iza nas,

to come back from that kind of injury

oporaviti se nakon takve povrede,

and come back strong and stronger than ever

oporaviti se i biti snažan

is a really tough thing to do.

i snažniji neko ikada ranije

I don't know anybody

je zaista teško. Ne poznajem nikoga

that's as tough as my wonderful wife right here.

ko je toliko snažan

(Applause)

kao moja divna supruga. (Aplauz)

PM: And what were the first signs

Koji su bili prvi znaci

that recovery was not only going to be possible

da će oporavak biti ne samo moguć

but you were going to have some semblance

već da ćete moći da živite život sličan onome

of the life that you and Gabby had planned?

koji ste vi i Gebi planirali?

MK: Well, the first thing, for me, was

MK: Pa, prvi znak za mene je bio kada je Gebi,

Gabby was still kind of almost unconscious,

još uvek gotovo bez svesti, učinila nešto

but she did something when she was in the ICU hospital bed

dok je ležala na odeljenju intenzivne nege,

that she used to do when we might

što je činila često kada bismo

be out to dinner at a restaurant,

recimo bili van kuće, u restoranu.

in that she pulled my ring off

Skinula mi je prsten

and she flipped it from one finger to the next,

i prebacivala ga sa jednog prsta na drugi,

and at that point I knew

i u tom momentu sam znao

that she was still in there.

da je ona još uvek tu.

PM: And there were certain words, too.

PM: A bilo je i nekih reči.

Didn't she surprise you with words in the beginning?

Nije li vas u početku iznenadila nekim rečima?

MK: Well, it was tough in the beginning. GG: What? What? Chicken. Chicken. Chicken.

MK: Pa, u početku je bilo teško. GB: Šta? Šta? Pile. Pile. Pile.

MK: Yeah, that was it.

Da, to je bilo to.

For the first month, that was the extent

Tokom prvog meseca to je bio

of Gabby's vocabulary.

sav Gebin rečnik.

For some reason, she has aphasia,

Ona, iz nekog razloga pati od afazije,

which is difficulty with communication.

što je jezički poremećaj.

She latched on to the word "chicken,"

Ona se zakačila za reč "pile"

which isn't the best but certainly is not the worst.

što nije najbolja ali sigurno ni najgora reč.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And we were actually worried

Zaista smo bili zabrinuti

it could have been a lot worse than that.

jer je moglo biti mnogo gore od toga.

PM: Gabby, what's been the toughest challenge

PM: Gebi, šta vam je bila najveća prepreka

for you during this recovery?

tokom oporavka?

GG: Talking. Really hard. Really.

GG: Govor. Stvarno teško. Stvarno.

MK: Yeah, with aphasia, Gabby knows what she wants to say,

MK: Da, s afazijom, Gebi zna šta želi da kaže

she just can't get it out.

ali ne može da to izgovori.

She understands everything,

Ona sve razume,

but the communication is just very difficult

ali joj je komunikacija jako otežana,

because when you look at the picture,

jer kada pogledate tu fotografiju,

the part of your brain where those communication centers are

deo mozga u kojem su smešteni centri za komunikaciju

are on the left side of your head,

je na levoj strani glave

which is where the bullet passed through.

i upravo je tuda prošao metak.

PM: So you have to do a very dangerous thing:

PM: Znači vi morate da radite jako opasnu stvar:

speak for your wife.

govorite u ime svoje supruge.

MK: I do.

Tako je.

It might be some of the most dangerous things I've ever done.

To bi mogla biti jedna od najopasnijih stvari koje sam ikada radio.

PM: Gabby, are you optimistic

Gebi, da li ste optimista

about your continuing recovery --

vezano za nastavak vašeg oporavka,

walking, talking,

hod, govor,

being able to move your arm and leg?

sposobnost da pomerate ruku i nogu?

GG: I'm optimistic. It will be a long, hard haul,

GG: Jesam. To će biti dugačak i težak put

but I'm optimistic.

ali sam optimista.

PM: That seems to be the number one characteristic of Gabby Giffords,

PM: To je izgleda glavna osobina Gebi Gifords,

wouldn't you say? (Applause)

zar ne? (Aplauz)

MK: Gabby's always been really optimistic.

MK: Gebi je uvek bila optimista.

She works incredibly hard every day.

Ona svakodnevno radi izuzetno naporno.

GG: On the treadmill, walked on my treadmill,

GG: Hodam na mojoj pokretnoj traci,

Spanish lessons, French horn.

časovi španskog jezika, horne.

MK: It's only my wife who could be --

MK: To može samo moja žena -

and if you knew her before she was injured,

da ste je poznavali pre povrede,

you would kind of understand this --

mogli biste ovo da razumete -

somebody who could be injured

neko ko je bio povređen

and have such a hard time communicating

i kome je toliko teško da komunicira

and meets with a speech therapist,

i ko radi sa logopedom,

and then about a month ago, she says,

i onda pre oko mesec dana kaže:

"I want to learn Spanish again."

"Hoću da učim španski - ponovo."

PM: Well, let's take a little closer look

PM: Hajde da bolje upoznamo

at the wife, and this was even before

vašu suprugu, a ovo je bilo čak pre

you met Gabby Giffords.

nego što ste upoznali Gebi Gifords.

And she's on a motor scooter there,

Ona je ovde na skuteru,

but it's my understanding that's a very tame image

ali koliko shvatam, ovo je vrlo blaga slika

of what Gabby Giffords was like growing up.

onoga kakva je Gebi bila tokom odrastanja.

MK: Yeah, Gabby, she used to race motorcycles.

MK: Da, Gebi je vozila na moto trkama

So that's a scooter, but she had --

Ovo je skuter, ali ona je imala,

well, she still has a BMW motorcycle.

zapravo još uvek ima BMW motocikl.

PM: Does she ride it? MK: Well, that's a challenge

PM: Da li ga i dalje vozi? MK: Pa, to je izazov

with not being able to move her right arm,

s obzirom da ne može da pomera desnu ruku,

but I think with something I know about, Velcro,

ali uz pomoc nečega što ja znam, čičak trake,

we might be able to get her back on the bike,

možda ćemo uspeti da je vratimo na motocikl,

Velcro her right hand up onto the handlebar.

pričvrstimo joj desnu ruku čičak trakom za korman.

PM: I have a feeling we might see that picture next,

PM: Čini mi se da ćemo uskoro

Gabby.

videti tu fotografiju, Gebi.

But you meet, you're already decided

Kada ste se upoznali, vi ste već odlučili

that you're going to dedicate your life to service.

da svoj život posvetite državnoj službi.

You're going into the military

Da idete u vojsku

and eventually to become an astronaut.

i na kraju postanete astronaut.

So you meet.

Kad ste se sreli,

What attracts you to Gabby?

šta vas je kod Gebi privuklo?

MK: Well, when we met, oddly enough,

MK: Pa, kada smo se upoznali, što je, za čudo,

it was the last time we were in Vancouver,

bilo poslednji put kada smo bili u Vankuveru,

about 10 years ago. We met in Vancouver,

pre oko deset godina. Upoznali smo se u Vankuveru,

at the airport, on a trip that we were both taking

na aerodromu, tokom zajedničkog putovanja

to China,

u Kinu,

that I would actually, from my background,

koje bih ja, sa mojim iskustvom

I would call it a boondoggle.

nazvao uzaludnim.

Gabby would — GG: Fact-finding mission.

Gebi bi ga nazvala - GG: Projektom prikupljanja činjenica.

MK: She would call it an important fact-finding mission.

MK: Ona je u to vreme bila senator

She was a state senator at the time,

i mi smo se upoznali ovde na aerodromu,

and we met here, at the airport,

pre putovanja u Kinu.

before a trip to China.

PM: Da li biste taj susret opisali

PM: Would you describe it as a whirlwind romance?

kao vrtlog ljubavi?

GG: No, no, no.

GG: Ne, ne, ne.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

A good friend.

Dobrim prijateljstvom.

MK: Yeah, we were friends for a long time.

MK: Da, mi smo bili dobri prijatelji jako dugo.

GG: Yes. (Laughter)

GG: Da. (Smeh)

MK: And then she invited me on, about a year or so later,

MK: I onda me je, posle oko godinu dana,

she invited me on a date.

pozvala na sastanak.

Where'd we go, Gabby?

Gebi, gde smo išli?

GG: Death row.

GG: Kod osuđenih na smrt.

MK: Yes. Our first date was to death row

MK: Da, naš prvi sastanak je bio sa zatvorenicima koji čekaju

at the Florence state prison in Arizona,

izvršenje smrtne kazne u zatvoru Florens u Arizoni,

which was just outside Gabby's state senate district.

što je bilo nešto izvan Gebinog senatorskog reona.

They were working on some legislation

Oni su radili na zakonskim propisima

that had to do with crime and punishment

koji su se odnosili na krivicu i kaznu

and capital punishment in the state of Arizona.

i smrtnu kaznu u Arizoni.

So she couldn't get anybody else to go with her,

Nije uspela da pronađe nikoga ko bi išao sa njom,

and I'm like, "Of course I want to go to death row."

a ja sam rekao: "Naravno da želim da idem kod osuđenih na smrt".

So that was our first date.

I eto, to je bio naš prvi sastanak.

We've been together ever since. GG: Yes.

Od tada smo zajedno. GG: Da.

PM: Well, that might have contributed to the reason

PM: Pa, to je moglo da doprinese

that Gabby decided to marry you.

Gebinoj odluci da se uda za vas.

You were willing to go to death row, after all.

Na kraju krajeva, bili ste spremni da tamo idete.

MK: I guess.

MK: Verovatno.

PM: Gabby, what did make you want to marry Mark?

PM: Gebi, zašto ste poželeli da se udate za Marka?

GG: Um, good friends. Best friends. Best friends.

GG: Hmm, dobri prijatelji. Najbolji prijatelji.

MK: I thought we always

MK: Mi smo oduvek imali

had a very special relationship.

vrlo poseban odnos.

We've gone through some tough times

Zajedno smo prošli kroz mnogo toga

and it's only made it stronger. GG: Stronger.

što je našu vezu samo osnažilo. GG: Osnažilo.

PM: After you got married, however,

PM: Kada ste se venčali, vi ste ipak

you continued very independent lives.

nastavili da vodite vrlo nezavisne živote.

Actually, you didn't even live together.

Zapravo, niste čak ni živeli zajedno.

MK: We had one of those commuter marriages.

MK: Mi smo imali "brak na daljinu"

In our case, it was Washington, D.C., Houston,

U našem slučaju u pitanju je bio Vašington,

Tucson.

Hjuston, Tuson.

Sometimes we'd go clockwise,

Nekada bismo putovali u pravcu

sometimes counterclockwise,

kazaljke na satu, nekada obrnuto

to all those different places,

u sva ta mesta,

and we didn't really live together

i nismo zaista zajedno živeli

until that Saturday morning.

sve do tog subotnjeg jutra.

Within an hour of Gabby being shot,

U roku od sat vremena, nakon Gebinog ranjavanja

I was on an airplane to Tucson,

ja sam bio u avionu na putu ka Tusonu,

and that was the moment

i to je bio momenat

where that had changed things.

u kojem se to promenilo.

PM: And also, Gabby, you had run for Congress

PM: Gebi, vi ste se kandidovali za Kongres

after being a state senator

nakon što ste bili senator

and served in Congress for six years.

i služili ste u Kongresu šest godina.

What did you like best

Šta vam se, radeći u Kongresu,

about being in Congress?

najviše dopalo?

GG: Fast pace. Fast pace.

GG: Brz ritam. Brz ritam.

PM: Well it was the way you did it. GG: Yes, yes. Fast pace.

PM: Pa, tako ste vi to radili. GG: Da, da. Brz ritam.

PM: I'm not sure people would describe it entirely that way.

PM: Nisam sigurna da bi ljudi to baš tako opisali.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

MK: Yeah, you know, legislation is often

MK: Da, znate, zakonodavstvo je često

at a colossally slow pace,

strahovito sporo,

but my wife, and I have to admit,

ali moja supruga i mnogi drugi

a lot of other members of Congress that I know,

kongresmeni koje poznajem

work incredibly hard.

rade izuzetno naporno.

I mean, Gabby would run around like a crazy person,

Gebi je jurila unaokolo kao luda,

never take a day off,

nikada nije uzimala slobodan dan,

maybe a half a day off a month,

možda pola dana mesečno,

and whenever she was awake she was working,

i radila je tokom svakog svog budnog momenta,

and she really, really thrived on that,

i ona je zaista cvetala radeći,

and still does today. GG: Yes. Yes.

i još uvek je tako. GG: Da, da.

PM: Installing solar panels on the top of her house,

PM: Ugrađuje solarne ploče na vrhu kuće,

I have to say.

moram da primetim.

So after the tragic incident, Mark,

Nakon tragičnog događaja, Mark, vi ste odlučili

you decided to resign

da se povučete

your position as an astronaut,

sa svog posla astronauta,

even though you were supposed to take

iako ste trebali da letite

the next space mission.

na sledećoj svemirskoj misiji.

Everybody, including Gabby,

Svi, uključujući i Gebi,

talked you into going back,

su vas nagovarali da se vratite,

and you did end up taking.

što ste na kraju i uradili.

MK: Kind of. The day after Gabby was injured,

MK: Na neki način. Dan nakon što je Gebi povređena,

I called my boss, the chief astronaut,

pozvao sam svog šefa, glavnog astronauta,

Dr. Peggy Whitson, and I said,

dr Pegi Vitson, i rekao:

"Peggy, I know I'm launching in space

"Pegi, znam da polećem u kosmos

in three months from now.

za tri meseca.

Gabby's in a coma. I'm in Tucson.

Gebi je u komi. Ja sam u Tusonu.

You've got to find a replacement for me."

Moraš da mi pronađeš zamenu".

So I didn't actually resign from being an astronaut,

Tako da nisam dao ostavku na mesto astronauta

but I gave up my job and they found a replacement.

ali sam se povukao sa svog posla i oni su mi našli zamenu.

Months later, maybe about two months later,

Oko dva meseca kasnije,

I started about getting my job back,

pokrenuo sam povratak na posao,

which is something,

što je nešto,

when you become this primary caregiver person,

znate, kada postanete primarni staratelj,

which some people in the audience here

a neki od prisutnih

have certainly been in that position,

su sigurno bili u toj poziciji,

to je zahtevna uloga, ali u nekom momentu

it's a challenging role but at some point

you've got to figure out when you're going to get your life back,

morate da odlučite kada ćete se vratiti svom životu.

and at the time, I couldn't ask Gabby

U to vreme nisam mogao da pitam Gebi

if she wanted me to go fly in the space shuttle again.

da li je želela da ponovo letim u spejs šatlu.

But I knew she was— GG: Yes. Yes. Yes.

Ali sam znao da je ona bila - GG: Da. Da. Da.

MK: She was the biggest supporter of my career,

MK: Ona je pružala najveću podršku mojoj karijeri

and I knew it was the right thing to do.

i znao sam da činim pravu stvar.

PM: And yet I'm trying to imagine, Mark,

PM: Ipak, Mark, pokušavam da zamislim,

what that was like, going off onto a mission,

kako je to bilo, otići na zadatak,

one presumes safely, but it's never a guarantee,

pretpostavljamo bezbedan, ali tu nema garancija,

and knowing that Gabby is —

i znati da je Gebi -

MK: Well not only was she still in the hospital,

MK: Ne samo da je još uvek bila u bolnici,

on the third day of that flight,

tokom trećeg dana tog leta

literally while I was

dok sam se ja doslovno

rendezvousing with the space station,

sastajao sa svemirskom stanicom,

and you've got two vehicles moving at 17,500 miles an hour,

tu se dve letelice kreću brzinom od 28.000 km/h,

I'm actually flying it, looking out the window,

ja sam pilotirao, gledao kroz prozor

a bunch of computers,

okružen gomilom kompjutera,

Gabby was in brain surgery,

a Gebi je bila na operaciji mozga.

literally at that time having the final surgery

Baš u to vreme je imala poslednju operaciju

to replace the piece of skull

kojom je deo lobanje,

that they took out on the day she was injured

koji su joj izvadili na dan ranjavanja

with a prosthetic, yeah, which is the whole side of her head.

zamenjen protezom, koja joj pokriva čitavu stranu glave.

Now if any of you guys would ever come

Ukoliko biste došli u naš dom,

to our house in Tucson for the first time,

u našu kuću u Tusonu, po prvi put,

Gabby would usually go up to the freezer

Gebi bi otišla do zamrzivača

and pull out the piece of Tupperware

i izvadila plastičnu kutiju

that has the real skull. (Laughter)

u kojoj se nalazi deo njene lobanje. (Smeh)

GG: The real skull. MK: Which freaks people out, sometimes.

GG: Prave lobanje. MK: Što ponekad prestravi ljude.

PM: Is that for appetizer or dessert, Mark?

PM: To je za predjelo ili dezert?

MK: Well, it just gets the conversation going.

MK: Pa, pokrene razgovor.

PM: But there was a lot of conversation about

PM: Bilo je puno govora oko

something you did, Gabby, after Mark's flight.

nečega što ste vi, Gebi, uradili nakon Markovog leta.

You had to make another step of courage too,

Morali ste da načinite još jedan akt hrabrosti,

because here was Congress deadlocked again,

Kongres je bio blokiran, ponovo,

and you got out of the rehabilitation center,

i vi ste izašli iz centra za rehabilitaciju,

got yourself to Washington

otišli u Vašington

so that you could walk on the floor of the House --

kako biste mogli da odete u Dom,

I can barely talk about this without getting emotional —

teško mi je i da govorim o tome,

and cast a vote which could have been

i tamo glasate, što je mogao biti

the deciding vote.

odlučujući glas.

GG: The debt ceiling. The debt ceiling.

GG: Stopa zaduženja. Stopa zaduženja.

MK: Yeah, we had that vote,

MK: Da, to glasanje je bilo

I guess about five months after Gabby was injured,

oko pet meseci nakon Gebine povrede,

and she made this bold decision to go back.

i ona je donela hrabru odluku da se vrati.

A very controversial vote,

To je bilo vrlo kontraverzno glasanje,

but she wanted to be there

ali ona je želela da bude tamo

to have her voice heard one more time.

i da se njen glas čuje još jednom.

PM: And after that, resigned

PM: Nakon toga se povukla

and began what has been a very slow

i započela vrlo spor

and challenging recovery.

i težak oporavak.

What's life like, day to day?

Kako izgleda vaš svakodnevni život?

MK: Well, that's Gabby's service dog Nelson.

MK: Pa, ovo je Gebin pas pomoćnik Nelson.

GG: Nelson.

GG: Nelson.

MK: New member of our family. GG: Yes, yes.

MK: Nov član naše porodice. GG: Da, da.

MK: And we got him from a—

MK: Dobili smo ga od -

GG: Prison. Murder. MK: We have a lot of connections

GG: Zatvor. Ubistvo. MK: Dobro smo povezani

with prisons, apparently. (Laughter)

sa zatvorima, očito. (Smeh)

Nelson came from a prison,

Nelson je došao iz zatvora,

raised by a murderer in Massachusetts.

odgajila ga je ubica iz Masačusetsa.

But she did a great job with this dog.

Ali odlično je obučila ovog psa.

He's a fabulous service dog.

On je fantastičan pas pomoćnik.

PM: So Gabby, what have you learned

PM: I Gebi, šta ste naučili iz sopstvenog iskustva

from your experiences the past few years?

tokom proteklih nekoliko godina?

MK: Yeah, what have you learned? GG: Deeper. Deeper.

MK: Da, šta si naučila? GG: Dublje, dublje.

PM: Your relationship is deeper.

PM: Vaš odnos je produbljen.

It has to be. You're together all the time now.

Mora biti. Sada ste stalno zajedno.

MK: I imagine being grateful, too, right?

MK: Mislim i da si zahvalna, zar ne?

GG: Grateful.

GG: Zahvalna.

PM: This is a picture of family and friends gathering,

PM: Ovo je fotografija sa porodičnog okupljanja,

but I love these pictures because they show

ove fotografije mi se sviđaju jer pokazuju

the Gabby and Mark relationship now.

Gebin i Markov sadašnji odnos.

And you describe it, Gabby, over and over,

Gebi, a vi ga uvek iznova opisujete

as deeper on so many levels. Yes?

kao produbljen na tako mnogo nivoa. Zar ne?

MK: I think when something tragic happens

MK: Mislim da porodična tragedija

in a family, it can pull people together.

zbližava ljude.

Here's us watching the space shuttle

Ovde gledamo kako spejs šatl

fly over Tucson,

leti iznad Tusona,

the Space Shuttle Endeavour,

spejs šatl Endever,

the one that I was the commander on its last flight,

čiji sam komandant bio tokom njegovog poslednjeg leta,

on its final flight on top of an airplane

a tada na svom poslednjem letu na leđima boinga 747

on a 747 on its way to L.A.,

na putu ka Los Anđelesu. Ljudi iz NASA-e su bili

NASA was kind enough to have it fly over Tucson.

ljubazni da ga pošalju na let iznad Tusona.

PM: And of course, the two of you

PM: Vas dvoje ste, naravno,

go through these challenges

izloženi izazovima

of a slow and difficult recovery,

sporog i teškog oporavka,

and yet, Gabby, how do you maintain

Gebi, kako uspevate da održite

your optimism and positive outlook?

optimizam i pozitivan ugao gledanja?

GG: I want to make the world a better place.

GG: Želim da poboljšam svet.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

PM: And you're doing that

PM: To i činite

even though your recovery has to remain

iako vaš oporavak mora da ostane

front and center for both of you.

prioritet za oboje.

You are people who have done service

Vi ste ljudi koji su služili

to your country and you are continuing to do that

svojoj zemlji i koji nastavljaju da to čine

with a new initiative, a new purpose.

sa novom inicijativom i svrhom.

And Gabby, what's on the agenda now?

Gebi, šta imate sada u planu?

GG: Americans for Responsible Solutions.

GG: Amerikanci za odgovorna rešenja.

MK: That's our political action committee,

MK: To je naš politički akcioni komitet

where we are trying to get members of Congress

kojim pokušavamo da privolimo članove Kongresa

to take a more serious look at gun violence in this country,

da se ozbiljnije pozabave oružanim nasiljem u zemlji

and to try to

i da pokušaju

pass some reasonable legislation.

da usvoje neke razumne zakone.

GG: Yes. Yes. (Applause)

GG: Da. Da. (Aplauz)

MK: Znate, oružano nasilje je na nas uticalo vrlo lično,

MK: You know, this affected us very personally,

but it wasn't what happened to Gabby that got us involved.

ali nije nas pokrenulo ono što se desilo Gebi.

It was really the 20 murdered first graders

Pokrenulo nas je ubistvo 20 đaka prvaka

and kindergartners in Newtown, Connecticut,

i dece iz zabavišta u Njutaunu u Konektikatu,

and the response that we saw afterwards

i reakcija koju smo nakon toga videli

where -- well, look what's happened so far.

gde - pa, pogledajmo šta se do sada dogodilo.

So far the national response has been

Do sada smo kao nacija reagovali,

pretty much to do nothing.

uglavnom ne čineći ništa.

We're trying to change that.

Mi pokušavamo da to promenimo.

PM: There have been 11 mass shootings

PM: Bilo je 11 masovnih pucnjava

since Newtown,

od Njutauna,

a school a week in the first two months of last year.

po jedna škola nedeljno, tokom prva dva meseca prošle godine.

What are you doing that's different

Šta to vi činite drugačije

than other efforts to balance

od drugih napora da se izbalansira

rights for gun ownership and responsibilities?

pravo na posedovanje oružja sa odgovornošću?

MK: We're gun owners, we support gun rights.

MK: Mi posedujemo oružje i podržavamo to pravo.

At the same time, we've got to do everything we can

U isto vreme, moramo da učinimo sve u našoj moći

to keep guns out of the hands of criminals

da oružje ne dospe u ruke kriminalaca

and the dangerously mentally ill.

i opasnih mentalnih bolesnika.

It's not too difficult to do that.

To nije previše teško.

This issue, like many others,

Ovaj problem je, kao i mnogi drugi,

has become very polarizing and political,

ispolitizovan i doveo do podela,

and we're trying to bring some balance

i mi pokušavamo da unesemo ravnotežu

to the debate in Washington.

u raspravu u Vašingtonu.

PM: Thank you both for that effort.

PM: Hvala vam oboma na tom naporu.

And not surprisingly for this woman of courage

I ne iznenađujuće za ovu hrabru ženu

and of a sense of adventure,

sa avanturističkim duhom,

you just keep challenging yourself,

vi nastavljate da sebi postavljate izazove

and the sky seems to be the limit.

koji, kako se čini idu do neba.

I have to share this video

Želim da pokažem ovaj snimak

of your most recent adventure.

vaše najnovije avanture.

Take a look at Gabby.

Pogledajte Gebi.

MK: This is a couple months ago.

MK: To je bilo pre nekoliko meseci.

(Video) MK: You okay? You did great. GG: Yes, it's gorgeous. Thank you.

(Video) MK: Jesi li dobro? Odlično ti ide. GG: Da, predivno je. Hvala ti.

Good stuff. Gorgeous. Oh, thank you.

Super. Sjajno. O, hvala ti.

Mountains. Gorgeous mountains.

Planine, predivne planine.

(Aplauz)

(Applause)

Samo da dodam da je jedan od momaka

MK: Let me just say

one of the guys that Gabby jumped with

sa kojima je Gebi tog dana skakala

that day was a Navy SEAL

bio iz mornaričkih Foka.

who she met in Afghanistan

Gebi ga je upoznala u Avganistanu

who was injured in combat,

gde je bio povređen u borbi,

had a really rough time.

i kojem je zaista bilo teško.

Gabby visited him

Gebi ga je posetila

when he was at Bethesda

kada je bio u Betezdi

and went through a really tough period.

i prolazio kroz vrlo težak period.

He started doing better.

Počeo je da se bolje oseća,

Months later, Gabby was shot in the head,

nekoliko meseci kasnije je Gebi nastradala

and then he supported her

i tada je on pomogao njoj

while she was in the hospital in Houston.

dok je bila u bolnici u Hjustonu.

So they have a very, very nice connection.

Tako da imaju jako, jako lep odnos.

GG: Yes.

GG: Da.

PM: What a wonderful moment.

PM: Kakav divan momenat.

Because this is the TED stage,

Pošto je ovo TED pozornica,

Gabby, I know you worked very hard

Gebi, znam da ste radili jako naporno

to think of the ideas that you wanted to leave

na osmišljavanju ideja koje želite

with this audience.

da prenesete ovoj publici.

GG: Thank you.

GG: Hvala vam.

Hello, everyone.

Zdravo svima.

Thank you for inviting us here today.

Hvala što ste nas pozvali.

It's been a long, hard haul,

Ovo je bio dug i naporan put,

but I'm getting better.

ali se oporavljam.

I'm working hard,

Naporno radim,

lots of therapy -- speech therapy,

puno terapije - logoped,

physical therapy, and yoga too.

fizikalna terapija i joga.

But my spirit is strong as ever.

Ali moj duh je snažan kao i uvek.

I'm still fighting to make the world a better place,

Još uvek se borim da poboljšam svet,

and you can too.

to možete i vi.

Get involved with your community.

Uključite se u život svoje zajednice,

Be a leader. Set an example.

Budite vođa. Budite primer.

Be passionate. Be courageous.

Budite strastveni, budite hrabri,
