What's the scariest thing you've ever done?

你所做过最可怕的事是什么？

Or another way to say it is,

或者用另外一种方式来说，

what's the most dangerous thing that you've ever done?

你做过最危险的事是什么？

And why did you do it?

你为什么要这么做？

I know what the most dangerous thing is

我知道我所做过

that I've ever done

最危险的事是什么。

because NASA does the math.

因为美国宇航局做了计算。

You look back to the first five shuttle launches,

当你回顾最初的五个航天飞机发射，

the odds of a catastrophic event

就会发现，灾难性事件发生的几率

during the first five shuttle launches

在第一次五个航天飞机发射期间

was one in nine.

是九分之一。

And even when I first flew in the shuttle

甚至当我在穿梭机首飞

back in 1995, 74 shuttle flight,

早在 1995 年，74 次航天飞行，

the odds were still now that we look back

当我们现在回头看几率是

about one in 38 or so -- one in 35, one in 40.

大约每 38 个左右—— 每 35 个、每 40 个有一个失败。

Not great odds, so it's a really interesting day

几率不是很大， 这是很有趣的一天

when you wake up at the Kennedy Space Center

当你在肯尼迪航天中心醒来

and you're going to go to space that day

就在这一天， 你即将出发前往太空，

because you realize by the end of the day

因为你意识到， 在这天接近尾声的时候

you're either going to be floating effortlessly, gloriously in space,

你要么光荣地、毫不费力地 在太空中漂浮着，

or you'll be dead.

要么就已经死了。

You go into, at the Kennedy Space Center,

你进入肯尼迪航天中心，

the suit-up room,

走进更衣间，

the same room that our childhood heroes

就是那个我们童年英雄

got dressed in,

更衣的同一个房间，

that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin got suited in

尼尔·阿姆斯特朗和 巴兹·奥尔德林在此更衣

to go ride the Apollo rocket to the moon.

随后登上阿波罗号火箭前往月球。

And I got my pressure suit built around me

我穿着加压服

and rode down outside in the van

乘坐厢式车

heading out to the launchpad --

驶向发射台，

in the Astro van -- heading out to the launchpad,

乘坐宇航局的厢式车， 向发射台驶去，

and as you come around the corner

当你即将抵达

at the Kennedy Space Center,

肯尼迪航天中心，

it's normally predawn, and in the distance,

通常是黎明前， 距离你不远处的，

lit up by the huge xenon lights,

被氙气大灯照得锃亮的，

is your spaceship --

就是你将搭载的宇宙飞船——

the vehicle that is going to take you off the planet.

它会带你离开这个星球。

The crew is sitting in the Astro van

全体人员坐在车里

sort of hushed, almost holding hands,

很安静，手牵手，

looking at that as it gets bigger and bigger.

看着那宇宙飞船越来越大。

We ride the elevator up

我们搭乘电梯上去

and we crawl in, on your hands and knees

我们用手和膝盖

into the spaceship, one at a time,

爬进太空飞船， 一次进一个人，

and you worm your way up

你蠕动到

into your chair and plunk yourself down

你的椅子上， 让自己坐定下来

on your back.

背部紧贴座椅。

And the hatch is closed,

接着，舱门关闭了，

and suddenly,

突然间，

what has been a lifetime of both dreams and denial

一生的梦想和拒绝的事

is becoming real,

正在成为现实，

something that I dreamed about,

我梦想的东西

in fact, that I chose to do when I was nine years old,

事实上，我九岁时的梦想，

is now suddenly within not too many minutes

现在突然在未来的几分钟内

of actually happening.

就要真正地发生了。

In the astronaut business --

在宇航界，

the shuttle is a very complicated vehicle;

航天飞机是非常复杂的运载工具；

it's the most complicated flying machine ever built.

它是有史以来最复杂的飞行工具。

And in the astronaut business, we have a saying, which is,

在宇航界，我们有一种说法是，

there is no problem so bad

问题没有最糟

that you can't make it worse.

只有更糟。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

And so you're very conscious in the cockpit;

你在驾驶舱内头脑十分清醒；

you're thinking about all of the things

你在想着所有你需要

that you might have to do,

完成的事情，

all the switches and all the wickets you have to go through.

包括所有的开关和所有的小闸门。

And as the time gets closer and closer,

随着时间越来越近，

this excitement is building.

你也越发兴奋。

And then about three and a half minutes before launch,

在发射前的三分半钟，

the huge nozzles on the back,

背后巨大的喷射器，

like the size of big church bells,

其尺寸如同教堂的大钟，

swing back and forth

来回摇摆

and the mass of them is such

感觉就像这样

that it sways the whole vehicle,

让整个宇宙飞船随之摇摆，

like the vehicle is alive underneath you,

仿佛你脚下的飞船是活着的，

like an elephant getting up off its knees or something.

像是大象站立起来之类的。

And then about 30 seconds before launch,

然后在发射前约 30 秒时，

the vehicle is completely alive --

飞船完全地活动起来——

it is ready to go --

准备好要出发了--

the APUs are running,

加速处理器在运行，

the computers are all self-contained,

计算机都是自控的，

it's ready to leave the planet.

它已准备离开这个星球。

And 15 seconds before launch, this happens:

在发射前 15 秒的情况是这样的：

(Video) Voice: 12, 11, 10,

（视频）声音： 12、 11、 10、

nine, eight, seven, six --

九、 八、 七、 六...

(Space shuttle preparing for takeoff)

（航天飞机准备起飞）

-- start, two, one,

— — 开始，二，一，

booster ignition, and liftoff of the space shuttle Discovery,

助推器点火，发射航天飞机，

returning to the space station, paving the way ...

返回空间站，铺平道路......

(Space shuttle taking off)

（航天飞机起飞）

Chris Hadfield: It is incredibly powerful

克里斯‧哈德菲尔德： 搭载宇宙飞船

to be on board one of these things.

感觉到的是难以置信的力量。

You are in the grip of something

你被比自己强大许多的东西

that is vastly more powerful than yourself.

握在手中。

It's shaking you so hard you can't focus

它剧烈地摇晃着， 让你难以集中精神

on the instruments in front of you.

操作你面前的设备。

It's like you're in the jaws of some enormous dog

就像你在巨型犬的下巴里，

and there's a foot in the small of your back

你的背后有只脚

pushing you into space,

将你推向太空，

accelerating wildly straight up,

疯狂加速直冲云霄，

shouldering your way through the air,

带着你穿越气层，

and you're in a very complex place --

随后你就到达了一个非常复杂的地方——

paying attention, watching the vehicle

注意，观察飞船

go through each one of its wickets

穿过一扇扇小闸门

with a steadily increasing smile on your face.

脸上的笑容愈发灿烂。

After two minutes, those solid rockets explode off

两分钟后，这些固体火箭脱落下去

and then you just have the liquid engines,

剩下的是液体火箭发动机，

the hydrogen and oxygen,

含有氢和氧，

and it's as if you're in a dragster

这感觉犹如你在高速赛车，

with your foot to the floor

脚踩在地上，

and accelerating like you've never accelerated.

以前所未有的速度前进。

You get lighter and lighter,

你变得越来越轻，

the force gets on us heavier and heavier.

我们所感受到的推动力 越来越强。

It feels like

这种感觉

someone's pouring cement on you or something.

就像有人在往你身上 浇筑水泥似的。

Until finally,

终于，

after about eight minutes and 40 seconds or so,

在约 8 分钟 40 秒左右时间之后，

we are finally at exactly the right altitude,

我们到达正确的高度，

exactly the right speed,

正确的速度，

the right direction, the engine shut off,

正确的方向， 接着引擎关闭了，

and we're weightless.

我们失重了。

And we're alive.

我们还活着。

It's an amazing experience.

这是一次奇妙的体验。

But why would we take that risk?

但我们为什么要冒这个险呢？

Why would you do something that dangerous?

你为什么要做如此危险的事情?

In my case the answer is fairly straightforward.

在我看来答案是相当简单的。

I was inspired as a youngster

在我年轻的时候，

that this was what I wanted to do.

我发现这是我想要做的事。

I watched the first people walk on the moon

我观看了人类第一次的月球行走，

and to me, it was just an obvious thing --

对我来说，这太明显了——

I want to somehow turn myself into that.

我想要自己未来也成为这样的人。

But the real question is,

但真正的问题是，

how do you deal with the danger of it

你如何处理随之而来的危险

and the fear that comes from it?

和与危险随之而来的恐惧呢？

How do you deal with fear versus danger?

你是如何处理恐惧与危险的？

And having the goal in mind, thinking about where it might lead,

铭记这个目标， 想着它会带领我前往的方向

directed me to a life of

指引我过着

looking at all of the small details to allow

关注所有能让这目标实现的

this to become possible,

所有小细节，

to be able to launch and go help build a space station

为了能够发射前往太空 帮助建立国际空间站，

where you are on board a million-pound creation

你搭乘一辆价值上百万英镑的交通工具，

that's going around the world at five miles a second,

它以五英里每秒的速度

eight kilometers a second,

八公里每秒的速度绕地球飞行，

around the world 16 times a day,

相当于一天内绕地球 16 次，

with experiments on board that are teaching us

飞船装载了很多 有待在太空中完成的实验，

what the substance of the universe is made of

这些实验将会解释宇宙的实质是什么，

and running 200 experiments inside.

并且，还要在飞船内进行 200 场实验 。

But maybe even more importantly,

但也许更重要的是，

allowing us to see the world in a way

它能让我们以独特的视角看这个世界，

that is impossible through any other means,

这是不可能通过 任何其他方式完成的，

to be able to look down

能够在这样的高空往下看

and have -- if your jaw could drop, it would --

你会惊讶到连下巴都掉下来——

the jaw-dropping gorgeousness of the turning orb

转动着的地球美得令人惊艳

like a self-propelled art gallery of fantastic,

好似自我旋转中的极美的画廊，

constantly changing beauty that is the world itself.

这个世界本身不断变化着的美丽。

And you see, because of the speed,

你看，出于运转速度原因，

a sunrise or a sunset every 45 minutes

每 45 分钟就有一次日出或日落

for half a year.

持续半年。

And the most magnificent part of all that

最棒的部分，

is to go outside on a spacewalk.

是去外太空行走。

You are in a one-person spaceship

你搭乘着“单人宇宙飞船”，

that is your spacesuit,

也就是你自己的的宇航服，

and you're going through space with the world.

你将会和世界一起穿越太空。

It's an entirely different perspective,

这是个完全不同的角度，

you're not looking up at the universe,

你不是抬头去看宇宙，

you and the Earth are going through the universe together.

而是你和地球一起在宇宙中翱翔。

And you're holding on with one hand,

你用一只手抓住飞船，

looking at the world turn beside you.

看着世界在你身边转动。

It's roaring silently

它以静默的方式咆哮

with color and texture as it pours by

被注以水波似的颜色和纹理

mesmerizingly next to you.

就在你身边。

And if you can tear your eyes away from that

如果你可以把自己的目光移开，

and you look under your arm

看向你手臂的下方

down at the rest of everything,

下面是其余的一切，

it's unfathomable blackness,

它是深不可测的黑暗空间，

with a texture you feel like you could stick your hand into.

让你觉得可以把手放进去的那种纹理。

and you are holding on with one hand,

你用一只手抓着飞船，

one link to the other seven billion people.

另一只手连结着 70 亿人。

And I was outside on my first spacewalk

我在飞船外进行 第一次太空行走的时候，

when my left eye went blind,

我的左眼失明了，

and I didn't know why.

我不知道为什么会这样。

Suddenly my left eye slammed shut

突然间，我的左眼就失明了

in great pain

并伴随着剧烈的痛苦，

and I couldn't figure out why my eye wasn't working.

我不明白眼睛失明的原因。

I was thinking, what do I do next?

我考虑着， 下一步该怎么办呢?

I thought, well maybe that's why we have two eyes,

我想，也许这就是 我们人类有两只眼睛的原因，

so I kept working.

所以我继续工作着。

But unfortunately, without gravity,

但不幸的是， 在失重情况下，

tears don't fall.

眼泪不会掉下来。

So you just get a bigger and bigger ball of whatever that is

所以你眼里的液状球体 变得越来越大

mixed with your tears on your eye

与你的眼泪混合在一起

until eventually, the ball becomes so big

直到最后， 液态球变得很大

that the surface tension takes it across the bridge of your nose

表面张力让它跨过你的鼻梁

like a tiny little waterfall

像一个小小的瀑布

and goes "goosh" into your other eye,

进入你的另一只眼睛，

and now I was completely blind

于是我就彻底失明了

outside the spaceship.

那时我在太空飞船的外面。

So what's the scariest thing you've ever done?

那么你最可怕遭遇是什么？

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Maybe it's spiders.

也许是蜘蛛。

A lot of people are afraid of spiders.

很多人都害怕蜘蛛。

I think you should be afraid of spiders --

人们确实会害怕蜘蛛——

spiders are creepy and they've got long, hairy legs,

蜘蛛令人毛骨悚然， 它们有长长的毛茸茸的双腿，

and spiders like this one, the brown recluse --

这种蜘蛛，棕色的隐士——

it's horrible. If a brown recluse bites you,

非常可怕。如果棕色隐士咬了你，

you end with one of these horrible, big necrotic things

可怕的大面积肌肉坏死将会出现在

on your leg

你的腿上

and there might be one right now

现在可能就会有一个棕色隐士

sitting on the chair behind you, in fact.

坐在你背后的椅子上。

And how do you know?

你怎么会知道呢？

And so a spider lands on you,

如果有一只蜘蛛爬到你身上，

and you go through this great, spasmy attack

你就会猛烈地攻击它，

because spiders are scary.

因为蜘蛛都是可怕的。

But then you could say, well is there a brown recluse

你可以说，有棕色的隐士

sitting on the chair beside me or not?

坐在我旁边的椅子上吗?

I don't know. Are there brown recluses here?

我不知道。 有棕色隐士在这里吗？

So if you actually do the research, you find out that

如果你真正地做了研究， 你就会发现，

in the world there are about 50,000 different types of spiders,

在世界上有约 5 万种不同类型的蜘蛛，

and there are about two dozen that are venomous

在这 5 万种蜘蛛中， 大约有 24 余种

out of 50,000.

是有毒的。

And if you're in Canada, because of the cold winters

如果你在加拿大，冬季寒冷 在不列颠哥伦比亚省

here in B.C., there's about 720, 730 different types of spiders

有约为 720、730 种不同类型的蜘蛛

and there's one -- one --

有一个，一个，

that is venomous,

是有毒的，

and its venom isn't even fatal,

它的毒液甚至并不致命，

it's just kind of like a nasty sting.

它会蜇你让你有刺痛感。

And that spider -- not only that,

那种蜘蛛 ——不只是那样，

but that spider has beautiful markings on it,

那种蜘蛛身上有着美丽的标记，

it's like "I'm dangerous. I got a big radiation symbol on my back, it's the black widow."

好像在告诉人们 “我很危险，我的背上有个 大大的辐射符号，我是黑寡妇。”

So, if you're even slightly careful

所以，如果你只需稍微小心

you can avoid running into the one spider --

就可以避免碰到蜘蛛——

and it lives close the ground,

蜘蛛生活在离地面很近的地方，

you're walking along, you are never going to go through

你沿路走着，永远不会

a spider web where a black widow bites you.

碰到一张蜘蛛网， 被那里的黑寡妇蜘蛛咬伤。

Spider webs like this, it doesn't build those,

黑寡妇蜘蛛不会编织这样的蜘蛛网，

it builds them down in the corners.

它们的网通常会在角落里。

And its a black widow because

它名叫黑寡妇，那是因为

the female spider eats the male;

母蜘蛛会吃掉公蜘蛛；

it doesn't care about you.

它根本不在乎你。

So in fact,

因此，事实上，

the next time you walk into a spiderweb,

下一次你走入一张蜘蛛网的时候，

you don't need to panic and go with your caveman reaction.

你不需要感到恐慌， 也不需要呈现你的穴居人反应。

The danger is entirely different than the fear.

危险与恐惧完全不同。

How do you get around it, though?

你如何能够绕过它？

How do you change your behavior?

你如何能改变自己的行为？

Well, next time you see a spiderweb,

好吧，下次当你见到一张蜘蛛网的时候，

have a good look, make sure it's not a black widow spider,

仔细端详一下， 确保它不是黑寡妇蜘蛛的网，

and then walk into it.

然后穿越它。

And then you see another spiderweb

后来，你看到另一个蜘蛛网

and walk into that one.

你穿越它。

It's just a little bit of fluffy stuff. It's not a big deal.

它只是有点毛绒绒的东西。 没什么大不了的。

And the spider that may come out is no more threat to you than a lady bug

编织这张网的蜘蛛对你形成的威胁 不会大过于一只瓢虫

or a butterfly.

或者是一只蝴蝶。

And then I guarantee you if you walk through 100 spiderwebs

我向你保证， 如果你穿越过 100 张蜘蛛网

you will have changed

你将会改变

your fundamental human behavior,

你最基本的人类行为，

your caveman reaction,

你如同穴居人般的反应，

and you will now be able to walk in the park in the morning

你现在能够早上在公园散步

and not worry about that spiderweb --

不去不担心那蛛网——

or into your grandma's attic or whatever,

或到你祖母的阁楼或之类的地方，

into your own basement.

到你自己的地下室。

And you can apply this to anything.

你可以将此经验应用于一切事物。

If you're outside on a spacewalk and you're blinded,

如果你在外太空行走的时候失明了，

your natural reaction would be to panic, I think.

你的自然反应是恐慌，我觉得。

It would make you nervous and worried.

它会使你紧张和担心。

But we had considered all the venom,

但我们曾考虑过所有毒液，

and we had practiced with a whole variety of different spiderwebs.

我们实践了各种不同的蜘蛛网。

We knew everything there is to know

我们知道该了解的

about the spacesuit

关于宇航服的一切

and we trained underwater thousands of times.

我们在水下训练过数千次。

And we don't just practice things going right,

我们不只是实践任务顺利的情况，

we practice things going wrong all the time,

我们一直都在练习 如何处理出差错的情况，

so that you are constantly walking through those spiderwebs.

这样，你不断穿越过那些蜘蛛网。

And not just underwater, but also in virtual reality labs

不只是在水下， 也在模拟实验室

with the helmet and the gloves

带着头盔和手套

so you feel like it's realistic.

所以感觉是很真实的。

So when you finally actually get outside on a spacewalk,

当你最终真正在外太空行走时，

it feels much different than it would

它和想象中的感觉有诸多不同，

if you just went out first time.

即使你第一次出去。

And even if you're blinded,

即使你失明了，

your natural, panicky reaction doesn't happen.

你自然地惊慌反应不会发生。

Instead you kind of look around and go,

相反，你四处看看然后想，

"Okay, I can't see,

好吧，我看不见，

but I can hear, I can talk,

但听得见，我可以说话，

Scott Parazynski is out here with me.

斯科特▪帕拉辛斯基是和我一起从这里出去的。

He could come over and help me."

他能过来帮我"。

We actually practiced incapacitated crew rescue,

我们实际上练习过救援 丧失行为能力的乘员组，

so he could float me like a blimp

所以他可以把我当做小型飞船浮动

and stuff me into the airlock if he had to.

必要的情况下并把我塞进气闸舱。

I could find my own way back.

我自己能回到飞船。

It's not nearly as big a deal.

这不是什么严重的事。

And actually, if you keep on crying for a while,

事实上，如果你继续哭一会儿，

whatever that gunk was that's in your eye starts to dilute

在你眼里的粘稠物 就会开始淡化，

and you can start to see again,

然后你就恢复视力了，

and Houston, if you negotiate with them,

休斯顿活检中心， 如果你与他们沟通，

they will let you then keep working.

他们会允许你继续工作。

We finished everything on the spacewalk

我们完成了这次太空行走 所需完成的全部内容，

and when we came back inside,

我们回到飞船里面，

Jeff got some cotton batting and took the crusty stuff around my eyes,

杰夫用棉花清理了我眼睛周围的东西

and it turned out it was just the anti-fog,

其实只是防雾剂，

sort of a mixture of oil and soap, that got in my eye.

类似油和肥皂的混合物， 跑到我的眼睛里。

And now we use Johnson's No More Tears,

所以现在我们使用 强生公司的无泪系列产品，

which we probably should've been using

其实从一开始我们就该

right from the very beginning. (Laughter)

使用这系列产品的。（笑声）

But the key to that is

但关键在于

by looking at the difference

两者的区别

between perceived danger and actual danger,

认为的危险与实际的危险，

where is the real risk?

真正的危险在哪里？

What is the real thing that you should be afraid of?

你真正应该害怕的事情是什么？

Not just a generic fear of bad things happening.

不只是对可能发生坏事 而感到恐惧。

You can fundamentally change your reaction to things

你可以从根本上 改变你对事情的反应

so that it allows you to go places

这样，它会让你去别的地方

and see things and do things

看不同的东西，做新的事情，

that otherwise would be completely denied to you ...

否则你会拒绝做出改变......

where you could see the hardpan south of the Sahara,

你可以看到 撒哈拉以南地区的砂砾层，

or you can see New York City

你也可以看到纽约

in a way that is almost dreamlike,

以极近梦幻般的方式，

or the unconscious gingham of Eastern Europe fields

你还能看到东欧 随意分布的方格地貌

or the Great Lakes

或者是北美五大湖

as a collection of small puddles.

看起来好似小水坑的集结。

You can see the fault lines of San Francisco

你可以看到旧金山的断层线

and the way the water pours out under the bridge,

和水从桥下涌出的样子，

just entirely different

如果你没能找到征服恐惧的办法，

than any other way that you could have

你将没有任何其他办法来看到

if you had not found a way to conquer your fear.

如此这般壮美的景象。

You see a beauty that otherwise

不用这种方式，你将

never would have happened.

永远不会看到如此美好的景致。

It's time to come home at the end.

该结束了，是时候回家了。

This is our spaceship,

这是我们的太空船

the Soyuz, that little one.

联盟号，较小的那个。

Three of us climb in,

我们三个爬进去，

and then this spaceship detaches from the station

随后这艘太空飞船 从空间站分离

and falls into the atmosphere.

坠入大气层。

These two parts here

这两个部分

actually melt, we jettison them and they burn up

开始熔化， 我们抛弃它们

in the atmosphere.

让它们在大气中燃烧。

The only part that survives is the little bullet

剩下的部分 只是那个小小的子弹，

that we're riding in,

我们坐在里面，

and it falls into the atmosphere,

随后它落入大气层，

and in essence

本质上来说

you are riding a meteorite home,

你是搭着一个陨石回家，

and riding meteorites is scary,

乘坐陨石是可怕的，

and it ought to be.

就是这样。

But instead of riding into the atmosphere

但是比起搭载它进入大气层

just screaming, like you would

只是尖叫着，正如

if suddenly you found yourself riding a meteorite

你突然发现自己乘坐的是陨石

back to Earth -- (Laughter) --

返回地球——（笑声）

instead, 20 years previously

相反，20 年前

we had started studying Russian,

我们已经开始学习俄语，

and then once you learn Russian, then we

一旦你会说俄语，然后我们

learned orbital mechanics in Russian,

用俄语学习轨道力学，

and then we learned vehicle control theory,

之后，我们学了运载工具控制理论，

and then we got into the simulator

然后我们打了模拟器

and practiced over and over and over again.

并一遍又一遍地练习。

And in fact, you can fly this meteorite

事实上，你可以操纵飞行这个陨石

and steer it and land in about a 15-kilometer circle

让它降落在半径约 15 公里的

anywhere on the Earth.

地球上的任意位置。

So in fact, when our crew was coming back

事实上，当我们宇航员们 返回地球的时候

into the atmosphere inside the Soyuz,

搭乘联盟号宇宙飞船进入大气层，

we weren't screaming, we were laughing;

我们不是在尖叫，我们在大笑 ；

it was fun.

这太有趣了。

And when the great big parachute opened,

当巨大的降落伞打开时，

we knew that if it didn't open

我们知道如果它无法打开

there's a second parachute,

有第二个降落伞备用，

and it runs on a nice little clockwork mechanism.

并且它的运行水平 犹如一个钟表装置般精密。

So we came back, we came thundering back

回来了，我们雷鸣般地

to Earth and this is what it looked like

回到地球，这是当时的场景

to land in a Soyuz, in Kazakhstan.

展示了联盟号飞船降落在 哈萨克斯坦的土地上。

(Video) Reporter: And you can see one of those

（视频）记者：你可以看到其中一个

search and recovery helicopters, once again

搜寻救援直升机， 又一次出现

that helicopter part of dozen such Russian

这是俄罗斯

Mi-8 helicopters.

Mi-8 型直升机中的一架。

Touchdown -- 3:14 and 48 seconds,

着陆——3 时 14 分 48 秒，

a.m. Central Time.

中部时间上午。

CH: And you roll to a stop

克里斯‧哈德菲尔德： 飞船滚动直到停止

as if someone threw your spaceship at the ground

就像有人把你的飞船扔在地上那样

and it tumbles end over end,

它不断翻滚直至停止，

but you're ready for it

但你已经对此做好准备了

you're in a custom-built seat,

You have taken the dreams of that

你已完成了那个九岁男孩

nine-year-old boy,

的梦想，

which were impossible

这几乎是不可能实现的

and dauntingly scary,

而且非常可怕，

dauntingly terrifying,
