E - C Translation P4058歲時橫渡英吉利海峽一年多前，我開始為今年九月橫渡英吉利海峽進行訓練。屆時我將年滿58歲。朋友們以為我瘋了；我妻子倒沒覺得我瘋了，就是有點擔心。人們一再問我的問題是：為什么？最近，印第安納州的一位見習記者問了我這個問題，我說：“讓我先問你一個問題。今年夏天你有些什么打算？”他回答說打算去超市打工。我無需再說什么，他已經(jīng)明白了我的意思。不管你是20歲還是

27、58歲，都喜歡接受挑戰(zhàn)，干些帶有冒險意味的事兒；而為橫渡英吉利海峽做準備，遠比在超市打工有意義，尤其是當你有所選擇的時候。可我究竟為什么決定要在58歲時橫渡英吉利海峽呢？也許我自己也很難做出滿意的回答。對游泳愛好者來說，英吉利海峽向來是莫大的挑戰(zhàn): 它是對能力、耐力、運氣，以至勇敢精神的一種考驗。正是這一挑戰(zhàn)，每年吸引了大約100名左右的游泳愛好者，他們心甘情愿地投入時間、經(jīng)歷和財力，一試身手。有一點更增添了我的興趣，那就是，我要是成功了，將成為迄今為止年齡最大的英吉利海峽暢游者。我不認為自己是個超人，但我確實覺得自己至少有兩個有利條件：首先，我正在刻苦訓練 現(xiàn)在每天游7.5 英里。在此之前，我一直堅持適度的刻苦訓練，以保持良好的身體狀態(tài)。 其次，我是個不屈不撓的人。我一旦確立了目標，便不會輕易放棄。橫渡英吉利海峽早就是我的一個目標。我有一種預感，覺得自己會做好充分思想準備的，絕不會像幾年前某位英吉利海峽的橫渡者那樣半途而廢。他刻苦訓練了兩三年，做好了種種安排，甚至在賽前幾星期就去英國，在英格蘭海峽進行實地訓練。重要的日子到來了，他開始向法國游去；才游了一個小時，他就從水里出來，爬上小船，說自己突然失去了橫渡英吉利海峽的意愿，這事對他不再有什么意義了。相反，有位姑娘在海面涌起激浪時，力圖游完全程。由于海浪洶涌，海水冰涼，她游得很辛苦，這時她的
