   It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that you paddle down to the mud flats地狱周的周三 你要划桨到泥滩


  and spend the next 15 hours trying to survive the freezing cold并在极度严寒的环境下生存15个小时
  the howling wind and the incessant pressure to quit from the instructors风呼啸着 教官则不断怂恿你退出
  As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening周三晚上日落的时候
  my training class having committed some "egregious infraction of the rules" was ordered into the mud我们班被认为"过分地违反了规定" 被惩罚进入泥沼中The mud consumed each man till there was nothing visible but our heads我们整个人都沉入泥中 只剩头露在外面
  The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would quit教官告诉我们 只要有五个人退出 我们就可以离开only five men, just five men and we could get out of the oppressive cold只要五个人 五个人就够了 我们就能离开刺骨严寒的泥潭Looking around the mud flat it was apparent that some students were about to give up环顾泥滩 有些学员似乎有了放弃的念头
  It was still over 8 hours till the sun came up, 8 more hours of bone chilling cold在太阳出来之前 我们至少还要经历八个小时的严寒The chattering teeth and shivering moans of the trainees were so loud到处都可以听到学员牙齿打颤的声音和难耐的呻吟it was hard to hear anything
  声音之大 让你听不到任何别的声音
  and then one voice began to echo through the night这时 一个声音在夜空中响起
  one voice raised in song
  这是一首歌的声音
  The song was terribly out of tune, but sung with great enthusiasm跑调很厉害 但唱得很有激情
  One voice became two and two became three一个声音变成两个 两个变成三个
  and before long everyone in the class was singing不久 所有人都开始唱起来
  The instructors threatened us with more time in the mud if we kept up the singing教官威胁我们 如果再唱 就需要在泥中待更长时间but the singing persisted
  但没人停下来
  and somehow, the mud seemed a little warmer泥倒显得温暖了一些
  the wind a little tamer and the dawn not so far away风也显得小了一些 黎明似乎也近了一些
  If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world如果要我说人生中最重要的东西是什么
  it is the power of hope
  我会说是希望的力量
  The power of one person, Washington, Lincoln, King, Mandela一个人的力量 华盛顿 林肯 金 曼德拉
  and even a young girl from Pakistan Malala甚至那位巴基斯坦少女 马拉拉
  one person can change the world by giving people hope一个人就能通过希望改变这个世界
