As a kid, I grew up on a farm in Florida, and I did what most little kids do. 小时候,我在佛罗里达州的农场长大, 玩的东西和大部分小孩都一样。
I played a little baseball, did a few other things like that, but I always had the sense of being an outsider , and it wasn't until I saw pictures in the magazines that a couple other guys skate, I thought, "Wow, that's for me," you know? 我玩棒球,还有一些类似的运动, 但我总有一种感觉,自己只是个门外汉, 直到我在杂志上看到 玩滑板的年轻人;我想, “对,我找的就是这个,”你明白吗？

There was no opponent directly across from you. 当然,也没有竞争对手。

And I loved that sense, so I started skating when I was about 10 years old, in 1977, and when I did, I picked it up pretty quickly. 我喜欢这种感觉,于是, 1977年我10岁的时候,开始了我的滑板生涯。 我就这样开始了,也很快上手。
In fact, here's some footage from about 1984. 这是1984年左右拍的一些画面。
footage:n.英尺长度;连续镜头;以尺计算长度;
It wasn't until '79 I won my first amateur championship , and then, by '81, I was 14, and I won my first world championship , which was amazing to me, and in a very real sense, that was the first real victory I had. 直到1979年,我赢得了滑板生涯中首个业余赛冠军, 之后到1981年,我14岁时, 赢得第一个世界冠军, 实在让我很吃惊, 真真切切的,我取得了第一次真正的胜利。

And this one here? An ollie . 而这个呢？是豚跳（用双脚带板起跳）。
ollie:n.奥利(男子名,等于Oliver);

Freestyle itself, we developed all these flat ground tricks as you saw, but there was evolving a new kind of skateboarding , where guys were taking it to the streets, and they were using that ollie, 所谓自由式,我们自创了所有平地上的技巧, 如刚刚所见,但进化出了一种全新的滑板运动, 被带到了街头, 他们就用豚跳（Ollie）,

So it was evolving upwards . 所以说实在是在不断地发展。
upwards:adv.向上;在上部;向上游;
In fact, when someone tells you they're a skater today, they pretty much mean a street skater, because freestyle, it took about five years for it to die, and at that stage, I'd been a "champion" champion for 11 years, which, phew! 事实上,现在如果有人自称为滑板手时, 所指的大抵是街头滑板手, 这是因为,自由式大概在兴起五年后就没落了, 而那期,我一直稳坐冠军的宝座, 整整11年,简直,嚯......
skater:n.溜冰者;
And suddenly it was over for me. That's it. 而一夜之间都结束了。就这样。

I'd seen someone slide on the back of the board like that, and I was like, "How can I get it over?" 我最开始看人家把滑板翻着滑的时候, 我就觉得“我怎么练得会啊？”

Just let the ledge do that, and it's easy, and the next thing you know, there's 20 more tricks based out of the variations . 剩下的都交给台阶边缘,就那么简单, 这招掌握后,还可以演变出20几个新招式, 都大同小异。

This? It goes every which way. It's like a cartoon, the falls, and that's what I love the most about it. 而这一招,就要东倒西歪,就像动画片一样, 我最喜欢这个。
It's so much fun to do. In fact, when I started doing them, 实在太好玩了。事实上,刚开始玩这招时,
I remember, because I got hurt. I had to get a knee surgery , right? So there were a couple of days where, actually a couple of weeks, where I couldn't skate at all. 我因为膝盖受伤要做手术, 有好些天,嗯,不对, 是好几周都不能玩滑板。
surgery:n.外科;外科手术;手术室;诊疗室;
It would give out on me. And I would watch the guys, 我的膝盖撑不住。于是,我就去看别人玩滑板。

So I ran up, and I jumped on my board, and I cavemanned, and I flipped it down, and I remember thinking, I landed so light-footed, thinking, if my knee gives, they'll just have more work to do in the morning. 我跑起来,跳上滑板, 我翻起滑板,落在滑板上, 我尽量轻轻地着地了,当时我就在想, 如果我的膝盖没撑住,那医生们明早多干点活就是了。
flipped:v.(使)快速翻转;按(开关);轻掷;(flip的过去分词和过去式)

This is a place not that far from here. 这个地方离这儿不远。
It's a rotten neighborhood . Your first consideration is, am I gonna get beat up? You go out and -- See this wall? 是个比较乱的地方,首先你可能会想到, 你会挨揍吗？你走进去--看到这面墙了？

This one, a little sketchy going backwards, and watch the back foot, watch the back foot. 而这一招,在向下滑时有点不顺畅, 注意看我的后脚。
sketchy:adj.写生风格的;写生的;概略的;
Oop. (Laughs) Mental note right there. Again, we'll get back to that. （笑声）这又是值得记住的,等下我们可以回味回味。
Here. Back foot, back foot. Okay, up there? 就里,看后脚,看我的后脚
That was called a 360 flip. Notice how the board flipped and spun this way, both axes . 这是360度大翻转。注意看滑板是怎样翻转 并向这边纵横旋转的。
spun:adj.纺成的;v.纺(spin的过去分词);旋转; axes:n.轴线;轴心;坐标轴;斧头(axe的复数);
And another example of how the context changed, and the creative process for me and for most skaters, is, you go, you get out of the car, you check for security, you check for stuff. (Laughter) 还有一个环境如何改变滑板招式的例子, 对于大多数滑板爱好者和我而言,最有创意的部分是 去到滑板场地,走出车子,看看是否安全, 看看是不是有工作人员在附近（笑声）
creative:adj.创造性的; process:v.处理;加工;列队行进;n.过程,进行;方法,adj.经过特殊加工(或处理)的;
It's funny, you get to know their rhythms , you know, the guys that cruise around, and skateboarding is such a humbling thing, man. 这非常有意思,你很容易就能摸清他们的工作安排, 很快就能认识巡查的人, 同志们,其实玩滑板真的是件挺丢人的事。
rhythms:韵律;
No matter how good you are, right, you still gotta deal with — 不管你有多么牛,你始终都得面临（各种新挑战）
So you hit this wall, and when I hit it, the first thing you do is you fall forward, and I'm like, all right, all right. 我得冲上某堵墙,最开始冲上去的时候, 我会往前倒,没关系,
As you adjust , you punch it up, and then when I would do that, it was throwing my shoulder this way, which as I was doing it, I was like, "Oh wow, that's begging for a 360 flip," because that's how you load up for a 360 flip. 做适当的调整, 并加大强度,而在我做调整的时候, 我得把我的肩膀像这样甩起来, 我做这个动作的时,我就觉得我的360度大翻转快练成了！ 因为这就是360度大翻转开始的状态。
adjust:v.调整;调节;适应;习惯; punch:n.冲床; v.拳打; (用打孔器等)打孔;
And so this is what I want to emphasize that, as you can imagine, all of these tricks are made of sub-movements, executive motor functions, more granular 而这正是我想强调的, 大家可以想到,所有这些招式都是有别的招式衍生出来的, 这里面的运动机制,
emphasize:v.强调;重视;着重;使突出; executive:n.管理人员; adj.经营管理的; granular:adj.颗粒的;粒状的;
to the degree to which I can't quite tell you, but one thing 我也许说不太清楚,但是有一点我却很清楚,
I do know is, every trick is made of combining two or three or four or five movements. And so, as I'm going up, these things are floating around, and you have to sort of 那就是滑板每一个招式都是由两到三种一般的技巧 甚至是四到五种技巧共同形成的。 当我向上滑时,所有的技巧就好像悬浮在空气中一样
let the cognitive mind, like, rest back, pull it back a little bit, and let your intuition go as you feel these things. 这时候就得稍微忽略掉认知思维,让它暂停一下, 而让你的直觉、感觉发挥作用。
cognitive:adj.认知的,认识的; intuition:n.直觉;直觉力;直觉的知识;
And these sub-movements are just kind of floating around, and as the wall hits you, they connect themselves to an extent , and that's when the cognitive mind, you think, "Oh, 360 flip, I'm going to make that." 这些衍生出来的招式也像漂浮一样, 而当你到达墙上时,就像一体的一样 而这时,你的认知思维就应该回过神来了。 这时你自信满满,觉得360度大翻转已是囊中之物。
extent:n.程度;范围;长度;
So that's how that works to me, the creative process, the process itself of street skating. 对于我而言,街头滑板招式的创作过程 就像我刚刚说的那样的。
So, next — Oh, mind you. (Laughs) Those are the community . 哦！小心！（笑声） 这是一个滑板圈。

These are some of the best skaters in the world. 这些人是世界上最优秀的滑板手。

And the beauty of skateboarding is that, no one guy is the best. In fact, I know this is rotten to say, they're my friends, but a couple of them actually don't look that comfortable on their board. 滑板运动之美, 在于没有人是最好的。我知道,这么说挺逊的, 他们是我的朋友 但在滑板上,他们依然不是所向披靡。

silhouette:n.轮廓,剪影;v.使…照出影子来;使…仅仅显出轮廓;
And skaters, I think they tend to be outsiders who seek a sense of belonging, but belonging on their own terms, and real respect is given by how much we take what other guys do, these basic tricks, 360 flips , 我觉得,滑板手都更倾向于户外。 他们追求一种归属感, 是由自己定义的归属感, 真正的尊重,来源于对他人经验的吸收学习, 基本的技巧、360度大翻转,
