Being that hungry has left an interesting mental scar,which is that I've been hoovering up every hotel buffet that I can find.

I don't regret calling for that plane for a second,because I'm still standing here alive,with all digits intact, telling this story.
我并不后悔 呼叫了那趟飞机，因为我还活着站在这儿，记述所有细节 诉说着这个故事。
But getting external assistance like that was never part of the plan,and it's something my ego is still struggling with.
但是获得那样的额外援助 绝不是计划的一部分。这也是我的良心仍旧苦苦挣扎的地方。
This was the biggest dream I've ever had,and it was so nearly perfect.

On the way back down to the coast,our crampons a” they're the spikes on our boots that we have for traveling over this blue ice on the glacier broke on the top of the Beardmore.
再回海岸的路上，我们的破冰撬，他们是我们，在这个蓝色冰川上行进的砥柱坏掉了。就在本德穆尔冰川制高点。

We fell through more times than I can remember,usually just putting a ski or a boot through the snow.

Occasionally we went in all the way up to our armpits,but thankfully never deeper than that.

And less than five weeks ago, after 105 days,we crossed this oddly inauspicious finish line,the coast of Ross Island on the New Zealand side of Antarctica.
五周前，也就是105天后，我们越过了终点线。在亚特兰地新西兰的罗斯群岛海岸线。

We'd made the longest ever polar journey on foot,something I'd been dreaming of doing for a decade.
我们曾徒步走完了有史以来最长的极圈旅程，这我已梦想了几十年了。
And looking back,I still stand by all the things I've been saying for years about the importance of goals and determination and self-belief,but I'll also admit that I hadn't given much thought to what happens,when you reach the all-consuming goal that you've dedicated most of your adult life to,and the reality is that I'm still figuring that bit out.
回首往事，我依然支持我数年来所说的有关目标，决心，及自信的重要性，但我也承认我并未充分考虑，当你完成所有预定目标时会发生的事这些目标是你成人生活中为之贡献一生的，现实就是，我还在想要阐明它。
As I said, there are very few superficial signs that I've been away.

If I'm honest,Antarctica challenged me and humbled me so deeply that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to put it into words.

I'm still struggling to piece together my thoughts.
我仍在竭力重组我的想法。
That I'm standing here telling this story is proof that we all can accomplish great things,through ambition, through passion,through sheer stubbornness,by refusing to quit,that if you dream something hard enough, as Sting said,it does indeed come to pass.
我站在这儿讲这个故事的原因就是，为了证明我们都能完成伟大的事情。通过雄心，通过激情，通过傲慢，固执，通过拒绝离开，如果你梦想的事足够艰难，正如斯蒂芬说过的，它确然能实现。
But I'm also standing here saying, you know what,that cliche about the journey being more important than the destination?
但我也站在这儿告诉你们，你们应当知道的是，路途远必目的地重要？
There's something in that.
有据可循。
The closer I got to my finish line,that rubbly, rocky coast of Ross Island,the more I started to realize that the biggest lesson,that this very long, very hard walk might be teaching me，is that happiness is not a finish line, that for us humans, the perfection that so many of us seem to dream of might not ever be truly attainable,and that if we can't feel content here, today, now, on our journeys amidst the mess and the striving that we all inhabit,the open loops, the half-finished to-do lists,the could-do-better-next-times,then we might never feel it.
我越靠近我的终点线，罗斯群岛粗陋的海岸，我越发开始意识到这次很长，很难的徒步，带给我的最大教训，那就是对我们人类来说，幸福不是终点线，我们许多人所梦想的完美也许遥不可及。如果我们不能在此时，此地，此行中感到知足，承认我们继承的混乱与无序，打开的屋顶完成一半的清单，也许下次会更好的想法，那我们可能永远感受不到它。
A lot of people have asked me, what next?
许多人曾问过我，接下来呢？

Thank you.
