TED 演讲 | 16岁自律女孩走红，日程安排精确到分钟，网友：别人家的小孩

- It is freezing in my house, so I'm wearing the booties that I wear for dance.

I have a super long day of school and dance.

So, let's do it! Hi, I'm Kayla Mak, and I'm a 16 year old ballet dancer.

I dance six days a week, five hours a day, and I'm a junior in high school.

From breaking in pointe shoes, to balancing school work, this is one week in my life.

Every day I have to balance dance and school.

Here's what my day actually looks like.

I try to wake up at 6:30 A.M.

I usually set four alarms.

Good morning.

-我家里太冷了，所以我穿了跳舞穿的靴子。

我有很长一天的学习和舞蹈。

所以，我们开始吧！嗨，我是Kayla Mak，我是一个16岁的芭蕾舞演员。

我一周跳六天舞，一天跳五个小时，我是高中三年级的学生。

从穿破尖头鞋到平衡学业，这是我一周的生活。

每天我都要平衡舞蹈和学校的时间安排。

这就是我今天的实际情况。

尽量早上6:30起床。

我通常设置四个闹钟。

早上好。

I eat cereal for breakfast.

I pack a pair of tights and a black leotard.

I sprint to catch the bus at 7:15.

The hardest class I'm doing right now is AP Psych.

For AP Psych.

But actually, I got a 92.

Throughout the day if my muscles are sore, I usually apply some Tiger Balm, or I do some splits out in the hallway.

After school I usually have a snack before I get on the train.

Got the goods.

Oh guys, this is my dog Tucker.

我早餐吃点麦片之类的。

我包了一条紧身衣和一条黑色紧身衣。

我7:15冲刺赶公共汽车。

我现在最难上的课是心理学。

为AP Psych。

但事实上，我得了92分。

一整天，如果我的肌肉酸痛，我通常会涂些虎膏，或者在走廊上做些劈叉。

放学后我通常在上车前吃点零食。

拿到货了。

哦，伙计们，这是我的狗塔克。

I take a train for an hour to Harlem.

I usually try to get as much homework done as I can.

And I take the subway to my dance studio.

Right there.

Before class, I stretch with my friends, and I roll out my muscles with my rolling balls.

Dance class usually last about five hours.

After class, I usually stay another hour on my own just to work on my piece.

Get day.

我坐一个小时的火车去哈林区。

我通常尽量多做作业。

我坐地铁去我的舞蹈工作室。

就在那里。

上课前，我和我的朋友们一起做伸展运动，我用滚球来伸展我的肌肉。

通常最后5个小时跳舞。

下课后，我通常自己再呆一个小时来写我的作品。

这样就是一天的活儿了。

At around 9:30 I start heading to Grand Central.

And I'm so excited.

If I didn't get my work done, before I try to get it done after.

I usually get home at around 11:00, and by then I am starving, so I eat dinner really fast.

And then I go upstairs to my room, and do the rest of my homework.

I usually go to sleep at around 12:30.

And I love when I get into my bed, it's the best feeling in the whole entire world.

Good night.

九点半左右，我开始前往大中环。

我很兴奋。

如果我没有完成我的工作，我还是会在一天结束前尽力试着把它做完。

我通常在11点左右到家，那时我饿极了，所以晚饭吃得很快。

然后我上楼去我的房间，做剩下的家庭作业。

我通常在12:30左右睡觉。

我喜欢我上床的时候，那是全世界最好的感觉。

晚安。

And then I wake up and do it all again the next morning.

Good morning.

As a dancer, you break in a lot of shoes, and it's a very rigorous process.

I kind of dread new pointe shoes.

Basically, I have to sew my elastic and ribbons on, and then try to bang on a concrete floor to get the sound out of them.

I step on them, try to make them as soft as possible for my feet.

Bend the whole body weight on there.

Banging the sound out of your pointe shoes, allows a dancer to have a softer lander when jumping.

然后我醒来，第二天早上又重复一次。

早上好。

作为一个舞者，你要穿很多鞋子，这是一个非常严格的过程。

我有点害怕新的尖头鞋。

基本上，我得把我的松紧带和丝带缝上，然后试着在水泥地上敲打，让它们发出声音。

我踩在他们身上，尽量让他们穿上的时候柔软一些。

我把整个身体的重量都压在那里。

你的尖头鞋会发出砰砰的声音，那是舞者在跳跃时有一个更柔软的着陆器。

Because sometimes, loud pointe shoes can be kind of distracting to an audience.

So when you first put your foot in a pointe shoe, it's really hard.

It's made out of fabric and wood.

At first, your foot feels pretty squeezed in there, but then after a while when you break in the shoe, your foot should be feeling normal.

Usually going up on pointe, you're basically on your tippy toes.

It is pretty painful in the beginning, but by the end it feels good.

I mean, it feels less painful.

It's first period, and my achilles is really hurting.

因为有时候，尖头鞋会让观众分心。

所以当你第一次把脚放在尖头鞋里的时候，真的很难。

它是用布料和木头做的。

一开始，你的脚感觉很挤，但过了一段时间，当你打破鞋，你的脚应该感觉正常。

通常在波因特上，你基本上都是踮着脚尖的。

一开始很痛苦，但到最后感觉很好。

我是说，感觉不那么痛苦。

这是第一节，我的跟腱很痛。

This week my achilles has been bothering me, I think it's just from all the extra rehearsals.

Usually I try to put on some Tiger Balm if it's feeling really tight, or I try to roll out my muscles using my rolling ball.

Tiger Balm is my best friend.

It is basically like an Icy Hot, or Bengay.

It just helps relieve muscles from I guess stress or tension, and it smells really good.

Some people don't like the smell.

Why?

这周我的阿基里斯一直困扰着我，我想这只是因为我的额外排练。

通常我会在感觉很紧的时候涂些虎膏，或者我试着用滚球来伸展我的肌肉。

虎膏是我最好的朋友。

它基本上就像一个特效舒缓膏。

我猜它只是帮助肌肉减轻压力或紧张，而且闻起来真的很香。

有些人不喜欢这种味道。

为什么呢？

- [Girl] It smells weird.

- I think it smells good.

It just trails, like the smell just trails with me.

So, I mean it's a win lose situation.

It smells like cinnamon.

Yeah, it's my signature scent.

After a long day of rehearsal, my achilles has been kind of bothering me, it's just been feeling super tight.

I think it's time for some Tiger Balm.

Today I will not be rehearsing.

-闻起来怪怪的。

-我觉得闻起来很香。

就像我身上的味道一样。

所以，我是说这是一个一箭双雕的事情。

闻起来像肉桂。

是的，这是我的标志性气味。

排练了一天之后，我的阿基里斯一直困扰着我，只是感觉太紧了。

我想是时候吃点老虎膏了。

今天我不排练了。

Just so my body can take a break, and I can take a nice, long bath for my really long day tomorrow.

I decided not to rehearse my piece, just because I was having some issues with my achilles.

So, can't wait to go home.

[alarm sounding] Good morning.

Right now, it is 6:15, it is Wednesday.

My legs feel like jello.

For a dancer, an injury is not very good.

只是为了让我的身体能休息一下，我可以好好洗个澡，为明天漫长的一天做准备。

我决定不排练我的曲子，只是因为我的跟腱出了点问题。

所以，迫不及待地想回家。

早上好。

现在是6点15分，是星期三。

我的腿摸起来像果冻。

对于一个舞蹈演员来说，受伤不是很好。

I mean, it's not good in any situation, but especially as a dancer, because your body's your instrument.

I'm always super careful about listening to my body, and for me stretching is the best feeling.

So, I usually take a block that I have, it's like a yoga block.

And I do some over splits just to stretch my hamstrings.

And then I try to roll out some muscles that are knotted.

Rolling knotted muscles is actually a pretty painful experience.

It's like a torture machine.

I'm kidding, I mean it does hurt.

Oh, yeah.

我是说，在任何情况下都不好，尤其是作为一个舞者，因为你的身体就是你的乐器。

我总是非常注意倾听自己的身体，对我来说伸展是最好的感觉。

所以，我通常用我的积木，就像瑜伽积木。

我做了一些过度的劈叉来伸展我的腿筋。

然后我试着展开一些打结的肌肉。

翻滚打结的肌肉实际上是一种相当痛苦的经历。

就像一台折磨人的机器。

我在开玩笑，我是说它确实很疼。

哦，是的。

But, after your muscles are super relaxed, and it just feels a lot better.

So at home to reset my body, I usually use some heating pads which help me...

Usually I use it on my lower back, so it helps my muscles release tension.

I am elevating my feet.

I was laying down on my back, and I put my feet up so that all the blood can rush out of my feet, because they were super swollen.

But yeah, just from all the rigorous dancing, and on top of all the dancing, I have to walk to and from the subway and my dance studio, which does put a lot on my body.

但是，当你的肌肉极度放松后，感觉就会好很多。

所以在家里，我通常会用一些加热垫来帮助我。

通常我用它在我的下背部，所以它可以帮助我的肌肉释放紧张。

我正在抬脚。

我躺在地上，把脚抬起来，这样所有的血都能从我的脚里流出来，因为它们肿得厉害。

但是，是的，从所有严格的舞蹈，再加上所有的动作，我必须步行往返于地铁和我的舞蹈工作室，这对我的身体有很大的影响。

I'm sprinting from my trains all the time.

Because I'm gonna get home at 11, if I make my train.

Hopefully I make it, wish me luck.

Thursday I was getting a little worried, because my achilles was still bothering me.

And so I took extra care of it on Thursday night.

My achilles hopefully will not be as aggravated tomorrow, but I'll see you guys tomorrow and good night.

Having school work is pretty hard, and I have to try to find as much time as I can in my day to fit it in.

I just got back home from dance, it is 12:00 A.M right now.

我从火车上跑来跑去。

因为如果我能赶上火车，我11点就到家了。

希望我能成功，祝我好运。

星期四我有点担心，因为我的阿基里斯还在困扰着我。

所以我在周四晚上格外小心。

我的阿基里斯希望明天不会那么严重，但是明天见，晚安。

学校作业很难，我必须尽可能多地抽出时间来适应。

我刚从舞会回来，现在是凌晨12点。

I'm going to try to eat dinner as fast as I can, and then do some more studying for my AP Psych test, and try to start an essay for English.

I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but we got this.

I'm trying to find a day where I didn't have homework.

But yeah, almost every day's a late night of homework for me.

I am going to work on my essays that is due in 25 minutes.

It's 11:35 right now, and it's due at midnight.

Wish me luck.

我要尽量快地吃晚饭，然后为我的心理测验得做更多的学习，并试着写一篇英语作文。

我不知道该怎么做，但我们得到了这个。

我想找一天不做作业。

但对我来说，几乎每天都是深夜作业。

我要写25分钟后交的论文。

现在是11点35分，应该是午夜。

祝我好运。

When my friends find out about my schedule, they're usually like, "I don't know how you do it." Like, "How do you have time for work, "how do you have time to sleep?" I'm just like, "You just gotta go with it, "you just gotta do it." It's just like Nike, "Just do it." So, I just got done with my essays, and I just made it to the deadline, thank goodness.

Let's go! A day or two before the big performance, I usually have to color my pointe shoes.

Sometimes dancers have to color their pointe shoes to match their skin tone.

当我的朋友们知道我的日程安排时，他们通常会说：“我不知道你是怎么做的，”比如，“你怎么有时间工作的”，“你怎么有时间睡觉？”我就想，“你得跟着它走，”你就得去做。“它就像耐克一样，”就这么做吧。“所以，我刚写完论文，还好赶在截止日期前，谢天谢地。

走吧！在大型演出前一两天，我通常要给尖头鞋上色。

有时舞者必须给尖头鞋涂上颜色以匹配肤色。

People use foundation or makeup products to color their pointe shoes, or sometimes the pointe shoes come pre dyed.

I use foundation and a toothbrush.

And now I am going to put them near my vent, so then they will dry.

And tomorrow's going to be a great day, so I'll see you guys in the morning.

Goodnight.

Leading up to big performances, I start to get kind of nervous.

I'm also super excited.

- [Man] Is there really, really hard part of your performance that gives you trouble when you're rehearsing it?

人们用粉底或化妆产品来给他们的鞋底涂颜色，或者有时鞋底要染色。

我用粉底和牙刷。

现在我要把它们放在我的通风口附近，这样它们就会干了。

明天会是个好日子，明天早上见。

晚安。

在大型演出之前，我开始有点紧张。

我也超级兴奋。

-[男]在排练的时候，你的表演中有没有真的很难的部分给你带来麻烦？

- Like all of it's hard.

So, the choreography for my performance was made for TV, and for TV it has to be sharper I guess, because you're portraying it to an audience that is not live.

You're movements have to be really big and super energetic, so this piece was super difficult.

The most difficult part of my routine is the lame duck.

-好像一切都很艰难。

所以，我表演的编排是为电视而做的，我想对于上电视来说，它必须更清晰一些，因为你是在向一个没有现场直播的观众描绘它。

你的动作必须非常大，而且非常有活力，所以这首曲子难度很大。

我例行训练中最难的部分是跛脚鸭。

跛脚鸭是一种恼人的行为，就是你用一条直腿做一个转身，但是你用另一条腿代替另一条腿，这很难。

每次我只是祈祷我能做到这一点，但我通常只是试着坚持基础，并保持我的基础，做一个好跛脚鸭。

A lame duck is a pique, which is you're doing a turn on a straight leg, but then you kind of substitute the supporting leg for the other leg, and it's tough.

Every time I just pray that I make it, but I usually just try to stick to the basics, and keep my foundation in order to do a good lame duck.

The morning of a big performance, I wake up and I instantly think about it.

I'm like, "Oh God, today's the big day." And usually, I start getting super nervous, which makes me not eat too much, but I do force myself to eat, because it's important to have just a good breakfast before you dance.

Can't wait to perform, I'll see you guys there.

跛脚鸭是一种恼人的行为，就是你用一条直腿做一个转身，但是你用另一条腿代替另一条腿，这很难。

每次我只是祈祷我能做到这一点，但我通常只是试着坚持基础，并保持我的基础，做一个好跛脚鸭。

我一醒来就想起了一场盛大的演出。

我会说，“哦，天哪，今天是个大日子。”通常，我开始变得超级紧张，这让我不吃太多，但我确实强迫自己去吃，因为跳舞前吃一顿丰盛的早餐很重要。

等不及要表演了，到时候见。

Getting to meet fans is the most amazing, and humbling experience.

Just to know that you've inspired people, or just to know that they've seen you dance before is just really cool.

So, the ideal flooring for pointe shoes is Marley.

It's like a texture of the floor that's smooth, but not slippery, because it has friction for the pointe shoes, so that you don't slip.

In the cases where the floor is not Marley, I have to either use rosin.

Or in this case, I did not have rosin with me.

与粉丝见面是最令人惊奇和自省的经历。

仅仅是知道你鼓舞了人们，或者只是知道他们以前看过你跳舞，真是太酷了。

所以，波点鞋的理想地板是马利。

这就像地板的纹理一样光滑，但不滑，因为尖头鞋有摩擦，所以你不会滑倒。

在地板不是马利的情况下，我要么用松香。

或者在这种情况下，我没有带松香。

We're gonna have to improvise, and I'm gonna have to use some buck glue.

Buck glue is a sticky, clear substance that you usually put under your leotard to make sure that your leotard doesn't ride up, and show anything.

Basically, I just had to rub it on my shoes, and make sure that it was tacky, and make sure that I don't slip on that slippery stage.

[heart beating]

- [Woman] So, Kayla trend.

[heart beating]

- [Man] 30 seconds, all right.

- Walking out on stage, I try to keep my breathing controlled.

But usually my heart rate just gets super, super high.

I just start breathing super heavily.

我们得即兴发挥，我得用些强力胶。

巴克胶是一种粘性的、透明的物质，你通常会把它放在紧身衣下，以确保紧身衣不会翘起来，并露出任何东西。

基本上，我只需要把它擦在我的鞋子上，确保它是有粘性的，并保护我不会在湿滑的舞台上滑倒。

[心跳]

-所以，凯拉潮流。

[心跳]

-30秒，好的。

-走上舞台，我努力控制自己的呼吸。

但通常我的心率会变得非常高。

我刚开始深呼吸。

- For Kayla Mak!

- And when I get into my beginning pose, I just take two deep breaths, and try to calm myself down.

After I take my two deep breaths, I start performing my piece.

Usually in my brain I get pretty scared for the hard parts of the piece, but then after those are done, I feel super relived.

It's the most liberating feeling, and it just gives me this environment, that allows me to be myself and express my emotions through my art form.

By the end of the piece, I get into my finishing pose, and it's just super nice.

I feel super proud of myself, and even if I didn't do that great, I just feel super happy that I got to perform.

-为了Kayla Mak！

-当我开始摆姿势的时候，我只需要深呼吸两次，然后试着让自己平静下来。

在我做了两次深呼吸之后，我开始我的表演。

通常在我的大脑里，我会为这首曲子的难的部分感到害怕，但当这些部分完成后，我会感觉到超级有活力。

这是最自由的感觉，它给了我这个环境，让我可以做我自己，通过我的艺术形式表达我的情感。

最后，我进入了我的收尾姿势，这真是太好了。

我为自己感到非常自豪，即使我没有做得那么好，我只是为自己的表演感到非常高兴。

The hardest thing about dance, is just never...

You can never be perfect.

Even though dancers are such perfectionist sometimes, it's hard to realize the fact that nobody's perfect, and you just have to keep working harder and harder.

- Make some noise for Kayla Mak!

- Nice job Kayla.

- I feel like the performance actually went pretty well considering the floor.

It was kind of slippery, so I did get a little scared on stage.

跳舞最难的是永远不要。。。

你不可能完美。

尽管舞蹈演员有时是如此的完美主义者，但很难意识到没有人是完美的，你只需要不断努力工作。

-为Kayla Mak加油！

-干得好凯拉。

-我觉得考虑到地板的因素，演出进行得很顺利。

有点滑，所以我在台上确实有点害怕。

But...

I think I was super proud of myself that I actually danced on that floor, with the Buck made pointe shoes.

And so, now I'm going to do some homework, and try to go to sleep early, because the next day is Monday, and it starts all over again.

So, yeah thank you so much for watching.

Love you guys.

但是。。。

我觉得巴克在地板上跳舞的时候我很自豪。

所以，现在我要做一些家庭作业，尽量早点睡觉，因为第二天是星期一，一切又重新开始了。

非常感谢你的收看。

我爱你们。
