Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judodespite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.
有时你最大的弱点可以成为你最大的力量。采取,例如,一个10岁的男孩谁决定研究judodespite的事实,他在一场车祸中失去了左臂的故事。
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.
他师从一位年长的日本柔道大师。他做得很好,但他不明白为什么,经过三个月的培训,老师只教他一个动作。
"Sensei," the boy finally said, "shouldn't I be learning more moves?"
“老师,男孩最后说,“我不能学习更多的动作?
"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied.
“这是你所知道的唯一的动作,但这是你唯一需要知道的动作,老师回答道。
Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.
不太了解,但在他的老师认为,男孩继续训练。
Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.
几个月后,老师带他去参加他的第一次比赛。
Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly(熟练地) used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.
令人惊奇的是,他轻松地赢了头两场比赛。第三场比赛似乎更难,但经过一段时间后,他的对手开始心浮气躁;男孩灵巧(熟练地)用他一的一招赢得了比赛。更令人惊讶的是,这个男孩现在在总决赛。
This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.
这一次,他的对手更大,更强,更有经验。一会儿,男孩就显得有点力不从心。考虑到男孩可能会受伤,裁判叫了暂停。他正准备停止比赛的时候,老师干预。
"No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue."
“不,老师说,“让他继续。
Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.
比赛重新开始不久,他的对手犯了一个致命的错误:他防守。瞬间,男孩用自己的行动向他的脚。男孩赢得了比赛。他是冠军。在回家的路上,回顾了每场比赛中的每个动作的孩子和老师。男孩终于鼓起勇气问了心中的疑惑。
"Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"
“师傅,我怎么会用一个动作就赢得了这场比赛?
"You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."
“你获胜有两个原因,师傅回答说。第一,你已经基本掌握了一个柔道最难动作。第二,唯一已知的防御动作,被对手抓住你的左手。
The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.
男孩最大的弱点变成了他最大的优势。
