Well, let me tell you something. After two and a half hours—even though they told me that I shouldn't train that much or I would get really sore—I left the gymnasium, I rode my bicycle home. And after the first mile I got numb, and I couldn't feel anymore the handle of the bicycle, and I fell off the bike and I fell into the ditch on the side of the road. So I got up again and I tried it again. Another few yards, I fell off the bicycle again. And I tried it three, four more times, and I just couldn't ride my bicycle because my body was so numb and my legs felt like noodles.
让我告诉你们，尽管他们告诉我不能练那么久，否则会浑身酸痛，但我训练了两个半小时，然后离开健身房骑车回家。刚走一英里，我顿觉四肢麻木，连车把都感觉不到了，结果整个人从车上摔下来，掉进了路边的水沟里。我站立起来，又试了一次，但没骑多远又摔了下来。接下来我又试了三四次，但依旧不行，因为我全身异常酸麻，感觉腿就像面条一样软弱无力。
Well, let me tell you something. The next morning when I got up, my body was so sore that I couldn't even lift my arms to comb my hair. I had to have my mother comb my hair, and you know how embarrassing that is. But you know something? I learned a very important lesson, that pain means progress. Pain is progress. Each time my muscles were sore from a workout I knew that they were growing and they were getting stronger.
第二天早上起床，我浑身酸痛，连举手梳头都无能为力，只好叫我母亲帮我梳头——这真令人难堪！可你们知道吗，我获得了一个非常重要的教训：疼痛意味着进步。要想进步就得吃苦。每次我因过度训练而感觉肌肉酸痛时，我都知道，我的肌肉在增长、在强壮。
I think there is a real life lesson in that. After two or three years of discipline and determination and working out hard, I actually changed my body, and I changed my strength. And that told me something; that if I could change my body that much, and if I could change the strength of my body that much, then I could also change anything else. I could change my habits, I could change my intelligence, I could change my attitude, my mind, my future, my life. And this is exactly what I have done. I think that that lesson applies to people, and it also applies to countries. You can change, China can change, everyone in the world can change.
我认为，那其中蕴含着人生真谛。经过两三年意志上的磨练和体力上的锻炼，我最终改变了我的身体，我的力气也变大了。这件事告诉我，如果能在很大程度上改变我的身体，增强我的力气，我就能改变其他的一切：我能改变不好的习惯，能增强我的智慧，能改变我的态度、思想以及我的未来和我的人生。事实上我已经做到了。我想，这一教训也适用于任何人，也适用于任何国家。你们可以改变，中国可以改变，世界上每一个人都可以改变。
