Lindsay:

And how we actually did end up happening. Et comment nous avons fini par arriver. 以及我們實際上是如何最終發生的。

Lindsay:

What that actually means for you. 這對你來說實際上意味著什麼。

Gabby:

Yeah.

So we have a quote that we want to start off with from Amelia Earhart, the famous aviator. 我們想從著名飛行員阿米莉亞·埃爾哈特的一句話開始。 It's (um): “The most difficult thing is the decision to act. Це (гм): "Найскладніше - це рішення діяти. 是（嗯）：「最困難的事情是採取行動的決定。 The rest is merely tenacity.” Lindsay: 剩下的就是堅持。”林賽：

What is tenacity?

Lindsay:

We'll talk about that in another episode. 我們將在另一集中討論這一點。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Sounds good. 聽起來不錯。 Well, so we were talking about how this happened with our podcast, right, because Lindsay and I, well we got together and we were talking about how we could combine our ideas and, (you know), how to work together and we're both English teachers and we're both pretty ambitious and we like to create things. 好吧，所以我們正在談論我們的播客是如何發生這種情況的，對吧，因為林賽和我，我們聚在一起，我們正在討論如何結合我們的想法，以及（你知道）如何一起工作，我們'我們都是英語老師，我們都雄心勃勃，喜歡創造東西。 And thinking “Oh, what can we do?” So, yeah, one day, (you know), I think you asked me if I would be interested in a podcast. 並思考“哦，我們能做什麼？”所以，是的，有一天，（你知道），我想你問我是否對播客感興趣。

Lindsay:

Right.

And you said “Yeah, definitely.” Gabby: 你說：“是的，當然。”蓋比：

Totally. 完全。

Lindsay:

So we met. 於是我們見面了。 We had a coffee and we got really excited, got a lot of ideas on the napkin, and… Gabby: Nous avons pris un café et nous nous sommes vraiment excités, avons plein d'idées sur la serviette, et... Gabby : 我們喝了一杯咖啡，我們非常興奮，餐巾紙上有很多想法，然後…加比：

Yeah.

Lindsay:

…(you know) the – as they usually say. ……（你知道）——正如他們通常所說的那樣。

Gabby:

Yeah, yeah. So we decided to do it. 所以我們決定這麼做。 We decided to act and to create a podcast, but then we actually had to do it. 我們決定採取行動並創建一個播客，但後來我們實際上不得不這樣做。

Gabby:

Lindsay:

We actually had to do it and, and (you know), we got some pieces of equipment in the beginning and then we realized it was actually harder than we thought. 我們實際上必須這樣做，而且（你知道），我們一開始就得到了一些設備，然後我們意識到這實際上比我們想像的要困難。

Grabby:

Way harder.

Lindsay:

We ran into some problems. 我們遇到了一些問題。

The planning, and the, (you know), implementation and just figuring out how to do everything was (like) really much harder… Lindsay: 規劃、（你知道）、實施以及弄清楚如何做所有事情（就像）真的要困難得多… Lindsay：

Really tough.

Gabby:

…than we thought.

Lindsay:

We didn't know anything about audio. 我們對音訊一無所知。

Gabby:

Nothing.

Lindsay:

We didn't know anything about editing podcasts. 我們對編輯播客一無所知。

Gabby:

Right.

Lindsay:

(Um) we didn't know how we were going to structure the show. （嗯）我們不知道如何組織這個節目。 We didn't know what to focus on. 我們不知道該關注什麼。

Gabby:

Everything was new to us. 一切對我們來說都是新的。

Lindsay:

So all we had was the decision that we had made. 所以我們所擁有的就是我們所做的決定。

Gabby:

Right.

And a few times we had (um) technical issues, like, (you know) the audio didn't sound good. 有幾次我們遇到了（嗯）技術問題，例如，（你知道）音訊聽起來不太好。 And we thought, “Oh, we have no idea how to fix this. 我們想，「哦，我們不知道如何解決這個問題。 So what are we gonna (going to) do?” And I think… Gabby: 那麼我們要做什麼呢？”我認為…加比：

Lindsay:

We spent an entire day recording – we spent eight hours in the last weekend of summer… Gabby: 我們花了一整天的時間來錄音——在夏天的最後一個週末我們花了八個小時…Gabby：

Yeah.

Lindsay:

…the last beautiful weekend recording episodes that we eventually had to throw out. ……最後一個美好的周末錄製的劇集我們最終不得不扔掉。

Gabby:

Yeah, out.

Lindsay:

Completely wasted. 完全浪費了。 Complete waste of a day. 完全浪費了一天的時間。

Gabby:

Yeah.

So I think that was (like) the lowest moment when we were just thinking, “Oh my goodness. 所以我認為那是最低潮的時刻，我們只是在想，「哦，天哪。 Is this worth it? 這值得嗎？ Can we do it?” Lindsay: 我們能做到嗎？林賽：

Yeah.

“Can we pull through?” But we did. “我們能挺過去嗎？”但我們做到了。

Lindsay:

We did. So we had all those moments where we had to decide if we were going to be, (you know), if we were going to be tenacious and keep going. 所以我們經歷了所有那些時刻，我們必須決定我們是否要，（你知道），我們是否要頑強地繼續前進。

Gabby:

Right.

Lindsay:

And we did and now, (you know), we're so happy to be here and we're so happy to have you guys here listening to this podcast. 我們做到了，現在，（你知道），我們很高興來到這裡，我們很高興讓你們在這裡收聽這個播客。

Gabby:

Yeah, I would say it took us over a month to really get started, (like) from the time we made the decision to actually (um) having an episode in iTunes. 是的，我想說我們花了一個多月的時間才真正開始，（就像）從我們決定在 iTunes 上實際（嗯）製作一集的那一刻起。

Lindsay:

A couple of months. 幾個月。

Gabby:

A couple of months. 幾個月。

Gabby:

Lindsay:

It was a couple of months ‘cause (because) we also had to stop for another reason. 這是幾個月的事情，因為（因為）我們還因為另一個原因不得不停下來。

Gabby:

Right.

Lindsay:

And, yes. So what does this mean for our listeners? 那麼這對我們的聽眾意味著什麼？ For their English? 為了他們的英語？

Gabby:

Well you can connect this to your English learning because it's easy to decide to learn English, right? 好吧，您可以將其與您的英語學習聯繫起來，因為決定學習英語很容易，對吧？ You can say “Yes, I'm going to learn English. 你可以說「是的，我要學英文。 I'm going to improve my English, I'm going to be fluent,” (um) but the most difficult thing is (um) – well it's tenacity – it's a little different from the quote that we read, but I think I actually disagree with Amelia Earhart, I guess. 我要提高我的英語，我要說得更流利，」（嗯）但最困難的是（嗯）——嗯，是堅韌——這與我們讀到的引文有點不同，但我想我我想，實際上不同意阿米莉亞·埃爾哈特的觀點。 (Uh) now that I look at the quote again, she says “The most difficult thing is the decision to act,” but I think it's the opposite. （呃）現在我再看一遍這句話，她說“最困難的是採取行動的決定”，但我認為事實恰恰相反。 I think it's easy to decide and then the difficult part is to follow through. 我認為決定很容易，困難的是堅持到底。

Lindsay:

(Mm). Follow through is so important. 堅持下去是如此重要。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

And once you've got (sort of) a routine going, it gets easier. 一旦你養成了（某種程度的）日常習慣，事情就會變得更容易。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

Right.

So for us it's gotten a lot easier. 所以對我們來說，事情變得容易多了。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

So you need to make the decision to improve your English and then decide, get yourself into a habit. 因此，您需要做出提高英語能力的決定，然後決定讓自己養成習慣。 What are you going to do every day? 你每天打算做什麼？ And – yeah.

Gabby:

Yeah and if you have some setbacks like we did, (you know), don't give up. 是的，如果你像我們一樣遇到一些挫折，（你知道），請不要放棄。 Just think of another way around it. 想想另一種方法吧。 And, (you know), I have to say one of the reasons why we've gotten through the setbacks is because we're working together as a team. 而且，（你知道），我必須說，我們度過這些挫折的原因之一是因為我們作為一個團隊共同努力。 Right?

Lindsay:

I'm sure I would've quit by now if I were working by myself. 我確信如果我自己工作的話我現在就辭職了。

Gaby:

Yeah, me too. Me too. But (um), just knowing that someone else is out there and working on it together with you, it, it really helps so, (you know), maybe you can apply that to your English too and study with a buddy. 但是（嗯），只要知道有人在那裡並與你一起努力，這確實很有幫助，（你知道），也許你也可以將其應用到你的英語中並與好友一起學習。

Lindsay:

Definitely. Get into a study group – people who will hold you accountable, people who won't let you quit because if you're quitting, you're quitting on them… Gabby: Get into a study group – people who will hold you accountable, people who won't let you quit because if you're quitting, you're quitting on them… Gabby: 加入一個學習小組－那些會讓你負起責任的人，那些不會讓你放棄的人，因為如果你放棄，你就放棄了他們…加比：

Yeah.

Lindsay:

…and yourself, right?

Gabby:

Yeah.
