 　　But I needed something else. I needed something to go that extra mile, and I found it in that metaphor1 which I had learned from my mother when I was four.  但是我需要另外一些东西，我需要增加我的旅程，我在意象中找到了它，那是从我四岁就学起的。

　　The metaphor of Mahishasura Mardhini, of Durga. Durga, the mother goddess, the fearless one, created by the pantheon of Hindu gods.  湿婆神的意象杜尔迦女神。杜尔迦女神，无畏的神母，由印度诸神所创造。
　　Durga, resplendent, bedecked, beautiful, her 18 arms ready for warfare2, as she rode astride her lion into the battlefield to destroy Mahishasur.  杜尔迦女神，辉煌、雍容、美丽，她的十八支手臂随时准备战斗，她乘坐神狮进入战场去毁灭水牛阿修罗。
　　Durga, the epitome3 of creative feminine energy, or shakti.  杜尔迦女神，女性创造力量的象征或者叫女性力量。
　　Durga, the fearless one. I made that image of Durga and her every attribute, her every nuance4, my very own. 杜尔迦无畏的女神。我做成了杜尔迦女神的意象和她所有的属性和特质，我专属的意象。
　　Powered by the symbology of a myth and the passion of my training, I brought laser-sharp focus into my dance, laser-sharp focus to such an extent that I danced a few weeks after surgery.  在她那种神秘符号的推动下，并伴随着我对训练的热情，我像激光刀般精准的专注于我的舞蹈，像激光刀般专注这样一个领域，在手术之后我跳了几周的舞。
　　I danced through chemo and radiation cycles, much to the dismay of my oncologist.  在化疗和放射疗法的治疗周期我依然跳舞，我的治疗医生很惊异。
　　I danced between chemo and radiation cycles and badgered him to fit it to my performing dance schedule.  我在化疗和放射的期间跳舞，我纠缠着让他使治疗周期配合我的舞蹈计划。
　　What I had done is I had tuned5 out of cancer and tuned into my dance. Yes, cancer has just been one page in my life. 我所成就的是我摆脱了癌症，专注于我的舞蹈，是的，癌症只成为我生命中的一页。
