TED演讲:足球能教会我们什么是自由(1)

（单词翻译）

The two places where I feel most free aren't actually places.

让我感到最自由的两个地方并不是什么特定的地点。

They're moments. The first is inside of dance.

而是两个时刻。第一个是跳舞的时候。

Somewhere between rising up against gravity and the feeling that the air beneath me is falling in love with my body's weight.

在抵抗重力而升起和感受到我身下的空气时，我与自身的重量坠入爱河。

I'm dancing and the air is carrying me like I might never come down.

我在跳舞，空气在托住我，好像我永远也不会回到地面。

The second place that I feel free is after scoring a goal on the soccer pitch.

第二个让我感到自由的地方是我在足球场得分以后的时刻。
