Since I was little I've always said when I'm in the U.S., I'm American,

But when she's not skiing and like in front of all the cameras, she's really just supporting everyone else around her.
但当她没在滑雪的时候，没在镜头前的时候，她只是在给予身边的人支持。
Well, it was the first week of school but I don't think she was in school, so she finally turned up to class and we still didn't really know why she was gone.

我好得不能再好了。
This is the moment I've dreamed of.

And the way that I prepare and the way that I train have remained the same.

when you have an opportunity to try something,
当你有机会尝试一些事情的时候，
always take it because the worst that can happen is you don't like it even if that means if you're the only girl in something that you're afraid to do, and overcoming, speaking up at a board, meeting or speaking up in class or sitting next to someone who you normally don't sit next to at lunch.
请你去尝试它，因为最糟糕的结果也不过是你不喜欢而已，即使你是唯一一位女生，即使你在做你害怕做的事情并在克服它，比如在董事会上发言、或在课堂上发言，或者在午餐时坐在你通常不会和他一起坐的人旁边。
Just kind of encouraging people through my participation, in an extreme sport, and my participation in extreme sport in China, competing in China.
我想通过参加极限运动，在中国参加极限运动，在中国比赛，来激励大家。
