演讲文本

Overcome with the enormity of it all and the complete feeling of loss of control, I shed copious tears and asked my dear husband, Jayant.
经历所有的巨痛并彻底感到失去控制，我流了很多泪水，问我亲爱的丈夫，Jayant。
I said, "Is this it? Is this the end of the road? Is this the end of my dance?"
我说，“结束了么？这就是我生命之路的尽头么？这就是我舞蹈的终结么？”
And he, the positive soul that he is, said, "No, this is just a hiatus, a hiatus during the treatment, and you'll get back to doing what you do best."
然而他，这个乐观的灵魂说，“不，这只是一个间隙，治疗的间隙而且你将回来做你擅长的事。”

I realized then that I, who thought I had complete control of my life, had control of only three things: My thought, my mind -- the images that these thoughts created -- and the action that derived from it.
当时我醒悟到，我认为自己完全控制了自己的人生，但我仅仅控制了3件事：我的思想、我的情绪——这些思想所创造的想象——和由这些想象所引起的行动。
So here I was wallowing in a vortex of emotions and depression and what have you, with the enormity of the situation, wanting to go to a place of healing, health and happiness.
所以现在我沉迷于一种情绪的漩涡中沮丧，和那些令你感到情况的严酷的思绪，我想得到痊愈、健康和幸福。
I wanted to go from where I was to where I wanted to be, for which I needed something.
我想从现在的我到达我想到的彼方，这样我需要一个目标。
I needed something that would pull me out of all this.
为了达到这一目标，我需要有一股可以把我从痛苦中拉出来的力量。
So I dried my tears, and I declared to the world at large...I said, "Cancer's only one page in my life, and I will not allow this page to impact the rest of my life."
所以我擦干泪水，然后我向世界宣告，我说，“癌症只是我生命中的一页，我不会让这一页去影响我其余的人生。”
