○  Ted英语演讲稿：How I held my breath for 17 minutes如何憋气17  ○

sed with Houdini and his underwater challenges. So, I began, early on, competing against the other kids, seeing how long I could stay underwater while they went up and down to breathe, you know, five times, while I stayed under on one breath. By the time I was a teenager I was able to hold my breath for three minutes and 30 seconds. I would later find out that was Houdini's personal record.

　　作为一个年轻的魔术师 我沉迷于霍迪尼和他在水下屏气挑战。 孩童时候，我就开始与其他的孩子们比试， 看可以在水下待多久， 当他们得反复探头出水面呼吸， 大概5次之多，我却可以一直待在水下，完全不需要换气。。 当我是青少年的时候 我已经可以水下屏气达3分30秒之久， 后来我才发现那就是霍迪尼的个人纪录。

　　In 1987 I heard of a story about a boy that fell through ice and was trapped under a river. He was underneath, not breathing for 45 minutes. When the rescue workers came they resuscitated him and there was no brain damage. His core temperature had dropped to 77 degrees. As a magician, I think everything is possible. And I think if something is done by one person it can be done by others. I started to think, if the boy could survive without breathing for that long, there must be a way that I could do it.

　　在1987年，我听说了一个故事， 一个男孩掉进冰封的河里， 困于河底。 他45分钟内没有呼吸。 当救援人员赶到 抢救并唤醒他时，发现他并没有脑损伤， 他的心脏温度降至77度。 作为一个魔术师，我相信一切皆有可能。 我认为如果某个人可以做到某件事， 那么任何人都可以做到。 我开始思索，如果这个男孩 可以如此长时间不呼吸而活下来， 那么必定有某种途径让我也可以做到。

　　So, I met with a top neurosurgeon. And I asked him, how long is it possible to go without breathing, like how long could I go without air? And he said to me that anything over six minutes you have a serious risk of hypoxic brain damage. So, I took that as a challenge, basically. (Laughter) My first try, I figured that I could do something similar, and I created a water tank, and I filled it with ice and freezing cold water. And I stayed inside of that water tank hoping my core temperature would start to drop. And I was shivering. In my first attempt to hold my breath I couldn't even last a minute. So, I realized that was completely not going to work.

　　于是我找了最好的神经科医师， 问他人若是不呼吸最长支撑多久， 也就是哪怕连空气都没有我能撑多
