Daniel James Brown, Author: : George Pocock was so much more than a boat builder.
丹尼尔·詹姆斯·布朗（Daniel James Brown），作者：乔治·波科克不仅仅是一名造船师。
He really in many ways was a sage.
从很多方面来说，他确实是一位圣人。
And Pocock taught generations of rowers at Washington to approach rowing as if it were a craft.
波科克教导华盛顿的几代赛艇运动员将赛艇视为一门手艺。
He said, ‘When I build a shell I leave a piece of my heart in that shell.
他说：“当我建造一个外壳时，我会将我的一颗心留在那个外壳里。”
When you walk away from a race, I want you to walk away having left a piece of your heart in that race.’ He really believed that by rowing as well as you could you were lifting yourself up and making yourself better.
当你离开一场比赛时，我希望你在离开时留下你的一部分心在那场比赛中。”他真的相信，通过划船，你可以提升自己并让自己变得更好。
And if you rowed well enough, he said, ‘you were approaching perfection.
如果你划得足够好，他说，‘你就接近完美了。
And if you approach perfection, you were approaching the divine.’
如果你接近完美，你就接近神圣。”
Narrator: : Going into the 1936 rowing season, George Pocock had been a fixture at the University of Washington for more than two decades.
旁白： 进入 1936 年赛艇赛季，乔治·波科克 (George Pocock) 已经在华盛顿大学呆了二十多年。
He’d grown up in England building boats with his father at Eton, the prestigious secondary school on the Thames river, the birthplace of the sport of competitive rowing.
他在英国长大，和父亲一起在伊顿公学造船，伊顿公学是泰晤士河上一所著名的中学，也是竞技赛艇运动的发源地。
Within a few years of his arrival in America, Pocock set up shop building racing shells in the loft above the Washington boathouse.
抵达美国后的几年内，波科克在华盛顿船库上方的阁楼上开设了赛车外壳制造工厂。
An accomplished oarsman as well, Pocock became a valued advisor to Washington coaches along the way, including Al Ulbrickson.
波科克也是一位出色的桨手，他一路走来成为华盛顿教练的重要顾问，其中包括阿尔·乌布里克森。
Eric Cohen, Rowing Historian: : There was a very, very strong connection there.
埃里克·科恩（Eric Cohen），赛艇历史学家：：两者之间存在着非常非常紧密的联系。
George was a man of few words as well.
乔治也是一个寡言少语的人。
I can imagine Al Ulbrickson and George Pocock in the launch and nothing being said the entire time they’re out there except for maybe two or three words.
我可以想象阿尔·乌布里克森和乔治·波科克在发布会上，除了两三个词之外，他们在整个过程中什么也没说。
But those two or three words likely were very powerful and probably changed things along the way.
但这两三个词可能非常强大，并且可能会改变一切。
Narrator: : With the Olympics just months away, Ulbrickson was determined to put his mistakes of the previous year behind him.

Every seat in the varsity boat was up for grabs.

It was every man for himself.
每个人都是为了自己。
There was one rower whom Ulbrickson approached differently, whose raw potential he’d first spotted in a high school gymnasium, but who’d grown too erratic to be depended upon -- Joe Rantz.
乌布里克森以不同的方式接触了一位赛艇运动员，他第一次在高中体育馆发现了他的原始潜力，但他变得太不稳定而无法依赖——乔·兰茨。

And that worked for him living out in the woods.
这对住在树林里的他来说很有效。

但当涉及到船员时，这对他来说确实是一个问题。
Pocock really begins to teach him that if he wants to be great he needs to understand that he’s part of something bigger than himself.

He needs to begin to trust.
