TED演讲之生存故事 吉尔伯特·泰勒的奇迹(4)
So I got up and I jumped onto my cardio glider, which is a full-body, full-exercise machine.
我起床，然后跳到我的健身器材上，它是一个活动全身部位的机器。
And I'm jamming away on this thing, and I'm realizing that my hands look like primitive claws grasping onto the bar.
正当我在运动的时候，突然意识到我的手就像原始的爪子一样抓着扶手。
And I thought, "That's very peculiar." And I looked down at my body and I thought, "Whoa, I'm a weird-looking thing."
我想，“这真的很奇特。”我观察了身体的状况，联想到，“哇，“我看起来真是个奇怪的东西。”
And it was as though my consciousness had shifted away from my normal perception of reality, where I'm the person on the machine having the experience,
好像我的意识已经被搬离了我正常的对于真实世界的感觉，就是我，是那个在器械上保持运动的人，
to some esoteric space where I'm witnessing myself having this experience.
更深奥的说，就是我亲眼目睹我自己经历这一切。
And it was all very peculiar, and my headache was just getting worse.
这非常特别，我头更疼了。
So I get off the machine, and I'm walking across my living room floor, and I realize that everything inside of my body has slowed way down.
我走下了器械，走过起居室的时候，我意识到我体内的所有东西都缓慢了下来。
And every step is very rigid and very deliberate.
每一步都非常的僵硬而且非常谨慎。
There's no fluidity to my pace, and there's this constriction in my area of perception, so I'm just focused on internal systems.
我的步伐没有灵活性，在我的感觉范围内，有了这种约束，于是我注意到了我体内的系统。
And I'm standing in my bathroom getting ready to step into the shower, and I could actually hear the dialogue inside of my body.
我站在淋浴间准备冲个澡，我能十分确定的听到我体内的对话。
I heard a little voice saying, "OK. You muscles, you've got to contract. You muscles, you relax."
我听见一个小声音说到“好了，肌肉，现在你们必须运动。肌肉，你休息！”
And then I lost my balance, and I'm propped up against the wall.
接着我失去了平衡，我倚靠着墙站立着。
And I look down at my arm and I realize that I can no longer define the boundaries of my body.
我低头看看我的胳膊，发现我已经无法感觉我身体的界限了。
I can't define where I begin and where I end, because the atoms and the molecules of my arm blended with the atoms and molecules of the wall.
我也不知道我从哪里开始的将从哪里结束，因为我胳膊上所有的原子和分子都与墙上的原子分子融合在一起了。
And all I could detect was this energy — energy.
我能分辨出来的只有这种能量——这种能量。
演讲简介：
吉尔伯特泰勒所拥有的研究机会不是每一位脑科学家都所希望拥有的：她有严重中风，并且观察到她大脑的功能–运动，语言，自我意识-一个接一个关闭。这真是令人惊讶的故事。
