這場戲：父親帶他冒險磨性子
第 1 章 · 共 24 章 · 3'22"
攀巖者湯米小時候被老師說智力遲鈍，父親卻帶他滑雪、露營、爬巨巖，用冒險把他磨硬。larger than life（像個傳奇）形容父親在他心中的分量，toughen up（把人練得更皮實）正是父親的教育方式。想聊原生家庭、怎麼把人磨練出來，這兩句都用得上。
「小時候什麼都慢」：As a kid, Tommy was slow at everything
a lot of difficulty 特別吃力developmentally delayed 發育比別人遲緩Larger than life 像個傳奇toughen him up 把他練得更皮實
湯米小時候發育比人慢，兩歲多才會爬，學校裡處處吃力，老師一度跟家長說他智力遲鈍、學不會。可他的父親是練健美、又愛登山的大塊頭，在他眼裡 larger than life（像個傳奇）。父親帶他三歲上雪板、在暴風雪裡露營、六歲爬巨巖，用冒險 toughen up（把人練得更皮實）。湯米後來才懂，這是父親給他 deal with adversity（應對逆境）的能力。聊成長、聊父母的教育方式時，這些說法都很實在。
