I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days.
我也认识到，如果你真的很想做一些事，你可以连续做30天。
figured out 指出
Have you ever wanted to write a novel? Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000-word novel from scratch in 30 days. It turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month. So I did. By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you've written your words for the day.
你有想过写小说吗？每年11月，数以万计的人们从零开始，在30天里去尝试写他们自己的5万字小说。也就是说，在一个月里，你每天都要写1667个字。我做到了。顺便说一下，秘诀就是不写完就不睡觉。
tens of thousands of 成千上万 from scratch 从零开始 It turns out 结果是；也就是说
You might be sleep-deprived, but you'll finish your novel. Now is my book the next great American novel? No. I wrote it in a month. It's awful. But for the rest of my life, if I meet John Hodgman at a TED party, I don't have to say, "I'm a computer scientist." No, no, if I want to, I can say, "I'm a novelist."
你可能会被剥夺睡眠时间，但你将会完成你的小说。那么我写的书会是下一部伟大的美国小说吗? 不是的。我一个月就写完了它。它很糟糕。但在我的余生，如果我在一个TED聚会上遇见约翰·霍奇曼，我不必开口说 “我是一个电脑科学家。” 不，不会的，如果我想，我可以说，“我是一个小说家。”
sleep-deprived /sliːp dɪˈpraɪvd/ adj. 缺乏睡眠的 novelist /ˈnɑːvəlɪst/ n. 小说家
So here's one last thing I'd like to mention. I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing, they were more likely to stick. There's nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. In fact, they're a ton of fun. But they're less likely to stick. When I gave up sugar for 30 days, day 31 looked like this.
在这儿我还想说最后一件事。当我有了些小小的、持续性的变化时，我发现那些我不断坚持的事变得更容易坚持了。去做一些疯狂的大挑战一点也没错。事实上，它们乐趣无穷。但是，它们就不太可能坚持做下来。当我坚持30天不吃甜食时，31天后就是这个样子。
sustainable /səˈsteɪnəbl/ adj. 可持续的；合理利用的
So here's my question to you: What are you waiting for? I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days.
所以我给大家提的问题是：大家还在等什么呢? 我保准大家在未来的30天会经历些你喜欢或者不喜欢的事，那么为什么不考虑去做你常想去尝试的事呢？在未来30天里试试，给自己一个机会。
guarantee /ˌɡærənˈtiː/ v&n 担保 保证 I guarantee you 我向你保证 give it a shot 试一试
