【影片推薦——EK破二BBC紀錄片】
上月，BBC播出了全馬世界紀錄保持者Eliud Kipchoge（EK）去年在維也納破二的紀錄片。
片長約半小時，是一次十分清爽的回顧，先由EK聲名鵲起，再簡明說到他歷來的豐功偉蹟。而重點，當然放在維也納一戰，期間的訪問選材也非常有心思，例如他們在現場就找來了環法單車賽四屆冠軍弗洛姆（Chris Froome）。為何要訪問他？除了因為他是英國體壇國寶，也因為這他是在EK家鄉肯亞出生！
當時我有看live，如今重溫，情景仍然令人激動。EK最後衝線幾百米，那位旁述尤其精彩。我忍不住把它錄下並中譯，姑且一併為諸君呈上，好讓大家一起欣賞人家的體育旁述是何等水準：
He is sprinting into the history book here that cheering him on. 400m to go let's bring him home. This is history unfolding on the streets of Vienna this morning. It's a Saturday run like we've never seen before. Listen to the noise! The crowd getting right behind him. Goodness me 300 meters to go. He can see the finish line here. Neil Armstrong we had on the moon in 1969; We've Roger Bannister the four-minute mile 65 years ago; Edmund Hillary the first man to climb Everest in 1953. We've one minute to go. Eluid Kipchoge, he's on his way here. This humble farmer who used to run two miles to school every day and back. He used to go to the nearest town on his bike to sell milk at the local market. Now through hard work and discipline, he's pointing. "Come on!" he said, Eliud Kipchoge has the hand of history on his shoulder. He has lesser 200 meters to go. Eliud Kipchoge let's keep it on the clock into the final 20 seconds! Eliud Kipchoge storms into the history books in Vienna! 1:59:40 the unofficial time. The first man to run a marathon in under two hours! One final lung-busting stride to Kipchoge! One giant leap for human endeavor! And you know, Kipchoge was right - no human is limited.
【蝦譯】
令他雄心萬丈的歷史時刻，他正一直奔往。只餘四百米了，去吧，一段歷史正寫在今晨維也納的街上，這是我們前所未見的一趟周六跑。聽現場的歡呼，人群都給他甩在後頭。天啊，只剩三百米了，他已可見到終點了。岩士唐在1969年登陸月球，班尼斯特在六十五年前一英里破四，希拉里在1953年首登珠峰，而我們則尚待多一分鐘。EK，他快到了，這位曾幾何時要每天跑兩英里往返學校，踏單車去就近市場賣牛奶的一介農民，憑藉努力與紀律，他如今直指目標。「來吧！」他說，EK即將締造歷史。僅餘二百米，EK，請在餘下20秒創造紀錄吧！EK昂然在維也納締造歷史！1:59:40！非官方時間！他是首個全馬破二的人！撕心裂肺的一段衝刺，人類毅力的一大躍進！EK確是對的——人無極限！
