ghkkk i love kors k
AAAAAAAAA my neighbor is so awesome, he keeps giving me free sweets. I basically have a tub of ice-cream from him, and he just popped in to give me leftover birthday cake from his friend's party. SOOOO GOOOOD and it came just after I finished a bit of kaya's translations too, so yay!
Uhhh yeah. kaya asked me to help her translate an article, so... here goes? Squillions and squillions of thanks to my mui mui Sonia; without her, I would still be laughing at my horrible translations (the funniest of which being the one where I translated 蚕室 as "silkworm rearing room"-- it actually does mean silkworm rearing room, but it apparently also can be translated as Jamsil, a place in Korea? Which makes a lot of sense considering that I somehow doubt that the workout coach of a Korean celebrity would be living in a silkworm room. OH GOD, not to mention me initially mis-translating "freelancer" as FREEDOM FIGHTER...)
XD; Casey, I ignored everything under point 1 'cause I think it's just credits: "translated by Demon_nomeD", and... something about it being prohibited to... well, copy the thing around I guess; it's one of those "all rights reserved" things. This is everything under point 2, with both English and Chinese so uhhh you other Chinese people on my flist can read and laugh at me I guess. And correct me if I'm wrong because I am a very crappy translator. (Apologies in advance for Chinglish.)

==============================================
没有终止的、一直对运动的挑战虽然是我的目标，但那不是运动的终点。运动的话会发现心境更加开阔了。
Although my goal is to unceasingly and always face the challenges of exercise, this is not the final point of exercise. If you exercise, you will discover that you will broaden your horizons.
1. 天生的坚韧。
Innate Toughness
宽宽的肩膀，倒三角的背，还有那血管明显的强壮的双臂，这是运动时候的崔始源的样子。 如果回到四年前看当时的崔始源，一米八的身高只有59KG重，看起来很是瘦弱。即使是2006年拍“春天华尔兹”的时候还是很瘦。那时候的他皮肤嫩嫩白白的，颀长的双腿，还有明亮的眼神，活脱脱一个花美男的形象。“还记得当时的我吗？我估计现在的我能顶当时的两个了。因为看起来比较早熟的样子，所以年纪很小的时候就去演大人的戏了。造型师说要有大人的身材才能把那些衣服撑起来，我就在熟人的介绍下找了一个教练进行力量训练。就是在那样的契机下开始这方面的运动的。”
Broad shoulders, a triangular back, and strong arms with obvious veins; this is the appearance of Choi Siwon during exercise. If we return four years ago to look at the former Choi Siwon, he was 1.8m tall and weighed only 59kg, appearing very thin [if we look at him from today's perspective]. He was thin even though it was the time of the 2006 "Spring Waltz". The him of that time had soft white skin, long legs, and bright eyes; he was naturally beautiful. [Uhh Casey I rewrote that to make it sound less gay; the direct translation is kinda like: "he naturally had the image of a man as beautiful as a flower".] "Do you still remember the former me? I reckon the present me could beat two of the former me. Because I was always more mature than my actual age, at a young age I was acting the roles of adults. My stylist said that only if I had an adult's stature could I fill out those clothes, so I found a coach who was introduced to my by my friend to help me work out. It is precisely under this kind of opportunity that this kind of training started."
胖的人想看起来瘦一些，瘦的人变得胖一点，大家的愿望都一样，就是希望看起来正常一点。但是，在崔始源看来，他要的不是看起来强壮，而是真正变得强壮。带着意志和实践力他向着这个目标迈进。李永万教练从一开始就是始源的健身担当，回想起最初，他说道：“始源开始玩健身的时候正式他们组合一辑的活动时期，每天他都在首尔和地方之间来来huihui进行各种活动，真的是忙得不可开交。原本他就是玩篮球的，还学过跆拳道，所以四肢的敏捷性很好，体格基本还算不错，但毕竟是头一回接触这种力量型的训练。因为很忙的缘故，学的时间少，所以即使跟着学了还是会有疑问。再加上当时我是一个自由职业者，所以也没有什么正规的场所用来训练。”
Fat people want to look thinner, thin people want to become a little fatter; everyone's desire, which is the hope to look a little more ordinary, is the same. However, according to Choi Siwon, his desire is not to look strong, but to honestly become strong. With will and strength, he is taking steps toward this goal. ["带着意志和实践力" directly translates as "carrying will and putting strength into practice"-- I assume that this means USING LOTS OF STRENGTH AND WILL.] As soon as they started, Li Yong Wan* was Siwon's workout coach. When thinking back to the beginning, [Coach Li] said, "In the beginning, when he first started exercising, he would do activities together as a group. Every day he would travel to and fro from Seoul to do all kinds of activities. He was really terribly busy. Originally he was playing basketball as well as learning Tae Kwon Do, so his limbs were very nimble. His physique was already not bad, but it was still the first time that he did this kind of strength training. Because he was busy and didn't have much time to learn [ie. classes/training sessions were short], there were doubts about even continuing to learn. In addition to that, I was a freelancer at the time, so there wasn't a regular location to use for training."
其实他大可到环境舒适，设备齐全的健身房去，但是他还是选择了与自己有缘的李教练，李教练住在蚕室，他的家还有他家门前的公园就是崔始源运动的地方。“凌晨赶完日程的的话始源就会赶来蚕室。他那不会感到疲劳的体力还有他的意志真的很厉害。在公园里他会玩单杠或者肋木云梯来达到健身的目的。有人听说有艺人在公园里运动，会想过来探个究竟，即使是在那样的环境下他也不会感到不方便，仍认真地做自己该做的。那时候的他年纪并不大，但我真的觉得他很了不起。”因为日程不是自己说减少就可以减少的，所以只能缩短睡觉的时间拿来运动。
Actually, [Siwon] could have gone to a well-equipped gym with a cosy environment, but he still chose Coach Li, who Siwon was fated to meet. The park in front of Coach Li's house in Jamsil was the place where Choi Siwon would exercise. "If his itinerary was finished early in the morning, Siwon would hurry to Jamsil. He wouldn't feel fatigued, and he was truly very strong-willed. In the park he would work out on the horizontal bars or on the ladder wall bars to achieve his workout goal. Some people heard that there was an actor exercising in the park and would want to come over and watch; but even so Choi Siwon didn't feel that this kind of environment was inconvenient and still earnestly did what he had to do. He was very young at the time, but I really think he was very amazing." Because his itinerary wasn't determined by himself [in the sense that if he wanted less work time then he'd have less work time], the only time he could take to exercise was that which he cut off of the time he'd use to sleep.
*I have no idea what '李永万' is in Korean; 'Li Yong Wan' is his name in Chinese and so I'm using it as opposed to just calling him "that guy". XD; 'Choi Siwon' was originally 'Cui Shi Yuan' until my mui mui helped me find his original name-- if you know what this coach dude's name is in Korean, tell me and I'll edit the translations.
