Day 137: New Hampshire (Ski Class)

I had my second ski class today. My instructor was an university student named Zac. I would say he teaches well, too, but he's not good at leading beginners. If I was taught by him the very first class, I'll probably freak to death and never ski ever.
今天上了第二堂滑雪課,我的教練是一個叫Zac的大學生。我會說他也很會教,但他不是很會帶領新手,如果我第一堂課給他教,大概會嚇瘋然後再也不滑雪。

Because Po-Shun told him that apparently I'm afraid of speed, he did teach me how to control speed better by making small wedges and small turns. However, I fell the first time we went uphill on the lift.
因為舅舅跟他說顯然我怕速度,他的確教我怎麼利用小小的楔形與小轉彎來把速度控制得更好。然而,我今天第一次搭滑雪電纜車上山的時候摔下來...

I do think it's necessary for someone who wants to learn how to ski to know how to get off the lift, but since Bill and Susie gave me a hand getting off, I didn't expect it to be so hard to stand up and slide down myself. Zac didn't help at all.
我也是覺得想學滑雪的人學習從滑雪電纜車下來是必要的,但因為Bill與Susie都會拉我一把,我沒意識到站起來然後自己滑下去這件事有這麼難。Zac完全沒幫我。

This was totally different from other falls. Of course the operator would stop the lift, and he did, but I could die because of not getting off. Totally freaked out!!!
這跟其他的跌倒完全不同。當然操作員會把電纜車停下,他也的確有,但我還是可能因為沒有成功下電纜車座椅而死耶,嚇死我!!!

The second time, I even asked embarrassingly if he could give me a hand, and he said no right away because he fell doing that once...
第二次,我甚至尷尬地問他能不能拉我一把,他直接說不要因為他之前這樣做跌倒一次過...

Anyway, he taught me how to control speed better but made me feel more afraid of skiing.
不管怎樣,他教了我怎麼把速度控制得更好但也讓我更怕滑雪了。
