第二個原則：不要害羞。
Rule 2: Don’t be self-conscious.
Suffering isn’t pretty. It isn’t meant to be. If you are going about your
business of climbing properly, you will be breathing like a water buffalo,
sweating like a chain gang, and probably have snot dribbling off your chin.
If this is not the case, you aren’t doing this correctly. Over the years
I’ve ridden with so many people who are always worrying about breathing too
hard in front of their buddy. You’re supposed to be in pain and you’re
supposed to be breathing hard, I mean the harder you breath the more o2
you’ll get to your muscles, so let the image thing go, and get down and
dirty with the hill. Anyway, if your buddy is two miles behind you, he
can’t hear you breathing anymore, can he?
這段的意思是說，本來爬坡就是會氣喘如牛，汗流浹背，口水下流。。。
假如爬坡的時候不是這樣，代表方法錯誤了...
(我比賽的時候真的口水流到滿嘴都是都不曉得... 因為實在太喘了)
可能是外國人比較愛面子，所以在朋友面前要表現的好像很輕鬆的樣子而不敢大口呼吸喘氣
筆者說大口喘氣可以吸進比較多的氧氣給肌肉使用... 不要怕丟臉，儘管用力的喘氣呼吸。
" Anyway, if your buddy is two miles behind you, he
can’t hear you breathing anymore, can he? "
"無論如何，假如你的朋友在你後面兩英里之外，他就沒辦法聽見你在喘氣了，不是嗎？"
這句足以顯示外國人愛面子的程度... 哈
(其實有這麼一點感覺.. 好像喘的比較兇就是比較虛 這原則的主題其實可以改為：不要愛面子)
Rule 4. Pedal all the way around.
Momentum is what you don’t have very much of when going up a hill. So, if you
just push the pedals down and let the chain go slack the other 250 degrees of
the pedal stroke, you will be losing momentum with each and every dead spot.
On a flat road this doesn’t matter too much, but on a hill this will cost you
dearly. So, keep the tension on the chain the whole way ‘round, especially at
the 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock pedal position. Push outward with your quadriceps
at the 12 and pull back, like you’re scraping mud off your shoes, at the 6.
This will help keep that precious little momentum from slipping away.
動能，是當你在爬坡時，擁有不夠多的東西。若您只是向下踩踏板，而讓踩踏的一圈中其他250度時的鏈條狀態是鬆弛的，那你將在每一次的踩踏死角中失去動能。在平路，這並不會影響太大，但在山路，這將讓你付出巨大的代價。因此，整個踩踏的繞圈動作都要讓鏈條保持在緊繃的狀態，尤其是踏板在12點鐘與6點鐘位置時。在12點鐘位置向外推出你的股四頭肌並拉回，在6點鐘位置時的動作，就如同要刮去你鞋底的泥巴一般。這將有助於維持住慢慢流失的珍貴微小動能。
逐句翻譯，不知道各位會不會看得很辛苦，主要的意思是說，要用到"拉"的動作，讓動作連貫，以免流失動能。
小弟的認知是，就是要用"卡踏"。
若有誤解文意，請懂的大大告知，謝謝。
