2020年7月17日星期五上午8:00 (中国时间），何家伟教练带领我们来学习《Iowa 2018-4 陈中华美国爱荷华讲座英文》这个视频。
在这视频中，陈老师演示了如何在接触时破坏对手的完整性，以及如何瞄准对手的中心。

Notes:

0:30 Fix two ends, break the middle: The idea is to put a stick on two bricks, and break the middle of the stick.

0:30 定住两头打（断）中间：概念是在两块砖上放一根棍，然后打断棍子的中间。

0:55 Master Chen demonstrated Front Trick and Rear Trick. If the opponent is strong at the contact point, stretch out the opponent by rotating at the contact point, hit the middle. Don't fight at the contact point. Stretching the opponent is to make the stick very stiff, so the middle is vulnerable. If our contact (end) point is loose, the opponent's middle is very strong.

0:55 陈老师展示了前招后招。 如果对手在接触点使劲，我们要在接触点旋转来拉开对手，并击打被拉开的那中间位置。 不要在接触点对抗。 伸展对手的目的是使那根棍僵硬不变形，因此中间很容易受伤。这是定住两头打中间的应用例子。 如果接触点（两头的其中一头）松开，对手的中间会仍然有劲。

1:47 If the opponent's contact point is loose, we can get him anywhere we want. If the opponent's contact point is strong, rotating at the contact points pops the opponent off the ground, this means that opponent lost integrity. We must always maintain integrity in fighting. Integrity is the ability to connect hands and feet back to dantian.

1:47 如果对手的接触点是松的，我们可以用以牵动带它到任何地方。 如果对手的接触点很紧，在接触点旋转会使对手离地，即对手会失去完整性。 我们自己在对抗中必须保持完整性。 完整性是将手脚跟丹田连上的能力。

3:40 Master Chen futher demonstrated what integrity meant. Our fight is always looking for the opponent's position where integrity is lost. If we strike the opponent before reaching the point where he loses integrity, it makes him stronger.

3:40 陈老师进一步示范了什么是完整性。 我们在交手中是要在寻找对手失去完整性的位置。 如果我们在对手失去完整性之前出手，这只会使他的劲用得上，变得更强。

5:38 In this demo, Master Chen focused on the opponent's centre, and stretch out the opponent's centre.

5:38 在这示范中，陈老师盯着对手的中心，并拉开对手的中心。

6:00 When Master Chen touched the opponent, it was not random, he had the opponent's centre in mind. He must aim at the opponent centre. In this case, he locked the outside, and stretched the inside to facilitate the aiming.

6:00 当陈老师碰到对手时，这不是随意的，他牢牢注意着对手的中心。 他必须瞄准对手的中心。 在这种情况下，他定住了外部（两头），并拉开了内部（中间）以利于瞄准。
