（法新社洛杉磯 16日電） 一名獨自航海環繞世界的加州少年，今天結束旅途，平安返家，成為獨力完成這項壯舉最年輕的人。
17歲的孫德蘭（Zac Sunderland）結束旅程，踏上土地，接受家人和朋友迎接，他說：「這13個月來很瘋狂...最後回來這裡真棒。」
孫德蘭去年6月14日從馬瑞納德瑞港（Marina Del Rey）出發，當時他才16歲。他登上36英尺長的小船「無畏號」（Intrepid），揚帆朝西方航行。
去年11月29日，他在南非好望角（Cape of GoodHope）外海慶祝17歲生日。
現在孫德蘭希望出書，描寫他的冒險旅程，期望激發年輕人找到生命動力。
他說：「這個社會讓15歲到18歲的年輕人彷彿困在箱子裡，沒有人期望做大事。他們大概就希望上高中、打打美式足球，差不多就這樣。」
「生命中只要有正確的動機和正確的抱負，人們能做的就有許多可能... 我所做的就是步出戶外、挑戰困難。追求你所要的吧！」
根據美國航海協會（American Sailing Association），過去13個月長達5萬1860公里航程中，孫德蘭歷經避開大型貨輪、情緒低潮，並因設備故障而狼狽靠岸。
協會表示，至今只有不到250人獨力航海環繞世界。（譯者：中央社李威翰）
Teen becomes youngest to sail solo around world
CNN
(CNN) -- A Southern California teenager has serious bragging rights: After docking back in his home state late Thursday morning, Zac Sunderland, 17, can claim to be the youngest person to sail around the world alone.
Sunderland was greeted with thunderous applause and congratulations as he arrived at Marina del Rey in his 36-foot sailboat."It's kind of crazy to have it done now because, I mean, for the past year I've been just fighting for the next ocean, fighting to get back. And now I'm back so it's amazing," he said.
The teen acknowledged the 27,500-mile voyage wasn't easy. He told CNN that pirates off the coast of Indonesia gave him quite a scare.
"[I] had a boat circle in and ended up calling in the coast watch and they chased them off but, yeah, [I] lucked out there! About an hour and a half of hell."
Severe storms also were a problem, he said.
Sunderland's Web site says he bought the boat with his own money.
我好少會咁講, 但都好想講一句 : 我好仰慕佢 !
dreams of ours always remain as a dream, very very few of us can achieve dreams.
if i were to die today, the most accurate line to say in my funeral (as well as many other kids') would be :
she has dedicated most of her life to exams and study
如果今天我會死，我短暫的一生不過是在考試和讀書中渡過。
年輕根本就該輕狂。要玩樂，要 ' experience different things '。可惜我們經歷過的不過是一次又一次的考試，從末有時間和膽量去冒險。哪會有人這樣去體驗人生 ? 從來覺得人生苦短, 只覺得時間太少，力量太薄弱。生於香港，更覺難以有所成就。身邊人都急功近利，最在乎的不過是上哪間大學，能賺多少錢。
社會的問題。
唉，好想慢慢走去看看世界
