谷的luck 南华早报报道2021年3月（世锦赛之后）中的片段，17岁的谷爱凌：

“When I was five, I was in the back seat of a taxi and the driver was poking fun at me for being a hunxue’er, a mixed kid, and I didn’t understand the connotation,” the Aspen Snowmass athlete said, letting slip her thick Beijing accent.“我五岁的时候，坐在出租车的后座上，司机取笑我是个hunxue’er（混血儿） ，我当时并不明白其中的含义，”这位阿斯彭雪堆山运动员说着，不经意间流露出浓重的北京口音。

“Looking back it was super lighthearted and most of it was probably a compliment, but he was saying I looked different or whatever. I got so mad I cried and told my mum to xia che [get out the car], that we needed to leave because this guy was being so disrespectful. My mum and the taxi driver were both just laughing.“回想起来，当时气氛非常轻松，大部分内容可能只是夸奖，但他就是说我看起来不一样之类的。我气得哭了起来，冲妈妈喊“xia che（下车），说我们得离开，因为这人太没礼貌了。可妈妈和出租车司机都只是笑。

“I thought: ‘this isn’t funny, I’m Chinese’. I’ve always had that. I’m so proud of both [my cultures]. There’s no part of me that would ever hide my identity. It makes me unique and allows me to be more open to learning about new cultures. I’m really grateful I grew up in that environment.”“我当时想：‘这不好笑，我是中国人’。我一直都有这种感觉。我为我的两种文化都感到无比自豪。我的任何部分都不会隐藏我的身份。这让我独一无二，也让我更乐于了解新的文化。我真的很感激自己成长在那样的环境中。”
