參考譯文
當老師讓你到黑板上做題時,你是否緊張得解不出來?如果你回答“是”,你就確實是個害羞的人。
害羞意味著當你成為關(guān)注的焦點時,你會感到害怕。實際上,每個人都會時不時地有點害羞,即使是歷史上的偉人。托馬斯·愛迪生年輕時非常喜歡莎士比亞。他想?yún)⒓由瘎〉难莩?。但他太害羞了。只要周圍有人,他就不知道該怎么辦。后來,他只得放棄。但害羞并不妨礙他成為偉大的發(fā)明家。
有些專家說,害羞的人更聰明,因為他們想得多、說得少。害羞的人還擅長和別人相處,因為他們常為別人考慮。大多數(shù)人害羞時會臉紅,說話結(jié)結(jié)巴巴。這不是什么大問題。但有些人太害羞了,以致想做的事也做不成。這種害羞就有害了。下面提供幾條讓你更勇敢的好方法。
● 告訴別人你害羞。這會讓別人在談話時更好地理解你的行為并幫助你放松。
● 盡量微笑。當你微笑時,別人會認為你很友好,容易溝通。
● 學做一個健談的人。一開始,先對周圍的人說些贊美的話。這對完成談話很有幫助。
● 把注意力放在別的東西上。多想想如何享受晚會或活動。不要把時間浪費在關(guān)注自身形象或別人是否喜歡你之類的問題上。
