口語原文及翻譯
I had to give a speech last week. I gave a speech to 300 people. I had to speak in front of a group of students. I had to tell them about a campaign that we were having to raise money for cancer research. Giving a speech can be a difficult thing.
上周我不得不發(fā)表演講。我向 300 人發(fā)表了演講。我不得不在一群學(xué)生面前講話。我不得不告訴他們我們正在為癌癥研究籌集資金的活動。演講可能是一件困難的事情。
When you stand in front of a big crowd, you can get very nervous. Some people feel like they have weak knees. Their legs feel as if they are made of rubber. Their heart beats very hard inside of their chest. Their palms get sweaty. Some people even become short of breath. For some people, giving a speech is their worst fear. When you give a speech, everyone is looking at you. They are waiting to hear what you have to say. When you have 300 people looking at you, you have 600 eyes that are on you. It is a little frightening when you think of it that way.
當(dāng)你站在一大群人面前時，你會非常緊張。有些人感覺膝蓋發(fā)軟。他們的腿感覺好像是橡膠做的。他們的心臟在胸腔內(nèi)跳動得很厲害。他們的手掌出汗。有些人甚至?xí)粑贝佟τ行┤藖碚f，演講是他們最害怕的事情。當(dāng)你演講時，每個人都在看著你。他們在等著聽你要說的話。當(dāng)有 300 個人看著你時，就有 600 只眼睛盯著你。如果你這樣想的話，就會有點(diǎn)害怕。
Before I give a speech, I take three big breaths. I calm myself and I remind myself that what I have to say is important. I like to be sure of what I am going to say, so I practice my speech in front of a mirror at home. I like to look like I am relaxed and friendly. They say that practice makes perfect, so the more speeches that you give, the better you will become at it. Whenever I have to give a speech, I imagine that the audience is just one big person. I look out into the audience until I find a friendly, smiling face. I focus on that person and I pretend that I am just talking to them. I've become used to giving speeches.
在我演講之前，我會深呼吸三次。我讓自己平靜下來，并提醒自己我要說的話很重要。我喜歡對自己要說的話有把握，所以我在家里的鏡子前練習(xí)演講。我喜歡讓自己看起來輕松友好。人們說，熟能生巧，所以演講越多，你的演講就會越好。每當(dāng)我必須發(fā)表演講時，我都會想象觀眾只是一個大人物。我看著觀眾，直到找到一張友善的笑臉。我把注意力集中在那個人身上，假裝我只是在和他們說話。我已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了演講。
I'm more relaxed now than I used to be. People tell me that I do not look nervous at all. I like to hear that. Sometimes I do feel a little flutter of nervousness, but I just ignore it and do the best that I can. Giving a speech is not as scary as it appears to be. Anyone can do it with a little practice.
我現(xiàn)在比以前更放松了。人們告訴我，我看起來一點(diǎn)也不緊張。我喜歡聽到這樣的話。有時我確實(shí)會感到有點(diǎn)緊張，但我只是忽略它，盡我所能。演講并不像看起來那么可怕。任何人只要稍加練習(xí)就能做到。
