偶像勵(lì)志英語演講 34:再相信我一次(5)

It's hard to admit that I need help, but I do. For 45 days from the end of December to early February, I was in inpatient therapy receiving guidance for the issues I'm facing. I have a long way to go. But I've taken my first steps in the right direction.

要我承認(rèn)我需要外界的幫助并不是一件容易的事，但我確實(shí)需要。在過去的45天里，從12月底到2月初這段時(shí)間，我一直住院接受治療，以引導(dǎo)我正確面對(duì)所面臨的問題。之后的路還很長，不過我已經(jīng)向正確的方向邁出了第一步。

As I proceed, I understand people have questions. I understand the press wants to ask me for the details and the times I was unfaithful. I understand people want to know whether Elin and I will remain together. Please know that as far as I'm concerned, every one of these questions and answers is a matter between Elin and me. These are issues between a husband and a wife.

在這個(gè)過程中，我知道大家有很多的疑問，我知道媒體很想知道我過去那段不忠經(jīng)歷的細(xì)節(jié)，我也知道大家很關(guān)心我跟我太太伊琳是否還在一起。不過請(qǐng)大家諒解，這些都是我和我太太的個(gè)人問題，是夫婦之間的私事。

Some people have made up things that never happened. They said I used performance-enhancing drugs. This is completely and utterly false. Some have written things about my family. Despite the damage I have done, I still believe it is right to shield my family from the public spotlight. They did not do these things; I did.

有些人捏造一些從未發(fā)生過的事情，有人說我服用興奮劑，這些都是絕對(duì)不真實(shí)的。有人寫了些關(guān)于我家人的報(bào)導(dǎo)，雖然我傷害了他們，但我仍然有責(zé)任保護(hù)他們的隱私，因?yàn)樗麄儧]有犯錯(cuò)誤，犯錯(cuò)誤的人是我。

重點(diǎn)講解：

1. as far as I'm concerned

就我而言;在我看來;

eg. As far as I'm concerned this is a good idea.

在我個(gè)人看來，這是個(gè)好主意。

eg. As far as I'm concerned, he is the right man for his job.

依我看，他是這個(gè)工作的最佳人選。

2. make up

編造;虛構(gòu);

eg. I think it's very unkind of you to make up stories about him.

我認(rèn)為你編造他的謠言很不厚道。

eg. I'm not making it up. The character exists in real life.

我沒有憑空捏造，這種人現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中確實(shí)存在。

3. shield sb. from sth.

保護(hù);掩護(hù);庇護(hù)某人;

eg. He shielded his head from the sun with an old sack.
