沒有四肢的尼克·武伊契奇英語精彩演講稿
i was born different. but that doesn’t stop me from living my life. and i’m happy。
我從出生就和別人不一樣，但這沒有阻止我過屬于自己的生活，而且我很幸福。
i love soccer so much and i don’t play as well as others, of course. but you know, in the world cup, there is so much anticipation and excitement that stirs up in all of us and everybody cheers for this success of their own team. and you know in all games there is losing and winning. people who moan over, you know, their team not winning and then people who get so excited when they win. everybody loves to win but we shall not linger on the difference between winning and losing. at the world cup, most of the fans around the world will experience the loss of their team. but is losing failing?
我非常喜歡足球，當然，我踢得沒有別人好。不過世界杯期間，我們所有人都對比賽充滿期待和渴望，每個人都為自己球隊的勝利歡呼。但是所有比賽都有勝負，失敗一方的球迷會感到悲傷，勝利一方的球迷則激動萬分。每個人都渴望勝利，但我們不應(yīng)該過多地關(guān)注輸贏之間的區(qū)別。世界杯上，大多數(shù)球迷都將經(jīng)歷本方球隊的失利，可是輸球就是失敗嗎?
at age 8, i wanted to end my life. i told my mom i wanted to commit suicide. and then, age 10, i actually tried. i felt like i had no hope to live. i felt like i was so different to everybody else, and there was definitely no future or hope for me. if i gave up, thinking that that was the end, i would have missed out on so much more. life is life. there are lots of successes but also lots of failures and it repeats itself again and again. should we really despair every time we go through, you know a failure?
當我8歲的時候，我就想結(jié)束自己的生命，我告訴母親我想自殺。而到了10歲的時候，我真的嘗試過自殺。我覺得自己根本不想活下去。我感覺自己和別人太不一樣，對我來說，將來必定是沒有希望的。如果當時我就放棄，認為生命就此終結(jié)的話，那我就要錯失這么多東西。生活就是生活，有成功也有失敗，如此周而復(fù)始。難道每次我們經(jīng)歷所謂的失敗就要心生絕望嗎?
you’re saying ‘oh, now i am a failure for the rest of my life.’ you see, the stairs right in front of me are a huge barrier and one step at a time is what i have to do. if i never try, i’ll never achieve anything. if i fall down, what do i do? i am gonna try again and again because the moment i give up is the moment that i’ll fail. it is so important that we don’t despair with the results that we sometimes don’t anticipate whether it’s in the soccer game or life. so embrace the path your team has taken and believe that they will try again with resilience. then you will feel the happiness in life again to be able to enjoy the world cup as a true festival as it is, a celebration. failure is not important. how you overcome it is。
你會說：“噢，如今我的余生都將是失敗的。”你看，我面前的階梯就是巨大的障礙，我必須一步一步走上去。如果我從不嘗試，就會永遠一事無成。如果我摔倒了，我要怎么做?我會一次又一次地嘗試，因為當我放棄的時候也就是我失敗的時候。我們不因結(jié)果而絕望，這是非常重要的，因為無論是在足球比賽還是在生活中，我們都無法預(yù)料將會發(fā)生什么。因此，接受自己球隊所選擇的道路吧，相信他們會頑強拼搏。那樣你就能夠再次感受到生活的快樂，能夠把世界杯當作真正的節(jié)日去慶祝。失敗并不重要，如何戰(zhàn)勝失敗才重要。
