從本周開始帖池,主要是學(xué)習(xí)TED素材中關(guān)于克服膽怯(overcome the stage fright)的文章。
1.I have stage fright,I've always had stage fright,and not just a little bit,it's a big bit.And it didn't even matter until I was 27,That's when I started writing songs,and even then I only played them for myself.Just knowing my roommates were in the same house made me uncomfortable.
stage fright? 怯場(chǎng)肴甸;not just a little bit,it's a big bit?? 不僅僅是一點(diǎn)囚巴,而是非常大;made sb uncomfortable 使某人不舒服
2.But after a couple of years,just writing songs wasn't enough.I had all these stories and ideas,and I wanted to share them with people,but physiologically,I couldn't do it.I had this irrational fear.But the more I wrote,and the more I practiced, the more I wanted to perform.
physiologically ?adv.生理上地庶柿;?? irrational ?adj.非理性的
3.So on the week of my thirtieth birthday,I decided I was going to go to this local open mic,and put this fear behind me.Well,when I got there,it was packed.There were like 20 people there.And they all looked angry.But I took a deep breath,and I signed up to play,and I felt pretty good.
packed?擠滿浮庐; take a deep breath? 深呼一口氣柬焕;? sign?up?? 簽到;?? felt pretty good 感覺非常好
4.Pretty good,until about 10 minutes before my turn,when my whole body rebelled,and this wave of anxiety just washed over me. Now when you experience fear,your sympathetic nervous system kicks in.So you have a rush of adrenaline,your heart rate increases,your breathing gets faster.Next your non-essential systems start to shut down,like digestion.
rebelled?(rebel的過去式)?反叛维苔,不聽使喚?懂昂;washed over ?沖洗;sympathetic nervous system????交感神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)沸柔;kicks in? 踢進(jìn),反沖進(jìn)來褐澎;adrenaline??腎上腺素工三;heart rate 心率;non-essential??不重要的俭正;shut down??關(guān)閉?掸读;digestion? 消化
