M: Hi Nancy! You look worried. What's wrong?
你好,南希!你看起来忧心忡忡,怎么了?
W: Well Danicl, have you ever felt nervous on stage?
丹尼尔,你在舞台上紧张过吗?
M: Sure. Do you remember that play I was in a few years ago? I knew my lines, but I was terrified to have to recite them in front of an audience. As soon as I saw the crowd of people down there, my heart beat so fast that I was unable to say a single word.
当然。你还记得几年前我演的那部话剧吗?我知道自己的台词,但我害怕在观众面前背台词,我一看到下面的人群心就跳得特别快,以至于当时我一个字也说不出来。
W: That's how I feel just thinking about the spelling competition next week.
想到下周的拼写比赛我就有这种感觉。
M: I didn't know you made it to the finals.
我还不知道你进入了决赛呢。
W: I'm worried I'll get nervous and freeze on stage. I might forget how to spell everything, even my own name. I don't know what to do.
我担心我会紧张,会在舞台上僵住。到时候我可能什么都不记得了,甚至连我自己的名字都不记得了。我不知道该怎么办。
M: Nancy, I know that you re not going to forget how to spell your name. I'll help you get through this. I'll go to the school hall with you to practice. Then I'll teach you an exercise my baseball coach taught me. Believe me. It works.
南希,我知道你不会忘记怎么拼写自己的名字,我会帮你度过难关的。我和你一起去学校礼堂练习,我来教你一个我的棒球教练教我的练习,相信我,很管用。
W: I feel much better now. Thanks, Daniel.
我现在感觉好多了,谢谢你,丹尼尔。
