WhatIsRealBeauty?
YangLingyuan
本篇是96年湖南省第二届非英语专业大学生英语演讲比赛团体二等奖获奖者之一的演讲辞。
其中引用正、反两方面的事例来论述“真正的美不在外表,而在内心”这一观点的方法值得学习与借鉴。

学习如何说不
我们都被教导说,我们应该要帮助别人。
这是应该做的事,而且这样做会使我们受人欢迎。
它甚至会为我们赢得一些回报。
但是,我们必须要实际一点。
我们不能答应每一个要求。
如果我们这么做,我们就一定会失败或发疯。
有时候我们确实没有时间去帮忙。
既然如此,我们就必须知道如何有礼貌地说不。
当我们需要说不的时候,有个办法我们可以试试。
首先,我们应该要说实话。
假如我们真的办不到某件事,我们就应该说不。
第二,我们应该记得要客气地拒绝对方的要求。
我们必须清楚地表达,但态度也必须真诚并且表示同情。
一个真正的朋友会谅解的。
最后,我们不必为了说不而觉得有罪恶感。
有时候拒绝别人才是我们应该做的事。
它可以替我们自己和别人,都省下许多麻烦。
总而言之,我们无法一直取悦每个人。
拒绝请求是人生的一部分。

译文:
我重树信心
大学生活的几年里,当我参加第一次面试时,我的自信心受到了沉重的打击。
我向“学生剧团”申请出演一个主角,而且我十分自信地认为我会被录用。
但是,其中有个剧团成员告诉我:
“你似乎不太合适出演这个角色,因为你的身高有点问题。
”我从未遇到过这种情况。
我穿着高跟鞋来弥补我的身高,采用心理策略和技巧来掩盖自己信心的缺乏。
但是,不论我怎样努力进入角色,感觉还是缺少些什么。
作为英语俱乐部的主席,我为英语晚会组织排演了《白雪公主》短剧。
不幸的是,我们找不到合适的人选出演最后一个小矮人。
这个角色必须生性幽默,英语流利。
突然,所有人的目光都转向了我,我知道那个小矮人就是我了。
让我极度奇怪而又高兴的是,一上台,我完全投入到演出中,而且我那幽默的天性被发挥得淋漓尽致。
作为一个‘’小矮人”,我取得了巨大的成功。
的确,我们中的任何一个人都是千百万中的一员,但我们中的每个人都是一个与众不同的个体。
发挥我们自己的个性会改变我们的生活,使它们成为美丽的万花筒。
失去了多样性的世界是个冷漠、乏味的地方。
真正的悲剧不是个矮、害羞或丑陋,而是将自己的个性迷失在一个克隆的世界里,那里到处都是典型的酷男孩或无瑕、迷人的好姑娘。
如果让我选择,我宁可面貌五陋,也不愿生活在这样一个世界里。
我宁可做一个伴随“白雪公主”的真实的小矮人,也不愿做“白雪公主”世界里的一个白雪公主,而随波逐流。
我宁可作为一个真实的自我而出现。
我愿将自己独特的、与众不同的色彩奉献给多姿多彩的世界。
“走自己的路,让别人去说吧!
