Learn How to Say No
We've all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We can't say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely.
When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.
學習如何說不
我們都被教導說,我們應該要幫助別人。這是應該做的事,而且這樣做會使我們受人歡迎。它甚至會為我們贏得一些回報。但是,我們必須要實際一點。我們不能答應每一個要求。如果我們這麼做,我們就一定會失敗或發瘋。有時候我們確實沒有時間去幫忙。既然如此,我們就必須知道如何有禮貌地說不。
當我們需要說不的時候,有個辦法我們可以試試。首先,我們應該要說實話。假如我們真的辦不到某件事,我們就應該說不。第二,我們應該記得要客氣地拒絕對方的要求。我們必須清楚地表達,但態度也必須真誠並且表示同情。一個真正的朋友會諒解的。最後,我們不必為了說不而覺得有罪惡感。有時候拒絕別人才是我們應該做的事。它可以替我們自己和別人,都省下許多麻煩。總而言之,我們無法一直取悅每個人。拒絕請求是人生的一部分。

I Regain Confidence
I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years. I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted. But one of the panel members told me: "You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged." My life has never been the same since. I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.
As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party. Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf. It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English. Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf. To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use. As the dwarf, I was a big hit.
Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.
A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place. The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.
Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world. I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites. I would rather be myself. I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. Please, be yourself.
譯文:我重樹信心
大學生活的幾年裡,當我參加第一次面試時,我的自信心受到了沉重的打擊。我向“學生劇團”申請出演一個主角,而且我十分自信地認為我會被錄用。但是,其中有個劇團成員告訴我:“你似乎不太合適出演這個角色,因為你的身高有點問題。”我從未遇到過這種情況。我穿著高跟鞋來彌補我的身高,採用心理策略和技巧來掩蓋自己信心的缺乏。但是,不論我怎樣努力進入角色,感覺還是缺少些什麼。
作為英語俱樂部的主席,我為英語晚會組織排演了《白雪公主》短劇。不幸的是,我們找不到合適的人選出演最後一個小矮人。這個角色必須生性幽默,英語流利。突然,所有人的目光都轉向了我,我知道那個小矮人就是我了。讓我極度奇怪而又高興的是,一上臺,我完全投入到演出中,而且我那幽默的天性被髮揮得淋漓盡致。作為一個‘’小矮人”,我取得了巨大的成功。
的確,我們中的任何一個人都是千百萬中的一員,但我們中的每個人都是一個與眾不同的個體。發揮我們自己的個性會改變我們的生活,使它們成為美麗的萬花筒。
失去了多樣性的世界是個冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲劇不是個矮、害羞或醜陋,而是將自己的個性迷失在一個克隆的世界裡,那裡到處都是典型的酷男孩或無瑕、迷人的好姑娘。
如果讓我選擇,我寧可面貌五陋,也不願生活在這樣一個世界裡。我寧可做一個伴隨“白雪公主”的真實的小矮人,也不願做“白雪公主”世界裡的一個白雪公主,而隨波逐流。我寧可作為一個真實的自我而出現。我願將自己獨特的、與眾不同的色彩奉獻給多姿多彩的世界。“走自己的路,讓別人去說吧!”
大學生英語演講比賽第一名演講稿
Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest. It is an assembly of some of China's most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.
I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.
Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.
In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.
The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.
One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, "Could you please explain this to me? I want very much to do better this time. " I started explaining, and finished in a hurry. Pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, I ran off quickly. Nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam. And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. No one ever knew about the little task I failed to fulfill, but I couldn't forgive myself. I simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "Why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? Why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?"
I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word "responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.
Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures. But never again did I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best I can.
As I grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. New buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.
New ideas, new information, new technologies. People can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. Society is becoming more competitive.
Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. Such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.
Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. Yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.
We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting. We hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.
We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.
Such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.
Such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems. History has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.
Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student. Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. But this doesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that I will be living.
Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity. But that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.
I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.
It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.
We are not going to evade that responsibility. We are going to let people down. And people, far and near, will hear of us. Frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.
