Having held the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years,I was
the shining star of my school.When it came to choosing the right candidate to
participate in such competitions,I was always the first choice.Naturally,I was once
again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
在过去的两年里,我举办了校际讲故事锦标赛,我是学校里最耀眼的明星。当选
择合适的候选人参加此类比赛时,我总是第一选择。很自然,我再次被选中代表
我的学校参加今年即将到来的比赛。
Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again,my classmates and friends
acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the
champion
again.Consequently,I became conceited.I was so proud that I neglected the
importance of practicing for the contest.
听到我再次被选中的消息,我的同学和朋友们都承认我毫无疑问会再次成为冠军。
因此,我变得自负起来。我太骄傲了,以至于忽略了为比赛练习的重要性。
A week before the contest,my teacher Ms.Sara asked,"Selena,would you like to
stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest?"She had tutored me in the past
two competitions and knew how important practice was."Just imagine you are on the
stage in the presence of the audience,"she added.
"I'm sorry,Ms.Sara,"I replied."I have a bit of a sore throat".
比赛前一周,我的老师Sara女士问:“Selena,你愿意站在全班同学面前为比赛
排练吗?”她在过去的两次比赛中都指导过我,知道练习有多重要。她补充道:
“想象一下,当着观众的面,你就在舞台上。”。
“对不起,萨拉女士,”我回答。“我喉咙有点痛”。
This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in
front of the class.I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I
was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary.On one occasion,I even told
Ms.Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest.In fact,I did
everything but practice my script.I only managed to glance briefly through the story
the day before the contest.As the best storyteller among the students of the local
secondary schools,I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
每当老师要求我在全班同学面前练习时,我通常都会说这个谎言。我总是找借口
避免这样做,因为我相信我是最好的,因此这种做法是没有必要的。有一次,我
甚至告诉Sara女士不要太担心,因为我已经为比赛做好了充分准备。事实上,除
了练习剧本,我什么都做了。比赛前一天,我只是匆匆浏览了一下这个故事。作
为当地中学学生中最会讲故事的人,我太虚荣了,不敢练习,希望一切都会好起
来。
