- Hello everyone, and welcome back to English with Lucy.

哈囉~ 歡迎回來到 English with Lucy

現在進行式

My little brother and I were reading comments

有一天我弟和我看了我的一個視頻中評論

and he pointed out one which really made me feel sad.

而他指出了一個讓我感到難過的一點

And I don't know if it was the wording of it,

有人覺得因為他們是一個害羞的人

they can learn a language because they are a shy person

so I decided to make this video to help motivate you all,

所以我決定做這個影片 以激勵大家

I receive a lot of messages about confidence,

我收到了很多跟信心有關的訊息

people saying oh, I wish I was confident like you,

他們說 "啊! 我希望我可以跟你一樣有信心"

I can feel so, so shy, and so, so nervous.

我也會感覺超級害羞 還有超級緊張

If you check out the last part of most of my videos,

如果你有看我大多數影片的最後一部分

that I mix up my words, and make mistakes.

When I have to speak publicly, I often feel so, so shy.

當我要公開發言時 我常常覺得超級害羞

But there are plenty of things that I do,

and I have learned to do over the past few years,

我做過的事情 還有我學會做的事情

第一個 這是一個眾所周知的技巧

but I really believe in it, fake it 'til you make it.

但我真的相信 "假裝它直到你辦到它"

And most importantly, don't tell people that you feel shy.

最重要的是 不要告訴別人你覺得害羞

Almost a year ago, I was invited to speak about my business

大概一年前 我受邀了談論我的生意

And my parents were watching, and my boyfriend,

而我的父母跟我的男朋友都在看

I was so nervous, but I think I handled it

I didn't tell anyone that I was feeling shy.

It's okay to be nervous, but don't say you're shy.

Saying you're nervous is okay, but saying you feel shy,

說你很緊張沒關係 但是如果說你感到害羞

I think is quite a negative thing to say,

我認為是一個有一點消極的事情

and it might influence the way people think about you.

它可能會影響到人們對你的看法

I pretended that I was really, really confident,

我那時候假裝我非常非常得自信

and that I do this kind of thing all the time.

When in reality, it was my first time speaking

事實上 那是我第一次在如此多的觀眾面前談論自己

about myself in front of such a large audience.

I was scared that the person organising the event

我怕在我男朋友面前讓自己尷尬

I was scared of disappointing my parents.

and I'm pretty convinced that no one knew

It was also being filmed and put on YouTube.

那個影片也被錄下來放到 YouTube上了

I will leave the link in the description box.

So that was an extra layer of nervousness for me.

所以這對我來說 又是另一個層次的緊張感

我事先去外面深呼吸並放鬆自己

and it ended up going really, really well.

Not only are you nervous about speaking to someone,

你不但會為跟別人說話感到緊張

You need to pretend that you're confident.

You can try lowering your voice slightly.

So instead of speaking up here, really nervously,

and have it echo across the room. (laughs)

並讓回音在整個房間環繞 （哈哈）

Work on your posture, feet apart, nice and tall,

站好你的姿勢 雙腳分開 漂亮又高大

shoulders relaxed, really show the other speaker

And as I said before, don't tell anyone you're shy,

正如我之前所說 不要告訴任何人你很害羞

and then you might regret having told someone

I often want to see how an expert does it.

If you really want to learn how to be more confident,

如果你真的想學習如何變得更自信

you need to listen to experienced and confident speakers.
