英文演讲录 拉什米卡：保持微笑的魔力(2)

I mean cry on screen, I'm sorry. So yeah, I think that is the one thing I can't do.

对不起，我是说在屏幕上哭。 所以，我认为这是我唯一不能做的事。

But I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what to say nowadays I see women doing so many things.

但是，现在看到女人可以做很多事情，我都不知道该说什么了。

Women accomplishing¹ so many things in different fields.

女性在不同的领域完成了很多事情。

And I feel too little. I feel like, what am I doing? I don't know. Is it good enough?

我感觉自己做的太少了，我在做什么？我不知道，我做的够吗？

Is it enough for me to get all of this love and appreciation² for something so small that I'm doing? I don't know. I don't.

对于我正在做的这么小的事情，却得到所有的爱和欣赏，我值得吗？我不知道。

I still feel like this is not enough, and I want to do a lot more.

我依然觉得这还不够，我还想做更多。

And well, I'm just a girl from a small town in Karnataka called Virajpet in Kodagu district.

我只是一个来自卡纳塔克邦科达古区维拉杰特小镇的一个普通女孩。

I don't know if you guys are aware of it. From there I don't know how my life has happened.

我不知道你们是不是知道那个地方，在那里，我还不知道我的生活会发生什么。

I don't know at the age of 23; I'm here talking to such a gathering³.

我不知道在23岁的时候，我会在这里，这样一个场合演讲。

But I'm, I'm glad that I am, and I don't know if I want to say that I'm proud of myself yet because I don't think I'm done yet.

我很高兴我做到了，我为自己感到骄傲，可能是我认为我还没有完成一些事情。

I've just started, and I feel like I'm in the process of getting myself a huge, big loving kingdom that I'm going to create for myself.

我的人生才刚刚开始，我感觉我正在为自己建立一个巨大的充满爱的王国。

And why I started saying this is if I, a girl from Kodagu, can do this then imagine you guys from Hyderabad what you're capable⁴ of.

我之所以这么说，是因为如果我，一个来自科达古的女孩，都能做到这一点，那么想象一下你们海得拉巴的朋友们的能力吧。

I think women are capable of doing anything they want in this world. And I hope one day all of you make your dreams come true.

我认为女人有能力在这个世界上做任何她们想做的事。我希望有一天你们所有人都能梦想成真。

Please dream big. I'm sorry if the speech is too boring.

请一定要有远大的梦想。我很抱歉可能我的演讲会有点无聊。

But I just want to say, dream big, do not give a break, keep working hard, keep working hard.

但是我只想说，要有远大的梦想，不要放松，坚持不懈努力工作。

It's okay if someone is laughing at you. It's okay if someone is pulling your leg, pulling you back down, it's okay.

如果有人嘲笑你也没关系。如果有人捉弄你，把你拉下来，那也没关系。

You just keep working hard. You just keep looking up at the sky and reach your goals no matter what anyone else says.

你只需要努力工作。不管别人怎么说，仰望天空，脚踏实地实现目标。

Because if you cannot protect yourself and dream for yourself, nobody else can. Truly, trust me. I've been there.

因为如果你不能保护自己，不能为自己梦想奋斗，没人可以帮你。真的，相信我，我经历过。

I've done that, and now I'm in the process of getting there, and I think I will get there pretty soon.

我已经做到了，现在我正在实现目标的路上，我想我会成功的。

I hope all of you join me and thank you so much for doing such a wonderful program like this and having me as a part of it.

我希望你们所有人都像我一样坚持努力，非常感谢你们做了这样一个精彩的节目，让我参与进来。

Means⁵ a lot, feel really, I'm truly grateful⁶ honestly. Thank you so much, and sorry if I have bored you.
