Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Today I want to tell you a story
about one of my friends,
she is good at work and study.
In many people's opinion,
she is excellent and perfect.
But one day she told me
she was gloomy and insecure.
She found that she was far from perfection.
Last week, she didn't do well in her French quiz,
and the day before yesterday,
she was late for a conference.
She felt depressed and frustrated,
because she failed to be a perfect girl
without any mistakes.
I was surprised to hear that for I thought
she had every reason to be confident.
However, the expectation of perfection
has become a burden to her.
I told her no one could be perfect
and I suggested she find her own position.
女士们、先生们，大家早上好！
今天我想给大家讲一个我朋友的故事。
在很多人眼里，她是如此优秀，近乎完美了。
但有一天她却告诉我，她很迷惘和自卑：
周围的人都认为她很优秀，
完美无缺，可以对付任何事情；
而她想得越多对自己就越是失望。
她发觉自己远不够完美。
上周她的法语测验考得不理想；
前天，一个会议她又迟到了：
很多事情做的不尽完美，这让她很是灰心丧气。
听到这些的时候我很惊讶，
我原以为她有充分的理由对自己充满信心。
然而，对完美的期望却变成了她的负担。
我告诉她，没有人可以完美无缺的，
她应该找到自己真正的位置。 |
