偶像勵志英語演講 38:沒有人不落淚(1)

I realize the words have yet to be invented that are large enough, colorful enough or true enough to express the heart and soul to this woman I love, Stefanie.

我發(fā)現(xiàn)我找不到更確切、更絢麗和更真實的語言來表達(dá)對斯蒂芬妮的全心全意的愛。

I wonder what can I pass we say to do just the way you lived with your life and life you've changed. I began several ago on the small chalk board sitting in our kitchen. A tradition that has carried on every night but at the end of each day I have picked up the chalk and I try to express the many things she means to me. Sometimes just the brief line, sometimes the short story, but always just the over flow from a grateful heart. Any other traditions months and years relinquish nights. I have never been the shortage of ways to reflect the light, to broaden my life. And now, how ironic these too short moments I need to capture the words the saying I saw, deeply appreciating you. Maybe I can say to you the simple way. Not long ago we ran the road and I looked down from the hotel room window from the top floor of very tall high rise. I can see the roof tops of the old and beautiful cathedral. They were standing with their curved stone and marble all done so perfectly. I cannot believe the work of art we've seen that I wonder how many years it takes them to create this and what drove them to be this committed.

我不知道如何以你的人生和你改變過的人生為榜樣，來對待我們的人生之旅。就讓我從幾年前的經(jīng)歷開始我的演講吧。那時我家的廚房里放著一個寫字板。那時每天晚上，也就是一天快要結(jié)束時，我就拿起粉筆，來總結(jié)她對我的重要性，這已經(jīng)形成一個傳統(tǒng)。有時僅僅是簡短的一行字，有時是一篇短故事，但不管是什么形式，都是我內(nèi)心真實情感的流露。歷經(jīng)多少歲月，我們之間也開成了許多傳統(tǒng)。我用許多方式來回顧這些歲月，來拓展自己的生活。但是具有諷刺意味的是，現(xiàn)在，在這么短的時間內(nèi)，我找不到合適的語言來表達(dá)對你的感激。只能用簡單的方式來訴說衷腸。不久以前，我從高聳的旅館大樓的頂層房屋俯瞰下方。我看到了古老而美麗的教堂的屋頂。它們是用雕刻精美的石塊和大理石砌成的。這些藝術(shù)品是如此的巧奪天工，以至于我倍感疑惑：藝術(shù)家們得用多少年才能竣工，又是什么力量驅(qū)使他們?nèi)绱俗硇膩硗瓿蛇@樣的杰作。

背景資料：

阿加西走到球場中央，準(zhǔn)備作最后的告別演講。他本來希望能以更轟轟烈烈的方式告別，但是最終的結(jié)果卻是以1：3不敵資格賽選手本杰明·貝克爾。于是，一切就這么結(jié)束了!

曾經(jīng)說好了不哭，可當(dāng)他最后一次向觀眾們獻(xiàn)上飛吻時，終于還是泣不成聲。記憶潮水般涌來，他雙手掩面，肩膀不停地抽搐，哭得像個孩子……

作為歷史上唯一一個同時擁有四個大滿貫冠軍與奧運(yùn)會金牌的男子選手，阿加西也就此告別職業(yè)網(wǎng)球賽場。

也許，告別只是另一個開始。

也許，若干年后，人們還是那般清晰地能記起這個笑容可掬的颯爽男子。
