Simone: They’re about to introduce you. You’re on next. Are you ready?

他们正要介绍你。你是下一个，准备好了吗?

Gabriel: No...yes...no!

没……是的……没

Simone: You don’t look so well. Are you all right?

你看起来不那么好。你没事吧?

Gabriel: I don’t know. My palms are clammy, I’m breaking out into a cold sweat, and my legsfeel like jelly.

我不知道。我的手心湿冷，我浑身冒冷汗，我的腿发颤。

Simone: It sounds like a bad case of stage fright, that’s all. Just take a deep breath. You’llbe fine.

那听起来像是怯场，仅此而已。只要深呼吸。就没事了。

Gabriel: I have butterflies in my stomach and my mouth is dry. Where can I get a glass ofwater?

我的心蹦蹦跳个不停，嘴唇发干。哪里我能喝杯水?

Simone: I don’t know and there isn’t time.

我不知道，没时间了。

Gabriel: Oh God, if I go out there, I’m going to freeze up or get tongue-tied. I just know it.

哦，上帝，如果我去哪里，我要变成呆子或是张口结舌。我知道会这样。

Simone: Get a hold of yourself. You’re well prepared and you’ll do a great job. Okay, they’vejust announced your name. Get out there!

冷静点。你准备得很充分，你会做得很好的。好的，他们刚刚宣布你的名字。出去吧!

Gabriel: I can’t!

我不能!

Simone: The entire audience is waiting for you. Pull yourself together and get out there!

全场观众等着你。振作起来，走出去!

Gabriel: Here goes nothing!

这没有用。

You’re on 排在 break out into a cold sweat 冒冷汗 a bad case of stage fright 怯场 take a deepbreath 深呼吸 butterflies in my stomach 心蹦蹦跳 freeze up 变成呆子 tongue-tied 张口结舌 Get ahold of yourself. 冷静点 pull yourself together 振作起来 Here goes nothing 白费心思, 无望
