  Anti-bullying advocate Lizzie Velasquez speaks on stage about her brand new documentary A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story at the 2015 SXSW Festival this past weekend.

  上周末的2015年SXSW节上,反欺凌倡导人莉齐·维拉斯克兹上台宣讲了她的新纪录片《勇敢的心:莉齐·维拉斯克兹的故事》。

  The 26-year-old inspiring young woman was once deemed “The World’s Ugliest Woman” in a disgusting YouTube video, and instead of taking it lying down, she has fought back against bullying. Lizzie has a YouTube channel and vlogs about her story, delivered a TED Talk that went viral, and has spoken in front of Congress in support of anti-bullying legislation.

  这名26岁的励志年轻女性曾在Youtube一个令人作呕的视频中被称作“世界上最丑的女人”,她对欺凌作出了反击,而不是任人宰割。莉齐有一个YouTube的频道博客讲述她的故事,她的TED演讲有着病毒般的感染力,并在国会前宣讲来支持反欺凌法。

  Lizzie has a rare congenital condition that does not have a name. The condition affects her eyes, her immune system, and causes her to have 0% body fat.

  莉齐有着罕见的先天性疾病(甚至叫不出名字)。这种状况影响了她的眼睛,她的免疫系统,并导致了她的身体完全0脂肪(瘦到令人发指)。

  以下是莉齐·维拉斯克兹为我们分享怎样建立自信(多么励志感人英语君在哭泣TT):

  1.Be yourself.

  做你自己。

  As it turns out, the oldest advice in the book is also the most effective.

  事实证明,最古老的建议也是最有效的。

  “You have to be fully aware and confident that you are enough just being you,” Velasquez said. “That’s enough! You don’t have to live up to anyone else’s standards, you don’t have to look like anyone else, you don’t have to compare yourself to anyone else. You being you is enough, and you putting your positivity and good vibes out into the world, once you get to that point absolutely everything will fall into place. Whether it’s your personal life, your work life, your school life, your confidence, everything will fit once you believe in yourself.”

  “你必须完全自信的意识到,做自己就足够了,”维拉斯克兹说。“这就足够了!你不需要达到别人的标准,你不需要像别人一样。你不需要把自己和别人相比。做自己已足够。积极向上面对这个世界,做到这一点,你的生活就会变得有条不紊。无论是你的个人生活,工作,学习生活,你的自信,只要相信自己,所有事情都会变得井然有序。”

  2.Roll with the punches.

  从容应付困难。

  “It’s been my style for so long to just roll with the punches and whenever something comes up you get, really, to just tackle it and enjoy it,” she said. “I actually made up my TED Talk as I was going. I had it planned for three weeks, and as I was walking up onstage I looked at [the TED organizers]. I was like, ‘listen, don’t freak out. I just need you to trust me, but I’m changing everything we planned.’ She looked at me with big eyes and took a deep breath and said, ‘I trust you.’ So I walked up and told myself to pretend you’re talking to your best friend.” Velasquez’s TED Talk has millions of views.

  “我一直都我行我素,从容应付困难。无论什么时候,你遇到了什么事情,你去处理它,享受它。我就是这样构建我的TED演讲的。我准备了三个星期。走上台的时候,我看到了TED的组织者。我说,‘听着,不要紧张。我只需要你信任我,但是我要改变所有计划好的演讲。’她睁大眼睛看着我,深呼吸说,‘我信任你。’所以我走上台,告诉自己假装在和你最好的朋友讲话一样。”维拉斯克兹的TED演讲拥有好几百万的浏览量。
