亮剑 show [英][ʃəʊ] [美][ʃo] 中英文小故事：敢于亮剑 跑道上第一步的领先很可能意味着最终的胜利，所以你一生的成败得失，或许取决于你是否敢于亮出你自己。 作为学生，我最害怕在课堂上回答问题，而且我发现周围的同学也和我一样。每次上课， 当教授提问时，我总是习惯把头低下去，生怕教授的眼光扫到自己。 一次外语课上，一位来自商业银行的专家讲演。讲演者总是希望有人配合自己。于是，他问道，教室内有多少学过经济学的同学。可是，没有一个人响应。专家苦笑了一下说：“我先给你们讲个故事。” “我刚到美国读书时，大学里经常有讲座，每次都是请华尔街或跨国公司的高级管理人 员来讲演。 “每次开讲前，我发现一个有趣的现象，我周围的同学总是拿一张硬纸，中间对折一下， 用粗体和极其醒目的颜色写上自己的名字，然后放在座位上。于是，讲演者需要听者响应时， 就可以直接看名字叫人。” “我不解，便问前面的同学。他笑着告诉我，讲演人都是一流人物，他们就意味着机会。 当你的回答让他满意或吃惊时，很有可能就预示着他会给你提供更多机会。这是一个很简单的道理。” “事实也是这样，我确实看到我周围的几个同学因出色的见解而到一流公司任职。这件事对我影响很大。机会不会自动找到你；你必须不断亮出自己，吸引别人关注，才有可能找到机会。 Dare to Show On the course, the first step of the lead is likely to mean the final victory, so the success and failure, or gain and loss of your life may lie in whether you dare to show yourself. As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the professor asked a question, I always lowered my head, for fear that the professor saw me. In a foreign language class, an expert from the Commercial Bank delivered a lecture. The speaker always wanted someone to be in concert with him, so he asked how many students in the classroom 丨earned economics, but no one responded. The expert said with a wry smile, “Let me tell you a story first.” “When I came to the United States to study, there are often lectures delivered in the university. Each time they invite an executive: from Wall Street or a transnational company to make a speech. "Before the beginning of every lecture, I found an interesting phenomenon. The students around me always took a cardboard folded in half, wrote their names in bold with the most eye-catching*" color, and then placed on the seat. So when the speakers need the response, he could see and call listener’s name directly.” “I couldn’t understand, so I asked the student in front of me. He told me with a smile, the speakers are all top-ranking people, who mean opportunity. When your answer is to his satisfaction or surprise, it is very likely that presupposes he will give you more opportunities. This is a very simple reason.” “The fact was also like that. I really saw a few students around me went to serve in the first-class company because of the excellent insights. This thing had a great impact on me. The chance will not find you automatically^. You must show yourself constantly to attract others’ attention for you to find a chance on the cards.
