假装很自在

字幕原文

Here's a secret about the confident-looking people around you. 告诉你一个关于你身边那些看似自信的人的秘密。

A lot of them are faking it, 他们很多人其实都是装出来的，

and I know because I'm one of them. 我之所以知道，是因为我也是其中之一。

Before I walk into a room full of strangers, 每次走进满是陌生人的屋子之前，

my stomach is in knots. 我都紧张得胃里直打结。

I rehearse what I'll say. 我会反复预演自己要说的话。

My hands sometimes shake. 我的手有时候还会发抖。

But on the outside, I've learned to stand up straight, 但在表面上，我已经学会了挺直腰板，

smile, and speak clearly, and people assume I'm perfectly at ease. 面带微笑、吐字清晰，别人就以为我格外从容。

For a while this felt like lying. 有一阵子，我觉得自己这就像是在骗人。

Now I think it's just a kind of courage. 但现在我觉得，这其实也是一种勇气。

Confidence was never the absence of fear. 自信从来都不是不害怕，

It's doing the nervous thing anyway, with your shoulders back. 而是哪怕心里再犯怵，也要挺起肩膀迎难而上。

And the strange part is, 而且奇妙的是，

if you act calm long enough, your body eventually believes it. 只要你装镇定装得足够久，你的身体最终也会当真。

The fake confidence slowly, quietly, turns into the real thing. 这种假装的自信，慢慢地、悄悄地，就变成了真正的自信。
