I took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then continued. Before me, the quiet audience focused on each new word, as if I had been a bird, singing out for the very first time. Knowing I had made the right decision[註解1] , I felt the blood return to my pale face, along with a calm, sure feeling. In addition, from somewhere beside me, I heard my voice boom, this time without electronic help. It reached far into the upper balcony, where I could see people no longer bobbing their heads, but sitting fascinated, and maybe amazed at how determined I was.
我深呼吸，暫停一下，然後又開始繼續。在我之前，安靜的觀眾都專注在每個字句上，就像我是一隻鳥，第一次大聲地唱歌。知道我做正確的抉擇，我感到血液流過我的蒼白的臉頰，伴隨著內心的平靜。除此之外，從某地在我身旁，在沒有電子儀器的幫助之下，我聽到我的聲音低沉有力。我的聲音遠達舞台的上方，我看到人們不再搖頭晃腦，而是坐著入迷的聽，或許是對我的決心感到驚訝。
My soliloquy ended. To my surprise, the applause and cheering were so loud that the large room actually vibrated. I appeared humble on the outside, yet my heart was bursting with pride on the inside. I had mastered my greatest fear, along with a big extra does of unforeseen adversity. I had gotten the butterflies and even elephants out of my stomach. At the moment when I looked out on the audience, I believed that this loud cheering was a new kind of elephant thundering in my ears!
我的獨白結束。令我驚訝的是，掌聲與喝采聲頓時響徹整個房間，我表現的很謙虛，但其實我內心卻充滿驕傲。我戰勝我巨大的恐懼，伴隨著一場出乎意料的困境。我很緊張，在那時我所面臨觀眾的喝采聲，我相信這是一種喜悅，穿進我的耳朵!
Then a realization swept over me like a gift. In an instant, I knew—I could do anything! Taking a bow in my white dress, I felt a glow that I would never forget. I realized that within me existed a young woman once tested a— young woman who was bolder than her fear.
之後的輕鬆感襲捲而來，像是給我的禮物。那剎間，我知道，我可以做任何事情；穿著白裙鞠躬，我感到那喜悅可能是我忘不了的。我明白，存在我內心的年輕女人第一次的考驗，一個勇敢多於恐懼的年輕女人。
