英语励志演讲：不要让语言扼杀梦想

Hi, I`m Jessica and I want to share you a story.

大家好，我是Jessica，我想和大家分享一个故事。

See there`s a story if a major league ball player. And one day he visited inmates in the prison. One of the inmates asked him, “How do you become a professional ball player sir?” 

有一个知名联盟的棒球运动员。一天，他来到监狱探望囚犯。一名囚犯问他，“先生，你是如何成为棒球运动员的呢？”

To which he said, “you know I think it started when I was a boy, I would play baseball with my dad and he always said, You keep through the ball like that, you will end up in the major league one day.” “you keep swinging bat like that son, you will end up in the major league one day. ”And here I am , A professional ball player.

他回答说，“我想那应该是在我还是小孩的时候，我经常和我的父亲一起打球，他告诉我，你只要坚持像这样扔球，你终将会成为一名职业联盟球员。”“你坚持像我这样挥杆，长大后就会进入职业联盟。”所以现在的我就成为一个职业的棒球运动员。

The room become quite, and innate who asked the question said, “You know the same thing happened to me. ”

房间变得很安静，被提问的那个囚犯说，“你知道吗，同样的问题在我身上也发生过。”

“When I was a little boy , my father told me that I was good for nothing, and one day I would end up in prison. And here I am .”

“当我还是和孩子的时候，我父亲就告诉我，我一事无成，最终我会进监狱，所以我成了现在这个样子。”

Sticks and stones can break bones, but words can break hearts and dreams. How many times have we said something that is mean and hurtful.

棍棒和石头可以伤及筋骨，但是语言可以让人心碎，摧毁梦想。我们曾有多少次说过一些刻薄的伤人的话语。

And we don`t even know, and how ,many dreams have we killed just by our words. The next time you wanna say something that is mean, remember, words matter!

我们自己都没有意识到，我们又扼杀了多少梦想，仅仅只是用我们的只眼片语，下次当你想说一些伤人的话时，请记住，说话很重要！
