怎样说英语更自信
5. Impossible
That’s impossible; it has never been done.
这不可能，这事儿没人干成过。
It’s impossible for me to work with [fill in person, task, or department].
让我(跟某人或某个部门合作)、(完成某件工作)，那不可能!
当你奋不顾身地提高了嗓门大喊一声“Impossible”时，一扇通往成功的大门砰地一声关上了。Impossible这个词集悲观与守旧两种负能量于一身，时时刻刻帮你绕开各种可能。想改变自己的小伙伴们，不如让你的话里多些possible，从“not possible”开始，到“could be possible(或许行)”，再到“Yes, it can be done!(是的，这可以做到!)” 你将会有不同的感受。
Impossible combines the defeatism of won’t and the status quo of usually to firmly lock the door to new successes. The danger is in the passion you use when you say the word, often with a raised voice and a strong hand gesture. The stronger the feeling that is attached to a word, the surer and sooner it will manifest. As you continue to use impossible in your thoughts and words, you will notice less positive things happening in your life. From not confident, you could drop to outright fearful. Throw out impossible from your vocabulary. Shift to “not possible” and then to “could be possible” and finally to “Yes, it can be done!”
6. Worried
I’m worried about my presentation.
我担心我的演讲。
I’m worried the client will not be satisfied.
我怕客户不满意。
很多的担心害怕都来自不自信。担心中间出状况，害怕结果不理想——这些只能让你的精力都集中在负面的假设中，而无暇顾及当下的事情。如果你无法往好的地方想，那么就全力以赴做好手头的事情吧!
Worried is the reason people are not confident. Being worried comes from imagining a bad or worst case scenario. Its two components are (1) thinking ahead and (2) fearing a negative outcome. When you find yourself thinking ahead to the day of your presentation or project submission, summon a positive image of a supportive audience and an impressed client. Smile, hear the audience applauding, and feel the firm handshake of your happy client. If you are unable to imagine a positive image, then focus only on the present moment as you complete the project and prepare for the presentation.
7. Confused
I’m confused about my team leader’s work expectations.
我搞不懂领导想做什么。
I’m confused if he wants to seriously continue this relationship.
我就纳了闷儿了，他到底想不想认真地继续这段关系?
模棱两可的状况和不战而败的态度总会让人困惑不已。不明确工作目标，你如何知道下一步该做什么?不清楚自己在一段关系中位置，又怎能知道内心是否坚定?逃避掉种种问题，最后就只剩下一声confused。最好的办法就是先搞清状况，之后自信满满地做你该做的事。
Sometimes, a confusing situation is to be blamed for the ambivalence of might and the defeatist attitude of won’t. If you don’t know what your work objective is, you won’t be able to take steps to get there. If you don’t know how you stand in a relationship, you won’t know how committed you can be. Get yourself out of the confusion to a place of clear understanding by speaking to your team leader or your significant other. Ask clear, direct questions. Explain you want to understand their expectations so you can act accordingly, from not confident to sure of yourself.
8. Need
I need to buy expensive suits before I go to any job interview.
去面试前，我得买件贵点儿的西装。
I need to be sure there is no risk of getting turned down before I ask her out.
约她出来前，我得确保她不会拒绝我。
Need这个词就是梦想的终结者，它只会让人不断拖延想做的事，并且为失败寻找借口。失败了还可以继续再战，何必考虑那许多没用的条件?有时过程比结果更重要。当你不再纠结于结果时，你会发现其实你并不需要那么多的条件。
Need acts like a stalling tactic and a justification for failing. It’s also a dream stopper. It’s you setting up conditions—which are often unnecessary—for you to succeed. It’s better to try and fail, than to fail to try. The experience of engaging in an action or a relationship is far more important than the result. When you are not too attached to the results, you actually don’t need much to start.
