擔任長頸鹿美語演講比賽裁判的記錄

幾周前，為了讓自己擔任長頸鹿美語年度說故事比賽評審能夠更加專業，我上網上了五個小時的專業評審課程，也發現了兩個線上課程資源非常地有趣，同時有認識一個專業的老師在台灣教這樣的課程，如果大家有興趣可以再問我哦~

以下是我的講評演講內容，希望上完了五個小時的專業課程，能夠真的達到給予所有參與這個比賽的每一位成員信心、熱情及動力。雖然說自己也不是什麼重要的大人物，但是能夠站上舞台以評審的身份給大家講評，一定要給予出自己能力所及最專業的講評，所以在現場的時候，一邊不斷評分，一邊不斷做小抄，坐在旁邊的評審都說，蔬菜小姐，你們怎麼這麼緊張，好像是妳要上臺一樣。。。哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。。。。

為了當評審，好好打扮一下

Parents, teachers, honourable guests, fellow judges and contestants. What a fantastic afternoon it has been.
親愛的家長、老師、嘉賓、評審及參賽選手們。今天的下午真得是非常美好充實。

On average, I spend 20 minutes a day watching TED talks, learning about new things, gaining new perspectives and refreshing my mind. I feel really honoured today, for I can sit here for almost 4 hours and listen to you all deliver the same quality of speech as TED talks . Thank you, I feel enthusiastic and energetic about learning once again.
每天，我大約會花20分鐘觀賞TED Talks，從他們的演講當中我學到新的事物、得到新的看法，同時讓我的大腦更加充實。今天的我覺得非常地榮幸，能夠坐在這裡將近四個小時的時間，聽你們大家發表跟TED Talks一樣專業水平的演講。謝謝你們讓我對於學習再度充滿熱情及活力。

Thank you for spending time on researching your topics and spending time on reading, I know you must have stayed up late to write and re-write your stories for a million times and seized every spare moment you had to practice.
謝謝你們花時間在蒐集資料、閱讀資料，我知道你們一定要常常熬夜寫講稿或是不斷地修改重寫，還要把握每個可以練習的時間，不斷地反覆練習。謝謝你們。

Another great thing that you all taught me today is team-effort. I see a strong bond among teachers、students、parents and schools. You all worked as a team to help each other learn and became better people. Today’s story telling contest is a great opportunity to present this beautiful team work.
今天的你們還教了我一件很重要的事情，那就是﹣團隊合作。從你們的身上我看見那股親密的合作情感交織在老師、學生、家長及學校們之間。你們大家一起努力，互相幫忙對方學習，互相鼓勵對方變得更好。今天的說故事比賽，剛好是一個很棒的機會來呈現你們大家團隊合作的美麗成果。

Competition encourages us to pursue perfection, but it can only take us so far and no further, but team-work, which is what we are striving for today, can take us much closer to that goal.
參與比賽能夠鼓勵我們向完美前進，但是這樣的方式只能帶我們到達某一個境界就無法再往前，但是[團隊合作]可以帶領我們更加接近完美，也就是今天我們所要追求的。

So keep working closely with your teachers、parents、students and schools. Work as a team to learn new languages and new knowledge. It is more enjoyable than working alone, trust me! 
所以，繼續親密地與你的老師們、家長們、學生們及學校們保持這樣的合作關係。一起合作，共同學習新的語言及新的知識。相信我，與團隊一起學習絕對比自己一個人來得有趣得多！

May I borrow your left hand please. Please pat yourself on your back and say well-done for being here today and being part of the event.
請你們借給我你們的左手。請用你的左手拍拍自己的肩膀，告訴自己做得很好能夠坐在這裡，參與今天的活動。

May I borrow your right hand please. Please shake your hand with the person sitting on your right and say, “Congratulations! you are a winner!"
請你們借給我你們的右手。請跟坐在你右手邊的人握手，並且大聲地對他說：”恭喜你！你是個贏家！”

In my opinion, you are all winners. Keep reading, keep smiling, you will find yourself in the joy of learning.
Thank you.
對我來說，你們都是贏家。繼續閱讀，保持微笑，你們會發現自己沉浸在學習的樂趣。謝謝。
