Gina: I would like to begin by expressing my gratitude to all the people who have helped me along the way…
吉娜：首先，我想對一路走來所有給與我幫助的人表示感謝。
Mark: You’re not going to start your speech with that boring opening, are you?
馬克：你該不會用這么枯燥的開場白吧？
Gina: It’s not boring. It’s a nice opening.
吉娜：這并不枯燥啊。這是個很好的開場白。
Mark: It’s too formal and stiff. How about, “Hey, everybody. Thanks a million!”
馬克：太正式、太死板了。“嗨，大家好。萬分感謝!”這樣的開場白怎么樣？
Gina: That’s too informal.
吉娜：那也太隨意了。
Mark: Fine, if you say so. What comes next?
馬克：行吧，既然你都這么說了。接下來呢？
Gina: Well, then I say, “I want to whole-heartedly thank those who stuck with us and who never let us down.”
吉娜：接著我會說，“我要衷心地感謝那些支持我們、從沒讓我們失望的人。”
Mark: That’s too impersonal. How about, “Hey Emiliano, you’re totally awesome. And you, Tania? You’re absolutely fab.
馬克：太沒有人情味了。這么說如何？“嘿，埃米利亞諾，你真是太棒了。”而塔尼亞，你簡直讓人難以置信。
Gina: That doesn’t even come close to expressing how I feel. I want to thank people for their thoughtfulness, generosity, and support from the bottom of my heart.
吉娜：這跟我想表達的感受甚至都不沾邊。我想感謝的是人們的體貼、慷慨和我內心深處的支持。
Mark: That’s so sappy! Why don't you just give props to people who deserve it and a shout-out to the people who helped you? Then, you jump off the stage and walk through the audience to high-five everybody. That’s how I would give a thank-you speech.
馬克：這樣太煽情了!你為什么不給那些值得表揚的人以及那些幫助過你的人一些鼓勵呢？然后，你跳下舞臺，穿過觀眾席跟大家一一擊掌。我作致謝演講時就是這么做的。
Gina: I’ll remember that the next time I speak to a group of 10-year-olds!
吉娜：等下次我跟一群10歲的孩子演講的時候，我會記得的!
