小穎(5~6段)完成了

我是5~6段



5 Outwardly paralyzed with horror and humiliation, I frantically plotted the appropriate reaction. Should I run off[a1] the stage in despair or wait for the power to the return to the microphone? Time seemed to stand[a2] still, crystallizing[a3] a moment of opportunity, when intent suddenly meant everything.
表面上因為恐懼和難堪顯得不知所措，我瘋狂地思考著適當的反應。我該絕望地跑下臺，或是應該等麥克風的恢復呢?時間彷彿靜止了，凝聚成一剎那的良機－意圖在那一刻突然重於一切。



6 I chose neither of my first quick solutions. Instead, I told myself only when I faced this unexpected obstacle head-on could I be the victor. I decided to close my eyes to still my quaking[a4] limbs and force out the hot anxiety in my lungs to make room for what I intended to do.
我沒有採用先前那兩個草率的想法。相反地，我告訴我自己，唯有正視這突如期來的阻礙，我才能成為勝利者。我決定閉上雙眼，穩住顫抖的四肢，用力呼出肺裡灼熱的焦慮感，已騰出空間讓我做自己要做的事。



7 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[a5] a bird, singing[a6] out for the very first time. Knowing I had made the right decision, 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 [a7] fascinated, and maybe amazed at how determined I was.我深吸一口氣，暫停了一會兒，然後繼續進行。 在我面前，安靜的觀眾專注的的聽我說每一個字，好像我是一隻初生試鳴的鳥。當我知道我的決定是正確的時候， 我覺得血液回到我蒼白的臉上，還有一種平靜且篤定的感覺。 然後，在我旁邊的某個地方，我聽到自己的聲音宏亮了起來，這一次沒有器具的幫助。 我的聲音遠達上面的座位，在那裡我可以看到人們不再搖頭晃腦，而是著迷的坐著，或許是因為對於我的堅定而感到訝異。
