趣味英语第226期:如何应对失败

Alyssa Erhardt wants to know:

艾莉莎·厄尔哈特想知道：

"How do you deal with losing?"

“如何应对失败？”

That's easy. You just don't lose. Next.

很简单。不失败就好了。下个问题。

Keep your chin up. Fake¹ a smile. You know, fake it 'til you make it.

不要气馁。假装微笑。在你成功之前一直假装下去。

Don't dwell² on it. Find something else to do. Something that makes you happy. Go see a movie, watch a TV show, play a game you like on the computer.

别老想着这件事。找点其他的事情做。做些能让你开心的事情。去看场电影，或是看电视，在电脑上玩你喜欢的游戏。

You don't set yourself up in your mind that you're going to win. You go out and do your best, and don't be disappointed if you do lose.

你不会认定自已会赢。你要尽最大的努力，如果失败了，不要失望。

How I deal with this is I get my anger out on someone. I don't know how, but I just get it out on my dad.

我应对的方法是将愤怒发泄到别人身上。我也不知道怎么做，不过我就是发泄给我爸爸。

It kind of depends on sportsmanship. Just as long as you have sportsmanship, you won't really have a hard time dealing³ with losing.

这取决于体育精神。只要你有体育精神，你就不会难以应对失败。

I usually say, "GG" for "Good Game". I also always have a smile on my face because I was happy we got to play the game.

我经常说，“GG”即“精彩的比赛”。我脸上也总是挂着微笑，因为我很高兴我们能一起比赛。

I deal with losing by remembering, "Oh, I have more games to play. This isn't my last game."

我应对失败的方法是记住，“哦，我还有很多比赛要打。这不是我最后一场比赛。”

In the long run, it's better to just learn from your mistakes of why you lost and not to be too bitter about it. Just try to swallow your pride. Congratulate the other person.

从长远来看，最好从你的错误中吸取教训，弄清自已为何会失败，不要太过痛苦。试着放下你的骄傲。祝贺对方。

You just gotta suck it up and accept it. You win some, you lose some. That's something that everybody has to go through, but just don't be too hard on yourself.

接受就好。你会赢，也会输。这是所有人都必须经历的事情，但不要对自已太苛刻。

I just say to myself, "For every loss there's a win. And for every win, there's a loss." So you'll keep losing, but you'll also keep winning. I'm a philosopher now.

我会对自已说：“有输必有赢。有赢必有输。”也就是说，你会继续输，但同时你也会继续赢。我现在是哲学家。
