听力挖空练习

The client sat up and took notice, and said, " OK, I got it." And she said in describing that meeting," I didn't feel _____________________ or small, which is how I used to feel. Instead, I feel like, 'OK, I got this. I know what I'm doing. I'm confident.'" _______________________________________________. You can hear in this story that the implications range far beyond just finances into the realm of __________________and __________________. Today I've told two stories, one about defining our value and the other about communicating our value, and these are the two elements to ________________________________. That's the _______________. And if you're sitting in the audience today and you're not being paid what you're worth, I'd like to welcome you into this equation. Just imagine what life could be like, how much more we could do, how much more ___________________________, how much more we could ________________________, how validated and respected we would feel if we could earn our full potential, realize our full value. No one will ever pay you what you're worth. They'll only ever pay you what they think you're worth, and you control their thinking.

The client sat up and took notice, and said, " OK, I got it." And she said in describing that meeting," I didn't feel scared or panicky or small, which is how I used to feel. Instead, I feel like, 'OK, I got this. I know what I'm doing. I'm confident.'"

客户坐正了,注意到她,然后说好的,我懂了。她是这样描述那次会议的:我没有感到害怕或惊慌,或是渺小,而我过去常常有这种感受。反而我觉得我能搞定,我知道我在做什么,我很自信。

sit up 坐起来; 坐直身子 panicky /ˈpænɪki/ adj.焦虑不安的;惊慌的

Being properly valued is so important. You can hear in this story that the implications range far beyond just finances into the realm of self-respect and self-confidence. Today I've told two stories, one about defining our value and the other about communicating our value, and these are the two elements to realizing our full earning potential. That's the equation.

价值被正确对待是非常重要的,在这个故事中你能知道,这不仅影响到财务,还影响到自尊和自信的问题。今天我分享了两个故事,一个关于定义价值,另一个关于传递价值。这是了解我们完全的收入潜力的两个因素。这就是等式。

implication /ˌɪmplɪˈkeɪʃn/ n.可能的影响;牵连 define our value 定义我们的价值 communicate our value 传递我们的价值 equation /ɪˈkweɪʒn/ n.相等;方程式;等式

And if you're sitting in the audience today and you're not being paid what you're worth, I'd like to welcome you into this equation. Just imagine what life could be like, how much more we could do, how much more we could give back, how much more we could plan for the future, how validated and respected we would feel if we could earn our full potential, realize our full value.

如果你今天坐在观众席里,并且收入和价值不相等,我希望你加入这个等式,想象人生会变成什么样,我们还能多做多少,我们还能回报什么,我们为未来能做怎样更精细的打算,我们会觉得自己有价值被尊重,如果我们能实现我们的全部潜力,充分认识我们的价值。

validate /ˈvælɪdeɪt/ vt.验证;证实

No one will ever pay you what you're worth. They'll only ever pay you what they think you're worth, and you control their thinking.

没有人会为你真正的价值买单,他们只会为他们认为的你的价值买单,而你控制着他们的想法。
