I Am Tripping My Elephant Here参考I Am Tripping My Elephant HereOnce upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way. As he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly. He looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him. Quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out. A sparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: “Hey, chicken! Watch out your leg, its out!” The ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: “ ShiI am going to trip that elephant.”Right now, Im standing on this glamorous stage. But everything here reminds me of is a not so fun memory. Around this time last year I was in Nanjing competing in another speech contest. That was the first time for me to be in such a large event. Of course the pressure I was under was immense too. After a sleepless and stressful night, I went onto that stage without the feeling in my legs. That speech turned out to be horrible. I dont remember how I get down from there, but I do remember afterwards I just wanted to find a hole to hide in just like the ant in the story. Back at my school, it took a long time for me to recover. Thanks to all the help I got from my special friends. My confidence was restored. After rounds of giving speeches and answering tough questions, I am here today. From all that Ive been through Ive learned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if I want my life to go on well I have to let go of my past failure. So today, with out fear, I am tripping my elephant again.我又一次在绊大象从前，一只小蚂蚁在路上走着，走着走着，突然感受到地在颤抖，回头一看是一只大象正朝他走来。因此他特别快用土盖住身体，不幸一只脚忘在了外面。一只麻雀看到了一切，她飞下来想要取笑一下这只蚂蚁，说：“咳，胆怯鬼，小心你的脚，露出来了！” 蚂蚁开场有些为难，但一会不紧不慢地告诉麻雀说：“小声点，我要在绊那只大象。”今天，我站在这个讲台上。但四周的一切让我想到的却并不是一段有趣的回忆。大概是去年的这个时间，我在南京参加另一个全国英语演讲竞赛。那是我第一次参加大赛，所以压力特别大。通过压抑无眠的一整夜，我走上了演讲台。那时我有史以来最差的一次演讲。我不记得本人如何从讲台上走下来的，只记得当时特别想找一个地点躲进去再也不出来就想我故事中的蚂蚁。回到学校，我花了好一段时间才恢复过来。幸亏有朋友和教师的鼓舞，我又一次有了勇气和决心。通过一轮又一轮的演讲和答复下列咨询题，我今天站在了这里。让也我领悟了一个道理：一个好的今后是建立在忘掉过去的根底上的，直到真正不记得过去的失败生活才会变的美妙。今天，我没有惧怕，又一次站到了大象的面前。
