我的偶像黃景偉1我站在護(hù)欄后面焦急地等待著全體演員出來(lái)。我剛剛看了跟電影《報(bào)童傳奇》同名的音樂(lè)劇，一部編舞和制作都很精致的百老匯戲劇。然而，我并不僅僅是在等親筆簽名，也不僅僅是在等著與他們合影。我是在等著見(jiàn)我的偶像黃景偉。參考譯文：2從我記事的時(shí)候起，我就一直在跳舞。3歲時(shí)，我參加了一個(gè)愛(ài)爾蘭踢踏舞舞蹈班，從那以后就愛(ài)上了各種舞蹈。我從自己看過(guò)的所有成功的演出當(dāng)中受到啟發(fā)，比如《顫栗》里的邁克爾·杰克遜（還有之后看過(guò)的所有其他作品）、布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯。凡是你能說(shuō)得出來(lái)的音樂(lè)，我都伴著跳過(guò)舞。舞蹈能賦予人力量，我喜歡這種無(wú)需語(yǔ)言就可以表達(dá)想法和感受的方式。In-depthReading3但是，正如父母告訴你的那樣，學(xué)習(xí)舞蹈的費(fèi)用很高。培訓(xùn)班、私人課程（如果培訓(xùn)班不夠的話）、舞鞋（很容易穿破，需要經(jīng)常更換）、演出服裝，還有這中間的其他一切東西，會(huì)讓你花上一大筆錢。我11歲時(shí)很幸運(yùn)地參加了一個(gè)爵士和芭蕾舞組合班。當(dāng)?shù)弥乱荒瓴荒芾^續(xù)參加這個(gè)班時(shí)，我傷心欲絕，但是一直沒(méi)有搞清楚其中的原因。在相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的一段時(shí)間里，我以為只是因?yàn)槲也粔騼?yōu)秀，所以不能繼續(xù)跳舞——我不值得那些投入。從那時(shí)起，我對(duì)舞蹈的狂熱慢慢消失了。In-depthReading4直到有一天，我碰巧在換電視頻道時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)了電視節(jié)目《舞魅天下》，觀看了黃景偉的試演。當(dāng)我聽(tīng)到他講述自己如何努力奮斗以及他對(duì)舞蹈的熱愛(ài)時(shí)，我禁不住也想體現(xiàn)那種精神。接下來(lái)的每個(gè)星期，我都會(huì)看他出色地演繹一部部完美的舞蹈作品，備受鼓舞。In-depthReading5就在那個(gè)時(shí)候，我意識(shí)到我可以不必通過(guò)舞蹈培訓(xùn)班來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)如何跳舞。我開(kāi)始模仿電視上的舞蹈秀，上YouTube網(wǎng)站，努力從各種風(fēng)格的舞蹈中尋找我能學(xué)習(xí)的舞蹈動(dòng)作。也是從那時(shí)起，我開(kāi)始積極投入——我自告奮勇成為當(dāng)?shù)刂袑W(xué)的一名舞蹈老師，在課后教學(xué)生跳舞。我竭盡所能去跳舞，并且教別人跳舞。6從護(hù)欄后看到他走出來(lái)跟人們打招呼、拍照和簽名時(shí)，我努力保持平靜。當(dāng)真的和他面對(duì)面時(shí)，我受寵若驚。我不知道說(shuō)些什么，（虧得）我的朋友問(wèn)他是否可以給我和他拍張照。拍過(guò)照之后，他在我的節(jié)目單上簽名，這時(shí)我忍不住說(shuō)：“您跳得真棒！”這句話他可能已經(jīng)聽(tīng)過(guò)一千遍了，但他依然說(shuō)感謝我。然后，我說(shuō)：“非常感謝您，是您激勵(lì)了我繼續(xù)跳舞?！保ㄟ@是我當(dāng)時(shí)僅能說(shuō)出來(lái)的一句話。我是一個(gè)愛(ài)哭的人，當(dāng)時(shí)差點(diǎn)哭了出來(lái)。）通過(guò)他明亮的雙眼和嘴角流露出來(lái)的真誠(chéng)的微笑，你就知道他之前沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到過(guò)這樣的話。他簡(jiǎn)單地答道：“謝謝，你真可愛(ài)。”說(shuō)過(guò)再見(jiàn)后，他走向了其他人。In-depthReading7跟我的偶像見(jiàn)面是一次令人興奮的經(jīng)歷。在電視上看表演是一回事，但是親眼看舞臺(tái)上的表演完全是另外一回事。從一個(gè)人身上看到這么多正能量，這是其他事情所無(wú)法比擬的。自從和黃景偉見(jiàn)面之后，我對(duì)舞蹈又有了新的認(rèn)識(shí)。我會(huì)更加投入，把每一個(gè)動(dòng)作都做好。In-depthReadingPart1(1)describestheauthor’swaitforheridol.Part2(2~5)describestheauthor’sdancingexperience.Part3(6)describestheauthor’smeetingwithheridol.TextOrganizationPart4(7)is

Reading你和你的偶像不同1對(duì)于一個(gè)有抱負(fù)的企業(yè)家或有目標(biāo)的人來(lái)說(shuō)，擁有自己的偶像，閱讀大量本領(lǐng)域人士的成功故事，有時(shí)甚至把自己的成功和那些遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)自己的人相比較，都是很正常的。參考譯文：2

我承認(rèn)這些我都經(jīng)歷過(guò)。我立志成為一名國(guó)際知名作家，而且我崇拜美國(guó)作家弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德和愛(ài)爾蘭作家塞西莉亞·埃亨這類的人。3

但是我的朋友卻打破了我的文學(xué)夢(mèng)想，認(rèn)為無(wú)論我怎么做都不會(huì)成為菲茨杰拉德那樣的人。Further

Reading4她的話在我腦海里縈繞數(shù)日。她是對(duì)的。我太沉迷于成為菲茨杰拉德那樣的人，浪費(fèi)了大量時(shí)間去閱讀關(guān)于成功作家及其歷程的故事，卻沒(méi)有花時(shí)間去提高自己的能力和修改自己的文學(xué)作品。5不要誤解我。閱讀自己偶像的成功故事并沒(méi)有錯(cuò)。實(shí)際上，這可能會(huì)促使你去追求夢(mèng)想。但如果你這么做阻礙了自己的成功，你就應(yīng)該知道你需要換個(gè)角度來(lái)看問(wèn)題了。Further

Reading6下面是一些幫助我不再拿自己去跟別人進(jìn)行比較，使自己更接近目標(biāo)的方法。Further

Reading7不要看別人。第一步也是最重要的一步就是把這個(gè)問(wèn)題消滅在萌芽狀態(tài)。便捷的網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源可能會(huì)誘使我們禁不住要去查找更多關(guān)于自己偶像的信息，而這會(huì)耗費(fèi)我們的精力、時(shí)間甚至金錢。要記住，你一天只有那么多時(shí)間，得把這些時(shí)間用來(lái)堅(jiān)定自己的目標(biāo)和提高自己的能力。8不要把自己和別人進(jìn)行比較。我們從小到大都在跟別人比較，例如，跟人比打電子游戲的技巧。他們可能打得更好，但或許那是因?yàn)樗麄円呀?jīng)打了很久了。根據(jù)加拿大作家馬爾科姆·格拉德威爾提出的一萬(wàn)小時(shí)成功法則，這并不能說(shuō)明他們比你更有天賦，只能說(shuō)明他們比你掌握了更多游戲技巧。該法則認(rèn)為，人們只要花費(fèi)一萬(wàn)個(gè)小時(shí)集中精力專攻某項(xiàng)技能，就能掌握這項(xiàng)技能。Further

Reading10由此可見(jiàn)，不要拿自己去和別人比較，關(guān)鍵是要拿自己的成功去和他們的成功進(jìn)行比較。當(dāng)我拿自己的人生和菲茨杰拉德的人生進(jìn)行比較時(shí)，從某種程度上講，是對(duì)自己的不尊重。我曾經(jīng)不斷拿自己剛剛起步的作家之路和菲茨杰拉德的人生后期進(jìn)行比較，而
