励志演讲 :再相信我一次(1)
Good morning, and thank you for joining me. Many of you in this room are my friends. Many of you in this room know me. Many of you have cheered for me or you've worked with me or you've supported me.
大家早上好，感谢你们今天来到这里。今天在座有很多都是我的朋友，很多人都认识我，曾经为我欢呼过，或是曾经跟我合作过，或是支持过我。
Now every one of you has good reason to be critical of me. I want to say to each of you, simply and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in. I know people want to find out how I could be so selfish and so foolish. People want to know how I could have done these things to my wife, Elin, and to my children. And while I have always tried to be a private person, there are some things I want to say.
现在你们所有人都有理由去批评我。我想很直接并很诚恳地告诉在座的每一位，我对之前那些不负责任和自私的行为深表歉意。我知道大家都很想知道我之前怎么会如此自私和愚蠢。大家都很想知道我怎么能够做出那些伤害我太太伊琳和我孩子的事情。虽然我一直希望能拥有一个私人的空间，不过有些事情我还是想要跟大家说清楚的。
Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words; it will come from my behavior over time. We have a lot to discuss; however, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us.
我和伊琳已经开始商讨如何去弥补我之前所造成的伤害。正如伊琳所说，我真正的忏悔是不能只用语言或文字来表达的，我必须要通过时间和行动来证明我的诚意。我俩之间有很多要谈的，不过我们的谈话内容是我俩之间的私事。

2009年11月27日，当今高尔夫第一人泰格·伍兹被曝出婚外情。27日凌晨，伍兹发生车祸并受伤。随后，有关此次交通事故的幕后消息以及伍兹的“小三”、“小四”、“小五”的多米诺骨牌被推倒。伍兹不堪其扰，于12月11日发表无限期离开高尔夫球场的声明，作为挽救婚姻之举。2010年2月20日凌晨，伍兹在佛罗里达召开了一个小型的发布会，对妻子和孩子以及全世界所有关心他的人道歉，承诺今后将改过自新，并在发言过程中几次流泪哽咽。此道歉演讲诚恳、感人，被评为2010年最佳道歉。
名人经典：
I once heard, and I believe it's true, it's not what you achieve in life that matters; it's what you overcome.
我曾听过这样一句话，我也相信，人生真正的意义不在于你取得了多么辉煌的成就，而在于你克服和战胜了多少艰难险阻。
