[双语]辉煌时刻，想好你的获奖感言了吗？

Accepting an award may seem like a simple task, but each year the Academy Awards proves there may be more to it than you might think.
上台领奖看似一个简单的任务，但是每年的奥斯卡金像奖都证明了这个过程远比你想象的要复杂。

Oscar history has seen its fair share of memorable thank-you moments, good and bad.
奥斯卡的历史见证了许多或好或坏、令人难忘的获奖感言。如果明星们的获奖感言可圈可点的话，他们便会因为这个被全球百万观众分享的精彩时刻而在电视史上“载入史册”。但是巨大风险也是并存的：他们有可能在一瞬间就风度全失。

So the question remains: what makes a great acceptance speech? Here are three tips to keep in mind for your next glittering occasion:
所以还是这个老问题：广受好评的演讲是怎样炼成的呢？下面这三个秘诀你可要记牢，等到将来的闪耀时刻会用得上。

1. Be grateful and humble. Make sure you thank the important people who helped you reach your goal.
1. 感恩和谦逊。切记要感谢那些在你成功之路上给予你帮助的重要人物。

Don’t be too arrogant or boastful but don’t be so modest that the audience thinks you are trivializing the honor. It’s only natural to be a little emotional, so use this to inspire and personally relate to the audience.
不要过于高傲自大和自吹自擂，但是也不要过度谦虚而让观众觉得你不重视这一荣誉。适当表现出一些情绪上的小激动这是人之常情，所以利用这点来激励观众并亲自与他们产生共鸣。

At this year’s Oscars, The King’s Speech director Tom Hooper told the story of how he only came to make the movie thanks to the help of his Australian mother, who was in the audience.
在今年的奥斯卡上，《国王的演讲》的导演汤姆•霍伯讲诉了自己是如何在澳籍母亲的帮助下，最终才拍成这部电影，当时他的妈妈就坐在观众席中。

He showed grace and humility when he mentioned her: “So, with this tonight, I honor you and the moral of the story is, listen to your mother.”
在提到母亲时，他展现出了迷人的风度和谦虚，“所以，今晚我要向你表达敬意，这个故事的寓意就是，听你妈妈的话吧。”

2. Keep it short. Say as much as you can in as few words as possible. There’s no need to thank every single person you know.
2.尽量简短。用尽可能少的语言来表达尽可能多的意思。没必要去感谢自己认识的每个人。

As Oscar producer Bruce Cohen warned contenders at the annual nominees luncheon before this year’s show, “Nothing is more deadly than a winner reading a list of names.” Make each sentence meaningful and don’t get too carried away.
在今年奥斯卡颁奖前的提名者午宴上，曾获奥斯卡奖的制片人布鲁斯•柯恩提醒竞争者们，“没有什么比获奖者读人名清单更要命的了。”所以要让每句话都有意义，不要激动得失去理智。

3. Finally, maximize your moment. Don’t be afraid to have a little fun and say something memorable.
3.最后，最大程度上利用这属于你的时刻。不要害怕，开些小玩笑，说些让人难忘的话。

Clever wit and humor will help your speech stand out in a good way and keep everyone entertained. Don’t make rude and inappropriate jokes, especially about others. Such jokes may get everyone talking, but you may be the only one laughing in the end.
聪明、才智以及幽默会让你的发言脱颖而出，并使每个人都露出会心的笑容。不要开无礼、不当、特别是捉弄别人的玩笑。尽管这些玩笑会让人们打开话匣子，但很可能，最后唯有你会给人留下笑柄。

This time, Melissa Leo’s use of the F-word during her acceptance speech was the first in Oscar history. She said it before covering her mouth: “I really don’t mean to offend.”
这次，梅丽莎•莱昂在发表获奖感言时爆出粗口实属奥斯卡历史上的第一次。她在掩嘴之前表示：“我真没有冒犯的意思。”
