As a speaker, I’ve only had two complaints from audiences. One, that I talk so loud they can’t fall asleep. And two, that I talk so long they can’t stay awake.

I used to get nervous when giving a speech but then I read that it helps to think of the entire audience as being naked. And so, at this very moment, I’m standing up here imagining everyone in this audience as being naked. And it really works. I no suffer from nervousness. Eyestrain.

翻译：过去我演讲时常常会比较紧张，但那时我看到一条信息说如果你想象所有的观众都是裸体会有所帮助。此时此刻，我站在这里想象着观众都是裸体，真的起作用，我不再紧张了，但眼睛有些疲劳。

Personally, I have never been conceited --- and I can’t tell you how much I admire myself for that.

翻译：大部分人站在讲台上都会有点儿紧张，我属于少部分人，我非常紧张。 我本人不自负——我简直不能告诉你们我是多么钦佩我这一点。

Let me put this into plain English. I’ll translate it for the lawyers later.

翻译：我先用简单明了的英语演讲，以后我再翻译给律师听。（律师总喜欢用复杂的语言，简单的话都听不懂了。）

If you’ve already heard this story, please don’t stop me because it’s the only one I know.

翻译：如果你听过这个故事，请不要打断我，我就知道这一个故事。

At the very start, let me just say that we both have something in common. You don’t know what I’m going to say --- and neither do I.

翻译：演讲开始时我们有一些共同点，你们不知道我要讲什么——我也不知道。

Making a speech is like watering a lawn. You’re satisfied if just a quarter of it sinks in.

翻译：演讲就像给草坪浇水，如果有四分之一的水渗下去你就满意了。（有人打呼噜，有人说话，都是正常的，有四分之一观众听就不错了。）

Some people suffer from stage fright. I don’t. The stage doesn’t bother me at all. It’s the audience that scares the hell out of me!

At one time or another, I think each of us has wished we could turn back the clock. I know if I could turn back the clock just 45 minutes, I’d be the happiest person in this room. Because that’s when I left my speech on the kitchen table.

我们每个人都希望能在某一时刻把时钟拨回去。如果我能够把时钟拨回去45分钟，我就是这间房间里最幸福的人，我把演讲稿落在厨房桌子上了。

I don’t want to brag, but the last time I did this it brought the audience to its feet. And they never sat down again until they reached their cars.
