A lot of the time when you are watching a performance, you might see someone criticise the performance in the audience: "That performance sucks. So and so is doing this wrong. There is another mistake. It is so ugly and bad etc. etc."
當你在看表演的時候,你可能會看到觀眾裡總會有一些人,批評這個表演哪裡爛,哪裡不好,等等。
The funny thing is, the person doing the criticising is usually someone who is not willing to go up on stage and perform for themselves. Simply ask them: Why don't you go up and perform? And chances are they will decline. Because it's always easier to criticise someone else.
但好笑的是,當你問這位苛刻的觀眾,要不然你上來表演給我們看,怎樣才是對的,他大概不會願意。因為批評人比自己做簡單多了。
My kung fu master once told me, when you perform for someone, you are not asking for their validation. You are training yourself to become better at conquering your own nerves and do the job correctly under pressure.
我的功夫老師說,當你在表演時,你不是要你的觀眾給你認可,而應該是為了訓練自己的膽量,以及能夠在壓力下正確的做事。
