掌声，能带人走过挫折；掌声，能带人走向光明；掌声，能让人充满力量。今天，我就给大家分享一下留在我心底的掌声。
Applause can lead people through setbacks; Applause can lead people towards the light; Applause can make people full of strength. Today, I will share with you the applause that has stayed in my heart.
时光飞逝，眨眼间这件事已经过去了三年，这三年里，也发生过许多令我印象深刻的事情，它们或令我快乐，或令我感叹，而一直令我难以忘怀的，是三年级刚开学时发生的一件事。
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been three years since this incident. During these three years, many memorable things have happened to me, either making me happy or sighing. What has always been unforgettable for me is something that happened at the beginning of third grade.
那是九月的第一天，天阴沉沉的，似乎要下雨，和我的心情有点像。我背着书包，一脸无助地向学校“进军”。那时的我不爱说话，在二年级的时候，就没太有同学和我做朋友，没办法，谁叫我自小就不爱说话呢？在外人面前，我好像是一个“哑巴”，尤其是在人多的时候，我会更加紧张，甚至是说不出话来，对此，我也十分无奈。来自作文吧 zUOwENbA.net
That was the first day of September, the sky was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain, which was a bit like my mood. I carried my backpack and marched towards the school with a helpless look on my face. At that time, I didn't like to talk much. In second grade, I didn't have many classmates to be friends with, so there was nothing I could do. Who told me not to talk since I was young? In front of outsiders, I seem like a "mute", especially when there are many people, I become more nervous and even unable to speak. I am also very helpless about this.
根据以往开学的经验，今天到校一定会做自我介绍，并介绍自己的暑假生活，这也是令我最苦恼的事。但是今天，我却由一个“哑巴”变成了能说会道的“八哥”。
Based on my past experience of starting school, I will definitely introduce myself and my summer life when I arrive at school today, which is also the most distressing thing for me. But today, I have transformed from a 'mute' to a talkative 'eighth brother'.
记得当时是这样的：我戴着帽子来到了新教室，老师也早早地到了，我走进教室，把作业放到讲台上，然后找了一个座位坐下来。看着同学们三五成群地聚在一起聊天的样子，我感到又苦恼又羡慕。我趴在桌子上休息，这时，老师拍手大声宣布，让同学们按照学号依次介绍自己和自己的假期生活。我顿时开始慌了，我知道要做自我介绍，可是没想到会这么快。老师又说了一句：“现在开始。”我立刻低下头，把帽子压得更低了，我自认为我的暑假生活枯燥且无味，没有什么可说的。
I remember it was like this: I came to the new classroom wearing a hat, and the teacher arrived early. I walked into the classroom, put my homework on the podium, and then found a seat to sit down. Watching my classmates gather in groups of three or five to chat, I feel both distressed and envious. I was resting on the table when the teacher clapped his hands and loudly announced, asking the students to introduce themselves and their holiday life in order according to their student IDs. I immediately started to panic. I knew I needed to introduce myself, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. The teacher said again, 'Let's start now.' I immediately lowered my head and lowered my hat, thinking that my summer vacation was boring and tasteless, with nothing to say.
很快，就轮到我了，没办法，我只好硬着头皮走上了讲台。站在讲台上，看着老师与同学们，我不知所措。这时，不知是谁，在下面带头鼓起了掌，听着这掌声，我不知从哪里来的勇气，竟然开口做起了介绍。尽管有点结结巴巴，尽管比较无聊，但我却很认真地在讲。介绍完毕后，又是一阵热烈的掌声，顿时一股热流涌上了我的心头。我抬头看着讲台下的老师和同学们，是他们的掌声给了我勇气和自信，我深深地向大家鞠了一躬。走下了讲台，抬头望望窗外的天空，就连刚才阴着的天似乎都晴了。
Soon, it was my turn, and I had no choice but to grit my teeth and walk up to the podium. Standing on the podium, watching the teacher and classmates, I was at a loss. At this moment, I don't know who it was, but I took the lead in clapping below. Listening to the applause, I didn't know where the courage came from, and I actually spoke up to introduce myself. Although I stutter a bit and feel bored, I am speaking very seriously. After the introduction was over, there was another round of enthusiastic applause, and suddenly a wave of heat surged into my heart. I looked up at the teachers and classmates under the podium, and it was their applause that gave me courage and confidence. I bowed deeply to everyone. I walked off the podium and looked up at the sky outside the window. Even the previously gloomy sky seemed to have cleared up.
经历了那次活动，我彻底由“哑巴”变成了“八哥”，多亏了那次掌声啊！一次掌声对别人来说也许无所谓，但对我来说却很重要，因为是这次掌声让我找到了自信，谢谢你，掌声！
After that event, I completely went from being a "mute" to a "big brother", thanks to the applause! A round of applause may not matter to others, but it is important to me because it gave me confidence. Thank you, applause!
