Partricia Pania never wanted to be a national public figure. All she wanted to be was a mother and a homemaker. But her life was turned upside down when a motorist district by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the side of her car. The impact killed her two-year-old daughter. 帕特丽夏·帕尼亚从未想过要成为国家公众人物。她只想当一位母亲和家庭主妇。 但是当一名摩托车驾驶员因为手机铃响而分心，直闯红灯,猛然撞击她的轿车侧面时，一切被打破了。她的两岁女儿被撞身亡。 Four months later, Partricia reluctantly but courageously decided to try to educate the public and to fight for laws to ban drivers from using cell phones while a car is moving. She wanted to save other children from what happened to her daughter. In her first speech, Partricia got off to a shaky start. She was visibly trembling and her voice was soft and uncertain. But as she got into her speech, a dramatic transtormation took place. She stopped shaking and spoke with a strong voice. For the rest of her talk, she was a forceful and compelling speaker.She wanted everyone in the audience to know what she knew without having to learn it from a personal tragedy. Many in the audience were moved to tears, and to action. 四个月以后，帕特丽夏勉强而勇敢地决定对公众进行教育，并且为立法禁止驾驶员在车辆行进时使用手机而斗争。第一次演讲时,她开始有些颤抖。可以看得见她的身体在发颤，嗓音轻柔而犹豫。然而，由于她对演讲的投入,戏剧性的转变发生了。她不再颤抖了， 声响清亮。接下来的演讲使她成为了一名强有力的、让人信服的演说者。她希望每一位听 众了解她的遭遇,不必从个人悲剧中去切身体验。许多观众感动得落泪了，并且身体力行。 |
