Nicole Practices Her Election Speech
1. I pulled an all-nighter [熬通宵] working on my election speech.
2. No wonder you look like a basket case [sb/sth in a useless or helpless condition; extremely nervous，犹如失去四肢被装入篮子里抬来抬去]!
3. That must be a load off your mind!
4. I've got to give the speech tomorrow in front of 1,500 people. I'm a nervous wreck [紧张兮兮]!
5. Just remember the old rule of thumb [useful principle]: Imagine your audience naked.
6. That's gross [disgusting]. Why would I want to do that?
7. According to conventional wisdom [common sense], it'll make you less nervous.
8. Only practice will do the trick [bring the desired results, 获得成功].
9. You can't say that. You'll turn off your audience immediately.
10. It sounds like I have a big head [conceited, arrogant]?
11. I'll say! = Definitely!
