国王的演讲英文字幕"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. "If you can carry on, one day something good will happen. "
After graduating from college in 1932,I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my wa
y up to sports announcer(播音员). I evdtook the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. but I was refud every time.
In one studio(演播室), a nice lady told me that big stations didn't want to accept inexperienced person-"Go to the countryside and find a small station that'll give you a chance," she said.
I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father sad Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied. The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview.
At that moment, mom's words came to my mind: "Everything happens for the best." Dad offered me the car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, I felt frustrated . I asked aloud, "How can a man become a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?"
I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, "What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?" Then he made me stand before a microphone (麦克风)and asked me to broadcast an imaginary（想象的） game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday's game!
On my way home, I thought of my mother's words again: "Everything happens for the best if you carry on, one day something good will happen.
