Self-doubt is the uneasy feeling that you yourself are not good enough — not able enough, not ready enough, not the kind of person who should try.

Self-doubt is是一種 the uneasy feeling that不安的感覺，覺得 you yourself你這個人 are not good enough不夠好—— not able enough能力不夠、 not ready enough沒準備好、 not the kind of person who should try不是那種該去試的人。

It is not the same as a useful check, like “I have not practised this yet.” That is about a task. Self-doubt sits on the person: a quiet voice that says the weak spot is you.

It is not the same as它不等於 a useful check有用的自我檢查， like像 “I have not practised this yet.”「這個我還沒練過。」 That那種檢查 is about a task是針對一件事。 Self-doubt sits on the person是落在「人」身上： a quiet voice一個小小的聲音， that says說 the weak spot弱點 is you就是你。

People use the word in ordinary talk, in advice, and in psychology. You can feel a wave of it before a test or a talk, or carry it for years. It is not rude and not a joke, though friends may say it lightly: “I had a bit of self-doubt.” Teachers and coaches talk about fighting it.

People人們 use the word用這個字 in ordinary talk在日常談話、 in advice勸人的話 and in psychology和心理學裡。 before a test or a talk考試或上台前 You can feel a wave of it你可能感到它湧上來一陣， or carry it for years也可能一背就是好幾年。 It is not rude and not a joke它不粗魯，也不是玩笑話， though不過 friends朋友之間 may say it lightly可能說得很輕：“I had a bit of self-doubt.”「我有點自我懷疑了。」 Teachers and coaches老師和教練 talk about fighting it會談怎麼對抗它。

Though actually, a little of it is extremely common; almost nobody has none. Looking sure of yourself on the outside does not prove the feeling is gone.

Though actually不過其實， a little of it有一點點的自我懷疑 is extremely common非常常見； almost nobody has none幾乎沒有人完全沒有。 on the outside外表 Looking sure of yourself看起來很有把握， does not prove並不能證明 the feeling is gone那種感覺已經不在了。
