演講或發(fā)言是自我展示的機(jī)會(huì)，幾乎所有人都有可能在某個(gè)時(shí)候被要求做或長(zhǎng)或短的發(fā)言。怎樣成為一個(gè)能吸引聽眾的演說(shuō)者呢?

　　How to Give a Good Speech

　　We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job. Here are some suggestions on how to give a good speech.

　　First of all, it is important to plan. Do your homework. Find out everything you can about your subject. And, at the same time, find out as much as you can about your audience. Who are they? What do they know about your subject? Do they have a common interest? Why are they coming to hear you speak? Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech①. Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion.

　　Let us suppose that you have been asked to introduce the main speaker at a meeting. First, find out the most important and interesting things about the speaker. Then, summarize this information in a few words. Remember, you are not the main speaker; you are introducing the main speaker.

　　If you are giving a lecture or explaining an idea, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures or charts if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Dont talk over their heads, and dont talk down to them②. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

　　If you follow these simple steps, youll see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you ask to make more speeches! Youre not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.

　　如何做好發(fā)言

　　在生活中，我們都會(huì)碰到這樣的時(shí)候：被邀請(qǐng)做一個(gè)發(fā)言。然而，我們中的大部分人都做不好這件事。關(guān)于如何做好發(fā)言，下面給大家提幾點(diǎn)建議。

　　首先，做計(jì)劃這一點(diǎn)相當(dāng)重要。發(fā)言之前做好充分準(zhǔn)備，對(duì)你發(fā)言的主題盡可能地了解。同時(shí)，還要盡可能地了解你的聽眾，他們是什么人?他們對(duì)你發(fā)言的主題有怎樣的了解?他們是否有共同的興趣?他們?yōu)楹蝸?lái)聽你發(fā)言?當(dāng)你準(zhǔn)備發(fā)言稿的時(shí)候，別忘了站在他們的角度考慮考慮。請(qǐng)你記住，一定要準(zhǔn)備充分。對(duì)發(fā)言的主題、聽眾、以及場(chǎng)合要心中有數(shù)。

　　假設(shè)你要在一次會(huì)議上介紹主要發(fā)言人。首先，你應(yīng)該發(fā)掘出關(guān)于那位發(fā)言人最重要、最有趣的事情。然后用幾句話來(lái)概括挖掘到的相關(guān)信息。請(qǐng)記住，你并非主要發(fā)言人;你的職責(zé)是介紹那位主要發(fā)言人。

　　假如你要做一個(gè)講座，或講解一種觀點(diǎn)，務(wù)必圍繞主題收集盡可能多的材料。要花大量的時(shí)間進(jìn)行研究。此后，還要花大量時(shí)間將材料有條理地整合在一起，以便使你的發(fā)言清晰易懂。盡可能多地使用例證，為了使講解更為清晰，必要時(shí)可使用圖片或圖表。要始終把聽眾記在心上。不要高談闊論，超出他們的理解范圍，也不要以居高臨下的口氣對(duì)他們說(shuō)話。尊重你的聽眾，他們會(huì)感謝你的體貼。

　　只要你按照這些簡(jiǎn)單的步驟來(lái)做，你便會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)在公共場(chǎng)合發(fā)言并不可怕。事實(shí)上，你甚至?xí)X(jué)得這種經(jīng)驗(yàn)是一種享受，還希望有更多的發(fā)言機(jī)會(huì)呢!你還將信將疑嗎?那么，試一試這個(gè)方法，看看會(huì)怎樣。
