演讲的作用很广,对于演讲者而言,它更是一项非凡地本领。演讲的技巧无定律,说是无定律,只是因为每个人的特色会不一样,好的技巧是一场让人喝彩演讲的基础。我为大家整理了关于英语演讲的几点小技巧,欢迎大家阅读。
The Rule of Three – We remember three things。三的法则——人们有可能只会记住你演讲中的三件事
1. The audience are likely to remember only three things from your presentation – plan in advance what these will be.1. 听众或许只会从你的演讲中记住三样东西——都是什么呢?提前做好计划!
Believe it or not, the chances are, people will only remember three things from your presentation. So before you start writing your presentation, plan what your three key messages will be. Once you have these messages, structure the main part of your presentation around these three key themes and look at how they could be better illustrated。不管你信不信,听众只能记住三点与你演讲有关的内容。因此在开始写演讲稿之前,就要确定好你最关键的三条信息。一旦你确定了这些信息,围绕这三个主题构建你演讲的主要内容并考虑如何更好的阐述。
2. There are three parts to your presentation2. 你的演讲包含三个部分
The beginning, the middle and the end. Start to plan out what you will do in these three parts. The beginning is ideal for an attention grabber or for an ice breaker. The end is great to wrap things up or to end with a grand finale。开场、正文、结尾。开始规划你要在这三部分讲什么,典型的开场就是吸引注意力或是破冰,结尾可以把所讲的内容回顾一番或是来一个压轴戏。
3. Use lists of three wherever you can in your presentation3. 演讲中尽可能将观点列为三点进行表达
Lists of three have been used from early times up to the present day. They are particularly used by politicians and advertisers who know the value of using the rule of three to sell their ideas。列为三点这种方式已经从过去沿用至今,它们熟练的被政治家和广告制作人用来销售他们的理念,因为他们深知“三的法则”的价值。
Veni, Vidi, Vici (I came, I saw, I conquered) – Julius Caesar
“Friends, Romans, Countrymen lend me your ears” – William Shakespeare
“Our priorities are Education, Education, Education” – Tony Blair
A Mars a day helps you to work, rest and play – Advertising slogan
Stop, look and listen – Public safety announcement
“我来了,我看见,我战胜”——凯撒大帝
“朋友、罗马人、同胞,请听我说“——丘吉尔
“我们的重点是教育、教育、教育“——布莱尔
“一天一根玛氏条,助你工作、休息和玩耍”——广告词
“一停二看三听”——公共安全宣传语
A classic example of the rule of three was Winston Churchill’s famous Blood, Sweat and Tears speech. He is widely attributed as saying I can promise you nothing but blood sweat and tears. What he actually said was “I can promise you Blood, Sweat, Toil and Tears”. Because of the rule of three we simply remember it as Blood sweat and tears。有关“三的法则”享有盛名的就是丘吉尔的“血、汗和泪水”的演说,人们普遍认为他当时说的是:我能奉献的唯有血、汗和泪水,实际上他说了什么呢?“我能奉献的唯有血、汗、辛劳和泪水”,因为“三的法则”我们仅仅只记住了血、汗和泪水。
4. In Presentations “Less is More”4. 在演讲中“少即是多”
If you have four points to get across – cut one out. They won’t remember it anyway. In presentations less really is more. No one ever complained of a presentation being too short。如果你有四个要点要阐述——那就去掉一个,他们是无论如何也记不下那个的。在演讲中“少即是多”,没有人会因为一场演讲太过简短而抱怨的。
【英语演讲中该注意的细节】
1.Do Not Stay Hidden Before You Speak
不要躲藏
Unless you are Bono, Oprah, or the President, you have no reason to hide before you speak and every reason to mingle, letting people know that you are interesting and personable BEORE you take the stage. Aim to connect with individuals and build a following before you address your audience as a whole.
除非你是bono ,opeah 或者是总统,在社交场合你都没理由在你说话之前就藏起来,抓住机会站到台上让人们都知道你是个有趣的人。在你把一大群人变成你的听众之前,应当多与人交流。
2.Do Not Write a Boring Intro and Have a Boring Person Read It
不要做过多的自我介绍
Your audience already has some idea of who you are, so skip the boring LinkedIn bio facts. When deciding what to include, ask yourself why your biomatters to this group of people. Keep it short and sweet, including only the most pertinent information of why they should care about who you are and what you have to say.
你的听众都知道你,因此直接缩短这段无聊的自我介绍环节。当你决定好了说什么,问问你自己为什么要对着这群人说。带着感情挑重点说,说些和为什么他们应当知道你是谁、你必须要说的内容相关的。
3. Do Not Slowly Stroll Onto the Stage
不要再舞台上闲晃
Unless you are really, REALLY famous, no one is getting a thrill out of viewing your entry. So, just get there. Fast. As humble as you may actually be, even appearing to take your time to get on stage can come off as self-important. And, if the applause after you’ve been introduced has dwindled or completely stopped before you get to center stage, you (and your entire audience) can practically taste the awkward in the room.
如果你不是特别的有名,没人愿意看你在舞台上自我陶醉。因此,请快些的走到舞台上。尽可能的谦虚,甚至是用时间来表现出来。要是在你做完自我介绍后掌声就开始小了,甚至当你走到舞台中心就没有了,那么你(和你的听众)就是在互相看不惯。
4. Do Not Start with "Thank you very much. It’s such a pleasure to be here".
不要以“非常感谢,站在这里是我的荣幸”开始
This was an entirely acceptable way to begin public speaking the first ten million times it was done. We are now past that mark and opening with this line is akin to saying: "Thank you for hearing me say something that you are now not listening to at all." Starting with this line is the best way to make your audience members check their Twitter or Instagram accounts within the first 10 seconds of your speech.
这类说法完全是被人说过千万遍的开场白。现在我们不必再用这些话,说点像:“感谢你在这里听我说些你可能不是很赞同的话。”用这些话来做开场白,就是让你的听众在你开始讲话的10秒内就上网的最好方式。
5. Do Not Say, "Good morning!" …Wait for a Response, and Then Say, "Oh, Come On, You Can Do Better Than That!"
不要说,“早上好,”然后在等着她们给些回应后,再说,“哦,加油,你可以做得更好!”

英语演讲技巧
对于英语演讲其实有以下四个好技巧:
1、选题(how to choose your topic)
如果演讲的题目由个人自由选择,或在若干个给定的题目中自由选择,你选择的依据是什么?或者说选题时应考虑哪些因素。
首先是演讲者本人。你必须了解这个题目,喜欢这个题目。这样,演讲时才能真正地投入,才能有信心、有激情、有真情,才能现场自由发挥、创造。因为只有当你充满激情时,无论是爱还是恨,都更易于克服紧张心理,增强自由联想的能力,达到超常发挥。
二要考虑听众,包括评委。因为他们是你的裁判人,你的演讲水平如何,将最终由他们来认定。所以选题时除了考虑本身各种因素之外,还要考虑听众的知识结构、文化背景、英语水平、职业特征等等。你的演讲内容越贴近他们的生活、他们的工作、他们所关心的问题,就越容易引起他们的共鸣。那么在同等水平上,他们会对你的印象更深刻,如果你讲的东西听众不熟悉甚至反感,效果肯定就差。
三是要了解时间,场合。要事先弄清演讲会的具体时间与地点,想一想这段时间人们关心的焦点是什么,这个时间有什么特别的事件或意义,这个地点有什么特别之处。如演讲在北京奥运会前后举行,谈谈奥运会听众会感到更亲切。如在四川大地震后,可以谈民族精神,关爱等主题,更能调动听众和评委的激情。此外,还要灵活利用演讲的时间与环境。若能在当时当地发现某些事物与你的选题有关,临时利用这些事物则更生动、更有力。
2、遣词造句(vocabulary and style)
演讲时要尽量选用简单易懂的日常口语词汇,尽量少用或不用大词、难词、生僻词,句子也不宜过长。因为演讲不同于写文章,读者可以自由选择阅读方法与速度,可快可慢,还可以反复阅读,慢慢品味,而你的听众却只有一次机会,听不懂也无法补救。更何况这些词发音不易掌握,一旦发错音,心理紧张影响情绪,演讲必定受影响,而听众只会认为你的语言水平差。演讲时尽量不要向听众或评委发问,人家一般不愿意回答你的问题,你会觉得很尴尬,甚至乱了阵角。但可以用设问的手法,如论证吸烟有害时,你可以用这种设问提出欲反驳的`论点:Can smoking help us think more clearly?论述学习英语的重要性时,可以用设问开场:Why must we study English hard?这种问句可以说是无疑而问,目的在于加重语气,表达激动的感情,使演讲生动活泼以引起昕众的注意,去听你进一步的论述。但设问时语气要重,语流要慢并要停顿一下,给听众一点回味的时间,然后再继续表明自己的观点和态度。为了增加演讲的气势和感染力,应在恰当的地方运用排比句,也叫对称句(parallelism)。即两个或几个相连的句子,句法结构完全相同的修辞手法。英国前首相温斯顿·丘吉尔(Winston Churchill)就是一位演讲大师,他非常善于运用这类修辞手法。在第二次世界大战中,当德国开始入侵苏联时,丘吉尔发表了举世闻名的演讲。他在演讲中多处运用了对称句,其中连续用了七个“Isee……”,有力地揭露了法西斯的残暴,歌颂了苏联人民浴血奋战的高尚精神。这七个排比句犹如七幅连续闪动的画面,使听众情绪激昂,热血沸腾。
当然演讲时还可以运用比喻、重复等修辞手段,但运用比喻时一定要准确、恰当。
3、语速与音量(speed and volume)
演讲时速度快慢与声音大小也非常重要,但往往为人们所忽视。说话速度太快别人听起来吃力;说慢了又让听众感到拖拖拉拉而失去了兴趣。同样,说话声音太大或离话筒太近,会使听众感到心烦意乱无法集中注意力;反之,声音太小,听众听不清你说些什么精神也会溜号。
那么怎样把握说话速度与声音大小呢?要看演讲现场空间的大小。空间大,说话的速度就要稍慢一点,声音则要略大一些。当然还要考虑听众多少,音响设备如何。如果你不是第一个演讲者,你可以通过别人的演讲效果来弄清这些情况。二要看听众的英语水平,是学生、老师还是外国专家?若是三者都有,你应当以谁为主?谁将为你判定成绩?
