i. Introduction: Speaking in Public Requires More than a Voice
i. 引言：在公共场合演讲需要的不仅仅是声音

These guidelines are written for university students who want to improve their public speaking skills through competition or otherwise. They indicate some of the proven skills required and briefly indicate how they may be achieved.
这些指南是为希望通过比赛或其他方式提高公开演讲技巧的大学生编写的。它们指出了一些所需的已证明技能，并简要说明了如何实现这些技能。

A prepared speech should be written before it is delivered. This allows speakers to ensure that they are making relevant and sensible comments in a logical order and using appropriate language. It is evident that preparation requires practice and rehearsal, but it also requires the written speech to be worked on so that notes can be used effectively. Guidance will be given as to how to do this.
准备好的演讲应在发表之前写好。这使演讲者能够确保他们按照逻辑顺序发表相关且明智的评论，并使用适当的语言。很明显，准备工作需要练习和排练，但也需要对书面演讲进行修改，以便有效地使用笔记。将提供有关如何执行此操作的指导。

When giving a speech or presentation, the“how” is as important as the“what”. It has been found that70% of communication is visual rather than verbal. Therefore, the content alone may not be enough to hold the interest of an audience. Indeed, there are many potentially interesting and entertaining topics that are made boring because the speaker has not learnt how to deliver their ideas and information appropriately. Likewise, interesting content well delivered in visual terms can be destroyed by a flat monotone,a harsh harangue or a weak chatty voice.
在进行演讲或演示时，“如何”与“什么”同样重要。已经发现70% 的交流是视觉而不是语言。因此，仅靠内容可能不足以吸引观众的兴趣。事实上，有许多可能有趣和有趣的话题变得无聊，因为演讲者没有学会如何适当地传达他们的想法和信息。同样，在视觉上很好地传递的有趣内容可能会被平淡的单调、刺耳的喋喋不休或微弱的健谈声音所破坏。

Learning how to give a short speech for which there has not been time given for preparation is a useful skill. It enables people to practice thinking on their feet whilst at the same time organizing what they want to say into an understandable structure. Guidance is provided on how to deal with impromptu speeches.
学习如何在没有时间准备的情况下发表简短的演讲是一项有用的技能。它使人们能够练习独立思考，同时将他们想说的内容组织成一个易于理解的结构。提供了有关如何处理即兴演讲的指导。

Guidance is therefore given in three sections:
因此，指南分为三个部分：

· How to write a speech - script content and script preparation
·如何撰写演讲稿 - 剧本内容和剧本准备

· How to deliver a speech-vocal delivery and physical delivery
·如何进行语音传递和物理传递

· Impromptu speeches
·即兴演讲

Note: Speaking competitions are sometimes judged under 3 headings: Manner ( delivery), Matter( content) and Method ( language). Method, the language element comes into both delivery ( how you say something) and the content ( what you say) so it has not been treated as a separate section in these guidelines.
注意：演讲比赛有时根据 3 个标题进行评判：方式（交付）、事项（内容）和方法（语言）。方法中，语言元素同时进入 delivery （ how you say something） 和 content （ what you say），因此在这些准则中，它没有被视为一个单独的部分。

ii. How to Write a Speech (I): Script Content
ii. 如何撰写演讲稿 （i）：脚本内容

The English language requires the speaker or writer to make themselves clear. It is not up to the listener or reader to guess what is meant. Therefore it is important to be clear what you want to say and to choose the correct language. A collection of words without meaning ( empty words) will not work. Nearly all effective public speakers will write their script in full and work on it before delivering their speech. It is known, for example, that Winston Churchill, one of Great Britain's greatest orators, who
英语要求说话者或作者清楚地表达自己。听众或读者不能猜测这是什么意思。因此，明确您想说什么并选择正确的语言很重要。没有意义的单词集合（空词）将不起作用。 几乎所有有效的公众演讲者都会在发表演讲之前完整地编写他们的脚本并对其进行处理。例如，众所周知，英国最伟大的演说家之一温斯顿·丘吉尔 （Winston Churchill）

had an exceptional command of the English language worked late into the nights on his speeches. They may have sounded spontaneous, but were anything but!
他精通英语，一直工作到深夜进行演讲。他们听起来可能是自发的，但绝非如此！

Answering the following questions will help you get started on the right track.
回答以下问题将帮助您开始走上正确的轨道。

1. What is the topic of your speech? If it has been given to you, then what does it mean?
1. 您的演讲主题是什么？如果它已经给了你，那它意味着什么？

2. Before starting to prepare a speech, think about who will be in your audience, what do they already know, what do they want to know, what will interest them?
2. 在开始准备演讲之前，想想你的听众中会有哪些人，他们已经知道什么，他们想知道什么，他们会对什么感兴趣？

3. Why are you giving the speech, what do you want to achieve, what is your message?
3. 你为什么要发表演讲，你想达到什么目的，你想传达什么信息？

4. How long should you speak for? Where will you deliver your speech?
4. 你应该说话多长时间？您将在哪里发表演讲？

5. What are you going to say?
5. 你要说什么？

In order to answer number 5, brainstorm, think and discuss with friends, colleagues and teachers. Read and research your subject. Gather information and ideas. Make notes.
为了回答第 5 个问题，请与朋友、同事和老师进行头脑风暴、思考和讨论。 阅读并研究您的主题。收集信息和想法。做笔记。

Also be brave! Be prepared, sometimes, to disagree with the sentiment in the statement or quotation but always give your reasons. Be careful about doing this with very well established ideas. They are well established because they have stood the test of time and have been challenged by many people before you. However, even if arguing for a point, be brave and look at the negative aspects. Few issues are black and white and discussing the negative may strengthen the positive. For example, if giving a speech on what you think is the greatest invention and you decide that it is“eye glasses”, describe what the world would be like without glasses: people bumping into each other, less cars on the road or more accidents; people unable to read, written instructions having to be in huge type, rather than describing what glasses can do for people.
也要勇敢！有时，要准备好不同意声明或引文中的观点，但总是给出你的理由。使用非常成熟的想法时要小心。他们已经建立了良好的地位，因为他们经受住了时间的考验，并且已经被许多人在你之前所挑战。然而，即使争论一个观点，也要勇敢地看待消极的一面。很少有问题是非黑即白的，讨论消极因素可能会加强积极因素。例如，如果你就你认为最伟大的发明发表演讲，你决定它是“眼镜”，请描述没有眼镜的世界会是什么样子：人们相互碰撞，路上的汽车更少或事故更多;人们无法阅读，书面说明必须用大字体， 而不是描述眼镜能为人们做些什么。

Another approach is to challenge normally accepted ideas-disagree with them! For example, why is the Internet addictive? Is it? Maybe it isn't? Perhaps people just don't have anything else in their lives, are too lazy to find other forms of entertainment or have no imagination? What happened to books, music, art? Is reading addictive?
另一种方法是挑战通常接受的想法——不同意他们！例如，为什么互联网会让人上瘾？是吗？也许不是？也许人们只是生活中没有其他任何东西，懒得寻找其他形式的娱乐，或者没有想象力？书籍、音乐、艺术怎么了？阅读会上瘾吗？

英语演讲选评 篇

·引文和习语的使用

· Appropriate language
·适当的语言

A clear message and purpose
明确的信息和目标

a) Many speakers are tempted to try to say everything they know about a topic in order to show that they have done their homework and to prove how clever and deep thinking they are. This is a mistake! A list of undeveloped ideas is useless. The audience doesn't have time to think about one idea before the next is spoken and even if they could, they can't mind-read what the speaker thinks or means.
a） 许多演讲者都试图说出他们所知道的关于某个主题的一切，以表明他们已经做了功课，并证明他们是多么聪明和深入的思考。这是个错误！未开发的想法清单是无用的。听众在说出一个想法之前没有时间思考一个想法，即使他们可以，他们也无法在脑海中读懂演讲者的想法或意思。

b) A good speech will have one clear message( especially true if it is a short speech) that the audience can find convincing. It will attempt to change people's perceptions, to provide a new or unusual way of looking at the topic or to provide entertainment. This is why it is necessary to research your topic to find interesting and relevant information.
b） 一个好的演讲会有一个明确的信息（特别是如果是简短的演讲），听众会觉得很有说服力。它将试图改变人们的看法，提供一种新的或不寻常的方式来看待这个话题，或者提供娱乐。这就是为什么有必要研究您的主题以找到有趣且相关的信息。

c) Generally, a speech should have few ideas but each idea should be developed in greater depth with more analysis than is often the case.( See“Adequate development of ideas” on Page 5.)
c） 一般来说，演讲应该有很少的想法，但每个想法都应该比通常的情况更深入地发展，并进行更多的分析。参见第 5 页的“思想的充分发展”。

Interest to the audience
观众的兴趣

a) There is no value in stating the obvious. It is not interesting to talk about how much you love your parents or grandparents since this is self-evident. 99% of people in the world love their family. What would be more interesting would be to explore why some people don't love their families, though for that, you may need a PhD in psychology and psychiatry to be able to talk with any authority! Speakers should not make self-evident statements as if they are profound thought. Indeed, they should not make self-evident statements in a public speech at all.
a） 陈述显而易见的事情没有价值。谈论你有多爱你的父母或祖父母并不有趣，因为这是不言而喻的。世界上 99% 的人都爱他们的家人。 更有趣的是探索为什么有些人不爱他们的家人，尽管为此，您可能需要心理学和精神病学博士学位才能与任何权威交谈！演讲者不应该做出不言而喻的陈述，仿佛它们是深奥的思想。事实上，他们根本不应该在公开演讲中做出不言而喻的声明。

b) Don't underestimate the intelligence of your audience. People won't find an idea or information interesting if they already know it or if it is obvious. For example, in one competition, the topic given for the prepared speech was“The Internet”. Many speakers wasted time and annoyed their audience by describing the Internet. This was unnecessary since the audience, all university students and judges would already know what it is. Similarly, don't say“When I was young, I learnt to walk and talk.” That is obvious!
b） 不要低估观众的智力。如果人们已经知道某个想法或信息，或者它很明显，他们就不会觉得它有趣。例如，在一次比赛中，准备好的演讲的主题是“互联网”。许多演讲者通过描述 Internet 来浪费时间并惹恼他们的听众。这是不必要的，因为观众、所有大学生和评委都已经知道它是什么。同样，不要说“当我年轻的时候，我学会了走路和说话”。这是显而易见的！

c) In English, moralistic platitudes such as“working hard for tomorrow”, “striving to do one’ s best”, “wanting to live a good life” and“hoping for a bright future” are self-evident and therefore not interesting. Similarly, phrases, such as“a bright future”, “attaining my dream”, are clichéd and in English sound insincere. Don't say“You should work hard and you will realize your dreams.” That is nonsense! Many people work hard all their lives and don't realize their dreams because their dreams are unrealistic, or they don't have and can't learn the necessary skills, or they just don't get the lucky breaks. All intelligent people know that hard work is likely to bring some reward, and they don't have to be told so.
c） 在英语中，诸如“为明天努力”、“努力做到最好”、“想过上好日子”和“希望光明的未来”等道德主义陈词滥调是不言而喻的，因此没有意思。同样，诸如“a bright future”、“attaining my dream”等短语是陈词滥调，在英语中听起来很不真诚。不要说“你应该努力工作，你会实现你的梦想”。那是无稽之谈！许多人一生努力工作，没有实现自己的梦想，因为他们的梦想不切实际，或者他们没有也无法学习必要的技能，或者他们只是没有得到幸运的休息。所有聪明的人都知道努力工作可能会带来一些回报，他们不必被告知。

Part One演讲的基本原则

Adequate development of ideas
充分发展想法

a) Having decided how you will tackle the topic, it is important to then develop your ideas. This means looking below the surface of the obvious. Many potentially good ideas die for lack of development. Too often a speech is made up of a lot of disconnected sound-bites or obtuse sentences which relate to the topic but which cannot be understood without further development. The English language requires speakers and writers to be clear and not to leave room for multiple interpretations.
a） 在决定了你将如何解决这个话题之后，发展你的想法是很重要的。这意味着要看清显而易见的表面之下。许多潜在的好主意因缺乏发展而夭折。很多时候，演讲由许多不连贯的片段或晦涩的句子组成，这些句子与主题相关，但如果不进一步发展就无法理解。英语要求说话人和作者清晰明了，不要为多种解释留下空间。

b) Less is more! This means that rather than thinking of a lot of things to say about the topic of the speech, it is much better to take one point and develop that point. Educated people are expected to display a reasonably high degree of analysis when they stand before an audience. For example, instead of listing all the possible uses of the Internet in modern life - pick on one and show what effect it has. “Children living in remote rural areas can be taught online. They can have access to teachers via email and get tutorial help on a one-to-one basis, even face to face where there is a video link. Money would be saved by not having to provide school buildings and children could live at home instead of having to board. Distance learning has been available to rural children in Australia for many years initially via radio links....” By delving deeper, speakers look for interesting, unusual or little known perspectives and then explore them. This will help to make the speech interesting.
b） 少即是多！这意味着，与其想很多关于演讲主题要说的事情，不如拿一个点并发展那个点。受过教育的人在站在观众面前时，应该表现出相当高的分析能力。例如，与其列出互联网在现代生活中的所有可能用途，不如选择一个并展示它有什么影响。“生活在偏远农村地区的儿童可以在线接受教育。他们可以通过电子邮件与老师联系，并获得一对一的教程帮助，甚至可以在有视频链接的情况下面对面获得帮助。不必提供校舍可以省钱，孩子们可以住在家里，而不必寄宿。多年来，澳大利亚的农村儿童最初是通过无线电链接进行远程学习的......”通过深入研究，演讲者会寻找有趣、不寻常或鲜为人知的观点，然后进行探索。这将有助于使演讲变得有趣。

c) When given a topic, don't think“What do I think about this?” Better is to explore the topic by thinking“What does this mean? What are the implications? What might other people in other societies think? How can I challenge this idea?” Exploring means following different paths to see where they might lead. You don't have to agree with or believe in any of them in order to use them.
c） 当给定一个主题时，不要想“我对此有什么看法？更好的方法是通过思考“这是什么意思？这意味着什么？其他社会的其他人可能会怎么想？我该如何挑战这个想法？探索意味着遵循不同的路径，看看它们可能会通向何方。您不必同意或相信它们中的任何一个即可使用它们。

d) However, you do have to substantiate all assertions. In other words, give reasons for saying what you say. Analyze and think through the implications of what you are asserting. Give clear reasons and examples for anything that you state, otherwise why should anyone believe you? Provide hard evidence in the form of acceptable statistics, if possible.
d） 但是，您确实必须证实所有断言。换句话说，给出说出你所说的理由。分析并思考你所断言的含义。为你所说的任何事情提供明确的理由和例子，否则为什么有人要相信你呢？ 如果可能，以可接受的统计数据的形式提供确凿的证据。

e) Make any description vivid by using appropriate adjectives and adverbs and word pictures. For example, “Have you ever seen a tree that is growing plastic bags? Not a pretty sight is it? Our urban environment need not look like a rubbish dump if everyone stopped throwing their rubbish in the streets for other people to clean up or the wind to blow into the trees. Imagine if our cities were litter free. How much prettier they would look! How much healthier they would be!”
e） 使用适当的形容词、副词和文字图片，使任何描述生动起来。例如，“你见过一棵长塑料袋的树吗？这不是一个漂亮的景象，不是吗？如果每个人都停止将垃圾扔在街上供其他人清理或风吹到树上，我们的城市环境就不必看起来像一个垃圾场。想象一下，如果我们的城市没有垃圾。他们看起来会漂亮多！他们会更健康啊！

f) Keep any story very short and try to make them relevant to your audience. Don't tell a long rambling story about a friend in your hometown who the audience can't know or care about. Remember you must convince your audience that what you are saying is worthy of their attention.
f） 保持任何故事非常简短，并尝试使它们与您的受众相关。不要讲一个关于你家乡的朋友的长篇大论的故事，观众无法认识或不关心他。 请记住，您必须说服您的听众您所说的值得他们关注。

g) Many people use their speech to give advice to the audience. This is boring and generally inappropriate especially from young people who lack experience. Instead of telling the audience how to live their lives, it would be better to analyze the topic and explore its meaning. The well mannered use of English language is generally more suggestive than prescriptive and most audiences prefer to have ideas described not forced upon them as the only correct way to think.
g） 许多人用他们的演讲给听众建议。这很无聊，而且通常不合适，尤其是对于缺乏经验的年轻人来说。与其告诉观众如何过他们的生活，不如分析这个话题并探索它的含义。彬彬有礼地使用英语通常更具暗示性而不是规定性，大多数观众更喜欢将想法描述而不是强加给他们作为唯一正确的思考方式。

英语演讲选评100篇

h) Similarly, exhorting the audience to“try your best” is fairly meaningless, pointless and rather arrogant. Again young people are not in a position to tell their peers to do anything. They may suggest that their audience consider doing something but they should be specific. It is self-evident that everything should be done to the best of one's ability.
h） 同样，劝告观众 “尽力而为” 是相当没有意义的、毫无意义的，而且相当傲慢。同样，年轻人无法告诉他们的同龄人做任何事情。他们可能会建议他们的听众考虑做某事，但他们应该具体。不言而喻，一切都应该尽其所能。

A clear structure
清晰的结构

a) A clear structure is important for understanding. It is necessary to help your listeners to grasp the main points and to recognize why you are presenting these points, i. e. why they are important. The structure is like a map and as you follow your route across the“map” you provide verbal signposts for your audience so that they can follow you ( see below). Of course, you need to ensure that the“route” is logical and is neither repetitious nor irrelevant. The structure requires an introduction, a body and a conclusion.
a） 清晰的结构对于理解很重要。有必要帮助你的听众掌握要点并认识到你为什么要提出这些要点，即为什么它们很重要。该结构就像一张地图，当您沿着路线穿过 “地图” 时，您会为您的受众提供口头路标，以便他们可以跟随您（见下文）。当然，您需要确保 “route” 是合乎逻辑的，既不重复也不无关紧要。结构需要一个引言、一个正文和一个结论。

b) The introduction tells your listeners what you are going to speak about: how you are going to tackle the topic. It should be short and interesting. You need to capture your audience's attention. A speaker will often begin a speech by saying, “My topic is ... and first I'm going to tell you about AA and then I' ll talk about BB and finally I' ll conclude by summing up my ideas about A and B.” This is a good introduction but in competition it can be very boring if every speaker starts in this way. It is not necessary in a short speech to actually say what the structure is, but there should be one.
b） 引言告诉你的听众你要讲什么：你将如何解决这个话题。它应该简短而有趣。您需要吸引观众的注意力。 演讲者通常会在演讲开始时说：“我的主题是......首先，我将告诉你关于 AA 的事情，然后我会谈谈 BB，最后我将总结我对 A 和 B 的想法。这是一个很好的介绍，但在比赛中，如果每个演讲者都以这种方式开始，那可能会非常无聊。 在简短的演讲中，没有必要实际说明结构是什么，但应该有一个。

c) In a short speech, it is better to start by making a few general comments relating to the topic then to develop those same comments in the body of the speech. The conclusion should emphasize your main argument and concisely repeat the main points and re late them back to the introduction to form a rounded structure which allows the main point(s) to be memorable.
c） 在简短的演讲中，最好先做一些与主题相关的一般性评论，然后在演讲正文中发展这些相同的评论。结论应该强调你的主要论点，简洁地重复要点，并将它们回到引言中，以形成一个圆润的结构，使要点令人难忘。

d) Speakers should not give long lists of anything. If it is necessary, then classify the ideas, for example: individually, regionally, nationally and internationally. Lists are boring to listen to and no one will remember more than a couple of the items on the list so they are pointless. 6
d） 演讲者不应列出任何长篇大论。如有必要，则对想法进行分类，例如：个人、区域、国家和国际。列表听起来很无聊，没有人会记住列表中的几个项目，所以它们毫无意义。 6

Logical flow-transitions and signposting
逻辑流转换和路标

a) Within the structure there must be a logical flow of words and ideas. Words will flow logically if they are presented in complete sentences. Ideas in a speech will flow logically if they are presented either deductively or inductively. This means that they can be developed from the general to the specific or vice versa. Probably the easiest way is to start with some general comments and become more specific and detailed as you progress through the speech. Some people may prefer to start with details and come to a general conclusion towards the end, this is often a better way when giving an impromptu speech where you have had little time to think through the evidence for the general statement you made.
a） 在结构中，必须有文字和思想的逻辑流。如果单词以完整的句子形式呈现，它们将合乎逻辑地流动。如果演讲中的想法以演绎或归纳的方式呈现，它们就会合乎逻辑地流动。这意味着它们可以从一般发展到特定，反之亦然。可能最简单的方法是从一些一般性评论开始，然后随着演讲的进展变得更加具体和详细。有些人可能更喜欢从细节开始，然后在最后得出一般结论，在进行即兴演讲时，这通常是一种更好的方法，因为您几乎没有时间考虑您所做的一般陈述的证据。

b) Whichever structure you decide on, it is important to keep your audience with you and not to ramble. Do this through the use of transitions and signposting. The use of transitions such as“therefore, however, on the other hand, similarly, also, firstly, secondly, thirdly, another point is,
b） 无论您决定采用哪种结构，重要的是让您的听众与您在一起，而不是漫无边际。通过使用过渡和路标来做到这一点。使用诸如“因此，然而，另一方面，同样，也，第一，第二，第三，另一点是，

Part One 演讲的基本原则

a good example of this is, I can illustrate this by...” will help both you and your audience to stay focused.
一个很好的例子是，我可以通过以下方式来说明这一点......”将帮助您和观众保持专注。

c) Signposting is a useful way of showing your audience where you are in your speech. For example, “I’ ve talked about Aids in Africa to illustrate my point about the need for public awareness and now I' ll tell you about the campaign in ...” Obviously, transitions such as firstly, secondly are also useful aids to signposting.
c） 路标是向听众展示您在演讲中的位置的有用方式。例如，“我已经谈到了非洲的艾滋病，以说明我关于公众意识的必要性，现在我将告诉你关于......”的运动。显然，firstly、second 等过渡也是路标的有用辅助工具。

d) A speech should flow. This means that sentences should be connected with linking words and phrases, such as“therefore, because, on the other hand, as well as …”, and the sentences should relate to each other. Ask yourself after every sentence, does it make sense? Does it relate to the previous and following sentences? Is there a logical development of the idea?
d） 演讲应该流畅。这意味着句子应该与连接词和短语相连，例如“因此，因为，另一方面，以及......”，并且句子应该彼此关联。每句话后都问自己，这有意义吗？它与前面和后面的句子有关吗？这个想法有没有逻辑的发展？

An entertainment element-humor and/ or word pictures
娱乐元素 - 幽默和/或文字图片

a) Not all topics are suitable for a humorous approach and not all speakers find it easy to be humorous. However, it is inescapable that well received speeches are usually the ones that make people laugh as well as think. Humor does not necessarily mean the telling of jokes, though if you know one relating to your topic which you can tell succinctly, it may be useful to use it.
a） 并非所有话题都适合幽默的方法，也不是所有的演讲者都觉得幽默很容易。然而，不可避免的是，广受好评的演讲通常是让人们发笑和思考的演讲。幽默并不一定意味着讲笑话，但如果你知道一个与你的主题相关的笑话，你可以简洁地讲述，那么使用它可能会很有用。

b) It is possible to be humorous by the way you tackle the topic. Most human situations have their funny side – that is what makes them human – so try to find these and use them in your speech if appropriate. Delivering a sentence with a twinkle in your eye can make it lighter than it might otherwise be. Fun topics allow the speaker's imagination to soar and treating a topic in a light- hearted way often provides entertainment. Many light or potentially exciting subjects are treated too seriously. For example, “The greatest invention in my opinion is mascara/ high heeled shoes/a football.” These speeches must be entertaining. Without humor, they sound rather silly.
b） 你处理这个话题的方式可以很幽默。大多数人类情况都有其有趣的一面——这就是它们成为人类的原因——所以试着找到这些并在适当的时候在你的演讲中使用它们。说出一个眼中闪烁的句子可以使它比其他情况更轻松。有趣的话题可以让演讲者的想象力翱翔，以轻松的方式处理一个话题通常会带来娱乐。许多轻松或可能令人兴奋的主题被过于严肃地对待。例如，“在我看来最伟大的发明是睫毛膏/高跟鞋/足球。这些演讲必须具有娱乐性。没有幽默感，他们听起来相当愚蠢。

c) Another way to make a speech come alive and to be entertaining is through the use of word pictures. This is when a speaker describes a situation with such powerful language, that the audience can believe themselves involved, to be at the place described or to be able to see the situation for themselves. Care must be taken not to become overly sentimental or emotional however.
c） 另一种使演讲生动有趣并使用文字图片的方法。这是当演讲者用如此有力的语言描述一种情况时，听众可以相信自己参与其中，在所描述的地方或能够亲眼看到情况。但是，必须注意不要变得过于多愁善感或情绪化。

d) In contrast, serious subjects should be treated seriously and not made light of. It is considered in“bad taste” and is bad manners to make fun of distressing situations or disadvantaged people.
d） 相反，严肃的话题应该被认真对待，而不是轻视。它被认为是“低俗的”，取笑令人痛苦的情况或弱势群体是不礼貌的。

The use of quotations and idioms
引文和习语的使用

a) The use of quotations, idioms and proverbs is to colour and help explain meaning. They must be relevant to the topic and to what has just been said and is about to be said. It is pointless to inject“time is money” into a speech about economic development unless the relevance is explained. The speaker needs to show why they are saying it. Another example, “The Internet is a friend: a bridge over troubled waters.” What“troubles”? How“a bridge”? Explain it or don't use it!
a） 使用引文、成语和谚语是为了着色并帮助解释含义。它们必须与主题以及刚刚说过和即将说的内容相关。除非解释其相关性，否则在关于经济发展的演讲中注入“时间就是金钱”是没有意义的。演讲者需要说明他们为什么这么说。另一个例子是“互联网是朋友：浑水之上的桥梁”。什么“麻烦”？如何“一座桥”？解释它或不使用它！

b) Quotations must be correctly used. This requires knowledge of the original meaning and context. This may require research in order to check. For example, “To be or not to be, that is the question.”
b） 必须正确使用报价。这需要了解原意和上下文。 这可能需要研究才能检查。例如，“To be or not to be，这就是问题。

英语演讲选评100篇

This comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet where the Prince is debating with himself about the meaning of“existence” and questioning whether it is better to live an unhappy life or to end it by committing suicide. Therefore it is a serious issue and should not be treated lightly.
这来自莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》，王子正在与自己辩论“存在”的含义，并质疑过不快乐的生活还是通过自杀结束生活更好。因此，这是一个严重的问题，不应掉以轻心。

c) If quotations, idioms or proverbs are being used by a speaker, they should be uncorrupted. In other words they should not be changed; they must be accurate. For example, it should be“That's how the cookie crumbles” not“That's how the cookie comes”. It is necessary to research quotations on a reliable website or in a good anthology.
c） 如果说话者正在使用引文、成语或谚语，它们应该是完整的。换句话说，它们不应该被改变;它们必须是准确的。例如，它应该是“That's how the cookie crumbles”而不是“That's how the cookie comes”。有必要在可靠的网站或好的选集中研究报价。

d) Similarly, idiomatic expressions should be complete. For example, “There can be miracles when you believe”-in what? It is necessary to say in what you believe in order that there can be miracles- and understanding!
d） 同样，惯用语应该是完整的。例如，“当你相信时，就会有奇迹”——在什么？有必要说出你的信仰，这样才会有奇迹和理解！

e) Quotations, idioms and proverbs should not be overused. In a 3-minute speech, there is no room for more than 1 or 2.
e） 引文、成语和谚语不应过度使用。在 3 分钟的演讲中，不能超过 1 或 2 个。

f) Try to use idioms that are less well-known. For example, in competitions, there seems to be a fixation with“every coin has two sides”. Apart from being boring, this often merely shows the speaker is missing the point because often the issues they are talking about have more than 2 or even3 sides!
f） 尝试使用不太知名的习语。例如，在比赛中，似乎有一种固定的 “每个硬币都有两个面 ”的固定。除了无聊之外，这通常只是表明演讲者没有抓住重点，因为他们所谈论的问题通常有超过 2 个甚至 3个方面！

g) If the topic of the speech is a quotation or well-known saying of some kind, do not explain it. The task is to identify the issue that the quotation or saying is addressing and explore that, not the words of the quotation. For example, “Hope brings success”. People understand what“hope” is; they don’ t need it to be described for them. What is needed, for example, is an exploration of how hope can sometimes lead to success but at other times may not, that without hope life would be dull but that hope alone without hard work and good luck is unlikely to lead to success in anything.
g） 如果演讲的主题是某种引文或知名谚语，请不要解释它。任务是确定引文或谚语所解决的问题并探索它，而不是引文的文字。例如，“希望带来成功”。人们明白什么是“希望”;他们不需要为他们描述它。例如，我们需要探索希望有时如何导致成功，但有时可能不会，没有希望，生活将是沉闷的，但如果没有努力工作和好运气，仅凭希望不太可能导致任何事情的成功。

Appropriate language
适当的语言

a) Because a speaker has time to prepare a speech, it is expected that the speech will not only have some interesting content, but that it will have some interesting language. Part of the research that speakers do is to find useful words and phrases that will make their ideas more expressive and memorable. This does not mean that a speaker should sound like a walking dictionary, but because there is time to find just the right word, they should do so. A good English-English dictionary and Thesaurus are invaluable when preparing.
a） 因为演讲者有时间准备演讲，所以预计演讲不仅会有一些有趣的内容，而且会有一些有趣的语言。 演讲者所做的部分研究是找到有用的单词和短语，这些单词和短语将使他们的想法更具表现力和令人难忘。这并不意味着扬声器听起来应该像一本行走的词典，但因为有时间找到合适的词，他们应该这样做。在准备时，一本好的英英词典和同义词库是无价的。

b) Beware of using jargon. Having considered who your audience will be before you started writing, it is obvious that you should adjust your language to what they will appreciate. For example, don't use technical language to an audience who are not sufficiently expert in the field. In competitions, try to find unusual analogies. In one competition, judges and audience heard nearly 100 speeches in which“One click of the mouse” was repeated in nearly every speech. This became very tedious. Whilst it was a relevant comment, its frequent use has become clichéd. Speakers should be aware that the use of clichés can sound insincere and uninteresting.
b） 当心使用行话。在开始写作之前考虑过你的听众是谁，很明显你应该调整你的语言以适应他们会喜欢的东西。例如，不要对在该领域不够专业的受众使用技术语言。在比赛中，尝试找到不寻常的类比。在一次比赛中，评委和观众听到了近 100 场演讲，其中几乎每场演讲都重复了“一键鼠标”。这变得非常乏味。 虽然这是一个相关的评论，但它的频繁使用已经成为陈词滥调。演讲者应该意识到，使用陈词滥调听起来可能不真诚和无趣。

c) In a prepared speech there is no excuse for ungrammatical language since there has been plenty
c） 在准备好的演讲中，没有理由使用不合语法的语言，因为已经有很多了

Part One 演讲的基本原则

of time to check and to practice. For example, “knowledge” not“knowledges”; and“pop out the question”, “here comes my reason” are Chinglish. It looks careless if grammar and pronunciation are incorrect as the speaker has had time to check and to practice.
检查和练习的时间。例如，“knowledge” 而不是 “knowledges”;和“弹出问题”、“Here Comes My Reason”是中式英语。如果语法和发音不正确，看起来就很粗心了，因为说话者已经有时间检查和练习了。

d) Be aware that calling on God, as in“Oh my God!” could be very offensive to some people.
d） 请注意，呼求上帝，如“Oh my God！”，对某些人来说可能是非常冒犯的。

iii. How to Write a Speech (II): Script Preparation
iii. 如何撰写演讲稿（II）：剧本准备

a) Speakers who read their speech from an unprepared script will be very uninteresting to listen to. Reading a closely typed page of text will inevitably mean that their voice will drop and that the message will be lost. The speaker will be unable to have eye contact with their audience without losing their place and will therefore appear to lack conviction. It would be better that the audience be given the script to read for themselves!
a） 从未经准备的脚本中阅读演讲的演讲者将非常无趣。阅读一页紧密输入的文本将不可避免地意味着他们的声音会下降并且消息会丢失。演讲者将无法在不失去位置的情况下与听众进行眼神交流，因此会显得缺乏信念。最好让观众自己阅读剧本！

b) Likewise, speakers who commit their speech to memory are unlikely to make a good job of delivering it. They may find themselves unable to remember exactly what they wanted to say or may speak too quickly in order to say it before they forget it. Often they are so busy trying not to forget what they want to say, they forget they have an audience.
b） 同样，将演讲内容牢记在心的演讲者不太可能很好地表达出来。他们可能会发现自己无法准确记住自己想说的话，或者可能会说得太快，以便在忘记之前说出来。他们经常忙于不忘记他们想说的话，他们忘记了他们有听众。

c) When writing your speech, be aware that the language will be spoken; it is different from written language. For example, “I answered with a smile” is written language, not something that anyone would or should say. Check by reading your speech aloud. If it sounds odd, the reason may be that you are using written language.
c） 在写演讲稿时，请注意会说出该语言;它与书面语言不同。例如，“I answered with a smile” 是书面语言，不是任何人都会或应该说的东西。通过大声朗读您的演讲来检查。如果听起来很奇怪，原因可能是您使用的是书面语言。

Preparing a full script
准备完整脚本

Inexperienced speakers are likely to need the confidence of having a fully scripted speech in front of them. However, the script must be prepared so that it is easily referred to. The process of doing this will help the speaker to remember what they want to say and will also help them think about the delivery. They may not need to refer to it but it will provide some insurance in case their mind goes blank. The idea is to prepare the script of the speech so that if necessary, the speaker can refer to it without losing eye contact with their audience.
没有经验的演讲者可能需要有信心在他们面前有一个完整的脚本演讲。但是，必须准备脚本，以便于引用。这样做的过程将帮助演讲者记住他们想说的话，也将帮助他们考虑交付。 他们可能不需要参考它，但它会提供一些保险，以防他们的大脑一片空白。这个想法是准备演讲的脚本，以便在必要时，演讲者可以在不失去与听众的眼神交流的情况下参考它。

Preparing the full script entails:
准备完整脚本需要：

· Double spacing the lines of type.
·将 type 的行间距加倍。

· Separating the main points by using numbers, bullet points, bold and colour.
·通过使用数字、项目符号、粗体和颜色来分隔要点。

· Highlighting words you want to emphasize.
·突出显示要强调的单词。

· Marking where you are going to pause.
·标记您要暂停的位置。

· Writing out the phonetics or separating the syllables of difficult words in very large type so that they are easy to see at a glance.
·用非常大的字体写出语音或分隔困难单词的音节，以便一目了然。

· Numbering the pages.
·为页面编号。

Preparing notes
准备注释

The aim for more experienced speakers should be to reduce the speech to notes that are partially scripted or even just to headings. It is sometimes useful to have the opening and final remarks fully written out, but the body of the speech should be reduced to key points. This will give confidence and reassurance that nothing has been forgotten and it will keep the flow logical.
更有经验的演讲者的目标应该是将语音减少为部分脚本的注释，甚至只是标题。有时，将开场白和结束语完整写出来是有用的，但演讲的主体应该减少到关键点。这将给人信心和保证，没有任何东西被遗忘，它将保持流程的逻辑性。

Reducing the script to note form entails:
将脚本简化为注释形式需要：

· Writing out the main headings for each main point - use font that is large enough to be seen at a glance.
·写出每个要点的主要标题 - 使用足够大以便一目了然的字体。

· Highlighting words or phrases to be emphasized.
·突出显示要强调的单词或短语。

• Shortening the detail by using single words instead of sentences.
• 通过使用单个单词而不是句子来缩短细节。

· Copying the notes onto small cards that will be less obtrusive than sheets of paper and which can be hidden in the hand or behind the microphone.
·将笔记复制到小卡片上，这些卡片不会像纸那样突兀，并且可以隐藏在手中或麦克风后面。

· Numbering the cards.
·对卡片进行编号。

iv. How to Deliver a Speech (I): Vocal Delivery
iv. 如何发表演讲 （I）： 发声

It is interesting to note that, in English, speeches are always“given” or“delivered”. They are never“said”. When giving a speech therefore, it is useful to think of yourself as playing a part, i. e. acting.( This idea often helps speakers to overcome their nervousness.) On the other hand, it is important to be able to speak with conviction and to project your personality. How you speak is important!
有趣的是，在英语中，演讲总是 “given” 或 “delivered” 的。他们从来没有“说过”。因此，在发表演讲时，将自己视为一个角色是有用的，即表演。（这个想法通常可以帮助演讲者克服紧张。另一方面，能够坚定地说话并展现自己的个性也很重要。你怎么说话很重要！

Audibility: you must be heard!
可听性：您必须被听到！

a) Project your voice towards the back of the room, but don't shout! Also don't let the volume of your voice drop at the end of sentences.
a） 将您的声音投射到房间后面，但不要大喊大叫！另外，不要让句子末尾的音量降低。

b) Curtains and carpets absorb sound so raise your voice more in rooms that have soft furnishings.
b） 窗帘和地毯会吸收声音，因此在有软家具的房间里会提高声音。

c) If using a microphone, practice beforehand. Check the range: how far can you move without losing sound, can you turn your head? Don't fiddle with the microphone when speaking.
c） 如果使用麦克风，请事先练习。检查范围：你能移动多远而不失去声音，你能转头吗？说话时不要摆弄麦克风。

Pace: don't speak too quickly!
步调：不要说得太快！

10 a) Speed does not equal fluency. In public speaking you need to speak more slowly than you would
10 a） 速度不等于流利。在公开演讲中，你需要比你说话慢

Part One 演讲的基本原则

in normal conversation. Generally, the larger the audience the slower you should speak.
在正常对话中。一般来说，听众越多，你说话的速度就越慢。

b) Vary the pace at which you speak. This adds interest and allows you to emphasize important points.
b） 改变你说话的速度。这增加了兴趣并允许您强调要点。

Pauses: let it sink in!
停顿：让它沉浸其中！

Speaking slowly with pauses between words allows you to emphasize important points. You should also pause after making an important point so that the audience is able to take in what you have said before thinking about the next point. The effective use of pauses is one of the most important aspects of speech delivery.
慢慢说，单词之间停顿可以让你强调要点。 在提出重要观点后，您也应该暂停，以便听众能够在考虑下一点之前吸收您所说的内容。有效使用停顿是语音传递最重要的方面之一。

Pitch: variety adds interest!
推销：多样性增加了兴趣！

a) A flat monotonous voice will send your audience to sleep. Voices should rise and fall naturally giving expression to what you are saying. Forcing your voice up or down or making it soft or hard when it is not appropriate will make you sound insincere. For example, suddenly softening your voice to give the title of a book or to mention that GDP has risen sounds insincere.
a） 平淡单调的声音会让你的听众入睡。声音应该自然地起伏，以表达您所说的话。在不合适的时候强迫你提高或降低你的声音或使其柔和或坚硬，会让你听起来不真诚。例如，突然放慢声音说出一本书的标题或提到 GDP 已经上升，听起来很不真诚。

b) Speak with conviction, sincerity and warmth. Relate the type of delivery to the type of topic. There are many topics that require a passionate delivery. However, remember that passion is not the same as emotion. Do not be emotional! Outbursts of emotion will make the audience feel very uncomfortable and are unlikely to be well received. It certainly will not be persuasive.
b） 以信念、真诚和热情的方式说话。将投放类型与主题类型相关联。 有很多话题需要热情的演讲。但是，请记住，激情与情感不同。不要情绪化！情绪的爆发会让观众感到非常不舒服，不太可能得到好评。它肯定不会有说服力。

c) Similarly, do not talk fervently about unimportant subjects. It sounds silly and you may appear to be rather like a mad dictator!
c） 同样，不要热衷于谈论不重要的话题。这听起来很愚蠢，你可能看起来更像一个疯狂的独裁者！

d) In contrast, to chat or to be quietly thoughtful (i. e. appear to be making it up as you go along) is not delivering a speech. Preparation should have been done and therefore the audience should be able to see and hear that it has been done.
d） 相反，聊天或安静地思考（即似乎在你进行时编造它）不是发表演讲。准备工作应该已经完成，因此观众应该能够看到和听到它已经完成。

Pronunciation: say the words correctly!
发音： 正确地说出单词！

Learn how to say words correctly,e. g. ph sounds [f] and tion sounds [ʃən]. Get the stress correct,e. g.“e con o my” but“e con omic”. Write out the phonetics, or the syllables, of difficult words in large type so you can see them easily when speaking. When learning English, we are often told about the use of stress in pronunciation and about elision,i. e. the way syllables and even groups of words are sometimes run together in order to sound correct. However, when speaking in public, it is important to slow down speech and often to separate syllables and words more than we would in normal conversation.
学习如何正确说出单词，例如 ph 音 [f] 和 tion 音 [ʃən]。正确地调整重音，例如“e con o my” but“e con omic”.用大字体写出难词的语音或音节，以便您在说话时可以轻松看到它们。在学习英语时，我们经常被告知在发音中使用重音和省略，即音节甚至单词组有时为了听起来正确而组合在一起的方式。然而，在公共场合讲话时，重要的是要放慢说话速度，并且经常比正常对话更多地分离音节和单词。

Enunciation: speak clearly!
发音：说清楚！

a) Public speaking is more formal than conversation so words should be said clearly and completely. For example, pronounce the“t” in“Britain” and don't drop the endings of words,e. g. conviction.
a） 公开演讲比对话更正式，因此应该清晰完整地说出。 例如，在 “Britain” 中发音 “t” 并且不要去掉单词的结尾，例如 conviction。

b) Less word should be contracted. For example, it is alright to say“I don’ t …” but if you want to
b） 应减少单词。例如，可以说“I don' t' ...”但如果你想

11

英语演讲选评100篇

emphasize then say“I do not...” This is better than speaking the word, “don’ t”, loudly.
强调然后说“我不...”这比大声说“不要”这个词要好。

c) Good enunciation and clarity is achieved by not speaking too quickly. You need to slow down in order to enunciate each syllable more clearly than you would normally do in general conversation.
c） 良好的发音和清晰度是通过不要说得太快来实现的。你需要放慢速度，以便比平时在一般对话中更清楚地发音每个音节。

Articulation: fluency!
发音：流利！

a) Being fluent does not mean speaking quickly. Fluency means putting the words together in the correct order for meaning to be clear.
a） 流利并不意味着说得很快。流利度意味着将单词以正确的顺序放在一起，以便含义清晰。

b) Repeat the subject and main points occasionally to help listeners.
b） 偶尔重复主题和要点以帮助听众。

c) Signpost where you are in the speech.( See“Logical flow-transitions and signposting” on Page 6.)
c） 在演讲中你所在的位置做路标。（参见第 6 页的“逻辑流转换和路标”。

Accents: confused?
口音：困惑？

a) Understandably, there is much confusion among non-native English speakers over British, American and other variations of English pronunciation. However, although some vocabulary and pronunciation may vary, educated English speakers do understand each other. If you speak with an accent then it is particularly important that you enunciate your words and avoid slurring ( running your words together). If you have a strong accent, don't speak too quickly.
a） 可以理解的是，非英语母语者对英式、美式和其他英语发音的变体存在很多混淆。然而，尽管一些词汇和发音可能会有所不同，但受过教育的英语使用者确实可以相互理解。如果你说话有口音，那么你要清楚地表达你的词并避免含糊不清（把你的词放在一起）就特别重要了。如果你的口音很重，不要说得太快。

b) Refrain from using colloquialisms ( slang). Indeed there is no place in a formal speech for this type of language. Often it is only understood locally, so you will confuse a non-regional or international audience if you use it.
b） 避免使用口语（俚语）。事实上，这种类型的语言在正式演讲中没有立足之地。通常它只能在本地理解，因此如果您使用它会让非区域或国际受众感到困惑。

v. How to Deliver a Speech (II): Physical Delivery
v. 如何发表演讲（二）：现场演讲

Appearance: look smart!
外观：看起来很聪明！

Appearances matter, perhaps they shouldn't but they do. If you want people to have confidence in what you are saying, you need to present yourself in an efficient and capable light. This means dressing smartly and appropriately for your audience.
外表很重要，也许他们不应该，但他们确实很重要。如果你想让人们对你所说的有信心，你需要以高效和有能力的方式展示自己。这意味着为您的观众穿着得体。

Stance: relax and stand up!
姿势：放松并站起来！

a) It is important to ensure that your voice is performing well. As you take your place in front of your audience, take a few deep breaths and try to relax your lower jaw. When you arrive in front of the lectern, take your time, arrange your notes and settle yourself into a comfortable stance.
a） 确保您的声音表现良好很重要。当您在观众面前就座时，请深呼吸几次，并尝试放松下颌。当你到达讲台前时，慢慢来，整理你的笔记，让自己坐下舒适的姿势。

b) Standing up straight and keeping your head up, allows a good airflow to your lungs. If you let your head drop, clarity and volume will be lost. Slouching, dropping your head or leaning on the table or lectern looks unprofessional and may prevent your audience from hearing you clearly. On the other hand, don't stand like a sentry on duty! You have to be able to move in a natural way in order to add expression to your words.
b） 站直并保持头部抬起，让肺部有良好的气流。如果你低下头，清晰度和体积就会消失。懒散、低头或靠在桌子或讲台上看起来不专业，并且可能会阻止听众清楚地听到您。另一方面，不要像值班的哨兵一样站着！你必须能够以自然的方式移动，以便为你的话添加表达。

12

Part One 演讲的基本原则

c) Body language“says” a lot. You need to look relaxed but in control. For example, avoid clasping your hands together or gripping the lectern as this will inhibit free and natural movement and will increase the tension in your body.
c） 肢体语言“说”了很多。你需要看起来放松但有控制力。例如，避免双手合十或紧握讲台，因为这会抑制自由和自然的运动，并会增加身体的紧张感。

Gestures: not like a puppet!
手势：不像木偶！

a) Gestures and facial expression are both important aids to the spoken word when communicating.A wooden monologue (a speech delivered without expression), without gestures or eye contact, will not be well received. The skill is in deciding how much gesturing to use and in making sure that your gestures are natural. In general, the larger the audience the more expansive should be the gestures, because the face will be less distinct.
a） 在交流时，手势和面部表情都是口语的重要辅助工具。木头独白（没有表情的演讲），没有手势或眼神交流，不会受到好评。技能在于决定使用多少手势并确保你的手势是自然的。一般来说，观众人数越多，手势应该越宽广，因为面部会不那么清晰。

b) We are all different and some people use their hands a lot when speaking. Make sure that your gestures are not repetitive, meaningless or too theatrical. Gestures are used to emphasize the words you are speaking and need to be natural. Clearly not every word needs to be emphasized so it is unnecessary to be waving hands or arms around all the time.
b） 我们都是不同的，有些人在说话时经常用手。确保您的手势不重复、无意义或过于戏剧化。手势用于强调您正在说的话，并且需要自然。显然，并非每个单词都需要强调，因此没有必要一直挥手或挥手。

c) Some people do gesture a lot when they speak. In this case, it is best to also move your body a little otherwise you can look like a puppet. If using a fixed microphone then moving the shoulders as well helps to make you look natural.
c） 有些人在说话时确实会做很多手势。在这种情况下，最好也稍微移动一下你的身体，否则你会看起来像个木偶。如果使用固定麦克风，那么移动肩膀也有助于让您看起来自然。

d) If you are not a naturally expressive person you will need to first decide which areas of your speech would benefit from some emphases or added description. Then practice in front of a mirror. Make sure that your hand movements are not jerky and that they will be clearly seen above the lectern or table in front of you.
d） 如果你不是一个天生善于表达的人，你需要首先决定你的演讲的哪些领域会从一些强调或添加的描述中受益。然后在镜子前练习。 确保您的手部动作不生涩，并且您面前的讲台或桌子上方可以清楚地看到它们。

e) If you are not very tall, then ensure gestures can be seen above the lectern. Stand on a box of appropriate height or make gestures higher. Otherwise your hands may tend to come out from the side of the lectern which looks funny to the audience and may be a distraction rather than a benefit.
e） 如果你不是很高，请确保在讲台上方可以看到手势。站在适当高度的盒子上或做出更高的手势。否则，你的手可能会倾向于从讲台的一侧伸出，这在观众看来很有趣，可能会分散注意力而不是好处。

f) Try to vary your gestures, avoiding repetitive movements or favoring one hand. Timing is also important. If a gesture is to emphasize a point, make sure it occurs when you verbally make the point.
f） 尝试改变你的手势，避免重复的动作或偏爱一只手。时机也很重要。如果一个手势是为了强调一个观点，请确保它在你口头表达观点时发生。

g) Remember gestures are not only made with the hands. The eyes, face, head and indeed the whole body can be brought into use to add emphasis to the spoken word. There is no need to remain rooted to the spot when speaking, although you should remember the microphone if you are using one. This is why it is necessary to try out any equipment beforehand and establish how far you can move without losing sound.
g） 请记住，手势不仅仅是用手做出的。眼睛、脸、头，甚至整个身体都可以用来强调口语。说话时无需原地踏步，但如果您使用麦克风，您应该记住麦克风。 这就是为什么有必要事先试用任何设备并确定您可以在不丢失声音的情况下移动多远。

Eye contact: look around!
眼神交流：环顾四周！

a) To have maximum impact you need to make each member of your audience feel as if you are speaking to them personally. To do this, you need to look at all sections of the audience and not be afraid to move.( In a wide room, you will have to speak louder so that people on one side can still hear when you turn to look at the opposite side of the room.)
a） 为了产生最大的影响，您需要让每个听众都觉得您是在亲自与他们交谈。要做到这一点，你需要看看观众的所有部分，不要害怕移动。在一个宽阔的房间里，你必须大声说话，这样当你转身看向房间的另一侧时，一侧的人仍然可以听到。

b) If you favor one direction, for example only the middle section of the room, the people at the sides may feel you are ignoring them and lose interest in what you are saying. Worse, they may start to chat among themselves, in which case you have“lost” them!
b） 如果你偏爱一个方向，例如只喜欢房间的中间部分，两侧的人可能会觉得你忽略了他们，并对你所说的话失去了兴趣。更糟糕的是，他们可能会开始互相聊天，在这种情况下，您就“失去了”他们！

c) Making eye contact with people is perhaps the most important way of developing rapport with an audience.
c） 与人进行眼神交流可能是与观众建立融洽关系的最重要方式。

Timing: be on time!
时间安排：准时！

a) Accurate timing is essential. You should ensure that you don't fall short or run over the time allowed for your speech. Audiences will soon stop concentrating if they are inconvenienced and other speakers will not be pleased if you“use” their time. In competition, you will lose marks. The best way to overcome this is through preparation and rehearsal. Think clearly about what you want to say and how long you have to say it before you start to write your speech. If you have too much to say, be ruthless and cut it.
a） 准确的时间安排是必不可少的。您应该确保您不会达不到或超过演讲的时间。如果听众感到不便，他们很快就会停止集中注意力，而其他演讲者也不会因为你 “利用 ”他们的时间而感到不高兴。在比赛中，你会失去分数。 克服这个问题的最好方法是通过准备和排练。在开始写演讲之前，请清楚地考虑你想说什么以及你必须说多长时间。如果你有太多话要说，就狠狠地剪掉它。

b) When practicing, make sure that you speak at the correct speed for the size of audience and time yourself. Don't forget to allow time for audience reaction,e. g. laughter.
b） 练习时，请确保您以适合听众规模和时间的语速发言。不要忘记给观众的反应留出时间，例如笑声。

Notes: don't read them!
注意：不要阅读它们！

a) It seems unreasonable to expect any speaker to speak without notes. We are all human and can suffer mental blanks and lapses of memory at the best of times. Having a written speech in front of him will give the speaker confidence and also allow him to concentrate on delivering the speech well, rather than remembering it. The audience will be happier not having a speaker who is rolling his eyes and perspiring whilst trying to remember the brilliant phrases he has prepared. Also, you can be sure that you have said everything you intended to say in a logical order.
a） 期望任何演讲者不做笔记发言似乎不合理。我们都是人，在最好的情况下可能会遭受精神空白和记忆丧失。在他面前有一份书面演讲会给演讲者带来信心，也可以让他专注于做好演讲，而不是记住它。听众会很高兴没有一个一边翻白眼、出汗一边试图记住他准备的精彩短语的演讲者。此外，您可以确定您已经按逻辑顺序说了所有您想说的话。

b) However, notes should not be read to the audience, for they are there to remind you, the speaker, of what you want to say and the order in which you want to say it. Therefore, thorough preparation is still essential and you should be fully acquainted with your subject matter. ( See“How to Write a Speech-Script Preparation” on Page 9.)
b） 但是，不应该向听众读笔记，因为它们是为了提醒您（演讲者）您想说什么以及您想说的顺序。因此，充分的准备仍然是必不可少的，您应该完全熟悉您的主题。（ 参见“如何编写 语音脚本准备“，第 9 页。

c) Notes should be unobtrusive. When giving a formal speech, it is better not to use large sheets ofA4 paper unless you know there will be a lectern. If you will have to hold your notes in your hand, then half size A4 is suitable or even smaller cards. Indeed thin card is better than paper because it doesn't crackle and sheets are less likely to stick together. When giving an informal business presentation, A4 sheets may be suitable but be careful that they don't become a distraction. Either way, do not wave your notes around in front of your audience.
c） 笔记应该不引人注目。在发表正式演讲时，最好不要使用大张A4 纸，除非你知道会有讲台。如果您必须将笔记拿在手中，那么半尺寸的 A4 是合适的，甚至更小的卡片。事实上，薄卡片比纸更好，因为它不会噼啪作响，而且纸张不太可能粘在一起。在进行非正式的商务演示时，A4 纸可能合适，但要小心不要分散注意力。无论哪种方式，都不要在听众面前挥舞你的笔记。

d) If using a lectern, put the notes down and then slide them aside as you use them. Stand back so that you can glance at your notes without losing eye contact with your audience. If the lectern or table is too low, hold your notes in one hand and slide the used sheet or card underneath the pile in your hand. Do not throw them on the floor, crumple them into your pocket or put them on the chair behind you, all of which would be distracting to your audience.
d） 如果使用讲台，请将音符放下，然后在使用时将它们滑到一边。向后退，以便您可以浏览您的笔记，而不会失去与听众的眼神交流。如果讲台或桌子太低，请用一只手拿着你的笔记，并将用过的纸条或卡片滑到你手中的纸牌堆下面。不要把它们扔在地板上，把它们揉成一团放在你的口袋里或放在你后面的椅子上，所有这些都会分散你的听众的注意力。

e) Be sure you have numbered the pages or cards in case you drop them and if using small cards it is a good idea to link them together through holes in one corner for the same reason.
e） 确保你已经对页面或卡片进行了编号，以防你把它们掉下来，如果使用小卡片，出于同样的原因，最好通过一个角落的孔将它们连接在一起。

f) If necessary, pause to glance at your notes as you progress through your speech.
f） 如有必要，在演讲过程中停下来看一眼你的笔记。

Preparing to deliver requires:
准备交付需要：

· Practicing in front of a mirror-full length if possible.
·如果可能的话，在镜子前练习。

· Timing yourself.
·给自己计时。

· Checking for effective gestures, facial expression, body language.
·检查有效的手势、面部表情、肢体语言。

· Asking someone to check your pronunciation and grammar.
·请人检查您的发音和语法。

· Using a dictaphone or video recorder to see how you sound and appear to others.
·使用录音机或录像机查看您的声音和外观。

vi. Impromptu Speaking
vi. 即兴演讲

This is often considered the most difficult task in public speaking. To give a speech without time to prepare, practice and polish your speech is indeed a frightening thought. However, if you can work out ways of tackling and overcoming the difficulty, you will find your reputation as a speaker and your general ability in conversation will improve immeasurably.
这通常被认为是公开演讲中最困难的任务。在没有时间准备、练习和润色你的演讲的情况下发表演讲确实是一个可怕的想法。但是，如果你能想出应对和克服困难的方法，你会发现你作为演讲者的声誉和你的综合对话能力将得到不可估量的提高。

Nervousness
紧张

All good speakers feel nervous before they deliver their speech. This is normal and indeed is a sign that you are keying-up for a special effort. The trick is to control your nerves and make the nervous energy work for you rather than against. If you allow yourself to think about what the audience is thinking about you or whether your tie is straight or your skirt creased, your nerves will begin to control you and take over. Panic will set in, you will not be able to think clearly and the words will become jumbled. To overcome this, you need to concentrate hard on the task in hand and forget about everything else. It is unlikely that you will know nothing about the topic. Take your time and think. Then go with the best idea and develop that with logical reasoning and relevant examples.
所有优秀的演讲者在发表演讲之前都会感到紧张。这是正常的，确实表明您正在为一项特殊的努力做好准备。诀窍是控制你的神经，让紧张的能量为你工作，而不是反对你。如果你让自己想想观众对你的看法，或者你的领带是直的还是裙子有褶皱的，你的神经就会开始控制你并接管你。恐慌会开始，你将无法清晰地思考，文字会变得混乱。为了克服这个问题，您需要全神贯注于手头的任务，忘记其他一切。您不太可能对这个主题一无所知。花点时间思考。然后采用最好的想法，并通过逻辑推理和相关示例来发展它。

Strategy
策略

a) It is not true to say that you can't prepare for impromptu speaking. You can prepare by thinking out a couple of strategies and then putting them into practice. For example, if you consider the topic“time is money”, there are a number of strategies for dealing with it. You could think of the key words and talk about each in turn and then the two together. Or you could think historically ( What could it have meant in the past?); or geographically ( How does such a phrase work in different, maybe primitive, societies?); or comparatively ( What does it mean today compared to a hundred
a） 说你不能为即兴演讲做准备是不正确的。您可以通过思考一些策略，然后将它们付诸实践来做好准备。例如，如果您考虑“时间就是金钱”这个话题，则有许多策略可以处理它。你可以想出关键词，依次谈论每个关键词，然后再把两者放在一起讨论。或者你可以从历史上思考（它在过去可能意味着什么？或地理上（这样的短语在不同的、也许是原始的社会中是如何运作的？或比较 （ 与一百相比，今天意味着什么

years ago?); or problem/ solution ( problems arising from believing this and how to cope with them). Another approach, which is suitable to many subjects, is to summarize the pros and cons and then say which you agree with and why. There are of course other methods. Think of three or four different strategies and then ask friends to fire different topics at you at unusual times. This way you can get a lot of practice in honing your thinking processes.
几年前？或问题/解决方案（因相信这一点而引起的问题以及如何应对）。 另一种适用于许多主题的方法是总结利弊，然后说出你同意哪些以及为什么。当然还有其他方法。想想三四种不同的策略，然后请朋友在不寻常的时候向你提出不同的话题。这样，您可以在磨练您的思维过程方面进行大量练习。

b) If the topic of the impromptu speech is in the form of a question, do answer it!
b） 如果即兴演讲的主题是问题的形式，请务必回答！

c) If the topic is in the form of a statement, try to take a stance by agreeing or not at the outset. If you cannot make up your mind, then use an exploratory approach indicating that as there are many ways of interpreting the topic, caution is necessary. It is often best in this circumstance to take a stance by talking about the topic and coming to a conclusion. Remember the conclusion may be that there is no conclusion-and that is all right!
c） 如果话题是声明的形式，请尝试在一开始就同意或不同意来表明立场。如果你不能下定决心，那么使用一种探索性的方法，表明由于有很多方法可以解释这个话题，所以需要谨慎。在这种情况下，最好通过谈论这个话题并得出结论来表明立场。请记住，结论可能是没有结论——这没关系！

d) If they have no idea what to say about the topic, many speakers resort to describing the picture or explaining the quotation or the subject. This should be a last resort as it is likely to be clear to the audience that the speaker is just filling in time.
d） 如果他们不知道该如何看待这个话题，许多演讲者会求助于描述图片或解释引文或主题。这应该是最后的手段，因为听众很清楚演讲者只是在填补时间。

Structuring an impromptu speech
构建即兴演讲

a) You should aim to make a properly structured mini speech with a beginning, middle and end. It should be reasonably balanced and have a logical flow.
a） 您应该致力于制作一个结构合理的迷你演讲，包括开头、中间和结尾。它应该是合理的平衡，并且有一个逻辑流程。

b) When you are given your topic and if you have a few minutes' preparation time, use it to immediately write down the words that come into your mind. Pick a strategy and mark the words with beginning, middle or end. Try to organize your thoughts logically.
b） 当你得到你的主题并且你有几分钟的准备时间时，用它来立即写下你脑海中出现的单词。选择一种策略并用 beginning、middle 或 end 标记单词。试着合乎逻辑地组织你的想法。

c) It is generally a mistake to start with a definite pronouncement because as your thoughts develop while you speak you may find you are contradicting yourself or that you have dug yourself into a corner. Remember you are thinking on your feet, so it is better to start with a few general remarks and aim to finish on a strong note.
c） 通常，以明确的声明开始是错误的，因为随着你说话时思想的发展，你可能会发现你自相矛盾，或者你把自己挖到了角落里。请记住，您是在独立思考，因此最好从一些一般性评论开始，并以强有力的方式结束。

d) Don't expect too much of yourself. No one is likely to make a profound or earth-shattering statement under such circumstances. Logical analysis and sensible development is preferable to determined assertions that lack substantiation, reasoning or examples.
d） 不要对自己期望过高。在这种情况下，没有人可能做出深刻或惊天动地的声明。逻辑分析和明智的发展比缺乏证据、推理或例子的确定断言更可取。

Timing
定时

Because an impromptu speech is generally short, you should aim to use the time to best advantage. Don't try to say everything there is to say about a subject - limit yourself to two or three points which you should put over as concisely and clearly as possible. It doesn't matter if on reflection you don't agree with yourself, so long as it is a point of view that makes sense.
因为即兴演讲通常很短，所以您应该最好地利用时间。 不要试图说出关于一个主题的所有内容 - 将自己限制在两三个要点上，您应该尽可能简洁明了地提出。如果你仔细想想，你不同意自己并不重要，只要这是一个有道理的观点。

Conclusion
结论

Don't forget all the normal requirements of good delivery: speak up, speak slowly, speak clearly and use gestures and eye contact.
不要忘记良好交付的所有正常要求：大声说话、慢慢说话、说话清晰、使用手势和眼神交流。

Unity and Diversity
统一与多样性

Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, good morning!
尊敬的法官们，女士们，先生们，早上好！

Today I'd like to share some of my thoughts on the topic of“Diversity and Unity”.
今天，我想分享我对“多样性和统一性”这个话题的一些想法。

First of all, let me ask you one question - how many of you want to be yourself? Please raise your hands. Thank you so much for your cooperation. Actually, ever since I began to learn how to make public speeches, I wanted to be anybody else except to be myself.
首先，让我问你一个问题 - 你们中有多少人想做自己？请举手。非常感谢您的合作。事实上，自从我开始学习如何发表公开演讲以来，我就想成为除了我自己以外的任何人。

I wanted to be Martin Luther King who was so passionate that almost every time I heard his speech“I Have a Dream”, I was moved to tears. But I failed. I wanted to be John F. Kennedy, who was so eloquent and so powerful that I was deeply touched by his inaugural speech. But I failed again. I even wanted to be Hilary, or Yang Lan. Of course I failed again and again. After all, I am still a man.
我想成为马丁·路德·金，他如此热情，几乎每次听到他的演讲“我有一个梦想”，我都会感动得流泪。但我失败了。我想成为 John F。 肯尼迪，他雄辩而有力，以至于他的就职演说深深打动了我。但我又失败了。我什至想成为希拉里或杨澜。当然，我一次又一次地失败。毕竟，我还是个男人。

I felt so confused and so frustrated that I went to my teacher to ask him what I was supposed to do. He told me, “To be the others is to commit suicide. You can learn from anybody else, but remember you must learn to be yourself. You are your speech. "His words changed my life forever. I made up my mind to be the best of myself, to speak from my heart and to have my own unique style.
我感到非常困惑和沮丧，以至于我去找我的老师，问他我应该怎么做。他告诉我，“成为别人就是自杀。你可以向其他人学习，但请记住，你必须学会做自己。你就是你的演讲。“他的话永远改变了我的生活。我下定决心要成为最好的自己，发自内心地说话，拥有自己独特的风格。

Ladies and gentlemen, diversity is power, because it takes all kinds of trees, flowers to make the most beautiful spring and forest, and it takes all kinds of people, cultures and countries to make such a diverse, dynamic and colorful world.
女士们，先生们，多样性就是力量，因为需要各种各样的树木、花朵才能造就最美丽的春天和森林，需要各种各样的人、文化和国家才能造就这样一个多元化、充满活力和多彩的世界。

Ladies and gentlemen, but what is the best way to maintain our diversity with the development of globalization? In my opinion, the best way to maintain our diversity and identity is to learn from each other in the harmonious unity because no countries¹ is one independent island. Diversity cannot be kept by isolation. For example, when the traditional Chinese medicine is combined with the Western medicine, it can solve many medical problems that each alone cannot possibly do.
女士们，先生们，但是在全球化的发展中保持我们的多样性的最佳方式是什么？在我看来，保持我们的多样性和身份的最佳方式是在和谐统一中相互学习，因为没有一个国家¹是一个独立的岛屿。多样性不能通过孤立来保持。例如，当中医与西医结合时，它可以解决许多单独无法解决的医学问题。

Twenty-five centuries ago, Lao Tzu, a Chinese sage, said, “The reason why the rivers and seas receive the respect and homage of one hundred mountain streams is because² they keep below them.”
25 个世纪前，中国圣人老子说：“江河和海洋之所以受到百潭山涧的尊重和敬意，是因为它们²保持在它们下面。

Ladies and gentlemen, united, we stand; diversified, we develop and prosper. Just like
女士们，先生们，团结一致，我们起立;多元化，我们发展和繁荣。就像

countries应改为 country。

because 应改为 that。
因为应改为 that。

the two wings of one bird, only if diversity and unity go hand in hand can we fly together in the Paradise of harmony and beauty.
一只鸟的两只翅膀，只有多元与统一齐头并进，才能在和谐美丽的天堂里共同翱翔。

Thank you very much!
谢谢！

评论：

This speaker appears more mature, more experienced than his peers. He speaks with confidence and passion, holding good control of the stage. Although he has some problems with certain consonants as in“judge”, “speech”, etc. and with the length of diphthongs, his effective use of pauses between adjacent paragraphs adds to the clarity of the speech, allowing the audience to comfortably follow. His allusions to his teacher's and Lao Tzu's remarks spur the audience on to further reflections, which will leave an impression on them for some time at least.
这位演讲者看起来比他的同龄人更成熟、更有经验。他说话充满自信和激情，对舞台有很好的控制力。尽管他对某些辅音（如“judge”、“speech”等）以及双元音的长度有一些问题，但他有效地利用相邻段落之间的停顿增加了演讲的清晰度，让听众能够舒适地跟随。他对老师和老子的言论的影射促使听众进行进一步的反思，这至少会在一段时间内给他们留下深刻的印象。

The biggest problem with the speech lies in lack of focus in content, which makes it very hard for the speaker to dig deep into the topic. Hence the talk floats on the surface and finally remains nothing more than mediocre. First, the central idea is not clear enough, as we may hardly find a statement that could sum up the whole speech. Some ( or perhaps the speaker himself) would take the end of the talk as the central idea expressed in figurative language-“… only if diversity and unity go hand in hand can we fly together in the Paradise of harmony and beauty.” In this case, we’ ll ask two questions: What are the main points unfolded in the body that may culminate in this central idea? Has the speaker depicted a picture of the Paradise of harmony and beauty emerging from the joining of diversity with unity? Try to answer the questions, and we will find the problem.
演讲最大的问题在于内容缺乏重点，这使得演讲者很难深入挖掘主题。因此，谈话浮在表面上，最终只不过是平庸的。首先，中心思想不够清晰，因为我们可能很难找到可以总结整个演讲的陈述。有些人（或者可能是演讲者本人）会把演讲的结尾作为用比喻语言表达的中心思想——“......只有多样性和统一性齐头并进，我们才能在和谐与美丽的天堂中共同飞翔。在这种情况下，我们将提出两个问题：在正文中展开的哪些要点可能会以这个中心思想为高潮？演讲者是否描绘了一幅从多样性与统一相结合中涌现出的和谐与美丽的天堂的画面？尝试回答问题，我们会找到问题所在。

Second, in tandem with the first, the ideas are not coherently developed. The speaker starts his speech by self-criticism and the enlightenment from his teacher, indicating that one must have one’ s“unique style”. Then he suddenly jumps to the statement that“diversity is power”; however, the reasons provided, which should have been a focus of the discussion, seem too brief and a bit empty. He then switches to almost a new topic, “the best way to maintain our diversity with the development of globalization”. With careful analysis, the quotation from Lao Tzu is not coherently linked to the context. It's not strange to feel that the conclusion sounds unnatural and unsupported.
其次，与第一个概念相辅相成，这些想法并没有连贯地发展起来。演讲者以自我批评和老师的启发开始演讲，表明一个人必须有自己的“独特风格”。然后他突然跳到“多样性就是力量”这句话上;然而，所提供的理由本应是讨论的重点，但似乎太简短了，而且有点空洞。然后，他几乎切换到了一个几乎新的话题，“随着全球化的发展保持我们的多样性的最佳方式”。经过仔细分析，老子的引文与上下文并没有连贯的联系。 感觉这个结论听起来不自然且没有根据并不奇怪。

Unity in Diversity
多元合一

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!
女士们，先生们，下午好！

It is my great honor to stand here and give you my speech: Unity in Diversity. I would like to start my speech with a question. There are thousands of different languages, spoken by people with totally different histories and backgrounds. How is it that they could be translated and share so many words that express the same meanings? I personally believe that is possible because human beings see basically the same things, feel similar emotions, and experience life's most common joys and sorrows.
我很荣幸站在这里向大家发表我的演讲：多元中的团结。我想从一个问题开始我的演讲。有数千种不同的语言，由具有完全不同历史和背景的人使用。他们怎么会被翻译并分享这么多表达相同含义的单词？我个人认为这是可能的，因为人类看到的事物基本相同，感受相似的情感，并体验生活中最常见的喜怒哀乐。

Despite the incredible amount of diversity that exists in language, by examining language in a larger context, we begin to realize that language¹, just like people, are more alike than they are different. Today, I would like to expand on this one example to show no matter how diverse people might look like, unity could always be found in the soul of diversity.
尽管语言中存在着难以置信的多样性，但通过在更大的背景下研究语言，我们开始意识到语言¹就像人一样，相似之处多于不同之处。今天，我想扩展这个例子，以表明无论人们看起来多么多元化，在多元化的灵魂中总能找到团结。

Diversity is usually considered to arise from differences and at the root of many arguments and conflicts. For example, when we watch news, we see all sorts of conflicts - the war between Israel and Lebanon, the guerrilla warfare in Iraq, protests from different parts of the world. We ask ourselves, "What are the causes for these conflicts?"Many people would say all these conflicts are rooted in diversity. It is the cultural traditions, religious beliefs and different political systems that lead us into misunderstanding and conflicts.
多样性通常被认为源于差异，是许多争论和冲突的根源。例如，当我们看新闻时，我们会看到各种各样的冲突——以色列和黎巴嫩之间的战争、伊拉克的游击战、来自世界各地的抗议活动。我们问自己，“这些冲突的原因是什么？许多人会说，所有这些冲突都植根于多样性。正是文化传统、宗教信仰和不同的政治制度导致我们陷入误解和冲突。

But² however, if we think a little bit further, we might ask ourselves, “What really are the motivations for these conflicts?"Most of these motivations could be summed up in one simple answer: the pursuits of human beings' needs. All of us who are sitting here right now, we actually share the same basic human needs like food and shelter, and most of all, safety, freedom and respect. No matter how we pursue them, through war or negotiation, peacefully or aggressively, what we seek is the same: We all cherish life; we all need freedom; we all want respect; we all desire love; and we all look for truth. I don't care whether your eyes are green, blue, black, or even red; I don't care whether you eat with your chopsticks, your forks, or even with your
但是，然而，如果我们进一步思考，我们可能会问自己，“这些冲突的真正动机是什么？这些动机中的大多数可以概括为一个简单的答案：追求人类的需求。我们现在在座的所有人，实际上都有相同的基本人类需求，比如食物和住所，最重要的是，安全、自由和尊重。无论我们如何通过战争或谈判，以和平或侵略的方式追求它们，我们所寻求的都是一样的：我们都珍惜生命;我们都需要自由;我们都希望得到尊重;我们都渴望爱;我们都寻求真理。我不在乎你的眼睛是绿色、蓝色、黑色，甚至是红色;我不在乎你是用筷子、叉子还是用你的

hands. Because when I see through these differences, and look into everybody's heart, I see myself, I see everyone, I see the unity of all human being's needs, and I realize that we are actually all the same.
手。因为当我看穿这些差异，观察每个人的心时，我看到了我自己，我看到了每个人，我看到了所有人类需求的统一性，我意识到我们实际上都是一样的。

There are so many things has³ to be done and can only be done if people in every nation unite as one. But before everything, we need first be⁴ aware of the unity that lies in the soul of diversity, and open our hearts with tolerance and understanding. And with these ideas in mind, there isn't a lot we cannot do in unity.
有很多事情要做³，只有每个国家的人民团结一致才能完成。但首先，我们首先需要意识到多样性灵魂中的统一性，并以宽容和理解敞开心扉。牢记这些想法，我们团结一致地做不了多少事情。

Thank you!

评论：

This is a well-structured speech. In the introduction, she opens with a question and reveals the topic directly. She follows up with two main points: diversity is at the root of many conflicts and yet unity is at the soul of diversity. In the conclusion, she makes a summary and reinforces her idea with much optimism. Her overall argument is clear and easy to follow.
这是一次结构良好的演讲。在介绍中，她以一个问题开始并直接揭示了主题。她接着提出了两个要点：多样性是许多冲突的根源，但团结是多样性的灵魂。在结论中，她做了一个总结，并以非常乐观的方式强化了她的想法。她的总体论点清晰易懂。

In terms of delivery, she looks confident and has good eye contact with the audience. She has effective gestures that go in perfect coordination with her message, nice pronunciation, and good pace.
在传递方面，她看起来很自信，与观众有很好的眼神交流。她有有效的手势，与她的信息完美协调，发音优美，节奏好。

But what makes a speaker persuasive? According to Stephen E. Lucas in The Art of Public Speaking, listeners will be persuaded by a speaker for one or more of four reasons: they perceive the speaker as having high credibility, they are won over by the speaker's evidence, they are convinced by the speaker's reasoning and their emotions are touched by the speaker's ideas or language. However in this speech, the speaker has done a poor job in these aspects. She has a low credibility since she doesn't seem to deliver the speech with much conviction. She also forgets to create common ground with the audience and appears to be quite detached from them. The speech is also lacking in evidence. Although some brief examples are employed to explain the conflicts in the world, the whole speech seems general and abstract. So it would be better if the speaker could appeal to the audience by delivering the speech with much sincerity and conviction, having more evidence to support her claim, and adapting her speech to the audience.
但是，是什么让演讲者具有说服力呢？根据斯蒂芬·卢卡斯 （Stephen E. Lucas） 在《公共演讲的艺术》中的说法，听众会被演讲者说服，原因有以下四个：他们认为演讲者具有很高的可信度，他们被演讲者的证据所征服，他们被演讲者的推理所说服，他们的情感被演讲者的想法或语言所触动。然而，在这次演讲中，演讲者在这些方面做得很差。她的可信度很低，因为她似乎没有太多的信念来发表演讲。她也忘记了与观众建立共同点，似乎与他们相当疏离。该演讲也缺乏证据。虽然使用了一些简短的例子来解释世界上的冲突，但整个演讲似乎笼统而抽象。因此，如果演讲者能够以极大的诚意和信念发表演讲，有更多的证据支持她的说法，并将她的演讲改编为听众，那就更好了。

Unity and Diversity, the Two Pillars of the New Era
统一和多样性，新时代的两大支柱

Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!
尊敬的各位评委，尊敬的各位来宾，女士们，先生们，下午好！

Unity and diversity are often seen as mutually exclusive. Unity expresses the value of homogeneity while diversity celebrates uniqueness. As a matter of fact, in the modern age, the core values of humanity are commonly shared by most people, while the ways of expressing those values vary from one place to another. In the Model United Nations Conference held a few months ago, we participants from Asia and the Pacific shared the joyful celebration of national diversity in our own diverse manners. We Chinese presented our tea ceremony representing our traditional culture; Indian dancing exerted its sensual charm; Russian singing infused our souls as if it came from heaven...
统一和多样性通常被视为相互排斥的。Unity 表达了同质性的价值，而多样性则庆祝独特性。事实上，在现代，大多数人普遍认同人类的核心价值观，而表达这些价值观的方式因地而异。在几个月前举行的模拟联合国会议上，我们来自亚太地区的与会者以我们自己不同的方式分享了对国家多样性的欢乐庆祝。我们中国人展示了代表我们传统文化的茶道;印度舞蹈发挥了它的感性魅力;俄罗斯的歌声注入了我们的灵魂，仿佛它来自天堂......

Guided by our core values, connected by revolutionary science and technology, motivated by faith for a better world, the global village is embarked upon a long and winding journey towards the wonders of the new era. It no longer only seeks a balance between great powers; it seeks to nurture harmony within the international community and between human and nature. This explains why thousands upon thousands of blankets and tents were sent to Pakistan for the reconstruction after the earthquake in 2005; this also explains whyUS dollars, Euros, RMB... money from all over the world was donated to help the numerous victims of the Tsunami in Southern Asia. As famous scholar Michael Novak put it, unity in diversity is the highest possible attainment of a civilization, a testimony to the noblest possibilities of the human race.
以我们的核心价值观为指导，以革命性的科学技术为纽带，以对更美好世界的信念为动力，地球村踏上了通往新时代奇迹的漫长而曲折的旅程。它不再只寻求大国之间的平衡，而是寻求在国际社会内部以及人与自然之间促进和谐。这就解释了为什么 2005 年地震后成千上万的毯子和帐篷被送到巴基斯坦进行重建;这也解释了为什么美元、欧元、人民币......来自世界各地的资金被捐赠给帮助南亚海啸的众多受害者。正如著名学者迈克尔·诺瓦克 （Michael Novak） 所说，多样性中的统一是一个文明的最高可能成就，是人类最崇高可能性的见证。

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now living in a world filled with a wondrous diversity of experience, opinion, and physical appearance. One of the challenges of this age is not only to live in harmony with people different from us, but to celebrate human diversity and learn from it. We are also living in a world led by a unified vision of human fulfillment. As a result, we may hope that conflicts based on differences will ultimately disappear; we may also hope that the dreams of prosperity and harmony will one day be fulfilled. So let us embrace unity and diversity. Thank you very much.
女士们，先生们，我们现在生活在一个充满了奇妙多样的经验、观点和外表的世界。这个时代的挑战之一不仅是与与我们不同的人和睦相处，而且要庆祝人类的多样性并从中学习。我们也生活在一个由人类实现的统一愿景引领的世界。因此，我们可能希望基于差异的冲突最终会消失;我们也可能希望繁荣与和谐的梦想有一天会实现。因此，让我们拥抱团结和多样性。谢谢。

This speaker has demonstrated a thorough understanding of the theme, a strong language competence and a comfortable manner to convey her ideas. Throughout her speech, she keeps on explaining and emphasizing her argument as has been presented in the title of her speech that“unity and diversity” are“the two pillars of the new era” convincingly and successfully.
这位演讲者表现出对主题的透彻理解、强大的语言能力和自如的表达方式。在整个演讲中，她不断解释和强调她的论点，正如她演讲的标题所表达的那样，“统一和多样性”是“新时代的两大支柱”，令人信服且成功地。

At the very beginning of her speech, she highlights her points of view very clearly: unity and diversity may be seen exclusive, yet they can reside with each other harmoniously. Then she strengthens her viewpoints by giving different examples such as the different national presentations at the Model United Nations Conference, the rescue efforts of the international community after the natural disaster, etc. She has conveyed effectively the idea that because of the common core values shared by the humanity, the unity can be achieved through the recognition and celebration of the national diversity.
在演讲的一开始，她就非常清楚地强调了她的观点：统一和多样性可能被视为排他性，但它们可以和谐共存。然后，她通过举出不同的例子来强化她的观点，例如模拟联合国会议上的不同国家演讲、自然灾害后国际社会的救援工作等。她有效地传达了这样一种理念，即由于人类拥有共同的核心价值观，因此可以通过承认和庆祝国家多样性来实现团结。

The speaker is peaceful, graceful, confident and friendly. Wearing a lovely smile and supported by a few gestures, she is guiding the audience with a very comfortable manner and the audience follows her very closely and is eventually convinced. A very rewarding experience for both the speaker and the audience! The communication and understanding has achieved. The audience cannot help agreeing with her just as she has quoted from the famous scholar Michael Novak:“Unity in diversity is the highest possible attainment of a civilization, a testimony to the noblest possibilities of the human race.”
演讲者平和、优雅、自信和友好。她带着可爱的笑容，用几个手势支持，以非常自在的方式引导观众，观众们非常紧密地跟随她，最终被说服了。对演讲者和观众来说都是非常有益的经历！沟通和理解已经实现。正如她引用著名学者迈克尔·诺瓦克 （Michael Novak） 的话一样，观众不禁同意她的观点：“多样性中的统一是一个文明的最高可能成就，是人类最崇高可能性的见证。

Though a prepared speech of only three minutes, the speaker's purpose of convincing the audience has realized.
虽然只有三分钟的演讲，但演讲者说服听众的目的已经实现。

A perfect speech delivered as it is, there might be a few places that can be further improved. For instance, the speaker is a bit too graceful, and she can be more powerful. Secondly, the articulation of certain key words can be improved as well. Thirdly, examples are too great, yet the audience has to think hard to connect the examples with the main ideas why unity and diversity are not contradictory.
完美的演讲本身就是一个完美的演讲，可能有一些地方可以进一步改进。例如，扬声器有点太优雅了，她可以更有力量。其次，某些关键词的发音也可以提高。第三，例子太多了，但观众必须努力思考，将例子与为什么统一和多样性并不矛盾的主要思想联系起来。

A Uygur Girl Can Be Different and the Same
维吾尔女孩可以是不同的，也可以是相同的

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!
女士们，先生们，早上好！

I am now standing on this stage, facing all of you. Most of you may know where I’ from, for my appearance can tell you that I am a Uygur girl. Yes, I am from Xinjiang, a place which is famous for its natural beauty and ethnic diversity.
我现在站在这个舞台上，面对着你们所有人。你们中的大多数人可能知道我来自哪里，因为我的外表可以告诉你们，我是一个维吾尔女孩。是的，我来自新疆，一个以其自然美景和民族多样性而闻名的地方。

I am so different from most of you sitting here. I was raised up among Uygur people. My mother language is totally different from Chinese and I have a great passion for music and dance like other Uygur people. Now I'm studying in Tianjin, a city far away from my hometown. You may ask why I went all the way to Tianjin to study. My answer goes like this:I am very proud of our unique Uygur culture, but at the same time I know it's not everything in life. On one hand, I want to enjoy the high quality education which my hometown lacks; on the other hand, I feel it necessary to seek for similarities between me and my peers who grew up in different cultural backgrounds. Of course, seeking identification with my peers is not an easy job. When I first arrived in Tianjin, I found myself in a totally new environment. But I wasn't scared of the differences I saw. Instead, I took the initiative to communicate with the people around me. I showed pictures of my hometown to them; I introduced Uygur culture to them; and I turned to them for help when I had difficulties adjusting to the new life there. Before long, I found it really worked. My friends started to know me better and we felt closer. After all, we were all vigorous university students with beautiful dreams. We shared the interest in pop music and were concerned for social problems like employment, social welfare and living expenses. Some of my friends even became interested in Uygur language and they asks² me to teach them a few sentences of my language and tell them more about my hometown. All this process convinces me that differences will not definitely lead to disagreement; on the contrary, they will provide us with opportunities to exchange ideas, to understand each other better and become friends.
我与在座的大多数人截然不同。我在维吾尔人中长大。 我的母语与中文完全不同，我和其他维吾尔人一样，对音乐和舞蹈有着极大的热情。现在我在天津学习，这是一个远离家乡的城市。你可能会问我为什么千里迢迢来到天津读书。我的回答是这样的：我为我们独特的维吾尔文化感到非常自豪，但同时我知道这并不是生活的全部。一方面，我想享受家乡所缺乏的高质量教育; 另一方面，我觉得有必要寻找我和在不同文化背景下长大的同龄人之间的相似之处。当然，寻求与我的同龄人认同并不是一件容易的事。当我第一次来到天津时，我发现自己置身于一个全新的环境中。 但我并不害怕我看到的差异。相反，我主动与周围的人交流。我向他们展示了我家乡的照片;我向他们介绍了维吾尔文化;当我难以适应那里的新生活时，我向他们寻求帮助。不久之后，我发现它真的奏效了。我的朋友们开始更了解我，我们感觉更亲密了。毕竟，我们都是精力充沛、怀揣美好梦想的大学生。我们对流行音乐有着共同的兴趣，并关心就业、社会福利和生活费用等社会问题。我的一些朋友甚至对维吾尔语产生了兴趣，他们要求²我教他们几句我的语言，并告诉他们更多关于我的家乡的信息。 所有这些过程使我相信，差异不一定会导致分歧;相反，它们将为我们提供交流思想的机会，更好地了解彼此并成为朋友。

I think everyone in the world has a dream that all the people live together in unity. As a Uygur girl, I wish I could do my bit to bridge the gaps between me and my peers, between Chinese people and foreigners, and also between Han people and Uygur people, making the
我认为世界上每个人都有一个梦想，即所有人团结一致地生活在一起。作为一名维吾尔族女孩，我希望我能尽自己的一份力量来弥合我和我的同龄人之间、中国人和外国人之间、汉人和维吾尔人之间的鸿沟，使

This speech is very well paced and the speaker has a pleasant voice and appearance at the lectern. She cleverly used her own ethnicity to elaborate the topic in a gentle yet constructive way. The underlying message that although they may be different, people have much in common and can become good friends, was subtly made and is all the more memorable and persuasive because it was not rammed down the audience's throats. Note: the speaker did not on any occasion say, “you should …”
这次演讲的节奏非常好，演讲者的声音和讲台上的外表都很悦耳。她巧妙地利用自己的种族身份，以温和而富有建设性的方式阐述了这个话题。 尽管他们可能不同，但人们有很多共同点并且可以成为好朋友，这一潜在信息被巧妙地传达出来，并且更加令人难忘和有说服力，因为它没有被观众的喉咙所扼杀。注意：演讲者在任何场合都没有说，“你应该......”

There were a few mistakes in language which should have been ironed out in preparation, such as“grew up in different cultural backgrounds” should be“grew up with different cultural backgrounds”,“we shared the interest in” should be“we shared an interest in”, “were concerned for social problems” should be“were concerned about social problems”, and“asks me” should be“asked me”.
在语言中有一些错误应该在准备中消除，例如“在不同的文化背景中长大”应该是“在不同的文化背景下长大”，“我们共同的兴趣”应该是“我们共同的兴趣”，“关心社会问题”应该是“关心社会问题”，“问我”应该是“问我”。

“My answer goes like this.” is Chinglish or maybe Uygish! Native English speakers do not use that expression. We say, “My answer is ...” if we have to make that comment at all. It seems obvious that if a question has been asked, the answer will follow. It is more common to say“It's because ...”
“我的回答是这样的。”是中式英语，也可能是维吉什语！以英语为母语的人不使用这种表达方式。我们说，“我的答案是......”如果我们必须做出这样的评论的话。很明显，如果有人提出了一个问题，答案就会随之而来。更常见的是说“这是因为......”

The speaker started her speech with a self-evident statement:“I am now standing on this stage”. Although she got away with it alright because of the way she was approaching the topic,I suggest that it is not a good thing to copy. Taking up an audience's time and attention by stating what they can see with their own eyes-or what they will clearly know-is not the best way to endear oneself to them!
演讲者以不言而喻的声明开始了她的演讲：“我现在站在这个舞台上”。 虽然由于她处理这个话题的方式，她侥幸逃脱了，但我建议复制并不是一件好事。通过陈述他们亲眼所见或他们显然会知道的内容来占用观众的时间和注意力，并不是讨好他们的最佳方式！

The Importance of Being Different
与众不同的重要性

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!
女士们，先生们，下午好！

All men are created different. But many tend to murder their own differences in the fear of being isolated. Admittedly, we need to be the same in order to survive safe and sound in this world; however, I believe we must be different if we want to succeed.
所有的人都是生来不同的。但许多人倾向于在害怕被孤立的恐惧中谋杀自己的差异。诚然，为了在这个世界上安然无恙地生存，我们需要保持相同;但是，我相信如果我们想成功，我们必须与众不同。

Let's take some enlightenment from the animal world. Have a look at the birds and you will find that those beautiful birds are more likely to attract their hunters. At the same time, it's also those brightly colored and bizarre voiced birds get the best mates. Even those little creatures have to make a choice between survival and success.
让我们从动物世界中获得一些启示。看看这些鸟，你会发现那些美丽的鸟儿更有可能吸引他们的猎人。同时，那些色彩鲜艳、发声奇异的鸟儿也得到了最好的伴侣。即使是那些小生物，也必须在生存和成功之间做出选择。

Of course human society is much more complex than the animal world. But it still boils down to the basic idea that the most successful men are those who stand out alone and make a major change in this world. For instance, when all regarded Van Gogh's paintings as rubbish, none could imagine the contemporary popularity of impressionism. Also, when many laughed at Bill Gates for his PC dream, they never thought how much their life would rely on his"Windows"several decades later. Every man of success stands out from his fellows and preserve¹ the world from a very different angle.
当然，人类社会比动物世界复杂得多。但它仍然归结为一个基本理念，即最成功的男人是那些独自脱颖而出并对这个世界做出重大改变的人。例如，当所有人都认为梵高的画作是垃圾时，没有人能想象印象派在当代的流行。此外，当许多人嘲笑比尔盖茨的 PC 梦想时，他们从未想过几十年后他们的生活会多么依赖他的“Windows”。每个成功的人都从他的同伴中脱颖而出，从截然不同的角度保护¹世界。

Ladies and gentlemen, what is a man without his uniqueness? Being different may not guarantee your success, but it offer² you with opportunities. If there is a strong desire in you to succeed in your throbbing heart, stand out, be different and make a difference!
女士们，先生们，没有他的独特性，什么是男人？与众不同并不能保证您的成功，但它会为您提供²机会。如果你内心有强烈的愿望，想在你悸动的心中取得成功，那就站出来，与众不同，做出改变！

Thank you!
谢谢！

Part Two 演讲与评析

评论：

In a condensed speech of two minutes instead of three, only an exceptional speaker like this one can preserve the impact of idea and the beauty of language, on top of a successful delivery. Such a speaker is easily singled out for attention and admiration on any public speaking occasion.
在两分钟而不是三分钟的浓缩演讲中，只有像这样出色的演讲者才能在成功演讲的基础上保留思想的影响力和语言的美感。这样的演讲者在任何公开演讲场合都很容易受到关注和钦佩。

When most speakers are trying to strike a balance between unity and diversity, this one resultely head in one direction. Such courage and determination and uniqueness are powerful enough to excite and impress the judges and the audience as well who are almost in a hypnotic state upon repeated, boring or even empty ideas of different combinations of unity and diversity, as can be imagined happening in previous rounds of the competition. However, simply being different but without profound ideas, the speech may startle the audience once and lose its attraction immediately. This speech holds the attention of the audience all the time and will leave a mark in their memory for its shrewd observation and insightful illustration.
当大多数演讲者试图在统一和多样性之间取得平衡时，这个演讲者结果却朝着一个方向发展。这种勇气、决心和独特性足以让评委和观众兴奋不已，给观众留下深刻印象，他们几乎处于催眠状态，对统一和多样性的不同组合的重复、无聊甚至空洞的想法，可以想象在前几轮比赛中发生的那样。然而，仅仅是不同而没有深刻的思想，演讲可能会让听众吃惊一次，然后立即失去吸引力。这篇演讲一直吸引着听众的注意力，其精明的观察和富有洞察力的插图将在其记忆中留下印记。

Let's look at the development of the theme. At the very beginning the speaker points out directly that, the reason why men who“are created different” choose to“murder their own differences” is the motive to be safe; however, this may also deprive them of chances to succeed. The theme is elaborated by analogy with the animal world-a difference made by a choice between survival and success. Further elaboration is offered by references to Van Gogh and Bill Gates, which are pertinent and impactive. Such theme is more profound and thought-provoking than superficial discussions of a balance between unity and diversity. The success lies more in the profundities of the idea which in turn gives rise to its uniqueness.
让我们看看主题的发展。在一开始，说话者就直接指出，“生而不同”的人之所以选择“谋杀自己的差异”，是为了安全，但这也可能剥夺他们成功的机会。这个主题通过与动物世界的类比来阐述——生存和成功之间的选择所产生的差异。通过引用梵高和比尔盖茨提供了进一步的阐述，这些引用是中肯和有影响力的。 这样的主题比关于统一与多样性之间平衡的肤浅讨论更深刻、发人深省。成功更多地在于理念的深刻性，这反过来又造就了它的独特性。

Besides the idea, the charm of this speech is fully displayed in the speaker's mastery command of the English language-precise diction, variety in sentence structures and skillful use of rhetorical devices. The first line, “All men are created different,” effectively arouses the audience's attention by an association with the opposite. Apart from effective use of comparison and contrast, clever use of alliteration as in“survival and success”, repetition as in“be different and make a difference”, use of pun as in“Windows”, and precise diction as in“to murder their own differences in the fear of being isolated”, “in order to survive safe and sound”, and“boils down to the basic idea that…” all these enhance the impact of the speech.
除了这个想法之外，这篇演讲的魅力还体现在演讲者对英语的掌握——精确的措辞、句子结构的多样性和修辞手法的熟练使用。 第一句话，“所有的人都是不同的”，通过与相反的联想有效地引起了观众的注意。除了有效地使用比较和对比之外，巧妙地使用头韵如“生存和成功”，重复如“be different and make a difference”，使用双关语如“Windows”，以及精确的措辞，如“to murder their own differences in the fear of being isolated”，“为了安全无恙地生存”，以及“归结为基本思想......”所有这些都增强了演讲的影响力。

Novice speakers tend to avoid going to the extreme; yet, only by going to the extreme can the real clash be exposed and a dilemma be confronted and then solved. The impact of a speech lies in a hard yet wise choice in a difficult situation. A persuasive speech can hardly be effective without confronting clashes. Novice speakers can also learn how to focus the whole speech on one single point-in this case the importance of being different.
新手演讲者倾向于避免走极端;然而，只有走极端，才能揭露真正的冲突，面对困境，然后解决。演讲的影响在于在困难的情况下做出艰难而明智的选择。如果不面对冲突，有说服力的演讲几乎不可能有效。新手演讲者还可以学习如何将整个演讲集中在一个点上——在这种情况下，与众不同的重要性。

If second-class speakers compete in“speaking”; the first-class speakers compete in the ideas embodied in the charm of language.
如果说二等的说话者在“说话”上竞争;那么一等的说话者在语言的魅力所体现的思想上竞争。

The Importance of Being Different
与众不同的重要性

-Be Different from Yourself!
- 与自己不同！

Nowadays, people all over the world, at least in this house, seem to be emphasizing the importance of being different from others. They say that to be different from others makes you stand out, wins you an edge, brings you more chances and so on. I believe this is totally true. But we might have overlooked another kind of being different, that is, to be different from yourself.
如今，世界各地的人们，至少在这个房子里，似乎都在强调与他人不同的重要性。他们说，与众不同会让你脱颖而出，为你赢得优势，给你带来更多的机会等等。我相信这是完全正确的。但是我们可能忽略了另一种不同的存在，那就是与你自己不同。

I suppose to be different from the inside is even more important than to be different from the outside. It is because trying to be different from yourself directly results in essential improvement inside you whereas the efforts to be distinct from others might stay in the superficial level.
我想，与内在不同比与外在不同更重要。这是因为试图与自己不同直接导致你内在的本质改善，而与他人不同的努力可能停留在肤浅的层面。

I would like to give a story to illustrate. I guess lots of you are using Nokia mobile phones, a famous brand from Finland. But I dare say not many of you know how these phones came into being. Actually, when I was visiting Helsinki University in Finland, a Finnish friend told me that Nokia was once a company engaged in making boots. And one day, when the highest leaders were discussing how to strengthen their company, one of them said"Let's make something different!"And then, they began to make phones. Today, Nokia is well-known throughout the world for its phones but not for its boots. I think without making such a difference from itself, Nokia would never be so successful.
我想举一个故事来说明。我猜你们中的很多人都在使用来自芬兰的著名品牌诺基亚手机。但我敢说，你们中没有多少人知道这些手机是如何诞生的。其实，当我访问芬兰的赫尔辛基大学时，一位芬兰朋友告诉我，诺基亚曾经是一家生产靴子的公司。有一天，当最高领导人讨论如何加强他们的公司时，其中一位说：“让我们做点不同的东西吧！然后，他们开始制造手机。今天，诺基亚以其手机而闻名于世，但并非以其靴子而闻名。我认为如果没有这样的改变，诺基亚永远不会如此成功。

To sum up, I would say that to be different from yourself is more important than to be different from others. As long as we concentrate on improving ourselves and transcend ourselves, we would not be the same and cannot be the same as others. Excellence will make you stand out saliently!
总而言之，我想说的是，与自己不同比与他人不同更重要。只要我们专心提升自我，超越自我，我们就不会和别人一样，也不可能和别人一样。卓越将使您脱颖而出！

Thank you.
谢谢。

The speaker has conveyed his idea about the topic“being different from yourself” very successfully. The angle he chooses to discuss the topic is refreshing. Instead of talking routinely about being different from others, he chooses to emphasize that being different from yourself is more challenging to oneself and doing so can contribute to humanity. He also further strengthens his point of being different from yourself by saying that being different from inside is more important than being different from the outside. This is a very enlightening idea which makes the audience interested and want to listen on. The example of Nokia being different from itself, from a boots making company to a mobile-phone making one is convincing and illuminating since Nokia enjoys popularity among Chinese people.
演讲者非常成功地传达了他对“与自己不同”这个话题的想法。 他选择讨论这个话题的角度令人耳目一新。他没有经常谈论与他人不同，而是选择强调与自己不同对自己更具挑战性，这样做可以为人类做出贡献。他还进一步强化了他与自己不同的观点，他说与内在不同比与外表不同更重要。这是一个非常有启发性的想法，让观众感兴趣并想继续听。 诺基亚与自身不同的例子，从靴子制造公司到手机制造公司，这是令人信服和启发性的，因为诺基亚在中国人中很受欢迎。

The speaker speaks with comfort and confidence. He maintains a proper speed of speaking and this enables a full understanding for the audience, who are led by and eventually convinced by him. He has got good pronunciation, intonation and good control of pauses while he is speaking. He smiles towards the audience and maintains close eye contact with them. The speaker uses gestures during his speech. Some gestures are properly used though some sometimes seem to be a bit awkward. The suit Chen Dong wears seems to be one size larger so it hangs a bit loose on him. Except these less than satisfactory aspects, that is, some improper gestures and the loose suit, the speaker has extinguished himself from the other speakers in the aspects of content, the organization and delivery of a speech. A very convincing and competent speaker!
演讲者说话时既舒适又自信。他保持适当的语速，这使听众能够充分理解，听众被他引导并最终被他说服。他发音、语调和说话时的停顿控制得很好。他对观众微笑，并与他们保持密切的眼神交流。说话者在演讲中使用手势。 有些手势使用得当，但有些手势有时看起来有点尴尬。陈冬穿的西装似乎大了一号，所以挂在他身上有点松。除了这些不太令人满意的方面，即一些不恰当的手势和宽松的西装外，演讲者在演讲的内容、组织和表达方面已经与其他演讲者脱节了。一位非常有说服力和称职的演讲者！

The Importance of Being Different
与众不同的重要性

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!
女士们，先生们，下午好！

Today my topic is"The Importance of Being Different". I could still remember a case competition I participated in last semester in Shanghai. Each team was required to analyze a specific case, propose certain solutions and present them to the panel of judges. The case was about an investor who liked to enter the restaurant industry and had to choose between two franchise packages offered to him. While almost all teams chose the franchise according to the financial situation of the investor, which was quite natural and professional, a team from Shanghai chose to analyze the case based on the potential customer groups of the investor. Ultimately, their different way of analysis came to be a great success and brought them the championship. When the judges were asked about the reason why they chose the team, they simply said:“Oh, they had a different perspective and we appreciate creativity.”
今天我的主题是“与众不同的重要性”。我仍然记得上学期我在上海参加的一次案例比赛。每个团队都需要分析一个特定的案例，提出一定的解决方案，并将其提交给评委小组。该案例是关于一位喜欢进入餐饮业的投资者，他不得不在提供给他的两个特许经营套餐之间做出选择。虽然几乎所有团队都是根据投资方的财务状况来选择加盟权的，这是相当自然和专业的，但来自上海的一支团队选择根据投资方的潜在客户群体来分析案例。最终，他们不同的分析方式取得了巨大的成功，并为他们带来了冠军。当评委被问及他们选择该团队的原因时，他们只是说：“哦，他们有不同的观点，我们欣赏创造力。

Being different is significant for creativity and innovation. And it is this difference that makes our world more colorful. Being different also means diversity, which is, as the saying goes, “the spice of life”. Scientists need to employ divergent thinking in order to create new theories. Team leaders have to employ the method of brainstorming in order to acquire different opinions and ideas from their members. Jack F. Welch, former Chief Executive Officer of General Electrics, has once said that it was the different opinions from his advisors which¹helped him to make important decisions correctly.
与众不同对于创造力和创新非常重要。正是这种差异使我们的世界更加丰富多彩。与众不同也意味着多样性，俗话说，就是“生活的调味品”。科学家需要采用发散性思维来创造新的理论。团队领导必须采用头脑风暴的方法，以便从成员那里获得不同的意见和想法。通用电气公司前首席执行官 Jack F. Welch 曾经说过，正是他的顾问们的不同意见帮助他做出了正确的决策¹。

However, being different does not necessarily mean that you have to be an oddball, which everybody hates. Being different simply means that you have to think by yourself individually. Therefore, when we face tough decisions, let us believe in ourselves instead of following others, confidence is the best strategy. And just remember, it really counts to be different. To end my speech today, I'd like to turn instead of bow to make it a different.
然而，与众不同并不一定意味着你必须是一个古怪的人，这是每个人都讨厌的。与众不同仅仅意味着您必须自己单独思考。因此，当我们面临艰难的决定时，让我们相信自己而不是跟随他人，自信是最好的策略。请记住，与众不同真的很重要。在结束今天的演讲之前，我想用转身而不是鞠躬来让它变得不同。

Thank you!
谢谢！

which应改为 that。
