At some point in your life, you will be called upon to do public speaking. Whether you are speaking to an audience of three or three-thousand, here are a few key things you can do to equip yourself for success when that time comes. Using these public speaking tools will also decrease your pre-speech nerves significantly!
生活中總有些時候，你會被叫上臺做公共演講。不論你的聽眾是3人還是3千人，做好這幾樣關鍵的事情，你的演講就會成功。這些公共演講的技巧還能幫助你有效減輕演講前的緊張感。
1. Do Not Stay Hidden Before You Speak
演講之前別躲起來
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U2主唱波諾、脫口秀女王奧普拉，或者總統，否則你在演講之前沒有理由躲起來。相反，你應該和大家打成一片，在上臺前就讓他們知道，你是個有趣又有風度的人。你的目標是和關注者們建立聯系，在你開始演講之前就培養一批擁護者。
2. Do Not Write a Boring Intro and Have a Boring Person Read It
不要寫一篇無聊的自我介紹，還讓一個無聊的人去念稿
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 bio matters 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. Be sure the person introducing you has had a coffee, or three.
關于你是誰，你的聽眾已經有一些概念了。所以跳過這些無聊的個人簡介部分。決定自我介紹應該包括哪些內容時，問問自己：為什么你的個人簡介對這群人很重要？做到簡潔明了，關于你是誰、你該說什么，只保留那些聽眾應該關心的部分。確保那個介紹你的人至少喝了一杯咖啡，不會無精打采。
3. Do Not Slowly Stroll Onto the Stage
不要慢吞吞地走上臺
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.
除非你真的真的非常出名，否則沒有人會因為你的出現而激動不已。所以上臺就行，快一點。表現得謙虛一些，不緊不慢地走上臺甚至會給人一種自大的印象。而且萬一主持人介紹完你之后大家的掌聲慢慢變小，甚至你還沒走到講臺中央就停止了，你（還有所有的聽眾）都會感到屋內的尷尬氣氛。
4. Do Not Start with “Thank you very much. It’s such a pleasure to be here.”
不要用“非常感謝大家，我很榮幸來到這里”作為開頭
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.
以這種被用過成千上萬次的方式作為公眾演講的開頭，曾經是完全可以接受的。現在我們已經不這樣做了，而這樣的開場白就相當于說：“感謝大家聽我說一些你們根本不會聽的話。” 如果你想讓你的聽眾在你演講的前10秒就開始刷社交網絡，用這句話開頭倒是最好的辦法。
5. Do Not Show a Text-Heavy PowerPoint Image Right Off the Bat
不要馬上展示一張滿是文字的幻燈片
No one wants to both see AND hear your words. If you are wearing a mic and are on a stage, this is your cue to aim for more words heard than seen. Don’t try to cram a bunch of text onto each slide; instead, choose simple, powerful visuals that complement your verbal message.
沒有人想要一邊聽你的講話還一邊看你講的內容。如果你在臺上，還戴著麥克風，你的目標應該是讓大家聽見你說的話，而不是看見。不要在一張幻燈片上塞進太多文字。相反，你應該選擇簡單有力的視覺內容和你的講話互補。
6. Do Not Read Your Entire Speech From Your Notes, Verbatim
不要照著你的筆記一字不落地念完整篇演講
Public speaking is an art. You need to practice. Take video of yourself practicing, watch it, make note of your mistakes, and then practice some more. Imbed your message into your head and your speaking style into your body so that when you are on stage, you will be freed up to speak more from your heart than your head. Anyone can read a speech out loud—don’t be “anyone;” be someone worthy of the public speaking opportunity you have.
公眾演講是一門藝術，你需要練習。錄下你練習的視頻并且觀看，把你的錯誤記錄下來，然后再多加練習。把你要講的信息記在腦里，讓你講話的方式融入你的肢體，這樣一來，當你走上臺，你的演講更多的會發自你的內心，而不是你的大腦。任何人都可以大聲讀出一篇演講，不要做這樣的人。不要辜負你擁有這次公眾演講的機會。 |
