想成为演讲达人必须知道的5个技巧TED英语演讲
我有5个在公众场合演讲的技巧，不管是在小教室里，在会议室里，或者只是想在一个开心的时刻建立良好的人际关系，怎样才能给人留下好印象呢?
I have five speaking tips for you whenever you’re in public,whether that’s in a small classroom,at a boardroom table,or maybe you’re just a happy hour wanting to network well. How on earth can you make a good impression?
好的，事实上都是一些很基本的东西，以下是我给你的5个实用建议。
Well, there are some really fundamental basic things.So here are my five practical tips for you.
首先，你必须了解你演讲的内容，照本宣科通常很不好，所以当朋友打电话或发短信给我说，“我有一个很重要的演讲，我太紧张了，该怎么办呢?”我会说，你对你演讲的内容了解吗?因为如果你只是照着幻灯片朗读，很可能会让别人以为你连你自己要讲的东西都不清楚。
The first is, you have to know your content.Read it rarely looks good.So when friends call or text me say ：“I have a big presentation, I’m so nervous, what do we do.”I say, “how well do you know your content?”Because if you’re making it up on the slide,it’s probably going to translate like,you don’t know your stuff.
我的第二个建议是，要真实。有多少次你在会议上坐着，或者看着一个演讲者，他们就好像进入了演示模式，他们看起来令人不舒服，也许他们看起来有点紧张，他们的目光到处飘，用肢体动作欺骗自己。
真实就好，我鼓励我们的客户把每一次演讲的机会，当作和你的’听众交谈，仅仅是一段接一段再接一段的谈话而已。做你自己就好，你猜怎么着?我们是人，我们和其他人有联系。所以，做你自己，让自己变得可爱，让自己变得有亲和力。
My second tip is, be authentic.How many times have you sat through a meeting or watch a speaker where they just went in this like presentation mode,they looked uncomfortable,maybe they looked a little nervous,their eyes are all over the place,and their body deceives them.
Just be authentic.I encourage our clients to consider each presentation or speaking opportunity as conversation with people in your audience.Just one conversation, with another conversation, and another conversation.Be yourself.Guess what? We’re human,we relate to other humans.So just be yourself, be likeable, be relatable.
我的第三个建议是，眼神接触。我们都知道，不是吗?在大学里被教过无数次，我们知道要做这个 — 眼神接触，我总是对我的客户感到惊讶。他们其实不知道怎么做才好。
让我给你一个小提示，有3到5秒的眼神接触就很好，当你尝试它的时候，感觉就像永恒一样。但我向你们保证，这会给人以自信、权威的印象，就像你真的清楚你要讲什么，也希望你们确实如此。
The third tip I have is, eye contact.We know, right, College 101 speaking 101,we know to make it, eye contact.I’m always amazed with my clients that they actually don’t know what good is.
Well let me give you a little tip.Three to five seconds is really good eye contact. Now when you actually try it, it will feel like eternity.But I promise you that it makes the impression of confidence, authority,and like you really do know your stuff and hopefully you do.
第四个技巧，当我们说话的时候，我们用手做什么呢?我总是很惊讶，在婚礼上人们会问我，嘿，你是做什么的?我告诉他们我的职业，可以说就是用手做些什么事，这里有一些非常实用的建议，只需要放松你的手就好。我的大多数客户，他们都很紧张，他们的手在他们的身体前不知所措，这样看起来像是很紧张，或者像是没有准备好，让它们在你身边放松，或者活动起来，用好手势，但接着让它们放松下来。
The fourth tip has to do with these.What on earth do we do with our hands when we’re talking?I’m always surprised that at weddings when people ask “hey so what you do.”I tell them my business like what do I do with my hands.Well here is some really practical advice.Just relax them.Most of my clients, they get nervous,their hands collapse in front of their bodies.and it looks like nerves or they’re unprepared.Let them relax at your side,be animated, use them in good gestures.But then let them relax.
我的第五个技巧，和那些填充词有关。你知道我说的就是那些讨厌的：“嗯、啊、和、所以、像、好”充斥在我们的演讲中。为什么我们要这样?据我的观察，大部分时间都是潜意识的，我们如何才能清除这些让人分心的词语，让我们的演讲听起来更有信心，更清晰?
My fifth practical tip, has to do with those filler words.You know which ones I’m talking about the pesky ones like emm, ah, and, so, like, well.They’re riddled throughout our presentations,why do we do that?Well my observation, most of the time its subconscious.How do we start to weed out these really distracting words?So that we sound more confident,and we sound more articulate.
我指导我的客户先对他们的要讲的信息进行分块，提出一两个概念，然后暂停，接着开始把你的演讲内容发展成人们可以吸收的内容，当你在这中间暂停时，还能够自我调整，暂停可以避免填充词，以上就是我的5个可以让你更自信的实用建议。
While I coach my clients to start chunking up their information, meaning,give an idea or two and then pause,and start to develop your content into pieces that people can actually absorb.It also allows you the self-control to pause in between them.Pausing is the anti filler word.So those are my five very practical tips to speaking with more confidence.
