擴(kuò)展:英文演講技巧盤點(diǎn)
一、善用空間的演講
所謂空間就是指進(jìn)行演說(shuō)的場(chǎng)所范圍、演講者所在之處以及與聽眾間的距離等等。演說(shuō)者所在之處以位居聽眾注意力容易匯集的地方最為理想。例如開會(huì)的時(shí)候、主席多半位居會(huì)議桌的上方、因?yàn)樵撎幷亲钊菀讌R集出席者注意力的地方。
反之,如果主席位居會(huì)議桌之正中央,則會(huì)議的進(jìn)行情況會(huì)變?nèi)绾文兀靠峙聲?huì)使出席者注意力散漫了,且有會(huì)議冗長(zhǎng)不休的感覺?因此,讓自己位居聽眾注意力容易匯集之處,不但能夠提升聽眾對(duì)于演講的關(guān)注,甚至具有增強(qiáng)演說(shuō)者信賴度權(quán)威感的效果。
二、演講應(yīng)注意的幾個(gè)問(wèn)題
1、演講時(shí)的姿勢(shì)
演說(shuō)時(shí)的姿勢(shì)(posture)也會(huì)帶給聽眾某種印象,例如堂堂正正的印象或者畏畏縮縮的印象。雖然個(gè)人的性格與平日的習(xí)慣對(duì)此影響頗巨,不過(guò)一般而言仍有方便演講的姿勢(shì),即所謂“輕松的姿勢(shì)”。要讓身體放松,反過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō)就是不要過(guò)度緊張。過(guò)度的緊張不但會(huì)表現(xiàn)出笨拙僵硬的姿勢(shì),而且對(duì)于舌頭的動(dòng)作也會(huì)造成不良的影響。
訣竅之一是張開雙腳與肩同寬,挺穩(wěn)整個(gè)身軀。另一個(gè)訣竅是想辦法擴(kuò)散并減輕施加在身體上的緊張情緒。例如將一只手稍微插入口袋中,或者手觸桌邊、或者手握麥克風(fēng)等等。
2、演講時(shí)的視線在大眾面前說(shuō)話,亦即表示必須忍受眾目睽睽的注視。當(dāng)然,并非每位聽眾都會(huì)對(duì)你報(bào)以善意的眼光。盡管如此,你還是不可以漠視聽眾的眼光,避開聽眾的視線來(lái)說(shuō)話。尤其當(dāng)你走到麥克風(fēng)旁邊站立在大眾面前的那一瞬間,來(lái)自聽眾的視線有時(shí)甚至?xí)屇阌X得刺痛。
克服這股視線壓力的秘訣,就是一面進(jìn)行演講;一面從聽眾當(dāng)中找尋對(duì)于自己投以善意而溫柔眼光的人。并且無(wú)視于那些冷淡的眼光。此外,把自己的視線投向強(qiáng)烈“點(diǎn)頭”以示首肯的人,對(duì)鞏固信心來(lái)進(jìn)行演說(shuō)也具有效果。
3、演講時(shí)的臉部表情
演講時(shí)的臉部表情無(wú)論好壞都會(huì)帶給聽眾極其深刻的印象。緊張、疲勞、喜悅、焦慮、等情緒無(wú)不清楚地表露在臉上,這是很難藉由本人的意志來(lái)加以控制的。演講的內(nèi)容即使再精彩,如果表情總覺缺乏自信,老是畏畏縮縮,演講就很容易變得欠缺說(shuō)服力。
控制臉部的方法,首先“不可垂頭”。人一旦“垂頭”就會(huì)予人“喪氣”之感,而且若視線不能與聽眾接觸,就難以吸引聽眾的注意。另一個(gè)方法是“緩慢說(shuō)話”。說(shuō)話速度一旦緩慢,情緒即可穩(wěn)定,臉部表情也得以放松,再者,全身上下也能夠?yàn)橹┤蛔匀羝饋?lái)。
4、有關(guān)服飾和發(fā)型
服裝也會(huì)帶給觀眾各種印象。尤其是東方男性總是喜歡穿著灰色或者藍(lán)色系列的服裝,難免給人過(guò)于刻板無(wú)趣印象。輕松的場(chǎng)合不妨穿著稍微花俏一點(diǎn)的服裝來(lái)參加。不過(guò)如果是正式的場(chǎng)合,一般來(lái)說(shuō)仍以深色西服、男士無(wú)尾晚宴服、以及燕尾服為宜。其次,發(fā)型也可塑造出各種形象來(lái)。長(zhǎng)發(fā)和光頭各自蘊(yùn)含其強(qiáng)烈的形象,而鬢角的長(zhǎng)短也被認(rèn)為是個(gè)人喜好的表征。站出來(lái)演講之際,你的服裝、究竟帶給對(duì)方何種印象?希望大家好好地思量一番。
5、聲音和腔調(diào)
聲音和腔調(diào)乃是與生俱來(lái)的,不可能一朝一夕之間有所改善。不過(guò)音質(zhì)與措詞對(duì)于整個(gè)演說(shuō)影響頗巨,這倒是事實(shí)。根據(jù)某項(xiàng)研究報(bào)告指出聲音低沉的男性比聲音高亢的男性,其信賴度較高。因?yàn)槁曇舻统習(xí)屓擞蟹N威嚴(yán)沉著的感覺。盡管如此,各位還是不可能馬上就改變自己的聲音?傊,重要的是讓自己的聲音清楚地傳達(dá)給聽眾。即使是音質(zhì)不好的人,如果能夠稟持自己的主張與信念的話,依舊可以吸引聽眾的熱切關(guān)注。
說(shuō)話的速度也是演講的要素。為了營(yíng)造沉著的氣氛,說(shuō)話稍微慢點(diǎn)是很重要。標(biāo)準(zhǔn)大致為5分鐘三張左右的A4原稿,不過(guò),此地要注意的是,倘若從頭至尾一直以相同的速度來(lái)進(jìn)行,聽眾會(huì)睡覺的。
三、英文演講和中文演講的區(qū)別
我們的社會(huì)政治情況與國(guó)外不太一樣。美國(guó)人從小學(xué)開始就要競(jìng)選這個(gè)、競(jìng)選那個(gè),比如俱樂(lè)部經(jīng)理、學(xué)生會(huì)主席,跟政治競(jìng)選差不多,所以他們的講演發(fā)達(dá),在講演培訓(xùn)方面也開展得比較好。在西方國(guó)家,特別是英語(yǔ)國(guó)家更加重視演講。中國(guó)在這方面滯后了一點(diǎn)兒,但是現(xiàn)在講演的風(fēng)氣開始興盛,這很是令人喜悅。隨著我們對(duì)外經(jīng)貿(mào)、外交關(guān)系的拓展,學(xué)英語(yǔ)講英語(yǔ)的形勢(shì)更加喜人。
那么,英文演講和中文演講相比有哪些區(qū)別呢?實(shí)際上一樣,關(guān)鍵在于了解演講對(duì)象,減少冗余信息。中文演講和英文演講實(shí)際上是一樣的,關(guān)鍵是看你演講的對(duì)象。不管是用中文還是用英文演講,首先你要對(duì)自己的聽眾要有一個(gè)很好的了解。在國(guó)外講演,講演超過(guò)半個(gè)小時(shí),你就要考慮這個(gè)時(shí)間是不是快到了,絕不要超過(guò)50分鐘。而且應(yīng)該留出一半以上的時(shí)間讓聽眾來(lái)提問(wèn)題。在中國(guó)情況就有所不同,實(shí)際上現(xiàn)在中國(guó)人也愿意聽短話,特別是沒有什么信息量的套話說(shuō)法。
在講演當(dāng)中,語(yǔ)言文字的運(yùn)用很重要。第一,語(yǔ)言表達(dá)純熟清晰。第二,以對(duì)方習(xí)慣的方式、喜歡的方式來(lái)講。第三,要有內(nèi)容。當(dāng)聽眾通過(guò)贊揚(yáng)英文的辦法來(lái)贊揚(yáng)你時(shí),例如觀眾對(duì)你說(shuō)Articulate,這是表示你講得非常清晰,你聽到這樣的評(píng)語(yǔ)之后,實(shí)際上就說(shuō)明你的內(nèi)容已經(jīng)打動(dòng)了人。適應(yīng)聽眾思維習(xí)慣,在講演一定要注意觀眾的反映。我的講話就是半個(gè)小時(shí),必要的時(shí)候縮短20分鐘。我看大家睜著眼睛很安安靜靜的在聽,我就多講幾句。講話不要長(zhǎng),講20分鐘就可以打住了,然后讓人家提問(wèn)題,這個(gè)10分鐘是有效的10分鐘,你可以根據(jù)他們提的問(wèn)題,不完全是切中這個(gè)問(wèn)題放大放開講。
學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)也沒有什么捷徑可走。
一是慢慢積累,不要放棄;A(chǔ)一定要打好,特別是語(yǔ)法的基礎(chǔ)。在學(xué)校學(xué)的時(shí)間不長(zhǎng),但是基礎(chǔ)必須非常穩(wěn)固。
二是多看、多讀、多模仿。英語(yǔ)開始就是模仿,注意外國(guó)人的表達(dá)方法。另一方面要非常注意閱讀。像《新聞周刊》、《時(shí)代》等等,而且是越看不明白的東西越看。
三是要記錄。寫有用的短語(yǔ)、詞句,要把它記下來(lái),而且要注意比較外國(guó)人和中國(guó)不同的表達(dá)法。舉個(gè)例子,中國(guó)人講話的時(shí)候,謝謝大家對(duì)我的熱烈歡迎,很平實(shí)的。英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人講這么一句話,“Thank you for the warm hospitality that makes me feel so welcome!币馑季褪恰爸x謝你們的好客,這個(gè)好客使我感覺到自己如此受歡迎”。假如你沒有看過(guò)英文、聽過(guò)英文,你絕對(duì)不能想到這么表達(dá)。所以你就要學(xué),就要聽。我們不能說(shuō)我學(xué)的時(shí)候?qū)W了,自己講得時(shí)候還照中文講,不能這樣,要用英文來(lái)思維,越是覺得有點(diǎn)怪怪的,越是要學(xué)的。時(shí)間久而久之,你就不會(huì)講中式英文。
四、英文演講的要素
演講是一門藝術(shù),好的英文演講比賽究竟用什么樣的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來(lái)評(píng)判?
