【系統(tǒng)提升】跟美國(guó)總統(tǒng)學(xué)口語(yǔ)表達(dá)

 【系統(tǒng)提升】跟美國(guó)總統(tǒng)學(xué)口語(yǔ)表達(dá) 講座課程簡(jiǎn)介：

認(rèn)真學(xué)好英語(yǔ),輕松開(kāi)拓眼界

在美國(guó)，歷年來(lái)每任總統(tǒng)幾乎都在學(xué)生們面臨畢業(yè)或者開(kāi)學(xué)的時(shí)候到高中、大學(xué)等一些學(xué)校做演講，聽(tīng)多了就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)其實(shí)總統(tǒng)們的演講都存在滿滿的套路，這也使得我們可以很容易總結(jié)出一些演講經(jīng)驗(yàn)和技巧。

演講第一步：套近乎

演講之初先要營(yíng)造輕松的氛圍。

Eg1：

你們今天都好嗎？Tim Spicer還好嗎？

How is everbody doing today?How about Tim Spicer?

Eg2:

謝謝大家，謝謝弗吉尼亞(主持人)那么賣力地推銷我。我一度以為她在介紹別人呢。

Thank you for that nice reception and thank you Virginia for the incredible introduction. I thought some of them were about somebody else.

Eg3：

我想說(shuō)的第一句話是”謝謝”。不僅因?yàn)楣�佛給了我這樣非同一般的榮譽(yù)，還因?yàn)橐幌氲浇裉斓难葜v，我就緊張恐懼、茶飯不思，幾個(gè)星期下來(lái)竟然減肥成功。

The first thing I would like to say is thank you”. Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honor, but the weeks of fear and nausea I’ve experienced at the thought of giving this commencement address have made me lose weight. (J.K. Rowling)

演講第二步：自嘲

自嘲幾乎是大部分名人演講的必殺技。不過(guò)注意哦，這種自嘲有時(shí)候可能是一種變相的吹噓。

Eg1：

我十分清楚你們現(xiàn)在坐在臺(tái)下的感受：聽(tīng)我們這些老家伙絮叨，老生常談。

I know exactly what it feels like to be sitting in your seat, listening to some old gasbag give a long-winded commencement speech.

Eg2：

去年登上這個(gè)講臺(tái)的，是擁有億萬(wàn)身家的小說(shuō)家羅琳女士，她最早是一個(gè)古典文學(xué)的學(xué)生。前年站在這里的是比爾·蓋茨先生，他是一個(gè)超級(jí)富翁、慈善家和電腦高手(nerd)。今年很遺憾，你們的演講人是我。雖然我不像他們那么有錢，但至少我也算一個(gè)高手(nerd還有”笨蛋”的意思)。

Last year, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerd stood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not wealthy, but at least I am a nerd.

Eg3：

我為今天在座的各位同學(xué)感到高興，你們拿到學(xué)位可比我容易多了。我值得稱道的也只有被哈佛的校報(bào)稱作”哈佛大學(xué)歷史上最成功的輟學(xué)生”了。我想這大概使我有資格代表我這一類學(xué)生發(fā)言……在所有的失敗者里，我做得最好。

I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. For my part, I’m just happy that the Crimson has called me Harvard’s most successful dropout”. I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class…I did the best of everyone who failed.

演講第三步：哭窮

功成名就的演講者們肯定少不了要分享下自己過(guò)去辛酸的經(jīng)歷，好讓臺(tái)下的學(xué)子們”開(kāi)心開(kāi)心”。

Eg1：

(從里德學(xué)院退學(xué)后)我無(wú)法再住宿舍，所以只能借宿在朋友房間的地板上，我去撿5美分一個(gè)的可樂(lè)瓶，以此賺錢來(lái)購(gòu)買食物，我會(huì)在每個(gè)周日走上7英里，穿過(guò)小城，到克利須那神廟，只為晚上那頓一周一次的美餐。

(After I dropped out of Reed College) I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.

Eg2：

我那時(shí)什么工作都做，剝過(guò)牡蠣、做過(guò)迎賓、酒保、服務(wù)員、粉刷房子、賣吸塵器，我完全不知道自己想做什么。我只想隨便找個(gè)工作糊口，能有錢付得起房租就行。

I did everything. I shucked oysters, I was a hostess, I was a bartender, I was a waitress, I painted houses, I sold vacuum cleaners, I had no idea. And I thought I’d just finally settle in some job, and I would make enough money to pay my rent.

演講第四步：挫折

幾乎每個(gè)成功人士的背后，好像都至少有一次面臨挫折和抉擇，然后絕處逢生的經(jīng)歷。

Eg1：

我等待著希望聽(tīng)到蔡爾茲教授告訴我我的論文寫得多么好。但他沒(méi)有。于是等了45分鐘后，我終于開(kāi)口問(wèn)，”那你怎么評(píng)價(jià)我的寫作呢？” 這么說(shuō)吧，”他說(shuō)。”千萬(wàn)不要靠這個(gè)謀生。”

I listened and waited for Professor Childs to say how well written my thesis was. He didn’t. And so after about 45 minutes I finally said, So. What did you think of the writing?” Put it this way,” he said. Never try to make a living at it.”

Eg2：

那時(shí)我想，最慘的會(huì)是什么呢？也就是失業(yè)吧。結(jié)果，我真的失業(yè)了。我的節(jié)目在做了6年后，沒(méi)有告知我就停播了，我看了報(bào)紙才知道。家里的電話3年沒(méi)有再響過(guò)，沒(méi)人找我做節(jié)目，沒(méi)人愿意提及我。

And I thought, What’s the worst that could happen? I can lose my career.” I did. I lost my career. The show was canceled after 6 years, without even telling me, I read it in the paper. The phone didn’t ring for 3 years. I had no offers. Nobody wanted to touch me at all.

演講第五步：溫情回歸

每當(dāng)提到自己的家人，演講者們都是充滿自豪感和溫情的。此情此景，常常令人動(dòng)容。

Eg1：

我父親是如此的充滿生命力，與他在一起做任何事都是一種探險(xiǎn)。

My dad was so full of life; anything with him was an adventure.

Eg2：

很久以前，1962年的寒冷9月，這座校園里有一家史蒂文消費(fèi)合作社，學(xué)生志愿者負(fù)責(zé)打掃廚房的天花板。想象這樣一幅場(chǎng)景：一位名叫格洛里亞的女大學(xué)生，爬上了高高的梯子，努力地打掃那臟兮兮的天花板。另一位名叫卡爾的寄宿生站在地上，對(duì)此情此景欽佩不已。這是他倆的初次邂逅。他們就是我的父母。

A long time ago, in this cold September of 1962, there was a Steven’s co-op at this very university. That co-op had a kitchen with a ceiling that had been cleaned by student volunteers. Picture a college girl named Gloria, climbing up high on a ladder, struggling to clean that filthy ceiling. Standing on the floor, a young boarder named Carl was admiring the view. And that’s how they met. They were my parents.

演講第六步：引經(jīng)據(jù)典作為結(jié)束語(yǔ)

Eg1：

17歲的時(shí)候, 我讀到一句話: 如果你把每一天都當(dāng)作生命中最后一天去生活的話,那么有一天你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你是正確的。”"記住你即將死去”是我一生中遇到的最重要箴言。它幫我做出生命中的重要抉擇。

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.

Eg2：

他(喬恩·史諾地)告訴我，給人們足夠的時(shí)間，人人都會(huì)有讓你驚訝和嘆服的一面。他說(shuō)，當(dāng)你對(duì)別人怨惱憤怒時(shí)，你只是還沒(méi)有給他們足夠的時(shí)間。

One of the things he (Jon Snoddy) told me was to wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you. He said when you’re pissed off at somebody and you’re angry at them, you just haven’t given them enough time.
