Passage Two
段落二
The speech delivery style of Europeans and Asians tends to be very formal. Speakers of these cultures often read oral presentations from carefully retain manual scripts.
歐洲人和亞洲人的演講風格往往非常正式。來自于這些文化的演講者通常會選擇讀他們事先精心準備好的稿子。
On the other hand, American speakers are generally more informal relative to speakers and other cultures. American audiences prefer natural, spontaneous delivery that conveys a lively sense of communication.
然而與其它文化相比,美國的演講者大多更瀟灑一些。美國的聽眾們就喜歡這種自然的,從心底而發,傳達著現場交流感的溝通。
They don't relay well to speakers who read from a manual script. If you use an outline of your ideas instead of a prepare text, your speech will not only sound more natural, but you will also be able to establish better relationship with your listeners and keep their attention.
他們不是很買那些讀演講稿的人的賬。在演講中,如果你用的不是事先寫好的演講稿,而是演講內容的大綱,那么你的演講聽上去會更自然,而且還能跟聽眾們建立更好的溝通關系,吸引他們的注意力。
The language and style you use when making an oral presentation should not be the same as the language in style you use when writing. Well retain information, that is meant to be read, does not work as well when it is heard.
演講用語不能和書面用語一樣。含蓄的寫作會產生不錯的效果,但只用于讀,聽的時候可能就不令人滿意了。
It is, therefore, important for you to adapt retain texts or outlines for presentations.
所以要是用一篇寫好的文字當做演講稿,你得經過一些修改。
Good speakers are much more informal when speaking than when writing. They also use their own words and develop their own speaking styles. Whenever possible, they use short words.
出色的演講家在做演講的時候會比寫作的時候更隨性。他們會用自己的話,創造自己的演講風格。他們會盡量用簡短的詞匯。
Listeners are appreciated when speakers use simple, everyday words in a presentation.
聽眾喜歡演講者用簡單的日常用語。
One advantage is that it is much easier for speakers to pronounce short words correctly. Another is that long and sophisticated vocabulary choices make listening more difficult.
這樣做的優勢是,對于演講者本身,短的詞匯更好發音,而且長、難詞匯聽著很費勁。
