第五節:演講家的風采
—— 征服自我,征服聽眾!
【瘋狂短評】
在上一期中,李陽老師向大家介紹了他多年演講所總結出的演講所必備的四個重要環節。你掌握了嗎?你是否還陶醉在李陽老師那篇“瘋狂可樂”的成功商業演講當中呢?“冰凍三尺非一日之寒”,任何成功都需要付出辛勤的汗水。讓我們從現在開始從易入難,瘋狂操練,逐步成為成功的演講家。
在這一期中,我們向大家推薦兩篇簡單易學的即席祝賀演講。千萬不要小看這兩篇短小的祝賀演講詞,掌握他們,你將輕松自如地參加鬼佬們的各種parties.
【Kim’s Note】Being asked to speak at a party or wedding is really an honor. If someone values your friendship enough to want you to speak you really need to be prepared! We give you two classic examples that are easy to follow and change to suit your own needs whenever the chance arrives. Good luck and have fun!

在為上司舉行的生日宴會上,大家可以自由地交流,氣氛比較輕松。在這種非正式場合,不需要太隆重的介紹詞,只需要表示祝賀就行了。如果過生日的是位女性,她將很高興聽到這句話:We all wonder how you always look so young and beautiful and elegant!(我們都很想知道,為什么你總是那么優雅年輕。)
[1] We’re here today to celebrate a very special occasion. I’m sure everybody will agree with me that Tom has always been a great boss and a great leader. He has also been a good role model and friend. I have never met a person who is as understanding『理解的;體恤的』patient『耐心的』, and sincere as Tom.
[2] We have thrown this birthday party not only to celebrate your birthday, but also to express『表達』 our gratitude『感激』 for your thoughtful『體貼的;周到的』 leadership. You have really done a lot for everyone here. So thank you from all of us.
[3] Happy birthday, Tom, and many happy returns!
