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.
欧洲人和亚洲人的演讲风格往往非常正式。来自于这些文化的演讲者通常会选择读他们事先精心准备好的稿子。
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.
然而与其它文化相比,美国的演讲者大多更潇洒一些。美国的听众们就喜欢这种自然的,从心底而发,传达着现场交流感的沟通。
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.
他们不是很买那些读演讲稿的人的账。在演讲中,如果你用的不是事先写好的演讲稿,而是演讲内容的大纲,那么你的演讲听上去会更自然,而且还能跟听众们建立更好的沟通关系,吸引他们的注意力。
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.
演讲用语不能和书面用语一样。含蓄的写作会产生不错的效果,但只用于读,听的时候可能就不令人满意了。
It is, therefore, important for you to adapt retain texts or outlines for presentations.
所以要是用一篇写好的文字当做演讲稿,你得经过一些修改。
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.
出色的演讲家在做演讲的时候会比写作的时候更随性。他们会用自己的话,创造自己的演讲风格。他们会尽量用简短的词汇。
Listeners are appreciated when speakers use simple, everyday words in a presentation.
听众喜欢演讲者用简单的日常用语。
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.
这样做的优势是,对于演讲者本身,短的词汇更好发音,而且长、难词汇听着很费劲。
