如何應(yīng)對(duì)即興演講 來源：21英語網(wǎng) 作者：stephen lucas（《為成功而演講》）日期: 2010-09-19 到目前為止我們討論了適用于各種公眾演講的普遍原則。現(xiàn)在我們來看即興演講，也被稱作臨場(chǎng)的、即席的或是無準(zhǔn)備的演講。在“21世紀(jì)杯”比賽中，選手們完成已備演講之后作即興演講。下面是往屆比賽中出現(xiàn)過的一些即興演講題目：

如果你可以生活在另外一個(gè)不同時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)，你將如何選擇？對(duì)你來說哪種知識(shí)更為重要：書本上學(xué)來的還是從個(gè)人經(jīng)歷取得的？

你認(rèn)為中國人世將會(huì)對(duì)這個(gè)國家有何主要影響？

大學(xué)生能否結(jié)婚？

如果你是人大代表，你對(duì)政府有何建議？

你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，即興演講題目的話題涉及面很廣，包含從個(gè)人到政治，從校園熱點(diǎn)到時(shí)事等各個(gè)方面。在“21世紀(jì)杯”演講比賽的各個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)中，即興演講最具挑戰(zhàn)性。它考驗(yàn)?zāi)悛?dú)立思考、迅速、透徹地分析問題以及在毫無準(zhǔn)備的前提下用英語進(jìn)行有效交流的能力。因?yàn)樗羞x手都有充足的時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備已備演講，所以在這部分比賽中他們通常表現(xiàn)出色。但是到了即興演講部分很多人就變得言語結(jié)巴了。因此你若想取得前幾名的成績，就必須在即興演講中取得高分。

即興演講對(duì)于使用母語演講的學(xué)生來說都是件難事，對(duì)于使用第二語言演講的學(xué)生來說就更是費(fèi)力了。然而，它為你以后走出校門步人社會(huì)提供了極好的鍛煉機(jī)會(huì)，因?yàn)榈侥菚r(shí)很多情況下都需要你立即清楚、有力地表達(dá)出自己的觀點(diǎn)。

無論你在哪里演講，成功的即興演講最重要的因素都是縝密的思維和有條理的組織。在比賽中，你有三分鐘時(shí)間發(fā)表即興演講。首先確定你要闡述的兩至三個(gè)主要觀點(diǎn)，然后簡明、清楚地加以討論。必要時(shí)使用實(shí)例、數(shù)據(jù)或證詞來支持你的觀點(diǎn)。因?yàn)楹芏嗉磁d演講題目都是在問你個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)，你可以在演講中充分利用自己的經(jīng)歷。最重要的是，一定要避免漫談和重復(fù)。闡明一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)之后就接下去談下一個(gè)。你可用“第一”、“第二”、“第三”這樣的路標(biāo)來明確每一個(gè)新觀點(diǎn)的出現(xiàn)，以方便觀眾理解。當(dāng)你的演講接近尾聲時(shí)，要用簡練的話語作結(jié)，并為觀眾的關(guān)注表示感謝。

當(dāng)你發(fā)表即興演講時(shí)，無論內(nèi)心多么緊張也要表現(xiàn)得冷靜、鎮(zhèn)定。回顧前面談怯場(chǎng)時(shí)我們?cè)岬剑罕M管你內(nèi)心緊張得發(fā)抖，觀眾看到的只是你的外顯行為。如果你在演講中發(fā)錯(cuò)音或忘記了思路，不要恐慌，即使你犯一個(gè)小錯(cuò)誤，觀眾很有可能無所察覺，你只需像什么都沒發(fā)生過一樣繼續(xù)你的演講。如果有一個(gè)較大的失誤，你只需大膽地說：“對(duì)不起，我的本意是說??”等等諸如此類的話，之后繼續(xù)你的演講。馬丁·路德·金發(fā)表《我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想》這一演說的時(shí)候也有過三次失誤，但他并未理會(huì)這些過失，而觀眾始終關(guān)注的也只是他所要表達(dá)的思想內(nèi)容。

像已備演講一樣，在即興演講部分你也要練習(xí)與觀眾保持眼神交流，避免有聲停頓。你打磕巴、思索恰當(dāng)詞語的次數(shù)越少，那么你看起來就越加完美、自信。如果你能夠有一個(gè)讓觀眾聽起來清楚、穩(wěn)重的語速，在演講的過程中始終保持沉著、冷靜，那么你將有更大的機(jī)會(huì)贏得評(píng)委們的好感。

盡管比賽前你不可能知道即興演講的題目，但這并不意味著不到上場(chǎng)前你就無從準(zhǔn)備。當(dāng)你準(zhǔn)備好參賽，就可以請(qǐng)指導(dǎo)教師給出一些例題，你來練習(xí)當(dāng)場(chǎng)發(fā)表即興演講來作答。在演練的過程中，尤其要注意我們前面提出的所有建議。練習(xí)的初期階段錄下自己演講的聲音，以檢查自己語言的邏輯性、清晰性、連貫性以及發(fā)音的準(zhǔn)確性。在練習(xí)的后期，你可用攝像機(jī)錄下自己的表現(xiàn)，確保自己看起來自信，始終保持眼神交流，避免分散注意力的手勢(shì)或習(xí)慣動(dòng)作。

下面我們給出一段非常好的即興演講的例子，是2002年比賽的冠軍選手孫寧當(dāng)時(shí)所作的演講。他即興演講的題目是“假如你是中國第一名登月的宇航員，你可以在月球上留下三件物品，那么你會(huì)留下哪三件？”

謝謝!如果我是中國第一位登上月球的宇航員，我會(huì)帶下列三件物品：首先，我要帶一個(gè)玩具，更確切地說是一個(gè)小型的玩具熊貓。熊貓是我們中國的國寶。眾所周知，我們中國的自然環(huán)境、生態(tài)環(huán)境以及自然氣候是得天獨(dú)厚的。大家也都知道四川是熊貓最佳的天然棲息地。當(dāng)你看到熊貓那滑稽的外表，憨態(tài)可掬的舉止，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它有著溫和的習(xí)性。它同其他物種相處和諧，和大自然和平共處，這些都是我們需要向大熊貓學(xué)習(xí)的。

其次，我會(huì)帶一件手工藝品，那就是傳統(tǒng)的中國繪畫。我小的時(shí)候?qū)W過幾年傳統(tǒng)中國繪畫，所以我希望這幅畫是我畫的。在我學(xué)畫畫的時(shí)候，我就知道留意畫中蘊(yùn)含的東西更為重要。在典型的中國繪畫中你也可以看到一首詩——通常是用雋秀的中國書法書寫而成，此外上面還會(huì)有一個(gè)印章。中國繪畫通常是臨摹秀麗的中國風(fēng)景。

最后，我想帶一張世界地圖。也許你們中間有些人會(huì)感到很驚訝，為什么不是中國地圖呢？從各方面而言，我知道自己是一個(gè)中國人，然而我也意識(shí)到了在這個(gè)世界聯(lián)系日益密切的時(shí)代，我們還是世界的公民。我不能把我的視線僅僅局限在中國國界中，我要把目光放遠(yuǎn)，我也應(yīng)該清楚我們國界以外的海洋和陸地也是廣闊的。走出國門去了解它們對(duì)于我們來說是很重要的。我的講話完了，謝謝!上面一字不差就是孫寧當(dāng)時(shí)演講的原稿，你可能發(fā)現(xiàn)到他在措辭中犯了一些小錯(cuò)誤，但整篇演講內(nèi)容清晰、思維連貫、組織有序，以至于沒有人會(huì)注意到那些細(xì)小的錯(cuò)誤。讀這篇稿子的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)注意孫寧是如何一開始便明確他要帶上月球的三件物品。之后，演講的過程中，他又這樣引出所選的三件物品： 首先，我要帶一個(gè)玩具，更確切地說是一個(gè)小型的玩具熊貓。

其次，我會(huì)帶一件手工藝品，那就是傳統(tǒng)的中國繪畫。

最后，我想帶一張世界地圖。

這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)組織簡明、清晰。孫寧將三個(gè)主要觀點(diǎn)闡述得清楚、簡潔，在三個(gè)觀點(diǎn)上分配了幾乎平等的注意力。在整個(gè)演講的過程中，他從沒有徘徊不前或偏離主題。他給人的印象是一個(gè)很好地控制自己思維的自信的演講者。的確，即使這篇演講由一位母語為英語演講者創(chuàng)造，也稱得上是非常出色的。

當(dāng)然，針對(duì)不同的題目要有不同的回答。但任何一位演講者針對(duì)任何主題發(fā)表即興演講，其成功的基本要素都是一樣的。如果你能牢記我們所討論的成功要素進(jìn)行練習(xí)，你將有更大的機(jī)會(huì)在即興演講中取得成功。

*The Mirror and I

#我和鏡子

I like to look into the mirror.I remember when I was a little girl, I often stood on my toes, trying to find my face in the mirror of the dressing table, which was nearly as high as I was.Now I still like to look into the mirror.Only now, the dressing table is too low for me.As I bend down, I see the face of a young woman, glowing with maturity, confident in her future and fascinated with her own reflection.The fact that I like to look into the mirror has to do with my granny with whom I spent most of my childhood.I remember clearly that one night I heard her murmuring, “Women can't be seen.Women can't be seen.” I was so confused as to look into the mirror the next morning to check if I could indeed see myself.Only now as a young woman myself, can I understand that it was not physical visibility that granny had on her mind.Granny spent all her life taking care of the family, day in and day out.She cooked for her husband and 10 children.But whenever guests came, she and other female family members had to eat by the stove in the small kitchen.At family discussions, she was never asked for her opinion.After grandpa passed away, she had to listen to my uncle, her eldest son, fulfilled her duty as daughter, wife, and mother;yet as a person, she remained little noticed.Even though she could see herself in the mirror of the dressing table, she was never visible in the mirror of society.I have been living a different life.At home, I make decisions together with the rest of the family.In school, I often take charge of various activities the same as other boys and girls.Not only that, I can see something granny could not have dreamed of─making decisions for my own future.My life has been a series of decisions.I could choose from several universities as I came out of high school.At university, I could choose from a range of subjects from English literature to business law.And now upon graduation, I am again faced with decisions─to further my study or to go to work;to stay in China or to go abroad;to get married right away or to remain single for a bit longer.It does not matter whether or not I will become famous or rich, but I will treasure the chance to demonstrate my potential and to help other women demonstrate theirs as full members of society, fully visible in the mirror of history.I will treasure it because the abundance of choice that I enjoy came only after decades of efforts made by my granny, my mum, and millions of other Chinese women.However, the choices to be made by me and others of my generation are a great challenge.The misconception that men are superior to women is still dominating many people's minds.While men are encouraged to compete and to assert themselves, we are expected to be quiet, loyal and obedient.This is not very different from what is expected of us as good wives and good mothers.The challenge we face calls for a higher level of our personal development and self-determination.The story of my grandmother and myself mirrors the lives of millions of other women in China and perhaps in the world.Many of them still lead the life of my grandmother.Their worth is not yet recognized.It is the responsibility of a young person like me to work hard and struggle hard so that they too will see themselves and will be seen in the mirror of society.This is my dream.This dream, I believe, is not only shared by our grandmothers, mothers and sisters, but also by many of our fathers, brothers, husbands and male colleagues.It will not come true until everyone fully realizes that women can contribute to society and should be guaranteed the right to do so.Women hold up half the sky.我喜愛照鏡子。記得很小的時(shí)候，我常常踮著腳尖在跟我差不多高的梳妝臺(tái)前，想要看到鏡子里自己的小臉。現(xiàn)在，我依然喜愛照鏡子，只不過那張舊梳妝臺(tái)已變得太矮了。彎下腰去照鏡子時(shí)，我看到的已是一個(gè)年輕、散發(fā)著成熟光彩的姑娘，一個(gè)對(duì)未來充滿自信的姑娘，一個(gè)對(duì)鏡中的身影依然那般著迷的姑娘。

愛照鏡子的這個(gè)癖好始于我和奶奶共同度過的童年時(shí)光。我清楚地記得一天夜里，聽見奶奶低聲自語：女人啊，別人怎么就看不見你，怎么就看不見你呢？我對(duì)此感到十分困惑，第二天一早就跑到鏡子面前要檢驗(yàn)一下是否鏡子照得見自己。直到現(xiàn)在長大成人后我才明白，奶奶所看不見的并不是鏡子里的形象。

奶奶為了照顧一大家人，起早貪黑，忙碌操持了一輩子。她每天為丈夫和十個(gè)子女生火做飯，每到家里來了客人，她卻只能和家中所有女性成員一起擠在狹小的廚房里的灶前吃飯。家里討論家事，奶奶從沒有過問的權(quán)利。爺爺去世之后，她只得聽從新的一家之主──我的大伯，也就是她的長子。經(jīng)歷了一生的艱辛，奶奶盡到了作為女兒、妻子和母親的全部責(zé)任，但作為一個(gè)人，她卻很少被別人關(guān)注過。盡管她能夠在梳妝臺(tái)的鏡子中看到自己的模樣，在家庭和社會(huì)中她卻總是一個(gè)隱形人。

我過的是與奶奶截然不同的生活。在家里，我與家人一同商定家庭事務(wù)。在學(xué)校里，我和其他同學(xué)一樣經(jīng)常組織各種活動(dòng)。不僅如此，我做了奶奶做夢(mèng)也想不到的事情：為自己的未來做出選擇。我的生活就是一連串自我抉擇的結(jié)果。高中畢業(yè)時(shí)，我可以從眾多大學(xué)中挑選一所。在大學(xué)里，我可以從一系列專業(yè)中挑選自己最喜愛的專業(yè)──從英國文學(xué)到商法。現(xiàn)在畢業(yè)將至，我又一次面對(duì)選擇：或繼續(xù)深造，或開始工作；或留在國內(nèi)，或走出國門；或很快成家，或暫時(shí)單身。

不論成名富有還是默默無聞，我都會(huì)珍惜發(fā)揮自己潛質(zhì)的機(jī)會(huì)。不僅如此，我更要幫助其他婦女珍惜發(fā)揮才智的機(jī)會(huì)，因?yàn)樗齻円彩巧鐣?huì)的全權(quán)成員。我十分珍惜這一點(diǎn)，因?yàn)槲宜碛械膹V闊的選擇余地是我的奶奶、我的媽媽，乃至千千萬萬個(gè)中國婦女幾十年艱苦奮斗的結(jié)果。

然而，我和我們這一代人將要做出的并非是輕而易舉的選擇。重男輕女的偏見仍然主導(dǎo)著許多人的思想。當(dāng)男人被鼓勵(lì)著去競爭，去為自己的權(quán)力奮斗時(shí)，卻要我們女人保持沉默，堅(jiān)守貞操，一味服從。這與只要我們當(dāng)個(gè)賢妻良母又有什么不同？我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)正激勵(lì)我們?yōu)楦叩膫€(gè)人素質(zhì)和更強(qiáng)的自立能力而奮斗。

我奶奶和我的故事折射出千百萬中國乃至全世界婦女的生活。她們中仍有不少人正走著我奶奶曾經(jīng)走過的道路，她們的價(jià)值還沒有被認(rèn)識(shí)到。努力工作，不懈奮斗，讓世界的婦女都在鏡子中看到自己，得到別人的承認(rèn)，這正是每一個(gè)像我這樣的青年所肩負(fù)的使命。

這是我的夢(mèng)想。我相信，這個(gè)夢(mèng)想不僅曾是我們的奶奶、母親和姐妹們所有過的，也是我們的父親、兄弟、丈夫和男同事們所擁有的夢(mèng)想。

婦女能夠?yàn)樯鐣?huì)做出貢獻(xiàn)。她們的這種權(quán)利應(yīng)該得到保障。當(dāng)每一個(gè)人都充分認(rèn)識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)時(shí)，我的夢(mèng)想就會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)。

婦女能頂半邊天。
