精彩演講開場白集錦

對于演講者來說，開場白很重要，開場白不好等于白開場。

好的開場白可以一開始就牢牢地抓住聽眾的心，讓聽眾愿意聽，喜歡聽，演講者也就能牢牢地掌控整個演講，讓你的演講蕩氣回腸。精彩的演講，開場白是有一定的技巧的，可以遵循一定的模式

和規律，而其中一些引人入勝的經典語句能為我們的開場增光添彩！下面一些精彩演講開場白供大家借鑒，切記根據演講的場合、對象和內容靈活運用。

1、不是每朵鮮花都能代表愛情，但是玫瑰做到了；不是每棵樹

都能耐得住干渴，但是白楊做到了；不是每個人都在追求上進，想挑戰自我，改變人生，想成就夢想與眾不同，但是在座的各位——你們做到了！所以，應該把掌聲送給我們自己！

2、親愛的朋友，俄國偉大的作家托爾斯泰說過三句話。第一句話是：這世界上最重要的人是誰？各位朋友，是誰？（互動）——就是：現在在我眼前的人！第二句話：這世界上最重要的事是什么？ ——就是：現在我要做的事。第三句話：這世界上最重要的時間是什么？——就是：此時此刻。所有，各位朋友，此時此刻，你們就是我最重要的人！參加好課程，就是我們最重要的事！

3、今日天有晴，陽光燦爛；今日地有情，花團錦簇；今日海有情，浪迭千重；今日人有情，歡聚一堂！

4、朋友是天，朋友是地，有了朋友就能頂天立地；朋友是風，朋友是雨，有了朋友就能呼風喚雨！在座的親愛的朋友，給我們身

邊的朋友問一下好，掌聲鼓勵一下！

5、在這個說大不大，說小不小的世界上，其實并沒有陌生人，只是有些人和我們擦肩而過，成為路人；有些人停下，轉身，離去，成為無緣的，或許成為還在不經意間給我們留下傷痕的那個人；有的卻成為陪伴我們一生的人，或許成為我們影響較深的朋友——

今天在座的各位，你們就是將要成為陪伴我一生的人！

6、這個世界沒有陌生的人，只有還沒有來得及認識的朋友，真誠的友誼來自不斷地自我介紹，請允許我自我介紹一下，——

7、信念是巍巍大廈的棟梁，沒有它，就只是一堆散亂的磚瓦；知識是滔滔大江的河床，沒有它，就只有一片泛濫的波浪；激情是熊熊烈火的引星，沒有它，就只有一把冰冷的柴把；動力是遠洋巨輪的主機，沒有它，就只剩下癱瘓的巨架。在座的各位，讓我們樹立堅強的信念，開動最大的馬力，燃起火熱的激情在知識的海洋里遨游！

8、只有啟程，才會到達理想和目的地，只有拼搏，才會獲得輝煌的成功，只有播種，才會有收獲。只有追求，才會品味堂堂正正的人。今天，我們啟程了，今天，我們在拼搏，今天，我們來追求——

真誠祝福在座的每一位！

9、如果說友誼是一顆常青樹，那么，澆灌它的必定是出自心田的清泉；如果說友誼是一朵開不敗的鮮花，那么，照耀它的必定是從心中升起的太陽。今天，我們親手播下友誼的種子，明天我們收獲友誼的果實！

10、多少笑聲都是友誼喚起的，多少眼淚都是友誼揩干的。友誼的港灣溫情脈脈，友誼的清風灌滿征帆。友誼不是感情的投資，它不需要股息和分紅。（友誼可以換朋友）在座的各位，讓我們一起享受友誼享受人生！

11、安東尼開場白：我是世界一流的演講家，我喜歡人浪，我熱愛演講，我的磁場輻射整個宇宙和海洋，我的聲音傳播神州大地，甚至面對大海，我掀起一陣陣海浪。每一天，我吸入新鮮的空氣，吸納最新的信念，就像草原上的獅子、森林的老虎、天空的鷹鷲，在太陽還沒有升起的海平線，我用巔峰的狀態，打造巔峰的人生，刷新我又一個新的記錄。今天是新的一天，也是全世界新的一天，也是演說家新的一天。在海岸線，我的一天與太陽一同升起。我的演說就像太陽一樣，光芒

普照大地，溫暖輻射大海，我擁有無窮無盡的能量，因為我是世界一流的演說家。我喜歡任何的人浪，更喜歡任何聲浪，總之，我的演說講到哪里，哪里掀起人浪；講到哪里，哪里掀起聲浪。因為我的磁場輻射整個宇 宙，我發出正面的思想，傳播積極的心態，向我的觀眾傳播我的巔峰狀態。我傳播愛，獲得愛，我傳播的愛越多，獲得的愛就越多。今天，我面朝大海，站在海岸的一線，用一流演說的聲音，傳播

我的巔峰狀態，這就是我的開場白。我是世界一流的演說家，每一天我都向世界傳播我的愛。YES！

12、如果說生命是一座莊嚴的城堡，如果說生命是一株蒼茂的大

樹，如果說生命是一只飛翔的海鳥。那么，信念就是那穹頂的梁柱，就是那深扎的樹根，就是那扇動的翅膀。沒有信念，生命的動力便蕩

然無存；沒有信念，生命的美麗便杳然西去。（信念可以換其他詞語）

13、毅力，是千里大堤一沙一石的凝聚，一點點地累積，才有前不見頭后不見尾的壯麗；毅力，是春蠶吐絲一縷一縷的環繞，一絲絲地堅持，才有破繭而出重見光明的輝煌；毅力，是遠航的船的帆，有了帆，船才可以到達成功的彼岸。（毅力可以換成學習）

14、愛心是一片照射在冬日的陽光，使貧病交迫的人感到人間的溫暖；愛心是一泓出現在沙漠里的泉水，使瀕臨絕境的人重新看到生活的希望；愛心是一首飄蕩在夜空的歌謠，使孤苦無依的人獲得心靈的慰藉。讓我們激發我們心中愛的潛能，讓世界充滿愛！

15、大海如果失去了巨浪的翻滾，就會失去雄渾；沙漠如果失去了飛沙的狂舞，就會失去壯觀。人生如果僅去求得兩點一線的一帆風順，生命也就失去了存在的意義。今天，我的演講如果失去您的掌聲和笑聲，那就會索然無味！

16、生命不是一篇“文摘”，不接受平淡，只收藏精彩。她是一個完整的過程，是一個“連載”，無論成功還是失敗，她都不會在你背后

留有空白；生命也不是一次彩排，走得不好還可以從頭再來，她絕不

給你第二次機會，走過去就無法回頭。今天，我們來參加課程，就

是來書寫我們的精彩人生！

17、春蠶死去了，但留下了華貴絲綢；蝴蝶死去了，但留下了漂亮的衣裳；畫眉飛去了，但留下了美妙的歌聲；花朵凋謝了，但留下了縷縷幽香；蠟燭燃盡了，但留下一片光明；雷雨過去了，但留下了七彩霓虹。我希望在座的各位，在我們身后，也能留下精彩華章！在我演講結束之后，也能留下掌聲一片！

18、有種感覺叫清風細雨，有種思念叫月滿西樓，有種默契叫心有靈犀，有種愛情叫至死不渝，有種約定叫天老地荒，有種口才叫領導演講口才，有種幸運叫認識你真好！請珍惜我們短暫的相遇，讓我們共同進步一起成長！

第二篇：精彩演講開場白案例賞析

文章開頭最難寫，同樣道理，作演講開場白最不易把握，要想三言兩語抓住聽眾的心，并非易事。如果在演講的開始聽眾對你的話就不感興趣，注意力一旦被分散了，那后面再精彩的言論也將黯然失色。因此只有匠心獨運的開場白，以其新穎、奇趣、敏慧之美，才能給聽眾留下深刻印象，才能立即控制場上氣氛，在瞬間里集中聽眾注意力，從而為接下來的演講內容順利地搭梯架橋。

奇論妙語　石破天驚聽眾對平庸普通的論調都不屑一顧，置若罔聞；倘若發人未見，用別人意想不到的見解引出話題，造成“此言一出，舉座皆驚”的藝術效果，會立即震撼聽眾，使他們急不可耐地聽下去，這樣就能達到吸引聽眾的目的。

我記起了畢業歡送會上班主任給我們的致詞。他一開口就讓我們疑竇叢生――“我原來想祝福大家一帆風順，但仔細一想，這樣說不恰當。”這句話把我們弄得丈二和尚摸不著頭腦，大家屏聲靜氣地聽下去――“說人生一帆風順就如同祝某人萬壽無疆一樣，是一個美麗而又空洞的謊言。人生漫漫，必然會遇到許多艱難困苦，比如……”最后得出結論：“一帆風不順的人生才是真實的人生，在逆風險浪中拼搏的人生才是最輝煌的人生。祝大家奮力拼搏，在坎坷的征程中，用堅實有力的步伐走向美好的未來！”十多年過去了，班主任的話語猶在耳邊，給我留下了永難磨滅的印象。“一帆風順”是常見的吉祥祝語，而老師偏偏反彈琵琶，從另一角度悟出了人生哲理。第一句話無異于平地驚雷，又宛若異峰突起，怎能不震撼人心？

需要注意的是，運用這種方式應掌握分寸，弄不好會變為嘩眾取寵，故作聳人之語。應結合聽眾心理、理解層次出奇制勝。再有，不能為了追求怪異而大發謬論、怪論，也不能生硬牽扯，胡亂升華。否則，極易引起聽眾的反感和厭倦。須知，無論多么新鮮的認識始終是建立在正確的主旨之上的。

自嘲開路　幽默搭橋自嘲就是“自我開炮”，用在開場白里，目的是用詼諧的語言巧妙地自我介紹，這樣會使聽眾倍感親切，無形中縮短了與聽眾間的距離。在第四次作代會上，蕭軍應邀上臺，第一句話就是：“我叫蕭軍，是一個出土文物。”這句話包含了多少復雜感情：有辛酸，有無奈，有自豪，有幸福。而以自嘲之語表達，形式異常簡潔，內蘊尤其豐富！胡適在一次演講時這樣開頭：“我今天不是來向諸君作報告的，我是來‘胡說’的，因為我姓胡。”話音剛落，聽眾大笑。這個開場白既巧妙地介紹了自己，又體現了演講者謙遜的修養，而且活躍了場上氣氛，溝通了演講者與聽眾的心理，一石三鳥，堪稱一絕。

年中央電視臺邀請臺灣影視藝術家凌峰先生參加春節聯歡晚會。當時，許多觀眾對他還很陌生，可是他說完那妙不可言的開場白后，一下子被觀眾認同并受到了熱烈歡迎。他說：“在下凌峰，我和文章不同，雖然我們都獲得過‘金鐘獎’和最佳男歌星稱號，但我以長得難看而出名……一般來說，女觀眾對我的印象不太好，她們認為我是人比黃花瘦，臉比煤炭黑。”這一番話嬉而不謔，妙趣橫生，觀眾捧腹大笑。這段開場白給人們留下了非常坦誠、風趣幽默的良好印象。不久，在“金話筒之夜”文藝晚會上，只見他滿臉含笑，對觀眾說：“很高興又見到了你們，很不幸又見到了我。”觀眾報以熱烈的掌聲。至此，凌峰的名字就傳遍了祖國大地。

即景生題　巧妙過渡一上臺就開始正正經經地演講，會給人生硬突兀的感覺，讓聽眾難以接受。不妨以眼前人、事、景為話題，引申開去，把聽眾不知不覺地引入演講之中。可以談會場布置，談當時天氣，談此時心情，談某個與會者形象……例如，你可以說：“我剛才發現在座的一位同志非常面熟，好像我的一位朋友。走近一看，又不是。但我想這沒關系，我們在此已經相識，今后不就可以稱為朋友了嗎？我今天要講的，就是作為大家的一個朋友的一點兒個人想法。”在教師節慶祝大會上，如果天氣陰沉沉的，你可以這樣開頭：“今天天氣不太好，陰沉昏暗，但我們卻在這里看到了一片光明。”接著轉入正題，謳歌教師的偉大靈魂和奉獻精神，他們燃燒了自己，照亮了別人和人類的未來。

年，美國葛底斯堡國家烈士公墓峻工。落成典禮那天，國務卿埃弗雷特站在主席臺上，只見人群、麥田、牧場、果園、連綿的丘陵和高遠的山峰歷歷在目，他心潮起伏，感慨萬千，立即改變了原先想好的開頭，從此情此景談起：

站在明凈的長天之下，從這片經過人們終年耕耘而今已安靜憩息的遼闊田野放眼望去，那雄偉的阿勒格尼山隱隱約約地聳立在我們的前方，兄弟們的墳墓就在我們腳下，我真不敢用我這微不足道的聲音打破上帝和大自然所安排的這意味無窮的平靜。但是我必須完成你們交給我的責任，我祈求你們，祈求你們的寬容和同情……這段開場白語言優美，節奏舒緩，感情深沉，人、景、物、情是那么完美而又自然地融合在一起。據記載，當埃弗雷特剛剛講完這段話時，不少聽眾已淚水盈眶。

即景生題不是故意繞圈子，不能離題萬里、漫無邊際地東拉西扯。否則會沖淡主題，也使聽眾感到倦怠和不耐煩。演講者必須心中有數，還應注意點染的內容必須與主題互相輝映，渾然一體。

講述故事　順水推舟用形象性的語言講述一個故事作為開場白會引起聽眾的莫大興趣。選擇故事要遵循這樣幾個原則：要短小，不然成了故事會；要有意味，促人深思；要與演講內容有關。

年，82歲高齡的麥克阿瑟回到母校――西點軍校。一草一木，令他眷戀不已，浮想聯翩，仿佛又回到了青春時光。在授勛儀式上，他即席發表演講，他這樣開的頭：

今天早上，我走出旅館的時候，看門人問道：“將軍，你上哪兒去？”一聽說我到西點時，他說：“那可是個好地方，您從前去過嗎？”

這個故事情節極為簡單，敘述也樸實無華，但飽含的感情卻是深沉的、豐富的。既說明了西點軍校在人們心中非同尋常的地位，從而喚起聽眾強烈的自豪感，也表達了麥克阿瑟深深的眷戀之情。接著，麥克阿瑟不露痕跡地過渡到“責任――榮譽――國家”這個主題上來，水到渠成，自然妥帖。

李燕杰在《愛情與美》的演講中這樣開場：“我不是研究愛情的，為什么會想到要講這么一個題目呢？”然后講了一個故事：北京一家公司的團委書記再三邀請李老師去演講，并掏出幾張紙，上面列著公司所屬工廠一批自殺者的名單，其中大多數是因戀愛問題處理不好而走上絕路的。“所以，我覺得很有必要與大家談談這方面的問題。”這個故事一下子把聽眾的注意力集中起來，使他們感到問題的嚴重性和緊迫性。

制造懸念　激發興趣人們都有好奇的天性，一旦有了疑慮，非得探明究竟不可。為了激發起聽眾的強烈興趣，可以使用懸念手法。在開場白中制造懸念，往往會收到奇效。

黨的早期革命家彭湃當年在海陸豐從事農民工作，一次到鄉場上準備向農民發表演講。怎樣才能吸引來去匆匆的農民呢？他想出了一個好主意。他站在一棵大榕樹下，突然高聲大喊：“老虎來啦！老虎來啦！”人們信以為真，紛紛逃散。過了一會，才發現虛驚一場，于是都圍上來責怪他。彭湃說：“對不起，讓大家受驚了。可我并沒有神經病，那些官僚地主、土豪劣紳難道不是吃人的老虎嗎？”接著，向大家宣講革命道理。這次演講后，該地的農運工作很快就開展起來。

制造懸念不是故弄玄虛，既不能頻頻使用，也不能懸而不解。在適當的時候應解開懸念，使聽眾的好奇心得到滿足，而且也使前后內容互相照應，結構渾然一體。比如，有位教師舉辦講座，這時會場秩序比較混亂，學生對講座不感興趣，老師轉身在黑板上寫了一首詩：“月黑雁飛高，單于夜遁逃。欲將輕騎逐，大雪滿弓刀。”寫完后他說：“這是一首有名的唐詩，廣為流傳，又選進了中學課本。大家都說寫得好，我卻認為它有點問題。問題在哪里呢？等會兒我們再談。今天，我要講的題目是《讀書與質疑》……”這時全場鴉雀無聲，學生的胃口被吊了起來。演講即將結束，老師說：“這首詩問題在哪里呢？不合常理。既是月黑之夜，怎么看得見雁飛？既是嚴寒季節，北方哪有大雁？……”這樣首尾呼應，能加深聽眾印象，強化演講內容，令人回味無窮。

第三篇：如何寫精彩的演講開場白

一、內容

1、楔子。用幾句誠懇的話同聽眾建立個人間的關系，獲得聽眾的好感和信任;

2、銜接。直接 地反映出一種形勢，或是將要論及的問題，常用某一件小事，一個比喻，個人經歷，軼事傳 聞，出人意外的提問，將主要演講內容銜接起來;

3、激發。可以提出一些激發聽眾思維的 問題，把聽眾的注意力集中到演講中來;

4、觸題。一開始就告訴聽眾自己將要講些什么。世界上許多著名的政治家、作家和國家領導人的演講都是這樣的。

二、主要方法

演講稿的開頭有多種方法，通常用的主要有：

1.開門見山，提示主題。這種開頭是一開講，就進入正題，直接提示演講的中心。例 如宋慶齡《在接受加拿大維多利亞大學榮譽法學博士學位儀式上的講話》的開頭：“我為接受加拿大維多利亞大學榮譽法學博士學位感到榮幸。”運用這種方法，必須先明晰地把握演講的中心，把要向聽眾提示的論點擺出來，使聽眾一聽就知道講的中心是什么，注意力馬上集中起來。

2.介紹情況，說明根由。這種開頭可以迅速縮短與聽眾的距離，使聽眾急于了解下文。在1814年生于薩爾茨維德爾。她的父親馮·威斯特華 倫男爵在特利爾城時和馬克思一家很親近;兩家人的孩子在一塊長大。當馬克思進大學的時 候，他和自己未來的妻子已經知道他們的生命將永遠地連接在一起了。”這個開頭對發生的 事情、人物對象作出必要的介紹和說明，為進一步向聽眾提示論題作了鋪墊。

3.提出問題，引起關注。這種方法是根據聽眾的特點和演講的內容，提出一些激發聽 眾思考的問題，以引起聽眾的注意。例如弗雷德里克·道格拉斯1854年7月4日在美國紐約州羅徹斯特市舉行的國慶大會上發表的《譴責奴隸制的演說》，一開講就能引發聽眾的 積極思考，把人們帶到一個憤怒而深沉的情境中去：“公民們，請恕我問一問，今天為什么 邀我在這兒發言?我，或者我所代表的奴隸們，同你們的國慶節有什么相干?《獨立宣言》 中闡明的政治自由和生來平等的原則難道也普降到我們的頭上?因而要我來向國家的祭壇奉 獻上我們卑微的貢品，承認我們得到并為你們的獨立帶給我們的恩典而表達虔誠的謝意么?” 除了以上三種方法，還有釋題式、懸念式、警策式、幽默式、雙關式、抒情式等。

三、開場白技巧

1.開門見山，不講多余的話

有的人演講，開頭常講一些沒有必要的客套話。葉圣陶對此曾評述說：“誰也明白，這些都是謙虛的話。可是，在說出來之前，演講者未免少了一點思考。你說不曾預備，沒有什么可以說的，那么為什么要上演說臺呢?隨后說出來的，無論是三言二語或長篇大論，又算不算'可以說的’呢?你說隨便說說，沒有什么意思，那么剛才的一本正經，是不是連場作歡呢?自己都相信不過的話，卻要說給人家聽，又算是一種什么態度呢?”其實，演講者說這種“多余的話”，并不一定是出自本心，不過是受了陳規舊套的影響，聽人家這么說，自己也這么說，結果，往往是使聽眾松弛了注意力。

實例一：

一般政治性或學術性的演講稿都是開門見山，直接揭示演講的中心。如鄧小平的《黨和國家領導制度的改革》的開頭：

這次擴大會議，主要是討論黨和國家領導制度的改革以及—些有關問題。

實例二：

再如張承先的《“三個面向”是教育改革的指針》的開頭：

1983年9月，鄧小平同志又提出“教育要面向現代比，面向世界，面向未來”。“三個面向"指明了斯歷史時期教育工作的戰略方向，是今后教育改革的總指針。

這樣的開頭，使聽眾一聽就知道明白講的是是什么，注意力馬上就能集中起來。

2.交代背景，說明演講的目的和原因

實例：

例如《在歡迎民主柬埔寨代表閉宴會上李先念主席的講話》的開頭：

在我國舉國上下，萬眾歡騰，熱烈慶祝中華人民共和國誕生三十五周年的日子里，以西哈努克親王為團長，宋雙和喬森潘閣下為副團長的民主柬埔察代表團特地來參加我國的慶祝活動，并進行正式友好訪問，我們感到格外高興。我代表中國政府和人民，對你們的光臨表示熱烈的歡迎和哀倉的感謝。

這個開頭，說明了這次演講的背景、起因，使聽眾了解這篇講話是在怎樣的一種情況下講的。

第四篇：英文精彩演講稿開場白集錦

Opening Statement

mr.chairman, senator thurmond, members of the committee, my name is anita f.hill, and i am a professor of law at the university of oklahoma.i was born on a farm in okmulgee county, oklahoma, in 1956.i am the youngest of 13 children.i had my early education in okmulgee county.my father, albert hill, is a farmer in that area.my mother's name is irma hill.she is also a farmer and a housewife.my childhood was one of a lot of hard work and not much money, but it was one of solid family affection, as represented by my parents.i was reared in a religious atmosphere in the baptist faith, and i have been a member of the antioch baptist church in tulsa, oklahoma, since 1983.it is a very warm part of my life at the present time.for my undergraduate work, i went to oklahoma state university and graduated from there in 1977.i am attaching to this statement a copy of my resume for further details of my education.i graduated from the university with academic honors and proceeded to the yale law school, where i received my jd degree in 1980.upon graduation from law school, i became a practicing lawyer with the washington, dc, firm of ward, hardraker, and ross.in 1981, i was introduced to now judge thomas by a mutual friend.judge thomas told me that he was anticipating a political appointment, and he asked if i would be interested in working with him.he was, in fact, appointed as assistant secretary of education for civil rights.after he had taken that post, he asked if i would become his assistant, and i accepted that position.in my early period there, i had two major projects.the first was an article i wrote for judge thomas' signature on the education of minority students.the second was the organization of a seminar on high-risk students which was abandoned because judge thomas transferred to the eeoc where he became the chairman of that office.during this period at the department of education, my working relationship with judge thomas was positive.i had a good deal of responsibility and independence.i thought he respected my work and that he trusted my judgment.after approximately three months of working there, he asked me to go out socially with him.what happened next and telling the world about it are the two most difficult things--experiences of my life.it is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration and sleepless number--a great number of sleepless nights that i am able to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone but my close friends.i declined the invitation to go out socially with him and explained to him that i thought it would jeopardize what at the time i considered to be a very good working relationship.i had a normal social life with other men outside of the office.i believed then, as now, that having a social relationship with a person who was supervising my work would be ill-advised.i was very uncomfortable with the idea and told him so.i thought that by saying no and explaining my reasons my employer would abandon his social suggestions.however, to my regret, in the following few weeks, he continued to ask me out on several occasions.he pressed me to justify my reasons for saying no to him.these incidents took place in his office or mine.they were in the form of private conversations which would not have been overheard by anyone else.my working relationship became even more strained when judge thomas began to use work situations to discuss sex.on these occasions, he would call me into his office for reports on education issues and projects, or he might suggest that, because of the time pressures of his schedule, we go to lunch to a government cafeteria.after a brief discussion of work, he would turn the conversation to a discussion of sexual matters.his conversations were very vivid.he spoke about acts that he had seen in pornographic films involving such matters as women having sex with animals and films showing group sex or rape scenes.he talked about pornographic materials depicting individuals with large penises or large breasts involved in various sex acts.on several occasions, thomas told me graphically of his own sexual prowess.because i was extremely uncomfortable talking about sex with him at all and particularly in such a graphic way, i told him that i did not want to talk about these subjects.i would also try to change the subject to education matters or to nonsexual personal matters such as his background or his beliefs.my efforts to change the subject were rarely successful.throughout the period of these conversations, he also from time to time asked me for social engagements.my reaction to these conversations was to avoid them by eliminating opportunities for us to engage in extended conversations.this was difficult because at the time i was his only assistant at the office of education--or office for civil rights.during the latter part of my time at the department of education, the social pressures and any conversation of his offensive behavior ended.i began both to believe and hope that our working relationship could be a proper, cordial, and professional one.when judge thomas was made chair of the eeoc, i needed to face the question of whether to go with him.i was asked to do so, and i did.the work itself was interesting, and at that time it appeared that the sexual overtures which had so troubled me had ended.i also faced the realistic fact that i had no alternative job.while i might have gone back to private practice, perhaps in my old firm or at another, i was dedicated to civil rights work, and my first choice was to be in that field.moreover, the department of education itself was a dubious venture.president reagan was seeking to abolish the entire department.for my first months at the eeoc, where i continued to be an assistant to judge thomas, there were no sexual conversations or overtures.however, during the fall and winter of 1982, these began again.the comments were random and ranged from pressing me about why i didn't go out with him to remarks about my personal appearance.i remember his saying that some day i would have to tell him the real reason that i wouldn't go out with him.he began to show displeasure in his tone and voice and his demeanor and his continued pressure for an explanation.he commented on what i was wearing in terms of whether it made me more or less sexually attractive.the incidents occurred in his inner office at the eeoc.one of the oddest episodes i remember was an occasion in which thomas was drinking a coke in his office.he got up from the table at which we were working, went over to his desk to get the coke, looked at the can and asked, “who has pubic hair on my coke?” on other occasions, he referred to the size of his own penis as being larger than normal, and he also spoke on some occasions of the pleasures he had given to women with oral sex.at this point, late 1982, i began to feel severe stress on the job.i began to be concerned that clarence thomas might take out his anger with me by degrading me or not giving me important assignments.i also thought that he might find an excuse for dismissing me.in january of 1983, i began looking for another job.i was handicapped because i feared that, if he found out, he might make it difficult for me to find other employment and i might be dismissed from the job i had.another factor that made my search more difficult was that there was a period--this was during a period of a hiring freeze in the government.in february of 1983, i was hospitalized for five days on an emergency basis for acute stomach pain which i attributed to stress on the job.once out of the hospital, i became more committed to find other employment and sought further to minimize my contact with thomas.this became easier when allison duncan(sp)became office director, because most of my work was then funneled through her and i had contact with clarence thomas mostly in staff meetings.in the spring of 1983, an opportunity to teach at oral roberts university opened up.i participated in a seminar--taught an afternoon session and seminar at oral roberts university.the dean of the university saw me teaching and inquired as to whether i would be interested in furthering--pursuing a career in teaching, beginning at oral roberts university.i agreed to take the job in large part because of my desire to escape the pressures i felt at the eeoc due to judge thomas.when i informed him that i was leaving in july, i recall that his response was that now i would no longer have an excuse for not going out with him.i told him that i still preferred not to do so.at some time after that meeting, he asked if he could take me to dinner at the end of the term.when i declined, he assured me that the dinner was a professional courtesy only and not a social invitation.i reluctantly agreed to accept that invitation, but only if it was at the every end of a working day.on, as i recall, the last day of my employment at the eeoc in the summer of 1983, i did have dinner with clarence thomas.we went directly from work to a restaurant near the office.we talked about the work i had done, both at education and at the eeoc.he told me that he was pleased with all of it except for an article and speech that i had done for him while we were at the office for civil rights.finally, he made a comment that i will vividly remember.he said that if i ever told anyone of his behavior that it would ruin his career.this was not an apology, nor was it an explanation.that was his last remark about the possibility of our going out or reference to his behavior.in july of 1983, i left washington, dc area and have had minimal contact

with judge clarence thomas since.i am of course aware from the press that some questions have been raised about conversations i had with judge clarence thomas after i left the eeoc.from 1983 until today, i have seen judge thomas only twice.on one occasion, i needed to get a reference from him, and on another he made a public appearance in tulsa.on one occasion he called me at home and we had an inconsequential conversation.on one occasion he called me without reaching me, and i returned the call without reaching him, and nothing came of it.i have on at least three occasions, been asked to act as a conduit to him for others.i knew his secretary, diane holt.we had worked together at both eeoc and education.there were occasions on which i spoke to her, and on some of these occasions undoubtedly i passed on some casual comment to then chairman thomas.there were a series of calls in the first three months of 1985, occasioned by a group in tulsa, which wished to have a civil rights conference.they wanted judge thomas to be the speaker and enlisted my assistance for this purpose.i did call in january and february to no effect, and finally suggested to the person directly involved, susan cahal(ph)that she put the matter into her own hands and call directly.she did so in march of 1985.in connection with that march invitation, ms.cahal(ph)wanted conference materials for the seminar and some research was needed.i was asked to try to get the information and did attempted to do so.there was another call about another possible conference in july of 1985.in august of 1987, i was in washington, dc and i did call diane holt.in the course of this conversation, she asked me how long i was going to be in town and i told her.it is recorded in the message as august 15.it was, in fact, august 20th.she told me about judge thomas's marriage and i did say congratulate him.it is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration that i am able to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone except my closest friends.as i've said before these last few days have been very trying and very hard for me and it hasn't just been the last few days this week.it has actually been over a month now that i have been under the strain of this issue.telling the world is the most difficult experience of my life, but it is very close to having to live through the experience that occasion this meeting.i may have used poor judgment early on in my relationship with this issue.i was aware, however, that telling at any point in my career could adversely affect my future career.and i did not want early on to burn all the bridges to the eeoc.as i said, i may have used poor judgment.perhaps i should have taken angry or even militant steps, both when i was in the agency, or after i left it.but i must confess to the world that the course that i took seemed the better as well as the easier approach.i declined any comment to newspapers, but later when senate staff asked me about these matters i felt i had a duty to report.i have no personal vendetta against clarence thomas.i seek only to provide the committee with information which it may regard as relevant.it would have been more comfortable to remain silent.i took no initiative to inform anyone.but when i was asked by a representative of this committee to report my experience, i felt that i had to tell the truth.i could not keep silent.

第五篇：幾種精彩的演講開場白

一段精彩的開場白有三種作用。第一，吸引聽眾的注意力，激發聽眾的好奇心;第二，概述你演講的主要內容;第三，向聽眾闡明聽你演講的必要性。

1、引人入勝的開頭

開場白的主要目的就是贏得聽眾的注意。由于聽眾對演講的第一印象會很快形成，如果開場白不能吸引他們，那么其他部分就只會白白浪費掉了。

舉例：想像一下現在是2050年。你已經65歲了。你剛剛收到一封來信，打開信封，里面是一張10萬美元的支票。不，不是你贏什么彩票。當意識到在過去的40年中自己的少量投資的策略現在終于有了可觀的收益時，你不禁喜上眉頭。

2.概述要點

在開始演講后的幾秒鐘內，聽眾應該對你要談到的內容有一個很好的了解。不要因為講了幾個笑話或例證導致離題萬里，而把根本目標拋到了腦后。

舉例：今天我來回答三個問題，這三個問題有助于你理財。第一，你如何掙錢?第二，你如何投資?第三，小錢如何生大錢?

3.向你的聽眾闡明聽你演講的理由

即便你已經抓住了聽眾的注意力，也闡明了演講的話題，你也必須告訴聽眾為什么要接著聽下去。

舉例：弄清這三個問題的答案的確可以帶來意外的收益。你只需要很少的投資，嚴謹的態度，掙得10萬美元不在話下。
