Four Efficient Ways to Improve Your Speech 提高演讲四大招数 One psychologist feels that our facial expression is responsible more than anything else for the impression others have of us. In fact, more than 50 percent of another’s impression, he believes, is influenced by thelook on your face. 一位心理学家认为，要在别人心目中留下印象，我们的面部表情最为重要。事实上，他相信别人对你的印象有一半会受到你面部神情的影响。 Naturally a smile in which the eyes participateis extremely communicative. A scowly look often brings the same thing in return.People tend to mirror your expression, so try to show how you feel about atopic or an idea or the audience through your facial expression. 蕴含笑容的眼神自然显得极为亲切健谈。愁眉苦脸的人往往也被别人冷眼相待。人们倾向于表达与你同样的表情，因此尽量用你的面部表情来表现你对某个题目、某种意见或某些听众的感受。 It's natural to have some tension and nervousness when you appear before an audience. The way to handle it is to put it to work for you, get into action, as Shakespeare observed, action cures fear. There are only a few known ways to control fear. 将要公开发言之时感到紧张不安是很正常的。解决的方法是让这种情绪为你所用，投入到行动中，就如莎士比亚所言：行动治疗恐惧。只有几种抑制恐惧的方法为人所知。 The first is to admit it, do the thing you fear and it will be the death of fear itself. Another simple aid at the last minute before you begin, is to take a few deep breaths, this will help get the butterflies in formation and also keep your voice under control. In fact, if you're thoroughly prepared, just taking a few deep breaths before you're introduced will give you added confidence and poise. I define poise as having control of your emotions. 首先是承认恐惧，做你所惧怕的事，恐惧就会自我消亡。另一种简单的辅助方法可以在你发言前最后一分钟使用，那就是做几次深呼吸。深呼吸有助于舒缓紧张引起的恶心感，同时也能使你更好地控制自己的声音。事实上，如果你准备充分，在别人邀请你出场前，只要做几下深呼吸你便会信心倍增，镇定自如。我觉得镇定自如就是能够好好地控制自己的情绪。 formation [fɔː'meɪʃ(ə)n] n. 形成;构造;编队 A fun definition I heard was, poise is the difference between raising your voice and raising your eyebrow. Other known ways to control nervousness and fear are to give yourself a pep talk or take some physical exercise, simple calisthenics can work wonders in you.And as a final antidote to fear - prepare, then act confident, act as though itwere impossible to fail. 我听说过另一种有趣的定义：镇定自如就是提高声音与提起眉毛之间的区别。还有一些抑制焦虑、恐惧的办法就是给自己来一段鼓舞人心的话或者进行一些体育活动——简单的健美操可以在你身上产生意想不到的效果。最后一招对付恐惧的杀手锏就是：准备，然后充满自信，表现出决不会失败的样子。 calisthenics [,kælɪs'θenɪks] n. 健美体操 （责任编辑：晨鸿） |
