怎么做英文版本的簡報(2)
PART II Using Visual Aids 使用視聽教材
要讓聽眾徹底了解你的計劃,光憑口才還不行。都說“百聞不如一見”,做簡報時,若能提供看得見的資料,再給觀眾一些具體可及的線索,那么這場簡報就成功一半了。
現(xiàn)在,Jackson就準備了一些醒目有力的幻燈片來增強簡報的效果。
Jackson: I’ve prepared a short PowerPoint presentation, to give you a general introduction to the Chinese market as we see it. Please direct your attention to the screen behind me and I’ll dim the lights. The Beijing area, with a population of over 13 million people, is the trendsetter for the nation. As you can see from these photos of people in the ⑥business area, both men and women are very style-conscious. They have an eye for glamour8 and good looks, and are willing to spend money to get the look they want. But, as you will also notice, in this photo of a crowded street on a sunny day in Beijing, there are only about 1/5 people out of about 300 wearing sunglasses. And that’s the challenge right there. We have to build demand for our product and create a market.
Jackson:我準備了一段簡短的幻燈片演示文稿,讓大家對中國市場的現(xiàn)況都有個大概的了解。現(xiàn)在我要把燈光調暗,請大家看著我背后的屏幕。擁有超過1300萬人口的北京,是國內流行趨勢的帶領者。從這些拍自于商業(yè)區(qū)的照片可以看到,不管男女都很注重打扮,對魅力和美貌的看法也很獨特,而且舍得花錢塑造自己的外表。但是,大家也應注意到,在拍自北京炎熱的夏日某擁擠街道上的這幅照片上,在300多號人中,僅有約1/5的人戴太陽鏡。這也正是我們需要面對的挑戰(zhàn)。我們必須喚起人們對太陽鏡的需求,并建立這樣一個消費市場。
Jackson: This next shows the accessories9 section of a typical boutique department store; lots of famous brands from Japan, Europe, and the States, plus ⑦a broad range of ⑧domestic brands, bags, belts, watches etc. This is where we would like to be. People, this is without a doubt, a ⑨challenging market. With little current demand, we have a huge task ahead of us to build a target market and successfully sale our product to this massive11 consumer base. Moving on to Beijing's younger consumer market...hmm, that color text is a bit hard to read. I'm sorry for the delay; it will only take a moment to change the color so we can read it...There, that's better. As I was saying...
Jackson:下面這張是一家典型購物中心的裝飾用品商業(yè)區(qū)圖片,有數(shù)十種來自日本、歐洲和美國的名牌產品,還有各式國內產品,包括背包,皮帶,手表等。這正是我們需要開拓的市場。各位,毫無疑問,這是一個競爭激烈的市場。因為目前市場需求量不夠大,我們的任務很艱巨,我們需要建立一個目標市場,把產品成功地打進這些消費領域。接下來看看北京年輕人的消費市場狀況……噢,這張幻燈片文字的顏色不是很好,看不清楚。很抱歉,耽誤一下,我只需改變一下文字的顏色,馬上就好……好了,正如我剛才所說的……

Language Focus III
您相信“一張圖勝于千言萬語”吧!事實上,圖片不但和人一樣能說話,而且還更具有說服力。因此在做演示文稿時,如果能適當輔以一些視聽媒體,必能將說明烘托得更精彩。以下介紹幾種常用的輔助媒體,并分析其優(yōu)、缺點,千萬要用心記住哦。
1、在演示文稿時,以白板為演示文稿媒體
優(yōu)點:
‧適用于交代文字、重點、標題或草圖。
‧使用簡單,費用低廉。
缺點:
‧ 報告者的個人技巧關系成敗。
‧ 無法表現(xiàn)實物或詳圖,真實感較低。
2、在演示文稿時,以投影片作為演示文稿媒體
優(yōu)點:
‧毋須關燈,在室內正常的光線下即可展示投影片。
‧報告者可面對觀眾,與觀眾保持目光接觸。
‧操作簡單,制作經濟。
可運用各種技巧突顯重點或逐條解釋。
缺點:
無法投射不透明的圖片,必須制作成透明的影片。
‧放映的影像常有變形的現(xiàn)象。
3、在演示文稿時,以幻燈片作為演示文稿媒體
優(yōu)點:
‧可依目的組合幻燈片的順序。
‧可放映高品質、有真實感的彩色圖片。
‧可加上音樂。
‧制作并不困難。
缺點:
‧幻燈片的順序易于顛倒弄亂。
‧制作費較高。
‧放映時必須關燈,不方便觀眾作筆記。
4、在演示文稿時,以錄像帶作為演示文稿媒體
優(yōu)點:
‧適用于表現(xiàn)連續(xù)動作,可結合連續(xù)的動作與靜態(tài)的圖片。
‧使觀眾有身臨其境之感。
‧操作放映相當容易。
缺點:
‧棚內作業(yè),制作費較高。
‧不如投影片或幻燈片,可隨時指出某一重點作說明。
‧一般屏幕不適于大型演講場合,只適用于觀眾人數(shù)較少時。
請觀眾注意某處
在開始放幻燈片或投影片等視聽輔助器材之前,必須提醒在場的觀眾,請他們注意。
“Please direct your attention to...”是個直接又常用的說法?!癲irect”當動詞是說“將(注意力、目光)導引到…”,介詞可用“to”或“at”;“attention”是“注意、用心”的意思,說話時常在這個詞組前加“please”以表示禮貌。
1.Please direct your attention to the screen behind me.
2.Please focus on the screen behind me.
3.Now let's take a look at the screen behind me.
4.I'd like you to look at the screen behind me.
5.Could you please look at the screen behind me?
例句:If you will please direct your attention to the map on the wall, I'll point out the area of the planned stadium.
請各位看那面墻上的地圖,我會指出運動場的預定位置。
說明幻燈片的內容
放影片時,應該一邊說明影片的內容,幫助觀眾了解,但只要間歇說明即可,讓觀眾也有時間自己看。
“As you can see from...”這個句型即是請觀眾注意眼前的影像,并把所要講的話與影片相印證?!癮s”在此當連接詞,是“正如(你們所看到的…)”的意思。
1.As you can see from these photos of ... both men and women are style-conscious.
2.These photos of ... Indicate that both men and women are style-conscious.。
3.These photos of ... show that both men and women are style-conscious.
4.These photos of ... prove that both men and women are style-conscious.
5.These photos of ... highlight the fact that both men and women are style-conscious.
例句:As you can see from the chart, profits rose 12% last year.
正如你們從這張圖看到的,去年的利潤提高了百分之十二。
為失誤道歉
演示文稿中使用視聽輔助器材時,偶爾會發(fā)生些小問題,如果那個問題是在場者都察覺得到的,就應該立即大方道歉。
“I'm sorry for the delay.”這個說法是因為耽誤了觀眾的時間而直接表達歉意。“delay”在這個句型中當名詞,意思是“耽誤時間”。
1.I'm sorry for the delay; it will only take a moment to flip15 the slide.
2.I apologize for the technical difficulties; it will only take a moment to flip the slide.
3.Please pardon the error; it will only take a moment to flip the slide.
4.I'm sorry for the inconvenience; it will only take a moment to flip the slide.
5.I hope you will excuse the delay; it will only take a moment to flip the slide.
例句:I'm sorry for the delay; my technician will have the VCR fixed16 as quickly as possible.
抱歉耽誤各位的時間,技術人員會盡快把這部錄放機修好。
Language Focus IV
style-conscious 注意打扮的
“style”有“時尚;風格;品格”的意思,在這里則偏向“流行(樣式)”之意?!癱onscious”,“有自覺的”。這兩個字合成一個形容詞,指“注意流行風尚的”,引申為“著重外表打扮的”。
e.g. She was so style-conscious; she read every fashion magazine she could find.
她非常注重打扮,每一本談流行的雜志她都看。
have an eye for 對……有獨到的眼光
“eye”的意思并不只有「眼睛」,也可指“眼光;觀察力”,在此是指“欣賞事物的能力”,與“appreciation”同義。這個詞組表示某個人對某方面的事物或人有獨特而正確的鑒賞能力,能夠看出別人所無法察覺的價值。而另一個用法相似的“have an ear for”意思是“對…音樂、聲音有獨到的鑒賞力”。
e.g. When I was young, I had an eye for pretty girls. In fact, I became an expert on the subject.
我年輕的時候,對美麗的女孩有獨到的眼光;事實上,我變成了這方面的專家。
without a doubt 毫無疑問
“doubt”可當動、名詞使用,意思是“疑問、懷疑”,“without”則是“沒有”,合在一起是副詞詞組,表示“毫無疑問”。這個詞組亦可代換成“certainly”或“surely”,但語氣比這兩個字強烈得多。
e.g. Without a doubt you have hepatitis--the blood test proves it.
你無疑是患了肝炎,驗血證實了這一點。
