怎樣寫好英語演講稿

　　當(dāng)今社會(huì)，交流溝通變得很重要，而公共英語演講就是其最常見和有效的手段之一。無論是在學(xué)習(xí)還是工作中，我們會(huì)越來越多地接觸到公共英語演講，小到課堂上，工作中，大到學(xué)術(shù)大會(huì)上的發(fā)言、總統(tǒng)競選。一場出色的演講離不開一份好的演講稿。那怎樣才能寫好英語演講稿呢?一起來看看吧!

　　結(jié)構(gòu)邏輯要明晰

　　由于公共演講一般受眾為數(shù)十人甚至數(shù)百、數(shù)千人，再加上演講環(huán)境的不確定性(比如：觀眾的歡呼，或者抱怨)，最好在進(jìn)入主題后馬上給出所講內(nèi)容的邏輯框架，以便聽眾更好的預(yù)判整個(gè)演講內(nèi)容，有利于他們更好地跟隨演講者的思路，達(dá)到良好的演講效果。比如，喬布斯在該次演講中，開篇稍微寒暄開篇之后，就進(jìn)入正題，“Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.”學(xué)生們馬上能做出邏輯預(yù)判，我們今天會(huì)聽到喬布斯談三點(diǎn)，然后具體關(guān)注是哪三點(diǎn)，這種演講就具備了“audience-centeredness”(以觀眾為中心)的特質(zhì)。喬布斯在隨后的演講中明確提到，“The first story is about connecting the dots. My second story is about love and loss. My third story is about death.”由于這種明晰的思路，聽眾在聽完之后也會(huì)記憶猶新，不會(huì)覺得頭腦混亂，毫無所得。

　　當(dāng)然，演講稿的邏輯安排有多種方式，喬布斯的這篇演講是按照topical order(話題順序)和chronological order(時(shí)間順序)來安排的。除此之外, 還有spatial order(空間順序), problem-solution order(提問解決順序)等等。大家可以根據(jù)不同的演講內(nèi)容來安排自己演講稿的邏輯順序和結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　基本開篇和結(jié)尾的方式

　　1.State the importance of your topic(指出演講話題的重要性)。直接告訴聽眾，你的演講重要在哪里。比如：今天要做的是一場“英語演講的藝術(shù)”的演講，那開始就直接指出，該演講對(duì)于大家今后的學(xué)習(xí)工作將會(huì)有重大的幫助，甚至給出一些數(shù)據(jù)和實(shí)例，讓聽眾明白不聽這個(gè)演講將會(huì)是自己的損失。這樣，聽眾就會(huì)很樂意投入到該次演講中去。

　　2.Startle the audience(使聽眾震驚)。例如：要做一場關(guān)于“生活方式與疾病”的演講，開篇就可以給出一組極具沖擊力的數(shù)據(jù)，讓聽眾看到生活方式的不健康將會(huì)是多么可怕的事情，這樣的震驚使聽眾能夠快速調(diào)整狀態(tài)，投入到聽演講中去。

　　3.Arouse the curiosity of the audience(引起聽眾的好奇心)

　　4.Question the audience(向觀眾提問)。

　　5.Begin with a quotation(以引用開篇)。

　　6.Tell a story(以故事開篇)。

　　結(jié)尾往往可以起到“畫龍點(diǎn)睛”的作用，開篇正文再好，如果結(jié)尾過于平淡，整個(gè)演講的精彩程度都會(huì)大打折扣。那么如何做到“結(jié)尾有道”呢?首先，我們來看看喬布斯的這篇演講稿，他的結(jié)尾比開篇更加出彩，采用的是“end with a quotation”，達(dá)到的效果是特別引人深思。他在結(jié)尾說道，“Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”他不僅在結(jié)尾引用這句“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish”，而且重復(fù)三遍，強(qiáng)化聽眾的印象，這句話也被廣泛傳播，被譽(yù)為該篇演講的“精髓”。

　　在結(jié)尾時(shí)，可以用結(jié)束信號(hào)詞讓聽眾明白你要準(zhǔn)備結(jié)尾了，不要讓演講結(jié)束得太突兀，比如，“In conclusion”, “Let me end my speech by saying…”, “I’d like to close my speech this way.”等。具體的結(jié)尾方式很多，常見的有：

　　1.Summarize your speech(總結(jié)演講)。

　　2.Make a dramatic statement(強(qiáng)有力的陳述)，這個(gè)不同于引用他人之言，往往是演講者自己的沉淀和吶喊，非常經(jīng)典的演講是Patrick Henry’s legendary “Liberty or Death” oration. 他在結(jié)尾時(shí)說道，”Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death.”

　　3.refer to the introduction(首尾呼應(yīng))。這是體現(xiàn)演講內(nèi)在統(tǒng)一的很經(jīng)典的形式，值得借鑒。

　　有效掌握演講寫作要點(diǎn)的方法

　　1.多看。多看一些演講素材，比如名人演講，演講比賽優(yōu)秀選手的演講等，積累大量的一手素材，當(dāng)然也有必要閱讀關(guān)于英語公共演講的書籍，本人非常推薦Stephen E. Lucas的《演講的藝術(shù)》。

　　2.多想。學(xué)會(huì)分析這些演講之所以精彩的原因，可以從上面講的幾點(diǎn)入手。

　　3.多練。在有一定積淀和感覺之后，就要大量練習(xí)寫作演講稿，話題可以從日常學(xué)習(xí)和工作中選取，實(shí)用性要強(qiáng)，這樣練起來更有興趣和成就感。
