办公室英语：演示文稿

谢谢收听这个播客。

Thanks for listening to this podcast.

我们正在为你制作新的《职场英语》节目。

We're working on new episodes of Office English for you.

meanwhile，这里有一集去年的节目，帮你复习一下商务英语。

In the meantime, here's an episode from last year to help you revise your business English.

好好听。

Enjoy.

你在工作中喜欢公开演讲吗？

Do you like public speaking at work?

我从来就不喜欢公开演讲。

I have never liked public speaking.

这对我来说一直是个大问题。

It's actually been a really big problem for me.

不知道该说什么，话到嘴边就忘了。

Not knowing what to say and just forgetting your words.

这最让我害怕。

That's my biggest fear.

确实挺吓人的，对吧？

It's scary, isn't it?

那种怕被评价的恐惧，担心同事评判你说的话。

That fear of judgment, your colleagues judging what you're saying.

如果我准备充分，对要讲的内容足够熟悉，我觉得就会容易很多。

If I've practiced enough, if I know the topic I'm talking about, it is a lot easier, I think.

今天在《职场英语》节目中，我们聊聊在工作中做演讲。

Today on Office English, we're talking about giving presentations at work.

你好。

Hello.

欢迎收听《职场英语》新系列，你的职场生活指南。

Welcome to a new series of Office English, your podcast guide to the world of work.

我是菲尔。

I'm Phil.

我是皮帕。

And I'm Pippa.

我们网站 bbclearningenglish.com 上有这一期的文本稿。

节目一开始，我们听到了 BBC 学习英语团队的一些成员分享他们如何应对公开演讲。

We heard at the start of the programme from some of the BBC Learning English team about how they deal with public speaking.

很多人都觉得这很难。

It's something lots of people find difficult.

你觉得呢，皮帕？

How do you find it, Pippa?

我不确定。

I'm not sure.

我总是以为自己不会紧张，可直到最后一刻，快上台前半小时，我才突然特别紧张。

I think I always think I'm not gonna be nervous about it until the last minute, and then sort of half an hour before I have to speak or give a presentation, I'm really nervous.

你呢？

How about you?

我需要有个清晰的结构。

I find I need to have a structure.

对。

Mhmm.

如果我提前练过演讲，做起来就很容易，一般也不会太紧张。

If I've got a presentation that I've practiced, I can do it easily, and I'm I'm not usually that worried by it.

但要是开场得跟大家随便聊几句，我就觉得有点难应付。

But if I just have to chat with everyone at the beginning, I find that a bit more daunting.

是的，关键还是得充分准备，这一点乔治和安德鲁也提到过。

Yes, I guess the trick is to prepare well, and that's something that Georgie and Andrew talked about.

那今天我们来学一些实用表达，帮你把演讲掌控好，提前做好准备。

So we can look at some of the language today that you can use to keep your presentation on track and prepare.

好的。

Okay.

我们先从如何开场说起。

Let's start with opening a presentation.

开头有哪些不错的方式呢？

What are some good ways to start?

我觉得最好先做个自我介绍。

Well, I guess it's good to start by introducing yourself.

我会说，我是皮帕，我在BBC英语学习频道做播客。

So I would say, I'm Pippa, and I work on the podcast at BBC Learning English.

就是你是谁，以及你做什么。

So who you are and what you do.

对。

Yes.

没错。

Yeah.

而且我觉得，像你提到的，最好也提一下接下来要讲的主题。

And it's also, I think, good to talk about the topic you're going be talking about, as you might be saying.

今天我会讲如何开拓新市场。

Today, I'll be covering discovering new markets.

对。

Yes.

有些人喜欢以一个问题开头。

And one thing that some people like to do is start with a question.

你可以说，怎样才能最好地满足客户的需求？

So you might say something like, what's the best way to satisfy our customers?

这样能帮你引出话题，吸引听众的注意。

So you want to kind of set up what you're going to talk about and engage your audience.

他们可能对你说的内容兴趣不大。

They might not be that interested in what you have to say.

是的。

Yes.

对，我们已经开始了演讲。

Right, we've started our presentation.

接下来，我们来看看怎么让演讲更有趣、更有吸引力。

Now let's look at some ways we can make the presentation engaging and exciting.

这就可以作为一个结构了。

Now that could be the structure.

我们之前提到过，可以从一个问题开始。

We talked about starting with a question.

如果你这么做了，记得一定要给出答案，这样大家才会继续关注，等着听结果。

So if you do that, make sure that you give the answer, and that will keep people engaged and listening for it.

你还可以用一些表达方式，让演讲更有趣。

You can also use some language to kind of help make your presentation more interesting.

比如，可以用强调性的说法。

So you can use emphasis phrases.

举个例子，如果我在演讲中谈营销，我可能会说：我们发现，红色海报不仅更容易被顾客注意到，也更容易被记住。

So for example, if I was talking about marketing in the presentation, I might say, we found that red posters are not only more likely to be seen by customers, they're more likely to be remembered too.

你看，这里我就用了‘不仅……也……’这样的结构。

So there I've got this kind of structure of not only and to.

这样一来，大家就会更想知道为什么红色海报这么重要。

So I've I've kind of kept people interested in why red posters are important.

第三点我们可以称之为‘三的法则’。

And the third thing could be something we call the rule of three.

把内容分成三组，往往更容易让人记住。

We can often make things memorable by giving them in groups of three.

比如你可以这么说：如何找到新客户，如何让他们满意，以及如何从中获利。

So you might say, how to find new customers, how to make them happy and how to get profit from them.

给出三个要点，通常更容易让人留下印象。

Giving three ideas is often much more memorable.

在演讲或报告结束时，观众常常会提问。

Often at the end of a talk or presentation, you'll be asked some questions by the audience.

确实，很多人觉得这很紧张，哪怕是以英语为母语的人也一样，因为很难提前预判观众会问什么。

Yes, and people often find this stressful, even native speakers of English, because it's much harder to prepare for what an audience will ask you.

但你还是可以掌握一些技巧。

But there are some techniques you can use.

最常用的方法就是给自己留点思考的时间。

So the classic way is to give yourself some thinking time.

哦，这是个有意思的问题。

Oh, that's an interesting question.

当别人问到这个问题时，你就可以借机停顿一下，给自己点时间思考怎么回答。

When it comes to and that's bought you a few seconds that you can use to think about your answer.

对。

Yeah.

你还可以用另一句话，比如：‘真巧，你正好问到这个。’

Another phrase like this you can use is saying funny you should ask that.

这样就能给你一点时间，好好想想怎么回应这个问题。

And that's just given you a moment to kind of think about that question.

我觉得，回答问题前稍微停顿一下，完全没必要害怕。

I also think you don't need to be afraid to pause briefly before you answer a question.

有些人一紧张就赶紧抢着回答，其实还没想清楚。

Sometimes people panic and rush into the answer before they've really thought about it.

当然，有时候你确实不知道答案，这时候最稳妥的做法就是坦诚地说：‘说实话，我一时想不起来，但我回去查一下再回复你。’

And of course, sometimes you just don't know the answer, and it's often best just to be honest there and say something like, in all honesty, I don't know the answer to that offhand, but let me research and get back to you.

对。

Yes.

那个词‘offhand’的意思是，我没看笔记的话就不知道。

And that word offhand, that means I don't know that without kind of looking at my notes.

我脑子里一时想不起来。

I don't know that off the top of my head.

在工作中做演讲可能会让人紧张。

So giving a presentation at work can be stressful.

我们再来听听BBC同事怎么说。

Let's hear from our BBC colleagues again.

你可以想想，归根结底，这事儿没那么严重。

Try and think about at the end of the day, it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

只要你放松一点，保持积极，就能挺过去。

If you can just be relaxed and just be positive, you'll you'll get through it.

明白吗？

Okay?

我的建议是，想想最坏的情况会怎么样。

My tip would be to just think what really is the worst that can happen.

如果最坏的结果只是有点尴尬，你也能挺过去。

If the worst is that you're gonna feel a bit embarrassed, you're gonna survive.

日子还得继续。

Life goes on.

一切都会好起来的。

It's gonna be fine.

乔治和安德鲁都通过想象最坏的情况来增强自信，因为这样反而让人安心。

Both Georgie and Andrew try to feel more confident by imagining a worst case scenario, because this can be reassuring.

你就会明白，这不过就是一场演讲而已。

You realise that it's just a presentation.

又不是世界末日。

It's not the end of the world.

对。

Yes.

而且这样做也很有帮助，能让你换个角度看待你的演示，看看有没有什么问题，还能帮你想到一些之前没考虑到的问题。

And it's also useful because it means you can look at your presentation in a different way, see if there are any problems with it, and it might suggest some questions that people might ask that you hadn't thought of before.
