英语演讲幽默开场白(真正有营养的东西)
闪开-
作为一个演讲者,
我从观众那只得到过两种抱怨:
一种是我讲话声音太大了,
他
们无法入睡;第二种是我讲得时
间太长了,他们无法一直清醒。
As a speaker, I’ve only had two
complaints from audiences. One, that I
talk so loud they can’t fall asleep.
And two, that I
talk so long
they can’t stay
awake.

也有悲伤、眼泪和悲痛

speaker, he has often been compared to Abraham
Lincoln delivering
the Gettysburg
Address. When he finishes his speech, there is

tears and mourning ----

演讲结束时,宴会主人感谢你从繁
忙的日程中抽出时间来

you finish your speech and the toastmaster thanks
you for
taking time out of your busy
schedule to be a part of their program --- and you
nod and smile graciously knowing full
well that the only thing on your calendar
is a little coffee from breakfast.

过去我演讲时常常会比较紧张,<

但那时我看到一条信息说如果你想象所有的
观众都是裸体会有所帮
助。
此时此刻,
我站在这里想象着观众都是裸体,
真的起
作用,我不再紧张了,但眼睛有些疲劳。
I used to get
nervous when giving a speech but then I read that
it helps to
think of the entire
audience as being naked. And so, at this very
moment, I’m
standing up here imagining
every one in this audience as being naked. And it
really works. I no suffer from
nervousness. Eyestrain. Yes
幽默注释:把观众想象成裸体,意思是我不怕你们,就不紧张
了。

into plain English. I’ll translate it for the
lawyers later.

because it’s the
only one I know.
