If I had only one tip to give, it would be to be passionate about your topic andlet that enthusiasm come out. Yes, you need great content. Yes, you needprofessional, well designed visuals. But it is all for naught if you do nothave a deep, heartfelt belief in your topic. The biggest item that separatesmediocre presenters from world class ones is the ability to connect with anaudience in an honest and exciting way. Don't hold back. Be confident. And letyour passion for your topic come out for all to see.

如果我僅有一條建議的話(huà),，那就是：對(duì)您的話(huà)題充滿(mǎn)激情，讓您的熱情爆發(fā)出來(lái),！不錯(cuò),，您的話(huà)題需要完美的內(nèi)容,，需要專(zhuān)業(yè)的、精心設(shè)計(jì)的視覺(jué)效果,。但是如果您對(duì)自己的話(huà)題沒(méi)有深刻的,、發(fā)自?xún)?nèi)心深處的自信，那么一切將化為烏有,。世界級(jí)大師與普通演講者的最大區(qū)別在于,，他們具有以真誠(chéng)而令人興奮的方式與聽(tīng)眾進(jìn)行溝通的能力。不要退縮,！自信起來(lái),！將您的激情展現(xiàn)給大家看！

 2. Start strong

2.開(kāi)個(gè)好頭

You've heard it before: First impressions are powerful. Believe it. The first 2-3minutes of the presentation are the most important. The audience wants to likeyou and they will give you a few minutes at the beginning to engage them --don't miss the opportunity. Most presenters fail here because they ramble ontoo long about superfluous background information or theirpersonal/professional history, etc.

 您以前應(yīng)該聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)：第一印象非常重要,。相信這一點(diǎn),。開(kāi)始2-3分鐘的演講是最重要的。觀眾要喜歡您,，一開(kāi)始會(huì)給您幾分鐘適應(yīng)——不要錯(cuò)過(guò)這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì),。很多的演講者栽倒在這里，因?yàn)樗麄兓ㄌ嗟臅r(shí)間來(lái)介紹過(guò)量的背景知識(shí),，或者是他們個(gè)人的/專(zhuān)業(yè)的歷史,。

3. Keep it short

3.保持簡(jiǎn)短

 Humanshave short attention spans when it comes to passively sitting and listening toa speaker. Audience attention is greatest at the opening and then again whenyou say something like "In conclusion...." This is just the humancondition, especially so for the busy (often tired) knowledge worker of today.So, if you have 30 minutes for your talk, finish in 25 minutes. It is better tohave the audience wanting more (of you) than to feel that they have had morethan enough. Professional entertainers know this very well.

當(dāng)人們坐下被動(dòng)地聽(tīng)您演講時(shí)，他們的注意力是非常短的,。在演講開(kāi)始的時(shí),，以及在您

說(shuō)“綜上所述……”的時(shí)候，聽(tīng)眾的注意力最集中,。這是人之常情,，特別是對(duì)于今天繁忙（經(jīng)常勞累）的知識(shí)工作者來(lái)說(shuō)。因此,，如果您有30分鐘的演講,，那就25分鐘完成吧。最好是讓觀眾感到?jīng)]聽(tīng)夠,，而不是讓他們覺(jué)得您講的太多,。專(zhuān)業(yè)的娛樂(lè)界藝人就很懂得這個(gè)道理。

4. Move awayfrom the podium

 4.離開(kāi)講臺(tái)

Get closer to your audience by moving away from or in front of the podium. Thepodium is a barrier between you and the audience, but the goal of our presentationis to connect with the audience. Removing physical barriers between you and theaudience will help you build rapport and make a connection.

 站在講臺(tái)前面,，或離開(kāi)講臺(tái),，去接近您的聽(tīng)眾。講臺(tái)是您和聽(tīng)眾之間的障礙,，而我們演講的目的是與聽(tīng)眾建立聯(lián)系,。掃除您和聽(tīng)眾之間的實(shí)物障礙，有助于您與聽(tīng)眾建立聯(lián)系,，利于溝通,。

 5. Use a remote-control device

5.使用遙控翻頁(yè)器

 To advance your slides and builds, use a small, handheld remote. A handheld remotewill allow you to move away from the podium. This is an absolute must. Keyspanhas two good ones. I highly recommend the Keyspan Presentation Remote. Manypeople like the Interlink remote as well.

使用一種小型的手持式遙控翻頁(yè)器來(lái)控制您的幻燈片,。翻頁(yè)器可使您能夠離開(kāi)講臺(tái)。這是絕

對(duì)必要的,！KeySan有兩種遙控翻頁(yè)產(chǎn)品,，我吐血推薦Keyspan。不過(guò)也有許多人喜歡Interlink 牌子的,。

 6. Remember the“B” key

 6. 記住“B”鍵

 If you press the “B” key while your PowerPoint or Keynote slide is showing, thescreen will go blank. This is useful if you need to digress or move off thetopic presented on the slide. By having the slide blank, all the attention cannow be placed back on you. When you are ready to move on, just press the “B”key again and the image reappears.

當(dāng)您的PPT或Keynote幻燈片處于放映狀態(tài)時(shí),，按下“B”鍵，屏幕立即變?yōu)榭瞻?。這一招在您

需要轉(zhuǎn)移話(huà)題時(shí)非常有用,。通過(guò)把幻燈片變成空白，就可以將聽(tīng)眾的注意力全都轉(zhuǎn)移到您身上,。當(dāng)您準(zhǔn)備好繼續(xù)演講時(shí),，再次按下“B”鍵，幻燈片圖像就會(huì)重新出現(xiàn),。

7. Make good eye contact

7.眼神接觸

Try looking at individuals rather than scanning the group. Since you are using acomputer, you never need to look at the screen behind you — just glance down atthe computer screen briefly. One sure way to lose an audience is to turn yourback on them. And while you're maintaining great eye contact, don't forget tosmile as well. Unless your topic is very grim, a smile can be a very powerful thing.

盡力用眼睛盯住聽(tīng)眾,，而不是朝大伙輕瞄一眼。由于您正使用電腦,，因此您決不需要看您后面的大屏幕——短時(shí)間低頭看一下電腦屏幕就行了。把背朝向聽(tīng)眾的做法一定會(huì)使您失去他們的,。而當(dāng)您和聽(tīng)眾保持良好的眼神接觸時(shí),，別忘了也要微笑一下。除非您的話(huà)題非常嚴(yán)肅,，否則保持微笑是非常非常有好處的,。

8. Keep thelights on

8.打開(kāi)室內(nèi)燈光

 If you are speaking in a meeting room or a classroom, the temptation is to turnthe lights off so that the slides look better. But go for a compromise betweena bright screen image and ambient room lighting. Turning the lights off — besidesinducing sleep — puts all the focus on the screen. The audience should belooking at you more than the screen. Today’s projectors are bright enough toallow you to keep many of the lights on.

如果您是在會(huì)議室或教室演講，那么關(guān)燈之后的幻燈片效果好些,。但是要對(duì)明亮的屏幕圖像和室內(nèi)光線(xiàn)之間進(jìn)行權(quán)衡,。關(guān)了燈——除非是讓大家睡覺(jué)——就是把大家的注意力都引到屏幕上了！聽(tīng)眾應(yīng)該多看您,，而不是看屏幕,！現(xiàn)在的投影儀已經(jīng)足夠亮了，您可以將室內(nèi)的大多數(shù)燈光打開(kāi),。

 9. Use a TV forsmall groups

9.為小組提供電視

 If you are presenting to a small group, then you can connect your computer to alarge TV (via the s-video line-in). With a TV screen, you can keep all or mostof the lights on. Make sure your text and graphics are large enough to be seenon the small the screen. You will probably have to increase the type size significantly.

 如果您的聽(tīng)眾是一個(gè)小組,，那么你就可以將電腦連接到一個(gè)大型電視（通過(guò)S端接入）。有了電視屏幕,，你就可以打開(kāi)大部分的燈光,。請(qǐng)確保您的文本和圖形足夠大，這樣在小屏幕上才看得清楚,。您可能需要增大字號(hào)的大小,。

 10. At alltimes: courteous, gracious, & professional

10.在任何時(shí)候：禮貌,、和藹、專(zhuān)業(yè)

When audience members ask questions or give comments, you should be gracious andthank them for their input. Even if someone is being difficult, you must keepto the high ground and at all times be a gentleman or lady and courteously dealwith such individuals. The true professional can always remain cool and incontrol. Remember, it is your reputation, so always remain gracious even withthe most challenging of audiences.

當(dāng)觀眾提問(wèn)或作評(píng)論的時(shí)候,，你應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)心態(tài)隨和,，并感謝他們參與。即使有人刻意刁難,，您也要表現(xiàn)出紳士或淑女之風(fēng),，以高姿態(tài)、禮貌的方式妥善處理,。真正的專(zhuān)業(yè)人士總是能保持冷靜,，控制局面。請(qǐng)記住,，這是您的聲譽(yù),，即使遇到最難對(duì)付的聽(tīng)眾，也始終保持和藹可親,。
