I want it to be as interesting as possible, so I think I'm going to add some audio to spice it up a little.

我希望它越有趣越好，所以我想我要添加一些音頻，讓它更有趣一些。

Start by going to the Insert tab… where you'll find the Audio command on the far right of the ribbon.

首先，進入 "插入 "選項卡......在功能區的最右側找到 "音頻 "命令。

Here you can insert audio from a file, or you can record your own.

在這裡，您可以插入文件中的音頻，也可以錄製自己的音頻。

For this first slide, I want to add some intro music that I already have saved to my computer.

在第一張幻燈片中，我想添加一些已經保存在電腦中的前奏音樂。

So I'm going to choose Audio on My PC… and a dialog box will appear.

是以，我要選擇 "我的電腦上的音頻"......然後會出現一個對話框。

PowerPoint is compatible with several different audio formats, including MP3, WAV, and more.

PowerPoint 兼容多種不同的音頻格式，包括 MP3、WAV 等。

All you have to do is select the file you want… then click the Insert button.

您只需選擇想要的文件......然後單擊 "插入 "按鈕。

You can easily move the audio if you need to… then click the Play button to preview it.

如果需要，您可以輕鬆移動音頻......然後單擊 "播放 "按鈕進行預覽。

To jump to a different part of the song, just click anywhere on the timeline.

要跳轉到歌曲的不同部分，只需點擊時間軸上的任意位置即可。

Next we're going to take a look at ways to add narration by recording your own audio.

接下來，我們將看看如何通過錄制自己的音頻來添加旁白。

You just need a microphone—one that's either built into your computer, or the kind that plugs in separately.

你只需要一個麥克風--內置在電腦中的麥克風，或者單獨插在電腦上的麥克風。

Again, go to the Audio command on the Insert tab… but this time, choose Record Audio from the menu… and a little dialog box will appear.

再次進入 "插入 "選項卡上的 "音頻 "命令......但這次要從菜單中選擇 "錄製音頻"......然後會出現一個小對話框。

When you're ready, click the button with the red dot to start recording… then click this one to stop.

準備就緒後，點擊帶紅點的按鈕開始錄音......然後點擊這個按鈕停止錄音。

I'm just going to record a short intro for the slide.

我只想為幻燈片錄一段簡短的開場白。

But I already know how to use the Internet.

但我已經知道如何使用互聯網了。

Okay, so I've recorded my audio… now we can click the Play button to preview it.

好了，我已經錄好音頻了......現在我們可以點擊 "播放 "按鈕進行預覽。

But I already know how to use the Internet.

但我已經知道如何使用互聯網了。

When you're happy with the results, you can give the file a name… then click OK… and it'll be added to your slide.

當你對結果滿意時，可以為文件命名......然後單擊 "確定"......它就會被添加到幻燈片中。

Now that we've added a couple different types of audio, I thought we'd take a look at some of the options on the Playback tab.

既然我們已經添加了幾種不同類型的音頻，我想我們可以看看 "播放 "選項卡上的一些選項。

This is where you can change the way your audio works when you play it during your presentation.

在這裡，您可以更改在演示過程中播放音頻的方式。

You can even do some simple editing.

您甚至可以進行一些簡單的編輯。

Say you only want to use part of the clip, for example—not the entire thing.

比如說，你只想使用片段的一部分，而不是全部。

You can easily create an excerpt using the Trim Audio command.

您可以使用 "修剪音頻 "命令輕鬆創建摘錄。

Just look for the little green and red markers in the dialog box.

只需查看對話框中的綠色和紅色小標記即可。

You can click and drag these to change the start and end times.

您可以點擊並拖動這些按鈕來更改開始和結束時間。

I'm going to leave the beginning the way it is in this example, but end the song after only a few seconds or so.

在這個例子中，我將保留開頭部分，但只用幾秒鐘左右就結束歌曲。

When you're done, click OK… and the clip will be trimmed.

完成後，單擊 "確定"......剪輯就完成了。

You can also set your audio to fade in and fade out if you feel it starts or stops too abruptly.

如果您覺得音頻開始或停止得太突然，還可以設置淡入淡出。

Just look to the options in the Editing group.

只需查看編輯組中的選項即可。

I like the way this song starts, so I'm not going to add a fade in… but I will add a fade out of, let's say, 3 seconds.

我喜歡這首歌的開頭，所以我不會加入淡入......但我會加入淡出，比方說，3 秒鐘。

We'll take a look at what this sounds like later.

我們稍後再看看這聽起來像什麼。

If you want to be able to jump to a specific part of the audio during your presentation, you can add a bookmark.

如果想在演示過程中跳轉到音頻的某個特定部分，可以添加書籤。

All you have to do is click the timeline to mark the point you want to use.

您只需點擊時間軸，標記出想要使用的點。

Next, click the Add Bookmark command up here on the ribbon… and a little circle will appear.

接下來，點擊功能區上的添加書籤命令......一個小圓圈就會出現。

Now you can easily jump to this spot any time during your presentation.

現在，您可以在演示過程中隨時輕鬆跳轉到這個位置。

When we play this in slideshow view, we will have to click the audio controls to make the music play.

在幻燈片視圖中播放時，我們需要點擊音頻控件來播放音樂。

I'd rather have it start automatically, though, since it is the intro music.

不過，我更希望它能自動啟動，因為這是前奏音樂。

We can change this using the settings in the Audio Options group.

我們可以通過音頻選項組中的設置進行更改。

Just click the drop-down arrow next to Start, then choose Automatically from the menu.

只需單擊 "開始 "旁邊的下拉箭頭，然後從菜單中選擇 "自動"。

You can also hide the audio icon during your presentation… set the audio to loop until you stop it manually… and more.

您還可以在演示過程中隱藏音頻圖標......設置音頻循環，直到手動停止......等等。

Finally, I think I'd like to make some changes to the appearance of the audio icon.

最後，我想我想對音頻圖標的外觀做一些改動。

We can do that by switching over to the Format tab.

我們可以切換到 "格式 "選項卡。

These are basically all the same options you get when you insert a picture in PowerPoint.

這些選項與在 PowerPoint 中插入圖片時獲得的選項基本相同。

In fact, you can even change the audio icon to a picture of your own, instead of using the default speaker icon.

事實上，你甚至可以將音頻圖標更改為自己的圖片，而不是使用默認的揚聲器圖標。

To get started, click the Change Picture command.

要開始操作，請單擊 "更改圖片 "命令。

You can choose an image from any of the usual sources, including files saved to your computer, and a Bing image search.

您可以從任何常用來源選擇圖片，包括保存在電腦中的文件和必應圖片搜索。

I bet we can find a simple music note somewhere online… there we go, this one looks good.

我打賭我們可以在網上找到一個簡單的音符......好了，這個看起來不錯。

You can even adjust the image using the usual commands.

您甚至可以使用常用命令調整影像。

In this example, I'm going to change the color so it blends in a little better with the slide.

在這個例子中，我將改變顏色，使其與幻燈片更好地融合在一起。

So I think my audio is finished.

所以我覺得我的音頻已經完成了。

Why don't we take a look at the final product in full slideshow view?

我們何不用幻燈片全景來看看最終成品呢？

Now you know how to add and also edit audio in PowerPoint, including music, sound effects, and even your own narration.

現在您知道如何在 PowerPoint 中添加和編輯音頻了，包括音樂、音效，甚至您自己的旁白。
