情態助動詞 B1

Speech writing must be one of the weirdest jobs in the world.

寫演講稿一定是世界上最詭異的工作之一了。

情態副詞

No matter how carefully  the words have been prepared,

程度副詞

you are never quite sure  how they are gonna be delivered.

你永遠不能肯定它們將如何被傳達。

and I was watching one of my clients,  who is a big Australian businessman,

我當時正在看著我的客戶，他是個澳洲的商人，

deliver a speech that I'd written for him.

I'd written for him this passage,  kind of with Winston Churchill in mind,

我寫給他這麼一段文章，像是想到邱吉爾，

about how we've got to fight for our future,

關於我們將如何為自己的未來拼搏；

fight to protect our position,  fight our competitors.

為了保護自己的職位拼搏；擊敗我們的競爭對手。

And I'd forgotten  about the Australian accent.

And I watched from the back of the room  with horror as I saw him go,

我在場地的最後排，帶著恐懼，聽著他的演講。

"We've got to 'fart' for our future, 'fart' to protect our position,

「我們將為了未來而幹(fight－音似fart－)；為了保護我們的職位而幹(fight－音似fart－)；」

and I'll tell you what, folks,  when I wake up every morning,

我告訴你們，各位，當我每天早上醒來，

there is one thing I know for sure  I'm gonna do that day; 'fart'!"

我總是很確定我將要做的一件事情，那就是「幹」(fart－音似fight－)

So today I'm gonna share with you  some speechwriter secrets.

所以今天我將要與你分享一些演講稿寫手的秘密。

but there is a secret language of leadership;

a secret language of leadership  that we all used to be taught at school.

這個領導語言秘密是我們過去經常被學校教導的。

This was a core part of the curriculum in Ancient Rome, part of the trivium.

這是古羅馬三學科中，最核心的一部分課程。

In London, right the way  through to the 19th century,

it was possible to get a free education in rhetoric, but not in mathematics,

我們很可能接受免費的修辭學教育，而不是數學，

reflecting the importance  that was placed on the topic.

這反映出修辭學被放在主要科目的重要性。

Today, teaching in rhetoric is restricted; restricted to a powerful, privileged few.

時至今日，修辭學教育是備受限制的；受限於有力的、有特權的少數幾個人。

So what I'm gonna do in my speech is revive this ancient art of rhetoric

所以我將會在我接下來的演講中做的事情是，復甦這個古代修辭學藝術，

and share with you six techniques  so that you can all speak like leaders.

並且和妳們分享６個技巧，使你們全都可以像領導人那樣子演說。

That's because I'm mimicking,  hyperventilating.

這是因為我正在模仿，呼吸過度。

This is an ancient Roman  rhetorical device;

這是一個領導人還在使用的技巧。

the worst financial crisis  in a generation.

一個世代中最慘的經濟危機。」

Well, three is the magic number in rhetoric.

恩，在修辭學中有個魔術數字。

"Government of the people,  by the people, for the people."

「政府是民有，民治，民享。」

(In German)  "One people, one empire, one leader."

（德語）「一個人，一個帝國，一個領導人。」

(In Italian)  "Eat well, laugh often, love much."

（義大利語）「吃的好，常笑，愛多一點。」

That was the hardest part of this speech to practice,

這是這場演講中最難練習的一部分了。

This is also an ancient Roman  rhetorical device.

這也是古羅馬修辭學中的工具。

which makes it sound like  a peculiar part of the digestive system.

他聽起來像是消化系統的某個罕見部位。

但是它就僅僅是將東西三個三個放在一起。

你將你的論述以三為單位放在一起。

it makes it sound more compelling,  more convincing, more credible.

這使得論述聽起來更受矚目，更有說服力，更有可信度。

And so we find the rule of three  here, there, and everywhere.

所以我們找到三的定律，在這裡，在那裡，在所有地方。

And so indeed you can tell the history of Verona

所以你確實可以說出維洛那的歷史，

through nothing more  than the rule of three.

If you think that Caesar used to come here 2,000 years ago,

如果你認為凱薩在２０００年前經常到這裡，

莎士比亞寫了「羅密歐與茱麗葉」

"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?"

「羅密歐，羅密歐，為何你是羅密歐？」

far and away the most momentous event in Verona's history -

維洛那的歷史中，遙遠、最具有歷史性的活動，

「重新發明、重新想、重新傳遞」

Three sentences in which  the opening clause is repeated.

三個句子當中，第一個句子被一直重複述說。

Now this is what Winston Churchill did with his,

we shall fight on the fields  and in the streets."

我們將在田野、街道上戰鬥。」

Of course, he could have said this  a whole lot quicker.

當然，他可以把這整句話說快一點。

But he wanted to communicate his emotion, so he repeated it.

但是他想傳達他的情緒，所以他重複了這句話。

When we are emotional about things,  our perspective distorts.

當我們對某件事情充滿情緒，我們的觀點會扭曲，

這當然就反映在我們的談吐上。

And so this is the authentic sound of passion.
