Today I'm going to share my tips for public speaking!

今天我要來跟大家分享我演講的秘訣！

It's been a while since we've done an English Corner video,

那我們今天這一集是久違的 English Corner 喔

so in a moment we'll start with the English portion of the video.

所以待會會是全英文的影片

Remember, if you want to watch this video with English subtitles,

記得如果要看英文字幕的話

click the YouTube "CC" button,

要點 YouTube 的 CC

and if you want to watch it with dual English-Chinese subtitles, click the link below to watch it on VoiceTube!

或者是可以到更多連結去到 VoiceTube 看中英文字幕

Yeah, I know.

對，我知道

It’s been quite some time since I did a video completely in English.

我已經好一陣子沒有做全英文的影片了

Last time I remember it was the video about swear words?

我記得上次的是那個關於髒話的影片？

Which was like…what?

大概是⋯什麼時候？

Five years ago?

五年前？

But anyway I’m back now.

但不論如何，我回來了

I feel like it’s necessary for us

我覺得我們應該

to put out at least one video completely in English per month

每個月至少發布一部全英文的影片

so that you guys can practice your English listening

讓你們可以練習英文聽力

or to see if you've improved.

或是檢測自己是否有進步

So as you can see in the title today,

所以呢，你可以從今天的標題得知，

we’re talking about giving speeches.

我們要來討論發表演講。

I’ve always thought highly of public speaking.

我對於公開演說的評價一直都很高

And I remember back in the days in high school

而且我記得在我高中的時候

I attended this leadership program in the U.S.

我在美國參加了一個領袖計劃

and I experienced the best speech of my life.

並且體驗到了我這一生中聽過最棒的演講

He was a motivational speaker who was talking about

那位講者是一位勵志演說家，

how we should “map out our lives and find our passion.”

講的是我們該「如何規劃自己的人生並找到熱情所在」

Though it’s a pretty generic topic, I know,

儘管這是個很普遍的主題，我知道

but the presentation he put up is pure gold.

但他演講的技巧無懈可擊

He’s vibrant,

他很有活力，

he’s thoughtful,

他很深思熟慮，

he’s inspirational.

他很有啟發性

All those things.

這一切

That’s why when I came back to Taiwan from the camp,

這也是為什麼當我結束那個領袖營回到台灣後，

I decided to join the debate club.

我便決定要加入辯論社

There was no public speaking club,

那時沒有什麼公共演說社，

so I thought, "Oh,

所以我想「噢，

maybe in the debate club I could learn how to speak."

或許我可以在辯論社中學習如何演說」

Fast forward to three years later.

時間快轉到三年後，

I didn’t get to do much public speaking at all,

我沒有得到什麼公開演說的機會，

I spent most of the time studying and researching for a debate,

我花了大部分的時間在為辯論研究、搜集資料，

and when it’s finally my chance to speak,

並且當我好不容易有機會開口時，

I always get interrupted.

我總是被打斷

But I didn’t give up.

但我並沒有放棄

In college, I signed up for a lot of public speaking courses

上了大學，我選修了很多公共演講的課

and I continued to train myself to speak.

並且我也持續訓練自己的口說

I’m always the one volunteering for reports,

我總是主動要上台報告，

and I even got first place in a schoolwide English Speech Contest,

而且我甚至在校際英語演講比賽中得到了第一名，

beating international students.

打敗了許多國際學生

Wait, do I sound like I’m bragging?

等等，我聽起來像在自誇嗎？

So long story short,

長話短說，

I’ve put a lot of work into becoming a good speaker.

我花了多心力去成為一個好的講者

It’s partly the reason why I can be a good YouTuber,

我能成為一個好的 Youtuber 一部分也是因為這個，

because I can express myself logically

因為我可以有邏輯地闡述我的想法

and make you care about what I have to say.

並讓你在乎我想說些什麼

Having said that,

話說回來，

I enjoy going to speeches.

我很享受參加演講

I have in fact went to over eighty speeches

事實上，我已經參加過八十場以上的演講

ever since the start of my YouTube career.

從我開始我的 Youtuber 職涯後算起

Some were in schools,

有些是在學校，

some were in companies,

有些是在公司，

some were for YouTube itself.

有些則是為了 YouTube 本身

I have to say,

我必須說

giving a good speech gives you such a great sense of achievement,

發表一場好的演講帶來的成就感之大，

much more than anything else I’ve ever done.

遠大於我所做過的任何其他事情

Especially when you go off the cuff

尤其是在你臨時起意

and come up with ways to interact with your audience

想到一些跟觀眾互動的方法

and make them laugh.

並且成功逗他們笑的時候

Yeah, that’s some quality freestyling right there.

對，那是需要一點自由發揮的技巧

And though I no longer go to a lot of speeches anymore,

並且儘管我不再參加很多演講

we have 3 videos every week,

我們仍每週發布三部影片

that’s a lot of work, you know.

那是很龐大的工作量，你知道

I still wanted to share with you 3 tips

我另外想再跟你們分享三個訣竅

that will make your speech stand out.

讓你的演講可以令人眼睛為之一亮

The Hook

「鉤子」

With this first tip,

藉由第一個訣竅，

you will learn how to captivate your audience from the first minute.

你會學到如何從最一開始就成功吸引到觀眾

Interested?

有興趣了嗎？

That’s exactly how a hook works.

這就是「鉤子」發揮作用的方式

Instead of saying flat out,

與其平淡地說出

“I’m gonna talk about this this and that.”

「我接下來要講的是關於這個跟那個」

Try to produce a hook.

試著製造出一個「鉤子」

Put your point behind problems people want to solve

將你要陳述的要點放在人們會想解決的問題

or answers people wish to seek.

或是人們想尋找的解答後面

So use that as an effective hook.

所以好好應用這個有效的「鉤子」

Make people care about the point you’re trying to make.

讓人們去在乎你想闡述的要點

That way people get hooked to what you have to say,

這樣一來，人們就會被你所要說的事情「勾住」

and stay attentive until you give them the takeaway.

並且在你給出結論前都會保持專注

The Interaction

「互動」

What a lot of speakers tend to forget

很多講者常常忘記的

is that they need to interact with their audience.

是他們必須跟台下的觀眾互動

A good speech is not like a good lecture.

一場好的演講不同於好的學術性演說

You are not there to spew knowledge onto the listeners.

你站在台上不是為了灌輸知識給觀眾

You are there to make a presentation,

你是要做一個發表，

guide the thought process

引導思考的過程，

and inspire questions and solutions.

並且啟發各種問題和解決方法

So throughout the speech,

所以在演講的過程中

you should plan ways to interact with your audience.

你必須規劃和觀眾互動的方法

It can be through polling,

可以藉由調查，

you can ask a key question.

你可以問一個關鍵的問題

It can be anything to get your audience to take a break from just listening

也可以是任何能夠讓你的觀眾們在聆聽的過程中暫喘一口氣

and interact with you.

並與你互動的事物

Do this and you will find your audience

做這個，你會發現你的觀眾

to be more attentive and focused.

會更專注且集中

The Surprise

「驚喜」

This is the secret guiding principle

當我在設計我的演講時

when I’m designing my speeches.

會有這條特殊的指導原則

I try to give my audience surprises.

我試著給我的觀眾驚喜

I find that things out of the ordinary

我發現那些異於平常

or not to be expected creates a comedy effect.

或是出乎意料的事物可以創造喜劇性的效果

When you poise yourself obviously to say one thing

當你擺出準備好要講某件事的姿態

but then, in the next moment,

但是卻在下一刻

turn entirely to something else.

完全改變話題的方向

That creates surprise.

這就會帶來驚喜

I can even quote Aristotle on this:

我甚至可以在這裡引用亞里斯多德的名言：

“The secret to humor is surprise.”

「幽默的秘密在於驚喜」

So next time try creating a surprise for your audience,

所以下次試著為你的觀眾製造一些驚喜，

you will be pleasantly surprised.

你也會為了他們的反應而感到驚喜

So that’s what I’ve got in store for you today.

所以這就是我今天為你們所準備的

My secrets to a good speech.

發表一場好演講的秘訣

Hopefully you can take those up your sleeves

希望你們能夠將這些秘訣謹記在心

and use it when the time comes.

並在機會來臨的時候好好使用它們

Wait, are you still watching?

等等，你還在看？

Okay, good.

Okay 很好
