Thips for Dealing with Nervousness from a Famous Speaker
知名演講家談怎樣應付公眾演講恐懼
The following speech was given by a famous American speaker.
下面這篇是美國一著名演說家的演講。
It is not only a good example of public speaking,it also shows us insight into nervousness reduction in public speaking.
它不但是一篇演講的典范，同時也是對削減公眾演講恐懼的精辟論述。
Ladies and gentlemen,
先生們，女士們，
Today I want to talk about some tips to help deal with nervousness.
今天我想想談談處理演講緊張的幾個技巧。
Notice that I didn't say overcome nervousness?
不知道你有沒有注意到我并沒有說“消除恐懼”，
That is because I believe that there is nothing thatwill make you instantly calm while speaking in public except of course,for horse tranquilizers.
那只是因為我認為在公眾演講中你不可能保持絕對的平靜，當然，除非你服用精神鎮定劑。
The secret to achieving true calm,without drugs,is in practice.
真正要取得心理鎮定的秘決是練習而不是通過鎮定劑。
So I'd like to share some tips that will make you appear calmwhile you are working at expanding your comfort zone.
如果你一直在努力使自己演講更加輕松的話，我想同你分享一下能夠讓你保持平靜的幾個秘訣。
First of all,the very best way to deal with nervousness is to practice.
首先，充足的練習是應付緊張的最好方法。
Practice your speech so much that you can do it while on autopilot.
經常練習演講能夠讓你熟能生巧，發揮自如。
That way,your lips and bldy will know what to doeven if your mind has checked-out.
這樣，即使你的大腦一片空白，你的嘴唇和身體的動作也會不由自主地協調起來。
While speaking,concentrate on breathing slowly and deeply.
說話的時候，保持呼吸緩慢而深沉，
Not only will you not hyperventilate this waybut you will also keep a nice steady supply of oxygenflowing through your blood stream.
這樣你不但不會呼吸過度而變得悶抑，你還可以通過血液得到平穩的氧氣供給。
Nervous people have a tendency to take short shallows breaths.
精神緊張的人往往趨向于呼吸急促且短淺。
Hum a key before you begin to speak and lower your voice just a tiny bit.
說話前為自己定一個調，聲音放低一點。
The resultant noise will sound less like the pitch of a nervous mouse and more like a normal speaking voice.
這樣你的聲音就不會聽起來過于緊張而更像一種自然說話聲音。
Avoid nervous hand gestures,too.
還要避免緊張的手勢動作，不要裝腔作勢，猶如穿著新裝的皇帝。
Don't pretend that you are Adam and give yourself a fig leaf.
不要裝腔作勢，猶如穿著新裝的皇帝。
Don't wring your hands like a substitute teacher in the wildest home room.
不要像在年級教室里的代課老帥一樣使勁揮動雙手。
If you haven't got a good use for them at the time,
如果你不是很擅長使用手勢的話
keep those hands hanging freely at your side.
就讓你的手在一旁自然放著。
And try to put the whole thing into perspective.
正確衡量整體事物。
What's there to be afraid of anyway?
究竟還有什么東西值得害怕呢？
Does the state of world peace hang on the result of this one presentation?
你的演講影響著世界的和平？
Are small children going to die as result?
關系著兒童的生死？
Will it even be something that you remember in five years time?
五年后它還會成為你難以忘記的事情？
Why are we afraid of public speaking anyway?
公眾演講到底有什么恐懼的呢？
There is no good reason.
我們很難為恐懼找到其合理的理由。
We got something to say,why can't we say it?
我們有話要說，為什么不能說呢？
Some fears we have for a good reason.
但是有些恐懼確實有其存在的原因，
For instance,I'm not planning to take up sky diving any time soon.
例如，我們沒有乘過飛機。
I'm not quite ready to die yet.
我們沒有為死亡做好準備。
But fear of public speaking?
但卻為什么偏要害怕公眾演講呢？
It si completely irrational.
這完全是荒謬無理的。
Think of the fear in that way and try to see it for what it really is,Stupid.
如果我們這樣去想想，究竟為什么而害怕，就會發現這真是個太愚蠢的行為。
And if all else fails,quote a little Shakespeare.
如果一切都不能奏效的話，那就引用一些莎士比亞的名言。
I have a favorite line that gave me strenghtand I used to repeat it like a mantra.
我有一條非常喜愛的名言，曾經給我力量，我過去把它當作一條真理一樣引用。
Unfortunately the context from which it comes is a teensy bit grim.
不幸的是，這句話的所出背景卻有點殘酷。
It hapens to be the tool that Lady MacBethused to talk the hubby into rubbing out the king.
它卻是麥克白夫人用來要求丈夫除掉國王的工具。
But it is a great line,none the less.
但它確實很偉大。
And it is the line that I'd like to end this educational minute with.
在這里我想用此句來結束最后啟發性的一刻。
It goes like this:Screw your courage to the sticking place and we shall not fail
它是這樣的；擠出你最大的勇氣我們就不會失敗。
The truth about public speaking,however,is it does not have to be stressful!
人們對公眾演講都有很大的壓力，其實不然。
If you corrctly understand the hidden causes of public speaking stress,
只要你真正理解公眾演講恐懼的潛在原因，
and if you keep just a key principles in mind,speaking in public will soon become an invigorating and satisfying experience for you.
只要你記住一些主要的方法，公眾演講一定會變成一次自信與滿足的經歷。
