Preparing a Presentation

准备简报

对话内容

ngPreparing a Presentation

(Andrea is talking to Jeremy about a presentation she is preparing)

Andrea: Jeremy, I'm nervous about a presentation I have to make at an upcoming press conference.

Jeremy: I can see why you might be nervous.

Andrea: I've made an outline of what I'm going to say. I've also practiced, so it seems natural. Is there anything else I should keep in mind?

Jeremy: Make sure to introduce yourself to the audience. You also need to have an attention-getting introduction and a strong conclusion. These are the most important parts of a presentation.

Andrea: That makes a lot of sense. How about body language and tone of voice?

Jeremy: Use gestures to highlight your points, but don't overdo it. Too many movements can be distracting. Oh, and properly explain visuals, such as graphs in your PowerPoint slides, to the audience. However, don't read straight from the slides.

Andrea: I know that I also shouldn't speak in a monotone voice. It will put people to sleep.

Jeremy: That's right. In terms of your delivery, think about chunking information into threes: for example, 'Our product is safe, reliable, and effective.' Repeating important information during your presentation also makes a greater impact and helps the audience remember important points.

Andrea: I see.

Jeremy: One more thing: humor is an effective way to establish rapport with your audience.

对话翻译

电话会议

（安德里亚在和杰里米谈论她在准备的简报）

安德里亚 : 杰里米，我要在即将到来的记者会上做简报，我很紧张。

杰里米 : 我可以理解你为什么会紧张。

安德里亚 : 我已做好要说的内容大纲。我也练习过好让简报能自然流畅。还有什么是我需要留意的吗？

杰里米 : 记得向观众介绍自己。你也需要有引人注意的开场和强而有力的结尾。这两项在简报当中是最重要的。

安德里亚 : 很有道理。那么肢体语言和说话语调呢？

杰里米 : 利用手势来强调重点，但不要过度使用。太多的动作也会造成分心。喔，适当地向观众说明像投影片页面里的图表等视觉呈现。然而，不要直接按照页面的内容朗读。

安德里亚 : 我知道我也不能用单调的语气说话。那会让人想睡觉。
