Hints

give your audience something of  _____(填空不写)

-they feel better about themselves

-they feel better about the jobs they have to do

-they feel happy or entertained


 

Before I discovered this, I used to put incredible pressure on myself to deliver a perfect performance. I worked for days to prepare a talk. I stayed up nights worrying about making mistakes. I spent hours and hours rehearsing what I was going to say. And you know what? All this did was to make me even more anxious. The more perfect I tried to be, the worse I did. It was all very disheartening, not to mention unnecessary. The essence of public speaking is this: give your audience something of value. That's all there is to it. If people in your audience walk away with something of value, they will consider you a success. If they walk away feeling better about themselves, feeling better about some job they have to do, they will consider you a success. If they walk away feeling happy or entertained, they will consider their time with you worthwhile.
我在发现这个道理之前曾经为了一个完美的表现给自己施加了难以想象的压力。我曾花好多天准备一篇演讲。有好几个夜晚我彻夜未眠只是担心会犯错误。我花了好几个小时做演讲排练。然后你猜怎么着?这一切只让我更着急!我越是想做的完美,结果越是糟糕!没有比这更令人沮丧不过的了，先不说我没有必要这样做。公众演讲的本质，就是:给你的观众有价值的东西。这就是所有的东西。如果你的听众带走一些有价值的东西,他们会认为你的演讲是一个成功。如果他们离开时对自己以及他们不得不做的工作感觉良好，他们会认为你的演讲是一个成功。如果他们离开时感到快乐或享受,他们会认为这段时间很有价值。 翻译by sugarle
