英语演讲稿的写作格式
英语演讲稿的组成部分:
从大的方面看,英语演讲词实际上是属于一种特殊的说明文或议论文,其基本组成部分是:
(1)开始时对听众的称呼语
最常用的是 ladies and gentlemen,也可根据不同情况,选用 fellow students, distinguished guests, mr chairman, honorable judges(评委)等等。
(2)提出论题
由于演讲的时间限制,必须开门见山,提出论题。提出论题的方法有各种各样,但最生动,最能引起注意的是用举例法。比如:你要呼吁大家关心贫穷地区的孩子,你可以用亲眼看到的或者收集到的那些贫穷孩子多么需要帮助的实例开始。另外,用具体的统计数据也是一个有效的引出论题的方法,比如:你要谈遵守交通规则的话题,你可以从举一系列有关车辆、车祸等的数据开始。
(3)论证
对提出的论题,不可主观地妄下结论,而要进行客观的论证。这是演讲中最需要下功夫的部分。关键是要把道理讲清楚。常见的论证方法有举例法、因果法、对比法等等,可参见英语议论文的有关章节。
(4)结论
结论要简明扼要,以给听众留下深刻印象。
(5)结尾
结尾要简洁,不要拉拉扯扯,说个没完。特别是不要受汉语影响,说些类似“准备不足,请谅解”,“请批评指正”这样的废话。最普通的结尾就是:thank you very much for your attention。
英语演讲稿注意事项:
1.演讲要越短越好
关于写好英语演讲稿,应该要直截了当,开门见山的,不应该有中文的那种迂回婉转的表达方式。据有关专家统计,一般人的注意力一次只能集中约13分钟。所以,演讲长度以10~15分钟为宜。
2.根据听众对象,注意演讲的总体措词
演讲的总体措词是严肃一些还是活泼一些,是有较明显的说教口气还是用平等的口吻,等等,都要根据听众对象而定。如果场下听众是同龄的学生,那么演讲的内容只要风趣一些往往就能引起共鸣。但另一方面,如果听众大多是上了年纪的教师,太多的笑料反而会被认为“不严肃”,“不尊重”,而引起反感。
用英语演讲,不要用太多 i feel, i think,老是用i,显得十分主观,狭隘。如果通篇全是 i feel, i think 的内容,会给人觉得缺乏说服力。另外,perhaps, maybe 这样的词语,虽然有“客气,谦虚”的成分,但太多会让人觉得你演讲的内容有不可靠之处。
还有,在演讲中,要少用you,多用we。用you等于把自己与听众对立起来,而用we则拉近了与听众的距离。比如:you should not smoke.听上去像教训人,而 lets not smoke听起来是一个不错的建议。
3.英语演讲稿的语言特征
(1)多用实词,多用短句,少用结构复杂的长句
在英语演讲中,and, but, so, then 等虚词要尽量少用,that, which 等词引导的定语从句也只会使句子结构变得复杂,而使听众难以跟上演讲者的思路,从而影响演讲的效果。相反,多使用实词,短句,可使得演讲内容更清晰,气势更磅礴。
(2)演讲要注意使用各种修辞手法,增加演讲的感染力和气势。英语演讲中常用的修辞手法有:渐进(climax)、对照(antithesis)、排比(parallelism)、警句(epigram)等等,例如:
that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.(排比)
这个民有、民治、民享的国家将不会从地球上消失。
united, there is little we can not do; divided, there is little we can do.(对照)
团结,我们便将无所不能;分裂,我们则会一事无成。
let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.(对照和渐进)
让世界各国都知道,无论对我们怀有好感与敌意,我们将付出任何代价,肩负任何重任,面对任何艰辛,支持任何朋友,反对任何敌人,以确保自由的生存与成功。
what we should fear most is the fear itself.(警句)
我们最应恐惧的是恐惧本身。
ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.(对照)
不要问你们的国家能为你们做些什么,而要问你们能为你们的国家做些什么。
设想一下,假如在我们的演讲中能融入上述这样运用得当的修辞手段,那我们的演讲将会变得多么有力与动人。
英语演讲稿范例
farewell, indifference
who was the most well-known figure in china last month? it’s ma jiajue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates. many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education. in my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference.
indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society. it’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other. it’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all. it’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.
some people may say ‘what the students with psychological problems like ma jiajue need is not care but psychotherapy.” however, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them. every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.
i once heard one of my roommates who was an introverted girl sobbing at mid-night. being afraid of disturbing her, i sent a text message to comfort her. the next day, she told me that she was crying for not being invited to one of her friend’s birthday party. she thought she was neglected by others. but my message was really comforting which told her someone still cared about her.
what can we do to prevent the tragedy of ma jiajue from happening again? some people may say ‘let’s open more psychological courses in schools.’ and other people may say ‘let’s donate more money for the poor students.’ but i’ll say “my fellow student, let’s give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!”
走出冷漠
谁是中国上个月最有名的人物? 这当然要数马加爵了——这个杀害了四名同学的大学生。很多人将他的犯罪归结于他的贫穷和不全面的教育。但我觉得他的犯罪还跟他周围同学的冷漠有很大关系。
冷漠是流行于当今校园及整个社会中的一种可怕的疾病。有的同学在一起学习了4年却从未说过话,有的同学几天没去上课却无人知晓,还有的同学有了严重的心理问题却得不到关心。
有人说:像马加爵那样有心理问题的人需要的不是关心而是心理治疗。但在一个人生病的时候,除了医生的治疗,他需要的还有周围人的关心。一个微笑,一声问候都能为他们的生活带来阳光。
有一天半夜,我碰巧听见寝室里一个平时很内向的女孩在轻声抽泣。为了不惊动她,我给她发了一条短信来安慰她。第二天,他告诉我那晚她哭了是因为她的一位好朋友开生日聚会没有请她参加,她觉得自己被大家所忽视了。但我对短信却给了她很大安慰,让她觉得还是有人惦记着她的。
如何才能阻止马加爵的悲剧重演呢?有人呼吁应该在学校开设更多的心理辅导课程,有人建议应该给贫困学生更多的捐助,而我要说的是:同学们,让我们把更多的关爱带给我们的舍友,同学和身边的每一个人!
