来源：21英语网 作者：stephen lucas（《为成功而演讲》） 日期: 2010-09-19 到目前为止我们讨论了适用于各种公众演讲的普遍原则。现在我们来看即兴演讲，也被

称作临场的、即席的或是无准备的演讲。在“21世纪杯”比赛中，选手们完成已备演讲之后

作即兴演讲。下面是往届比赛中出现过的一些即兴演讲题目： 如果你可以生活在另外一个不同时间和地点，你将如何选择？对你来说哪种知识更为重

要：书本上学来的还是从个人经历取得的？ 你认为中国人世将会对这个国家有何主要影响？ 大学生能否结婚？

如果你是人大代表，你对政府有何建议？ 你会发现，即兴演讲题目的话题涉及面很广，包含从个人到政治，从校园热点到时事等

各个方面。在“21世纪杯”演讲比赛的各个环节中，即兴演讲最具挑战性。它考验你独立思

考、迅速、透彻地分析问题以及在毫无准备的前提下用英语进行有效交流的能力。因为所有

选手都有充足的时间准备已备演讲，所以在这部分比赛中他们通常表现出色。但是到了即兴

演讲部分很多人就变得言语结巴了。因此你若想取得前几名的成绩，就必须在即兴演讲中取

得高分。

即兴演讲对于使用母语演讲的学生来说都是件难事，对于使用第二语言演讲的学生来说

就更是费力了。然而，它为你以后走出校门步人社会提供了极好的锻炼机会，因为到那时很

多情况下都需要你立即清楚、有力地表达出自己的观点。 无论你在哪里演讲，成功的即兴演讲最重要的因素都是缜密的思维和有条理的组织。在

比赛中，你有三分钟时间发表即兴演讲。首先确定你要阐述的两至三个主要观点，然后简明、

清楚地加以讨论。必要时使用实例、数据或证词来支持你的观点。因为很多即兴演讲题目都

是在问你个人的观点，你可以在演讲中充分利用自己的经历。。最重要的是，一定要避免漫谈

和重复。阐明一个观点之后就接下去谈下一个。你可用“第一”、“第二”、“第三”这样的路

标来明确每一个新观点的出现，以方便观众理解。当你的演讲接近尾声时，要用简练的话语

作结，并为观众的关注表示感谢。 当你发表即兴演讲时，无论内心多么紧张也要表现得冷静、镇定。回顾前面谈怯场时我

们曾提到：尽管你内心紧张得发抖，观众看到的只是你的外显行为。如果你在演讲中发错音

或忘记了思路，不要恐慌，即使你犯一个小错误，观众很有可能无所察觉，你只需像什么都

没发生过一样继续你的演讲。如果有一个较大的失误，你只需大胆地说：“对不起，我的本意

是说??”等等诸如此类的话，之后继续你的演讲。马丁·路德·金发表《我有一个梦想》这

一演说的时候也有过三次失误，但他并未理会这些过失，而观众始终关注的也只是他所要表

达的思想内容。 像已备演讲一样，在即兴演讲部分你也要练习与观众保持眼神交流，避免有声停顿。你

打磕巴、思索恰当词语的次数越少，那么你看起来就越加完美、自信。如果你能够有一个让

观众听起来清楚、稳重的语速，在演讲的过程中始终保持沉着、冷静，那么你将有更大的机

会赢得评委们的好感。

尽管比赛前你不可能知道即兴演讲的题目，但这并不意味着不到上场前你就无从准备。

当你准备好参赛，就可以请指导教师给出一些例题，你来练习当场发表即兴演讲来作答。在

演练的过程中，尤其要注意我们前面提出的所有建议。练习的初期阶段录下自己演讲的声音，

以检查自己语言的逻辑性、清晰性、连贯性以及发音的准确性。在练习的后期，你可用摄像

机录下自己的表现，确保自己看起来自信，始终保持眼神交流，避免分散注意力的手势或习

惯动作。

下面我们给出一段非常好的即兴演讲的例子，是2002年比赛的冠军选手孙宁当时所作的

演讲。他即兴演讲的题目是“假如你是中国第一名登月的宇航员，你可以在月球上留下三件

物品，那么你会留下哪三件？” 谢谢!如果我是中国第一位登上月球的宇航员，我会带下列三件物品：首先，我要带一个

玩具，更确切地说是一个小型的玩具熊猫。熊猫是我们中国的国宝。众所周知，我们中国的

自然环境、生态环境以及自然气候是得天独厚的。大家也都知道四川是熊猫最佳的天然栖息

地。当你看到熊猫那滑稽的外表，憨态可掬的举止，你会发现它有着温和的习性。它同其他

物种相处和谐，和大自然和平共处，这些都是我们需要向大熊猫学习的。 其次，我会带一件手工艺品，那就是传统的中国绘画。我小的时候学过几年传统中国绘

画，所以我希望这幅画是我画的。在我学画画的时候，我就知道留意画中蕴含的东西更为重

要。在典型的中国绘画中你也可以看到一首诗——通常是用隽秀的中国书法书写而成，此外

上面还会有一个印章。中国绘画通常是临摹秀丽的中国风景。 最后，我想带一张世界地图。也许你们中间有些人会感到很惊讶，为什么不是中国地图

呢？从各方面而言，我知道自己是一个中国人，然而我也意识到了在这个世界联系日益密切

的时代，我们还是世界的公民。我不能把我的视线仅仅局限在中国国界中，我要把目光放远，

我也应该清楚我们国界以外的海洋和陆地也是广阔的。走出国门去了解它们对于我们来说是

很重要的。我的讲话完了，谢谢! 上面一字不差就是孙宁当时演讲的原稿，你可能发现到他在措辞中犯了一些小错误，但

整篇演讲内容清晰、思维连贯、组织有序，以至于没有人会注意到那些细小的错误。读这篇

稿子的时候，请注意孙宁是如何一开始便明确他要带上月球的三件物品。之后，演讲的过程

中，他又这样引出所选的三件物品： 首先，我要带一个玩具，更确切地说是一个小型的玩

具熊猫。

其次，我会带一件手工艺品，那就是传统的中国绘画。 最后，我想带一张世界地图。 这样的结构组织简明、清晰。孙宁将三个主要观点阐述得清楚、简洁，在三个观点上分

配了几乎平等的注意力。在整个演讲的过程中，他从没有徘徊不前或偏离主题。他给人的印

象是一个很好地控制自己思维的自信的演讲者。的确，即使这篇演讲由一位母语为英语演讲

者创造，也称得上是非常出色的。 当然，针对不同的题目要有不同的回答。但任何一位演讲者针对任何主题发表即兴演讲，

其成功的基本要素都是一样的。如果你能牢记我们所讨论的成功要素进行练习，你将有更大

的机会在即兴演讲中取得成功。 从辩论题目和作文题目看即兴演讲的解题范围

and to training students to be productive workers. 教育应该平衡的一方面丰富学生的个人生活，一方面把学生培养成训练有素的工作者。

in my view, preparing students for the mundane aspects of work should be secondary

to providing a broader education that equips students with historical and cultural

perspective, as well as thoughtful and principled personal value systems and

priorities.

1.one reason why educators should emphasize personal enrichment over job

preparation is that rote technical knowledge and skill do not help a student determine

which goals in life are worthwhile and whether the means of attaining those goals

are ethically or morally acceptable.

2.another reason why educators should emphasize personal enrichment over job preparation is that specific knowledge and skills

needed for jobs are changing more and more quickly.

3.a third reason why educators should emphasize personally enriching course work

—particularly anthropology, sociology, history, and political philosophy—is that

these courses help students understand, appreciate and respect other people and their

viewpoints.
