1.Do Not Stay Hidden Before You Speak

　　不要躲藏

　　Unless you are Bono, Oprah, or the President, you have no reason to hide before you speak and every reason to mingle, letting people know that you are interesting and personable BEORE you take the stage. Aim to connect with individuals and build a following before you address your audience as a whole.

　　除非你是Bono ,Oprah 或者是總統，在社交場合你都沒理由在你說話之前就藏起來，抓住機會站到臺上讓人們都知道你是個有趣的人。在你把一大群人變成你的聽眾之前，應當多與人交流。

　　2.Do Not Write a Boring Intro and Have a Boring Person Read It

　　不要做過多的自我介紹

　　Your audience already has some idea of who you are, so skip the boring LinkedIn bio facts. When deciding what to include, ask yourself why your biomatters to this group of people. Keep it short and sweet, including only the most pertinent information of why they should care about who you are and what you have to say.

　　你的聽眾都知道你，因此直接縮短這段無聊的自我介紹環節。當你決定好了說什么，問問你自己為什么要對著這群人說。帶著感情挑重點說，說些和為什么他們應當知道你是誰、你必須要說的內容相關的。

　　3. Do Not Slowly Stroll Onto the Stage

　　不要再舞臺上閑晃

　　Unless you are really, REALLY famous, no one is getting a thrill out of viewing your entry. So, just get there. Fast. As humble as you may actually be, even appearing to take your time to get on stage can come off as self-important. And, if the applause after youve been introduced has dwindled or completely stopped before you get to center stage, you (and your entire audience) can practically taste the awkward in the room.

　　如果你不是特別的有名，沒人愿意看你在舞臺上自我陶醉。因此，請快些的走到舞臺上。盡可能的謙虛，甚至是用時間來表現出來。要是在你做完自我介紹后掌聲就開始小了，甚至當你走到舞臺中心就沒有了，那么你(和你的聽眾)就是在互相看不慣。

　　4. Do Not Start with Thank you very much. Its such a pleasure to be here.

　　不要以非常感謝，站在這里是我的榮幸開始

　　This was an entirely acceptable way to begin public speaking the first ten million times it was done. We are now past that mark and opening with this line is akin to saying: Thank you for hearing me say something that you are now not listening to at all. Starting with this line is the best way to make your audience members check their Twitter or Instagram accounts within the first 10 seconds of your speech.

　　這類說法完全是被人說過千萬遍的開場白。現在我們不必再用這些話，說點像：感謝你在這里聽我說些你可能不是很贊同的話。用這些話來做開場白，就是讓你的聽眾在你開始講話的10秒內就上網的最好方式。

　　5. Do Not Say, Good morning! Wait for a Response, and Then Say, Oh, Come On, You Can Do Better Than That!

　　不要說，早上好，然后在等著她們給些回應后，再說，哦，加油，你可以做得更好!

　　You are not your audiences mom. You are not at summer camp. (And if you are, your audience better be under the age of 12 for this line to work.) This phrase was effective exactly one time and that was in 1964 when Art Linkletter said it. Ever since then, its been annoying as heck.

　　你不是他們的母親。你也不是在夏令營。(如果是夏令營，那么這些話最好是說給還不到12歲的孩子聽。)這類話在當時以及1964年藝術聯系信中是會很有效，此后，那就變得跟真見鬼一樣的令人煩。

　　6. Do Not Show a Text-Heavy PowerPoint Image Right Off the Bat

　　不要使用太多的及時幻燈片

　　No one wants to both see AND hear your words. If you are wearing a mic and are on a stage, this is your cue to aim for more words heard than seen. Dont try to cram a bunch of text onto each slide; instead, choose simple, powerful visuals that complement your verbal message.

　　沒人愿意邊聽邊看。要是你在臺上沒使用小話筒，那么你潛意識里就是希望他們多看你講的內容。每張幻燈片上不要放太多內容，相反地，你應該選些容易理解的，另外好的視圖還會幫你補充你的說話內容。

　　7. Do Not Read Your Entire Speech From Your Notes, Verbatim

　　不要逐字逐句的讀你所要教授的內容

　　Public speaking is an art. You need to practice. Take video of yourself practicing, watch it, make note of your mistakes, and then practice some more. Imbed your message into your head and your speaking style into your body so that when you are on stage, you will be freed up to speak more from your heart than your head. Anyone can read a speech out louddont be anyone be someone worthy of the public speaking opportunity you have.

　　在公眾場合講話是門藝術，應當多加練習。邊練邊錄，觀看時記錄下自己做的不夠好的地方，再加以練習。在臺上時先打好腹稿，然后再按你自己的講話方式講出來。講話隨心比先想后講更輕松。每個人都可以大聲的讀演講不要成為那樣的那個人。要做那個能在公眾面前有機會演講好的那個人。
