  The King’s Speech ruled at the Academy Awards, winning Best Picture of the Year, and with Oscars awarded to Colin Firth (Best Leading Actor), David Seidler (Best Original Screenplay), and Tom Hooper (Best Director).
  So, how do you think this movie—with no violence, no sex scenes, no mysterious plot, and main characters who are middle-aged men—caught the hearts of millions? For one, the king’s fear of public speaking is highly relatable.
  When it comes to 1)oratory skills, even if you don’t have a 2)stammering problem, many of us find it challenging to make a speech. Whether it’s simply 3)stage fright or the occasional
  4)stutter, if you’re giving a presentation at work, chances are you’ll need to 5)brush up on some skills to become convincing and confident at the 6)podium.
  While you may not have skills as 7)eloquent as President Obama’s, there are four critical
  elements we must keep in mind in order to become an effective speaker:
  1. Dress the part. In front of an audience, you automatically put yourself and, more importantly, your image on display. All eyes will be on you. Ensure that you have covered the finer points—hair brushed, shoes cleaned, clothes ironed, nails cleaned and clipped. If your appearance is
  8)impeccable you will speak confidently and appear 9)authoritative.
  2. Own the topic. Be prepared to know the subject inside and out, backward and forward. Don’t forget to practice, practice, practice.
  3. Keep it simple. Ever listened to a speaker 10)drone on and on and completely miss their point? Don’t be that guy or 11)gal. Your message should be 12)concise and easy to summarize in one sentence. Focus on three or four main points and make sure they clearly tie back to your thesis.
  4. Consider every angle. Yes, this means to prepare yourself and, of course, your speech for
  potential holes before you present it. Know your audience and prepare your presentation based on that knowledge. If you have responses ready, you will be able to quickly and efficiently
  13)dismiss critiques, looking even more knowledgeable in the process. Look at challenges to your point of view as an opportunity to show how 14)flawless your argument really is.
  
  《国王的演讲》成了奥斯卡的大赢家,不仅赢得了年度最佳影片奖,奥斯卡奖还颁给了科林·费斯
  (最佳男演员奖),大卫·塞德勒(最佳原创剧本)和汤姆·霍伯尔(最佳导演奖)。
  那么,你认为这部电影——没有暴力画面,没有色情场景,没有神秘情节,而且主角们全都是中年男人——是如何抓住千万观众的心的呢?原因之一就是,国王对于公开演讲的恐惧让许多人感同身受。
  言及演讲的技巧,即便你不结巴,我们当中许多人也发现演讲相当具有挑战性。不论是怯场或是偶然的结巴,如果你要在工作中做口头报告,你很有可能需要重温一些技巧,让你在演讲台上变得更有说服力和更自信。
  也许你没有奥巴马总统那样的雄辩技巧,但我们必须将以下四个关键要素牢记心中,以便成为一名有辩才的演讲者。
  1. 衣着得体。面对听众时,你已自动地将你自己——或者更重要的是,将你的形象展示出来。所有的目光都会聚焦在你的身上。要确认你已经注意到所有的细节——头发梳整齐了,鞋擦干净了,衣服熨烫过了,指甲清洁干净且修剪整齐了。如果你的外表形象无可挑剔,你在演讲的时候会更自信,显得更具权威。
  2. 掌握话题。做好准备工作,把演讲的主题里里外外、前前后后地彻底了解清楚。谨记练习、练习、再练习。
  3. 保持简洁。你传达的信息应该简明扼要且很容易用一句话来概括。重点讲述三四个要点,且确保它们与你的论点明显地密切相关。
  4. 多角度思考。是的,这就意味着在演讲之前,为你自己——当然还有你的演讲所可能出现的纰漏做好准备。了解你的听众,在此基础上准备你的演讲。如果你已经准备好回应质疑,你就能够快速且有效地消除批评,甚至在这一过程中显得更有见地。将他人对你的观点的挑战看成是一种机遇,以展示你的论证实际上是多么地完美无缺。

在吕克·贝松的成名作《碧海蓝天》(Le Grand Bleu, 1988)中,男主角雅克这样描述海底:“你知道怎么样才能遇见美人鱼吗?当你游到海底,那里的水更蓝。在那里,蓝天变成了回忆,你就躺在了寂静里,呆在那里,决心为她们而死。只有这样,她们才会出现,她们来问候你,考验你的爱。如果你的爱够真诚,够纯洁,她们就会和你一起,然后把你永远地带走。”这是多么美的描绘啊!现实中,参加自由潜水的人有的是为了
