Speaking in public is said to be one of mankind's greatest fear. Commonly known as glossophobia, our fear of public speaking can occur in any environment and can impact us all. I have compiled a list of the best tips to help you overcome your fear.
在公眾面前演講可說是人類最大的恐懼之一。一般被稱為「公眾場合發言恐懼症」，我們對公開演說的恐懼可能在任何環境發生，且可能對我們所有人產生影響。我彙整出一張協助你克服恐懼的最佳辦法清單。
One: Time perfect. Make sure that the speech delivered is appropriately timed. The concept is simple—don't overuse or underuse the allocated time.
一：精準時間掌控。確保演講經過恰當地時間安排。概念很簡單－－不要過度使用，或未充分利用配給的時間。
Two: Start strong. The first 10 seconds of the speech will be how the audiece judges you. Start with a fact and something that make them laugh. This makes you relatable and genuine.
二：強而有力地開場。演講的頭十秒將決定聽眾如何評斷你。用一個事實或使聽眾發笑的一件事來起頭。這將使你顯得沒有距離感和真誠。
Three: Practice and practice. Make sure you know the concept and core themes of your speech before you deliver it. A good public speaker is someone who is good at practicing.
三：反覆練習。在你演講前，確保你瞭解你的演講概念和核心主題。一位優秀的公開演說家是一個善於練習的人。
Four: Eye contact. The audience love to feel empowered and engaged with the speaker. Giving them eye contact achieve just that. Make sure to spread the eye contact amongst the audience to draw them in.
四：眼神接觸。聽眾喜歡感到被受到重視以及和講者交流。提供他們眼神接觸正好達成目的。確保將眼神接觸散布到觀眾間以吸引他們。
Five: Body language. Positive body language can enhance your presentation in ways words can't. Body language accounts for over 50 percent of your communication, so use it effectively.
五：肢體語言。 自信積極的肢體語言能以言語無法做到的方式將你的演出變得更好。肢體語言在你的溝通中占超過百分之五十的部分，所以有效地運用它吧。
Six: Gestures. A good public speaker uses their natural gesture vocabulary as well as their words. This means to use your hands to gesture what's to present.
六：手勢。一位優秀的公開演說家運用他們自然的手勢詞彙以及言語。這代表用你的手來示意要呈現的東西。
Seven: Organize your speech logically. Just like a good story, a good speech also has logic and structure. A simple three-part concept—introduction, middle, and conclusion, with the split of 20, 60, 20—is the norm.
七：有邏輯地架構你的演講。就像一則好的故事，一場好的演說也含有邏輯性及架構。一個簡單的三段概念(開頭、主體、結論，以20、60、20 的比例分配)才是標準。
Eight: Connect with the audience. Public speaking is about engaging with the audience and making it interesting for them to learn and understand. This can be accomplished through storytelling and advice.
八：與聽眾連結。演說是關於和聽眾交流，並讓主題變得有趣，讓他們去學習和瞭解。這可以透過說故事和建議來達成。
So that's it, guys!
就是這樣囉，大夥們!
