第一篇：奥巴马演讲技巧Obama

Today I would like to talk something about the tactics in Obama’s speech.It is universally acknowledged that Obama is a inborn speechmaker with great personal enchantment.There are numerous features included in his speech, and I’d like to explore some of the most evident here.To be the first, Obama’s speech is full of figure-popping words and sentences.People who get together to listen to his speech feel like have a conversation man to man, which make most of the people feel what he feel, think what he think.What impressed me most is following sentence: Anyone can share my passion, and achieved his success.What’s more, Obama is good at using gesture to state matters, to express attitude, to touch audience.And then, there’s no denying that multifarious rhetorics are widely used in his speech.I would like to explain three of then.first, parallelism.Le’s look at the example:...a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed her by on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe...this sentence is from our text book page 201.And second kind of rhetoric is antithesis.We could understand this technique through following sentence:...fierce intelligence and the shocking ignorance, the struggles and successes, the love and yes, the bitterness and biases that make up the black experience in America...Third, oxymoron is also used frequently:...we may have different stories, but we hold common hopes;that we may not look the same and we may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction...In addition, Obama love telling stories.At the end of our text, the speech is brought to the end by the example of Ashley’s story with the theme re-emphasized that only by working together can the American people make a more perfect union, which combine the fact with political issues.Finally, the language of his speech is popular but not plain.We could look at this sentence: This union may never be perfect, but generation after generation has shown that it can always be perfected.It means that people are perfecting the United States generation by generation even though she can not be perfect.In short, Obama’s speech is full of tactic, from which we could learn a lot and benefit our reading comprehension and writing.That’s all, thank you!

第二篇：Obama奥巴马上海演讲

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon.It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good.(Laughter.)奥巴马上海演讲英文 一

What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman.And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country.Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past.Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall.Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China.It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.However, America's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence.奥巴马上海演讲英文 二

In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China.This is a common American impulse--the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.As one American player described his visit to China--“[The]people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different.” Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979.And in three decades, just look at how far we have come.奥巴马上海演讲英文 三

In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear;and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry.This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union.Today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe.All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when I meet with President Hu.And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.The second highest number of foreign students in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students.There are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.奥巴马上海演讲英文 四

There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past, and you shall know the future.” Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure.We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding--on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another.For just as that American table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.I believe that each country must chart its own course.China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture.The United States, by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy.Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles--that all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights;that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes;that commerce should be open, information freely accessible;and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters.In many ways--over many years--we have struggled to advance the promise of these principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union.We fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of our population from slavery.It took time for women to be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embraced.Even after they were freed, African Americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equal rights.None of this was easy.But we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms.That is why Lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” could long endure.That is why Dr.Martin Luther King could stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed.That's why immigrants from China to Kenya could find a home on our shores;why opportunity is available to all who would work for it;and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of America, is now able to serve as its President.奥巴马上海演讲英文 五

And that is why America will always speak out for these core principles around the world.We do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation.These freedoms of expression and worship--of access to information and political participation--we believe are universal rights.They should be available to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities--whether they are in the United States, China, or any nation.Indeed, it is that respect for universal rights that guides America's openness to other countries;our respect for different cultures;our commitment to international law;and our faith in the future.These are all things that you should know about America.I also know that we have much to learn about China.Looking around at this magnificent city--and looking around this room--I do believe that our nations hold something important in common, and that is a belief in the future.Neither the United States nor China is content to rest on our achievements.For while China is an ancient nation, you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commitment to see that tomorrow's generation can do better than today's.In addition to your growing economy, we admire China's extraordinary commitment to science and research--a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.China is now the world's largest Internet user--which is why we were so pleased to include the Internet as a part of today's event.This country now has the world's largest mobile phone network, and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change--and I'm looking forward to deepening the partnership between the United States and China in this critical area tomorrow.But above all, I see China's future in you--young people whose talent and dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.I've said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected.The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek--all of these things are shared.And given that interconnection, power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-sum game;one country's success need not come at the expense of another.And that is why the United States insists we do not seek to contain China's rise.On the contrary, we welcome China as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations--a China that draws on the rights, strengths, and creativity of individual Chinese like you.奥巴马上海演讲英文 六

To return to the proverb--consider the past.We know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide.That is a lesson that human beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of the history between our nations.And I believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government.It must be rooted in our people--in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in the sports that we play.And these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in America.That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in China to 100,000.And these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century.And I'm absolutely confident that America has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people.For they, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world.And if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue, I hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.So thank you very much.And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you.Thank you very much.

第三篇：Obama奥巴马感恩节演讲中英对照

Good morning.Nearly 150 years ago, in one of the darkest years of our nation's history, President Abraham Lincoln set aside the last Thursday in November as a day of Thanksgiving.America was split by Civil War.But Lincoln said in his first Thanksgiving decree（颁布命令）that difficult times made it even more appropriate for our blessings to be(and I quote), “gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people.”

This week, the American people came together with families and friends to carry on this distinctly American tradition.We gave thanks for loved ones and for our lasting pride in our communities and our country.We took comfort in good memories while looking forward to the promise of change.But this Thanksgiving also takes place at a time of great trial for our people.Across the country, there were empty seats at the table, as brave Americans continue to serve in harm’s way from the mountains of Afghanistan to the deserts of Iraq.We honor and give thanks for their sacrifice, and stand by the families who endure their absence with such dignity and resolve.At home, we face an economic crisis of historic proportions.More and more Americans are worried about losing a job or making their mortgage payment.Workers are wondering if next month's paycheck will pay next month's bills.Retirees are watching their savings disappear, and students are struggling with the cost of tuition.It's going to take bold and immediate action to confront this crisis.That's why I'm committed to forging a new beginning from the moment I take office as President of the United States.Earlier this week, I announced my economic team.This talented and dedicated group is already hard at work crafting an Economic Recovery Plan that will create or save 2.5 million new jobs, while making the investments we need to fuel long-term economic growth and stability.But this Thanksgiving, we're reminded that the renewal of our economy won't come from policies and plans alone.It will take the hard work, innovation, service, and strength of the American people.I've seen this strength firsthand over many months--in workers who are ready to power new industries, and farmers and scientists who can tap new sources of energy;in teachers who stay late after school, and parents who put in that extra hour reading to their kids;in young Americans enlisting in a time of war, seniors who volunteer their time, and service programs that bring hope to the hopeless.It's a testament to our national character that so many Americans took time out this Thanksgiving to help feed the hungry and care for the needy.On Wednesday, I visited a food bank at Saint Columbanus Parish in Chicago.And there, as in so many communities across America, folks pitched in time and resources to give a lift to their neighbors in need.It is this spirit that binds us together as one American family--the belief that we rise and fall as one people;that we want that American Dream not just for ourselves, but for each other.That's the spirit we must summon（召唤）as we make a new beginning for our nation.Times are tough.There are difficult months ahead.But we can renew our nation the same way that we have in the many years since Lincoln's first Thanksgiving: by coming together to overcome adversity;by reaching for--and working for--new horizons of opportunity for all Americans.So this weekend, with one heart, and one voice, the American people can give thanks that a new and brighter day is yet to come.

Remarks by President Obama at the Opening Plenary Session of the

Nuclear Security Summit Washington Convention Center

Washington, D.C.April 13, 2010 总统在核安全峰会全体会议开幕式上的讲话 华盛顿哥伦比亚特区 华盛顿会议中心

2010年4月13日

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, everybody.I'd like to get started.Let me begin by thanking all of you for your participation last night.I thought it was a very important discussion.总统：各位早上好。现在会议开始。首先感谢诸位参加昨晚的活动，我认为我们进行了非常重要的讨论。

Before I begin, I want to take this moment once again to acknowledge the terrible tragedy that struck the Polish people this weekend.We are joined today by a distinguished delegation from Poland, led by Ambassador Kupiecki.Mr.Ambassador, all of us were shocked and deeply saddened by the devastating loss of President Kaczynski, the First Lady, and so many distinguished civilian and military leaders from your country.This was a loss, not just for Poland, but for the world.在进入会议程序之前，我想利用这一时刻再次就上个周末发生的悲惨事件向波兰人民表示慰问。今天，由库比埃基（Kupiecki）大使率领的尊贵的波兰代表团在此参加会议。大使先生，我们大家都为痛失卡钦斯基（Kaczynski）总统、第一夫人和贵国如此众多的军政领导人而深感震惊和哀伤。这不仅是波兰的损失，也是世界的损失。

As a close friend and ally, the United States stands with Poland and Poles everywhere in these very difficult days.As an international community, I know that we will all rally around the Polish people, who have shown extraordinary strength and resilience throughout their history.So our hearts go out to your people.Our thoughts and prayers are with them.We join them in this time of mourning.And so, if everybody is agreeable, I would like to ask for a moment of silence to show that solidarity and to honor those who were lost.在这些困难的日子里，美国作为亲密的盟友与波兰和全世界的波兰人站在一起。作为国际大家庭，我知道我们大家都会团结在波兰人民的周围，波兰人民在其整个历史中始终显示出非凡的力量和坚毅的精神。我们对贵国人民深表同情。我们与他们一道思念和祈祷。我们在这一时刻与他们共同哀悼。为此，如果大家同意，我提议大家默哀片刻，以表示我们心心相连，并向遇难者表示敬意。(Pause for moment of silence.)（默哀）

Thank you.It is my privilege to welcome you to Washington and to formally convene this historic summit.We represent 47 nations from every region of the world, and I thank each of you for being here.This is an unprecedented gathering to address an unprecedented threat.谢谢。能够在此欢迎你们来到华盛顿，正式举行这个历史性峰会，我深感荣幸。我们代表了来自全世界各地区的47个国家，我感谢你们每一个人的光临。这是一次为应对前所未有的威胁而举行的史无前例的会议。

Two decades after the end of the Cold War, we face a cruel irony of history--the risk of a nuclear confrontation between nations has gone down, but the risk of nuclear attack has gone up.在冷战结束20年后，我们面对历史的无情讽刺——国家之间发生核对抗的风险下降了，但核攻击的危险却上升了。

Nuclear materials that could be sold or stolen and fashioned into a nuclear weapon exist in dozens of nations.Just the smallest amount of plutonium--about the size of an apple--could kill and injure hundreds of thousands of innocent people.Terrorist networks such as al Qaeda have tried to acquire the material for a nuclear weapon, and if they ever succeeded, they would surely use it.Were they to do so, it would be a catastrophe for the world--causing extraordinary loss of life, and striking a major blow to global peace and stability.可能被出售、盗窃和制成核武器的核材料存在于数十个国家。哪怕是最少量的钚——苹果般大小的钚——都有可能造成数十万无辜者的伤亡。“基地”组织之类的恐怖网络企图获取制造核武器的材料，他们一旦得逞，毫无疑问会使用这种武器。如果他们这么做，将给世界带来巨大的灾难，造成生命的巨大损失，使世界和平与稳定遭受重大的打击。

In short, it is increasingly clear that the danger of nuclear terrorism is one of the greatest threats to global security--to our collective security.简言之，人们越来越清楚地看到，核恐怖主义危险构成对全球安全，对我们的共同安全最重大的威胁之一。

And that's why, one year ago today in--one year ago in Prague, I called for a new international effort to secure all vulnerable nuclear materials around the world in four years.This is one part of a broader, comprehensive agenda that the United States is pursuing--including reducing our nuclear arsenal and stopping the spread of nuclear weapons--an agenda that will bring us closer to our ultimate goal of a world without nuclear weapons.正是因为这个原因，一年前的今天——一年前我在布拉格呼吁国际社会作出新的努力，用四年时间确保世界各地所有易散失的核材料得到安全保障。这是美国正在寻求的、包括削减我们的核库存和制止核扩散在内的、更广泛更全面的议程的一个组成部分。该议程将使我们更接近一个没有核武器的世界这一最终目标。Over the past year, we've made progress.At the United Nations Security Council last fall, we unanimously passed Resolution 1887 endorsing this comprehensive agenda, including the goal of securing all nuclear materials.Last night, in closed session, I believe we made further progress, pursuing a shared understanding of the grave threat to our people.在过去一年中，我们已经取得了进展。去年秋季，在联合国安理会的会议上，我们一致通过了第1887号决议，支持此一综合性议程，包括保障全部核材料安全的目标。我认为，在昨晚的非公开会议中，我们努力尝试就各国人民面临的这一严重威胁达成共识，取得了进一步的进展。

gathering Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C.April 13, 2010 美国总统奥巴马发表核峰会闭幕词

华盛顿会议中心

华盛顿哥伦比亚特区 2010年4月13日

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody.We have just concluded an enormously productive day.总统：大家好。我们刚刚结束了成就斐然的一天。

I said this morning that today would be an opportunity for our nations, both individually and collectively, to make concrete commitments and take tangible steps to secure nuclear materials so they never fall into the hands of terrorists who would surely use them.我在上午说过，今天我们各国面临一个机会，可以分别和共同作出具体承诺和采取明确措施，确保核材料的安全，防止核材料落入那些无疑会利用它们的恐怖主义分子手中。

This evening, I can report that we have seized this opportunity, and because of the steps we’ve taken--as individual nations and as an international community--the American people will be safer and the world will be more secure.今晚，我可以这么说，我们成功地把握了这一机遇，作为具体的国家和国际社会，我们已经采取了措施，美国人民将因此更安全，世界将更稳定。

I want to thank all who participated in this historic summit--49 leaders from every region of the world.Today’s progress was possible because these leaders came not simply to talk, but to take action;not simply to make vague pledges of future action, but to commit to meaningful steps that they are prepared to implement right now.我谨在此感谢出席这一具有历史意义的峰会的全体代表，来自世界各地区的49位领导人。今天之所以能取得进展，是因为这些领导人不仅与会发言，而且采取行动；不是含糊地承诺在未来采取行动，而是承诺他们准备立即实施的有意义的步骤。

I also want to thank my colleagues for the candor and cooperative spirit that they brought to the discussions.This was not a day of long speeches or lectures on what other nations must do.We listened to each other, with mutual respect.We recognized that while different countries face different challenges, we have a mutual interest in securing these dangerous materials.我还要感谢各位同仁在讨论中所表现的坦率与合作精神。今天并无冗长的讲话，亦无要求别国如何是从的训诫。我们互相倾听、互相尊重。我们认识到，虽然不同国家面临不同的挑战，但我们有着共同的利益，即确保这些危险核材料的安全。So today is a testament to what is possible when nations come together in a spirit of partnership to embrace our shared responsibility and confront a shared challenge.This is how we will solve problems and advance the security of our people in the 21st century.And this is reflected in the communiqué that we have unanimously agreed to today.因此，当许多国家本着合作精神走到一起承担我们共同的职责和应对共同的挑战时，就能大有作为，今天这一点得到了验证。这将是我们在21世纪解决问题和增进人民安全的途径。这也体现在今天我们一致通过的公报之中。

First, we agreed on the urgency and seriousness of the threat.Coming into this summit, there were a range of views on this danger.But at our dinner last night, and throughout the day, we developed a shared understanding of the risk.首先，我们就这一威胁的紧迫性和严峻性达成了共识。在参加本届峰会之际，人们对这一威胁众说纷纭。然而，经过昨天晚餐席间乃至今天全天的讨论，我们对这一威胁达成了共同的理解。

Today, we are declaring that nuclear terrorism is one of the most challenging threats to international security.We also agreed that the most effective way to prevent terrorists and criminals from acquiring nuclear materials is through strong nuclear security--protecting nuclear materials and preventing nuclear smuggling.今天，我们宣布核恐怖主义是国际安全所面临的最具挑战性的威胁之一。我们还一致认为，防止恐怖主义分子和罪犯获得核材料的最有效方法就是加强核安全——保护核材料和防止核贩运。

Second, I am very pleased that all the nations represented here have endorsed the goal that I outlined in Prague one year ago--to secure all vulnerable nuclear materials around the world in four years' time.This is an ambitious goal, and we are under no illusions that it will be easy.But the urgency of the threat, and the catastrophic consequences of even a single act of nuclear terrorism, demand an effort that is at once bold and pragmatic.And this is a goal that can be achieved.第二，我非常欣慰的是，所有与会国对我一年前在布拉格所阐述的目标予以支持，即在四年时间内确保世界所有易失散核材料的安全。这是一项宏伟目标，我们非常清楚达到这项目标并非易事。然而，由于该威胁的紧迫性，还由于哪怕一次核恐怖主义攻击即可导致巨大灾难，我们需要作出既大胆又务实的努力。这是一个能够实现的目标。

Third, we reaffirmed that it is the fundamental responsibility of nations, consistent with their international obligations, to maintain effective security of the nuclear materials and facilities under our control.This includes strengthening national laws and policies, and fully implementing the commitments we have agreed to.第三，我们重申，根据各国的国际义务，各国承担着基本的责任，必须以有效的方式保障我们控制之下的核材料及核设施的安全。这包括加强国家法律和政策，全面履行我们一致同意的承诺。

And fourth, we recognized that even as we fulfill our national responsibilities, this threat cannot be addressed by countries working in isolation.So we've committed ourselves to a sustained, effective program of international cooperation on national [sic] security, and we call on other nations to join us.第四，我们认识到，即使在我们履行各自的国家职责时，也需要各国通力合作才能消除这一威胁。因此，我们已承诺致力于持久而有效的计划，就国家安全进行国际合作，我们呼吁其他国家与我们携手努力。

It became clear in our discussions that we do not need lots of new institutions and layers of bureaucracy.We need to strengthen the institutions and partnerships that we already have-— and make them even more effective.This includes the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the multilateral partnership that strengthens nuclear security, prevent nuclear trafficking and assist nations in building their capacity to secure their nuclear materials.我们的讨论得出的一项明确结论是，我们并不需要太多的新机制和重叠的机构。我们需要加强现有机制与合作关系，使它们更有效。这包括联合国、国际原子能机构、以及加强核安全、防止核贩运、协助各国建设核材料安全保障能力的多边伙伴关系。

第五篇：奥巴马演讲六技巧

奥巴马演讲六技巧

美国给这代人选出了一位最厉害的政治演说家。

可能觉得从巴拉克〃奥巴马的演讲技巧中，你没什么可以学的。你要面对是职员、管理团队和潜在客户；而奥巴马在芝加哥的格兰特公园，向20万人发表演说。根本就是不搭调嘛！下面根据奥巴马在格兰特

公园发表的提名演讲，说6个演讲技巧，你可以学学。

1、了解观众

在格兰特公园，对着20万观众演讲，奥巴马很容易踩到地雷。他没有。他对着在家里起居室里的美国人讲话；他对着投票给麦凯恩的人讲话；他对着全世界关注他的人讲话，从各国政要到穷国中最穷的人。他知道观众是谁。

“告诉那些远隔千山万水的人们；告诉各国议会和各国王室；告诉那些被世界遗忘的角落里、挤在一起收听广播的人们，我们的故事千差万别，但我们的命运休戚与共，美国领导的新时代即将到来。”

2、在故事中，涵盖观点

美国历史上，长期争取民权的运动，使奥巴马参选成为可能。奥巴马用安妮〃迪克森〃库珀的故事，表达了这个观点。库珀是一位106岁高龄的女性，她的父母是奴隶；她经历了民权运动的几个重要里程碑。

“她出生时，上一代刚刚结束奴隶制；当时，路上没有车子，天空没有飞机；象她一样的那些人，因为两个原因不能投票：因为她是女人，因为她皮肤的颜色。”

这样感染力强多了，效果比干巴巴的历史课棒多了。

3、在观众的脑海中描绘图案

奥巴马用特定、具体的词汇给我们留下了深刻的印象。举几个例子：

“我们的事业不是华盛顿高墙下的蛋。它的起源在得梅因的后院，在康科德的起居室，在查尔斯顿的前廊。”（得梅因、康科德、查尔斯顿均为美国城镇。——译者注。）

“即使今晚，我们站在这里；我们也知道，那些勇敢的美国人行进在伊拉克的戈壁滩上，行进在阿富汗的崇山峻岭中。用他们的生命，为我们冒险。”

“总而言之，我请你加入重建国家的行列，过去221年，在美国，这是唯一路——用一双双布满老茧的双手，一砖一瓦地努力，一个街区一个街区地努力。”

4、有人情味

巴拉克〃奥巴马告诉全世界，他将给两个女儿弄一只小狗，并且带到白宫里。全世界人都喜欢这个。在首次新闻发布会上，他说，这是他网站上最热门的话题。

5、娓娓道来，举重若轻

奥巴马说话并不快。他等着观众明白，以及互动。这让他的话有分量。你也可以这样。

6、明暗色彩

奥巴马的竞选演说有不同的感情色彩：欢快——幽默——严肃——亲密——坚定。如此变化牢牢吸引着人——当你上台时，也表现自己的明暗色彩。
