  • "A" okay

这个国际上都通用。你okay, 我okay, 大家都okay.
ex:  Good job in your presentation.

  • The "Thumb up"

有了个"thumb up" sign, 就会有" thumb down" sign, 一个是褒义，一个是贬义。竖起大拇指，就是夸你呗。同样的，国内外都通用啦。
Ex: Well done. You are the best.

  •  V sign

众所周知的，V  for "Victory", 很多人拍照时的招牌动作，名人似乎也都喜欢这个"V”造型，可能是因为"V" 有种不放弃，追逐胜利的渴望在里边吧。我们的成龙大哥也很喜欢做这个动作。
Ex: Oh, yeah!

  •  The finger

哦，这个有点不雅，放在这里全当充数。可，中指一伸，也很国际化。

  • Friendly punch

前面几个都是比较普及的，从这个开始，就不同了哦。美国的年轻人见面比较喜欢玩这手。让我想起中国的猜拳”哥俩好啊，六六六啊”。
Ex: What's up, dude? I haven't seen you for a while.

  • Confusion

双手一摊，也是老外一经典动作了。挠头，中国人用的比较多。
Ex: Do you know why Phelps wins 7 gold medals?   I don't know. Maybe because his previous life is a shark.

  • Quotation

我还记得老友记里有一出Joey怎么都不能在适当的语境里用对这个动作，哈哈，笑死人了。 没错，这个手势有两种意思。
1. 引用别人的话。
2. 有点讽刺意味，你说一套，做一套。

Ex: I'm on a diet, but I'm eating chocolate.

  •  Keep fingers Crossed

这是一句习语，把中指和食指交叉起来，代表一种美好的祝愿。
Ex: I hope Wenchuan's orphans will find a better home.

]]> http://www.caixiaoeva.com/2008/08/07/businesstrip1/feed/ 如何针对老外做Presentation http://www.caixiaoeva.com/2008/07/31/presentation/ http://www.caixiaoeva.com/2008/07/31/presentation/#comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:49:13 +0000 shawtsai http://www.caixiaoeva.com/2008/07/31/presentation/ 2516191983_af8a572f60
很奇怪的一点是， 现在国内的presentation都被叫成ppt, 可能是用windows的powerpoint用成了习惯。不管你用windows的powerpoint, 还是用mac的keynote, 首要的一点还是看你针对的对象是谁，如果是政府部门的领导，他们当然是希望你做的越漂亮，越花俏，能让人“Whooa...."是最好。可如果你面对的是老外，做的花俏的不见得就是好的。对于他们来说，什么都能一目了然最好，甚至你直接打出个数字，只要够震撼性，能起到你要的效果就好。做presentation，你要别人记住的是你讲话的内容，powerpoint or keynote slides里的文字只是你的一个纲要，不要让slides成为你的笔记，别人不是来听你读笔记的。下面就来谈谈我的经验。

  • Don’t Distract With Powerpoint or keynote   别让你的听众分心
    我记得我的老师曾经跟我说过，powerpoint or keynote slides 也许能impress你的听众，但是同样，他们关注了你的配色，你的背景图案，他们还会关注你的内容吗？所以有时候幻灯片反而是最好的选择。因为，它够简单。
  • Plan A and Plan B  后备方案
    也许当天你的办公楼突然断电了？（这个可能性很小），又或许你的电脑突然中毒瘫痪拉？你的USB接口出问题拉？计划永远没有变化快。我们做什么都要有两手准备.
  • Well-prepared   做好充分的准备（这个不用我说，大家都知道）
    做Presentation之前，最好把你要说的话都写下来，有些人也许不在意你的grammatical error, 可有些人很在意。不要对自己过分自信。
  • Coherence, the flow of your speech 
    演讲的时候要注意你讲话的节奏，不能过快或是过慢，有些人喜欢说的快一点以此来掩饰紧张。这个时候，你可以深呼吸一口气，好好组织一下语言，宁可停顿一刻，也不要讲的磕磕绊绊。通常，为了演讲的连贯性，我们会穿插几句：Let's move on to...,  Now we turn to..., 要注意这些句子的应用。

  • Eye contact 
    老外对这个很讲究，你如果不与你的听众进行眼神上的交流，那就是对他们的不尊敬。
  • Enthusiasm   热情
    如果听众觉得你对你自己的演讲都没有充分投入，他们会丧失他们的兴趣。如果你要别人来投资，来建设，首先，你就要热爱你脚下的这片土地，表现你前所未有的热情。
  • Free of vocal affectations  尽量少些"um", "like"
    尽量避免这些词。不要让人觉得你说话吞吞吐吐。
  • Rephrase questions   重新组织一遍别人的问题
    不是所有的听众都喜欢保持沉默，有些来访者喜欢参与进来，这是好事情。如果你不是演讲老手，就可以考虑这个方法看看。这样做的好处有二，一是把别人提出的问题用你的话复述出来，让在座的都听到。二是可以给自己充分的时间考虑如何漂亮的给出问题的答案。
  • Don't show your back to others
    把背部对准别人很不礼貌，所以准备充分的重要性也在这里体现出来。
  • Body language
    正确使用肢体语言，可以缩短你和在座听众的距离感，也使你的演讲更生动。用中国话来说，就是话到兴处，手舞足蹈。
  • Employ intonation effectively
    语调的使用也是很重要的，High notes和low notes之间的过渡要自然。尽量避免在陈述句最后使用升调。

很多人喜欢做事一蹴而就，我也是。还记得第一天步入大学的大门，我就想跳出来。每次看别人参加graduation ceremony, 我的心就跟着他们跑了。想像自己穿着学士袍子，走出Simon Fraser University的大门。但，学语言，不是一朝一夕的事情，我们不妨从身边的小事做起。小事，它充斥着我们的生活；小事，让我们每天都在思考。

  • 自己给自己制造环境
    如何做呢？答案是自虐。学语言最重要的是环境，当你没有一个良好的语言环境，你没有机会出国，你没有机会像章子怡小姐那样交个外国男朋友，你只能自己给自己创造环境。例如，把你的手机语言系统换成是英文的，把你的笔记本系统语言换成是英文的等等。也许最初一段时间你会不习惯，但久而久之，也就慢慢习惯英文充斥在你周围了。 我正打算申请安装卫星电视，我特别喜欢看HBO的节目。
  • 骚扰他人
    如果你的工作在外企，同老外交谈的机会就会增多，他们喜欢搞些picnic啊，party之类的。你不愁找不到国外朋友。但，如果你没有这个条件呢？怎么办？你可以做survey, 老外很接受调查研究，相信我，你如果到国外住过一段时间，绝对不可能没被人抓住survey过。当然，你可以拒绝。我没事的时候，也喜欢乐于助人，别人做问卷调查不易，帮帮人，何乐不为。何况，国外的很多问卷调查是有作用的，不象中国的商场里那是摆着好看的。相信我，不是所有人都会不耐烦。你可以就环境问题或者文化差异等他们感兴趣的话题访问他们。你可以随便到街上抓一个来问，又或者是google下本地外商人名，给人打电话。（如果你是随便街上找人问，你也别傻了吧唧的，别人帮助你，你对人说："I'll buy you a cup of coffee. It's my treat." 你高兴，别人也高兴。）
  • Email or chat room
    虽然说e-mail中的英语大多不正规，但学会如何写好e-mail, 还是很必要的。例如，很多国人喜欢在签名档上写Sincerely yours, 却不想想难道没别的可写了？Sincerely yours在我看来还是比较正规的。你和你好朋友之间用Cheers显得更亲切些。（注：cheers不是干杯的意思，本身cheers就没有干杯这个解释，它只是为了在祝酒中表达良好的祝愿）。尽量避免一个中文词对应一个英文词。英文写作中也很怕你重复使用一个词，造成你的语言贫瘠，乏味。Yahoo messenger里有很多国外聊天室，你可以针对自己喜欢的话题，选聊天室进去，顺便练习下自己的网络俚语。也许别人看不出你不是native English speaker哦。

  • Things to do
    外国人很喜欢GTD的生活模式，他们的生活作息喜欢写在calendar里。你把你每天要做的事，用英文来思考，用笔写下来。女孩子喜欢逛街shopping,  可以写shopping list. 遇节日，对别人送上祝福，写张greeting cards为他人送去暖意。日积月累，你会惊喜的发现你会用英文来思考问题拉。这就是你的另一种思维，英语思维。
  • Blog, forum or diary
    现在很多人写博客，英文博客也很多。就像我以前说的那样，找自己感兴趣的话题，例如，我是个apple fans,  我就专门搜集apple 相关的博客和论坛，东看看，西瞄瞄。有不懂的地方，向他人讨教。还是哪句话，网络不是实名制，所以大着胆子给人发e-mail, 一般现在的博客都公开他们的gtalk,  我是最好别人加我联系人，说不定他们还能帮我推广博客呢。联系人越多，他们分享你帖子的可能性就越大。写日记也是一种很好的方式，纪录下你身边的一点一滴，现在还是很有很多人喜欢最原始的diary, keep your secrets to yourself.

祝大家周末愉快。有什么建议，也可以在此分享。
