演講嘉賓的英文演講稿
篇一：精彩英語(yǔ)演講開(kāi)場(chǎng)白示例
有了好的開(kāi)頭，英語(yǔ)演講便成功了一半。好的英語(yǔ)演講開(kāi)頭能夠吸引聽(tīng)眾的注意力，讓你的英語(yǔ)演講獲得更多人的認(rèn)可。那么，英語(yǔ)演講的開(kāi)頭應(yīng)該怎么寫才能吸引聽(tīng)眾的注意力呢下面與你分享精彩的英語(yǔ)演講開(kāi)場(chǎng)白示例。
1、精彩英語(yǔ)演講開(kāi)場(chǎng)白示例一：?jiǎn)柡蚵?tīng)眾，介紹自己
Good morning/afternoon/evening ladies and gentleman, Thank you for being on time/making the effort to come today. Let me introduce myself first. My name is...
英語(yǔ)演講稿開(kāi)頭怎么寫英語(yǔ)演講稿的開(kāi)頭問(wèn)候聽(tīng)眾是最基本的禮貌。在一個(gè)陌生的場(chǎng)合作英語(yǔ)演講，英語(yǔ)演講稿的開(kāi)頭可以先介紹自己。人的好奇心都特別強(qiáng)，如果臺(tái)上站著一個(gè)不認(rèn)識(shí)的人作演講，聽(tīng)眾們一定都想知道演講者的身份背景信息。所以在英語(yǔ)演講的開(kāi)頭，大大方方將自己介紹給聽(tīng)眾，讓大家認(rèn)識(shí)自己，無(wú)論如何，這總比演講結(jié)束了，臺(tái)下的觀眾還不知道臺(tái)上那個(gè)家伙是誰(shuí)要強(qiáng)!英語(yǔ)演講稿開(kāi)頭怎么寫

2、精彩英語(yǔ)演講開(kāi)場(chǎng)白示例二：受邀致辭
I'd like to thank you for inviting/asking me/giving me the chance to...
I am grateful for the opportunity to present...
通常情況下，在一起企業(yè)活動(dòng)或者學(xué)術(shù)活動(dòng)中，有的演講者會(huì)作為嘉賓被邀請(qǐng)發(fā)言。這個(gè)時(shí)候，你可以通過(guò)上述英語(yǔ)演講開(kāi)場(chǎng)白來(lái)發(fā)表講話。
3、精彩英語(yǔ)演講開(kāi)場(chǎng)白示例三：告知演講主題
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell you about...
The subject of my presentation is...
英語(yǔ)演講稿的開(kāi)頭要記得告知聽(tīng)眾演講的主題，不要一篇英語(yǔ)演講洋洋灑灑結(jié)束了，聽(tīng)眾還對(duì)你所講述的主題不甚明了，那就太悲劇了。一開(kāi)始就告訴聽(tīng)眾主題，讓他們帶著已有的自我認(rèn)知跟著你的演講往下聽(tīng)，他們的興趣會(huì)更濃厚，如果他們聽(tīng)了半天不知道主題，又沒(méi)怎么完全聽(tīng)懂，演講就沒(méi)有太大效果。
4、精彩英語(yǔ)演講開(kāi)場(chǎng)白示例四：引起聽(tīng)眾興趣
Over the next ten minutes you are going to hear about something that will change the way your companies operate...
At the end of this presentation you will understand why this company has been so successful for so long...
在英語(yǔ)演講稿的開(kāi)頭引入一些引起聽(tīng)眾興趣的內(nèi)容是演講的技巧。你想要為聽(tīng)眾講一個(gè)不一樣的故事你想要為聽(tīng)眾留一個(gè)懸念，讓聽(tīng)眾在你的英語(yǔ)演講中找尋答案那就試試上述這兩
種英語(yǔ)演講開(kāi)場(chǎng)白的表達(dá)方式吧。
英語(yǔ)演講稿開(kāi)頭怎么寫希望岱恩英語(yǔ)老師分享的精彩英語(yǔ)演講開(kāi)場(chǎng)白示例能夠?yàn)槟闾峁⿴椭�。同時(shí)，岱恩英語(yǔ)老師也要提醒大家，一場(chǎng)成功的英語(yǔ)演講光靠英語(yǔ)演講稿是不夠的，還需要掌握很多英語(yǔ)演講方法和技巧，并且一個(gè)人的英語(yǔ)演講能力也是需要反復(fù)鍛煉才能提升的。希望大家好好學(xué)習(xí)，早日成為英語(yǔ)演講高手!

篇三：20xx年JK羅琳：哈佛畢業(yè)典禮演講(中英文對(duì)照)
“20xx年6月5日是哈佛大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮，請(qǐng)來(lái)的演講嘉賓是《哈利波特》的作者J.K.羅琳女士。她的演講題目是《失敗的好處和想象的重要性》（The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination）。她幾乎沒(méi)有談到哈里波特，而是說(shuō)了年輕時(shí)的一些經(jīng)歷。雖然J·K·羅琳現(xiàn)在很有錢，是英國(guó)僅次于女皇的最富有的女人，但是她曾經(jīng)有一段非常艱辛的日子，30歲了，還差點(diǎn)流落街頭。她主要談的是，自己從這段經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到的東西�！�
以下是英文文稿和中文翻譯：
Text as delivered follows.
Copyright of JK Rowling, June 20xx
President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, proud parents, and, above all, graduates,
The first thing I would like to say is thank you.Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honour, but the weeks of fear and nausea I have endured at the thought of giving this commencement address have made me lose weight. A win-win situation! Now all I have to do is take deep breaths, squint at the red banners and convince myself that I am at the worlds largest Gryffindor reunion.
Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility; or so I
thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation. The commencement speaker that day was the distinguished British philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock. Reflecting on her speech has helped me enormously in writing this one, because it turns out that I cant remember a single word she said. This liberating discovery enables me to proceed without any fear that I might inadvertently influence you to abandon promising careers in business, the law or politics for the giddy delights of becoming a gay wizard.
You seeIf all you remember in years to come is the gay wizardjoke, Ive come out ahead of Baroness Mary Warnock. Achievable goals: the first step to self improvement.
Actually, I have wr
acked my mind and heart for what I ought to say to you today. I have asked myself what I wish I had known at my own graduation, and what important lessons I have learned in the 21 years that have expired between that day and this.
I have come up with two answers. On this wonderful day when we are gathered together to celebrate your academic success, I have decided to talk to you about the benefits of failure. And as you stand on the threshold of what is sometimes called real life, I want to extol the crucial importance of imagination.
These may seem quixotic or paradoxical choices, but please bear with me.
Looking back at the 21-year-old that I was at graduation, is a slightly uncomfortable experience for the 42-year-old that she has become. Half my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between the ambition I had for myself, and what those closest to me expected of me. I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels. However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk that would never pay a mortgage, or secure a pension. I know that the irony strikes with the force of a cartoon anvil, now.
So they hoped that I would take a vocational degree; I wanted to study English Literature. A compromise was reached that in retrospect satisfied nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages. Hardly had my parentscar rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched German and scuttled off down the Classics corridor.
I cannot remember telling my parents that I was studying Classics; they might well have found out for the first time on graduation day. Of all the subjects on this planet, I think they would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology when it came to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.
I would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that I do not blame my parents for their point of view. There is an expiry date on blaming your
parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you. What is more, I cannot criticise my parents for hoping that I would never experience poverty. They had been poor themselves, and I have since been poor, and I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticised only by fools.
What I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure. At your age, in spite of a distinct lack of motivation at university, where I had spent far too long in the coffee bar writing stories, and far too little time at lectures, I had a knack for passing examinations, and that, for years, had been the measure of success in my life and that of my peers.
I am not dull enough to suppose that because you are young, gifted and well-educated, you have never known hardship or heartbreak. Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the Fates, and I do not for a moment suppose that everyone here has enjoyed an existence of uuffled privilege and contentment.
However, the fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you are not very well-acquainted with failure. You might be driven by
a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success. Indeed, your conception of failure might not be too far from the average persons idea of success, so high have you already flown.
Ultimately, we all have to decide for ourselves what constitutes failure, but the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it. So I think it fair to say that by any conventional measure, a mere seven years after my graduation day, I had failed on an epic scale. An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears that my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.
Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality. So why do I talk about the benefits of failureSimply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the
