:如何写一篇出色的英语演讲稿

　　随着经济全球化的发展,我国参与国际商业界交流的机会越来越多,人们越来越经常地需要使用英语做演讲。这对我们的大学英语课程提出了更高的要求,以保证学生毕业后,能比较熟练地使用英语做演讲。实际上,不少英语教师早已在训练学生这方面的能力,并经常要求学生做英语演讲的训练。本文将会介绍怎样怎样写一篇好的英语演讲稿。

　　1．演讲要越短越好

　　关于写好英语演讲稿，应该要直截了当，开门见山的，不应该有中文的那种迂回婉转的表达方式。据有关专家统计，一般人的注意力一次只能集中约13分钟。所以，演讲长度以10～15分钟为宜。下面是美国总统林肯所作的著名的盖茨堡演说，虽然全文只有短短200多个词，却带有振奋人心、扭转乾坤般的力量。其中 of the people, by the people, for the people(民有，民治，民享)已成为不朽佳句。对于中学生来说，这篇演讲现在读起来一定会觉得很难，但要写好英语演讲，除了可以上能英语学习网学习之外，这确实是值得认真研读的经典之作。

　　Gettysburg Address

　　Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.

　　We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.

　　The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

　　It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, ----that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, ----that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, ----that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, ----and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

　　其实，我们中学生练习写演讲稿，可以短些，从4～5分钟，500～600个词，围绕一个主题开始练习。

　　2．根据听众对象，注意演讲的总体措词
