End your speech with an attitude, not a platitude.
用一种有力的态度结束你的演讲,而不是用那些陈词滥调。
Instead of firing off a perfunctory “thank you,” consider launching fireworks of final passionate thoughts from the podium.
演讲结束时,在讲台上让最后的激昂思绪迸发出火花,而不是用一句不痛不痒的“谢谢大家”来做结尾。
With the flair of a fireworks finale, you’ll trigger spontaneous applause to a well-rehearsed, well-timed, and well-executed performance — a performance that reflects all the anticipation of a logger’s cry: Timbeerrrrrrrrrrr!
当你如烟花般谢幕,你将激起的不止是观众的掌声,更是那种自发的却如同演练已久的群体表演——你预料之中的激烈喝彩!
This article shows you how to close your speech with a bang.
本文会告诉你如何让你的演讲在结束时获得巨大的反响。
Leading speakers end their speeches like the opera star—on a high note, vocally and intellectually. Just as the comedian should leave ‘em laughing, the speaker should leave ‘em thinking. Last words linger. Last words crystallize your thoughts, galvanize your message, and mobilize your audience.
优秀的演讲者会像一位歌剧明星一样结束他们的演讲——不管在语言上还是思想上都留下一个“高音”。正如喜剧演员在人们的笑声中退场,演讲者也应该在人们的思考中退场。最后的话仿佛余音绕梁,令人回味。最后的话升华了你的思想,激活了你传达的信息,并且调动起了观众。
