Ban the banalities that bog down most speech openings. Defer the customary “nice-to-be-here” platitudes. Direct your audience more into fawning than yawning over your speech opening. How?
大部分演讲的开头都总是被那些陈词滥调拖入冷场，这是你应该避免的。别急着用那些惯用的“很高兴来到这里”之类的客套话。怎样让你的开场白赢得众人的喝彩而不是让观众昏昏欲睡呢？
Start your speech better by diving in! Instead of gingerly dipping your toes into the proverbial speaking pool, open with a splash! Pattern your platform performance after the TEASE opening which Saturday Night Live has made famous for more than 25 years.
开始演讲时，你最好像跳水一样直奔主题开门见山，而不是小心翼翼地像用你的脚趾探入池塘一般溅起一点点水花！你可以模仿因周六夜现场（美国的一档喜剧节目）而流行了25多年的逗笑式的开场白来开始你的台上表演。
First, TEASE your audience from the second you open your mouth. And open their eyes to something new, different, and even entertaining. Pique their interest. Immerse your audience into the action from the opening second with a verbal splash of cold water. With a powerful 30- to 60-second opening, your audience will be engaged to stay tuned for more.
首先，你开口说的第一句话就应该“逗笑”你的观众。讲一些新奇的，与众不同的甚至是搞笑的话来使你的观众眼前一亮。激起他们的兴趣。从演讲的一开始，你的演讲就应该像冷水里溅起的水花一样让观众沉迷其中。一个强有力的30到60秒的开场白能让你的观众更长久地专注于你讲的内容。
Then, you can then formally introduce yourself, and give your audience an overview of your speech. It’s important they know up front why your speech is important to them.
然后，你可以正式地做自我介绍，并且对你今天所要讲的内容进行概述。你要让你的观众早早地知道为什么你今天的演讲对他们而言非常重要，这是很要紧的一点。
Let’s examine those first thirty to sixty seconds.
