我們到底應該用哪一種英文口音溝通?
真的要看同學的目的和說話場合是什麼。
若是為了跟聽眾產生共鳴,那可能用他們熟悉的口音和說話方式,你說的話才會直達到他們的心坎裡。
同學來看一下Presentality分析李光耀 (新加坡開國最主要的領導人)與人民溝通的方式和他選擇使用的口音。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 不知為何,幾天前我的 Youtube 突然推薦了前新加坡總理李光耀 (Lee Kuan Yew) 接受西方媒體採訪的影片。
我知道很多名人說李光耀是他們最敬佩的領導人之一,但我從來沒看過他說話的影片, 我就決定來看看他是否真的很會溝通。
結果,我的天啊,太強大了。
就算影片是幾十年前的,影像跟聲音的畫質都不是很好,你還是可以感受到他講話的力道、威嚴、還有魅力:
https://youtu.be/VexrmTacOAA
我們就來解析他的一些溝通及說話技巧吧。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 如果這是你第一次聽他說話,你第一個注意到的,很可能是他的英文有多流利。畢竟人家可是在英國劍橋大學受教育的,英文根本就是母語。
但除了口音之外,最能展現語文能力的,是他的用字遣詞。
選擇有效的字眼,及潛在意義。
當第一位記者問他,他對美國在越戰使用武力的看法時(有點敏感啊!),他的回答,每個字都選擇的很巧妙。
*我把值得注意的幾個字,用大寫標示起來:
I would like to see a great deal more CAUTION, a more SELECTIVE EXERCISE of your enormous range of weapons you’ve got, and more BRAINS AND FEET — preferably Vietnamese brains and feet — rather than more power and GADGETRY.
他回答這個問題的時候當然要小心,不能過度批評美國政府,所以他選的字,也符合了這位記者想要表達的 “restraint” (克制)
•Caution — 會比 “Should use power more carefully” 要來的更溫和 (你可以自己唸出來看看,連 caution 的字本身都比較柔和)。
•Selective — 他不告訴美國怎麼使用武力,只是說 be selective,就是要選擇性的使用。
•Brains and feet, rather than gadgetry — 這邊也很巧妙,把當地的人,用 brains and feet 來代表,更能強調他們的長處,比 “local people” 更能夠有說服力。而且他選擇 gadgetry — 就是 fancy tools 的意思,但其實就是武器,但如果他說武器就太直白了,說成 “fancy tools” 又可以強調這個的短處,讓人覺得沒錯,brains and feet 確實比較好。
他能夠選擇好的字眼的原因,其中當然有他受過的教育、以及過去累積的經驗。但同樣重要的,是他不疾不徐的風格。
如果我們把他現場說出上面那段話的每個停頓點寫出來,變成分行,會變成這樣:
I would like…
… to see a great deal more caution…
… a more selective exercise of…
your…
enormous range of weapons you’ve got, and uh…
more brains and feet…
他幾乎每幾個字就會停頓一下,不但給自己時間思考,也可以表現出深思熟慮的感覺。
適時的停頓,可以讓你沈穩、有力!
停頓加上強調字眼的力道有多強大,我們看接下來這段就知道了,這也是我整個訪談中最喜歡的一段之一,在影片中的 17分25秒左右開始。
他對記者表示,他這次來美國,是要看美國人對於越戰,是否真的有決心。
我同樣把他停頓的地方分行,而且用大寫,表示他特別強調的字:
You MUST demonstrate, and which…
I’ve really come here to understand better…
is whether YOU…
as a PEOPLE…
have got that resolution (註:不是解決的意思喔,是決心)…
that stamina, that perseverance, AND…
most important of all…
*這裡明顯放慢速度,還對聽眾眨眼一下
infinite patience, AND…
*這裡一個超級長的停頓…
the capacity to hold back…
your desire to settle this quickly and get it over with, because this is a very different kind of war…
The other side is not in uniform. You are.
*還記得我們上次提到的長短句交錯嗎?這一段是不是就有用到這個原則呢?
我相信看上面的一段,就可以感受到他說話的力道,但還是推薦大家去看影片。這段話他 deliver 出去的方式,實在太好了。
尤其是說到 “infinite patience” 的時候,他整個把音拉的超級長,似乎想要讓很長很長的音,來讓聽眾感受到那個 “infinite”。
Note: 這是另一個演講技巧:就是讓你的音調、語氣、音量等等,來傳達字面上的意思。沈重的訊息,就用低沈緩慢的方式來說。要強調時間很長或過的很慢,就把字句的音本身拉長等等。
他連說到這段的時候,臉上的表情都很有趣,好像在跟美國人上一課:
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 Speaking the Audience’s Language
李光耀也很會看聽眾來調整自己的溝通方式。
如上面提到,李光耀上面對西方媒體說話的用字,都是比較有學問的,完全展示他的知識水平。畢竟東方人到了西方,不能被看貶。如果他說的是 highly-educated English,西方聽眾會比較覺得 ah he’s on our level!
你看看他對自己生涯的回顧,寫的多文雅:
I am not given to making sense out of life — or coming up with some grand narrative on it — other than to measure it by what you think you want to do in life.
他不是寫 “I don’t try to make sense of life”,而是 “I am not given to making sense out of life”。他還在後面加個 “grand narrative”。滿文學的。
但他跟自己國家的老百姓說話,就不是這樣了,也不能這樣。
把上面他跟西方媒體訪談的英文,與下面這個對新加坡人民做的演說相比,就很明顯了。甚至連口音也變了!
https://youtu.be/bGMKiv8-bzM
開頭他說:
I hope to tell you what merger means, why it’s good for all of us, why it’s coming, and why some people are deliberately creating trouble and difficulty…
很白話文對不對?
他就是一個很會看聽眾說話的人。當地媒體就曾經指出...

★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 我以前一直認為,反正新加坡不算個民主,李光耀完全掌權,當然可以照他自己的意思去做事情。但看完這些影片,讀了一些分析,發現我想錯了。
新加坡這麼小的地方,沒什麼資源,周圍環繞著這麼多的勢力,不但有東南亞的大國們,也有外來的勢力:美國、英國、澳洲、日本等等… 他是如何在這麼複雜的歷史背景下,不只持續掌權,生存,而且還打造今天的新加坡?
我相信他的溝通能力,一定是關鍵:對不同的勢力,在不同的時機點,用對的故事跟語言,傳達他需要傳達的訊息。
It’s not just about speaking. It’s about speaking to achieve your goals.

☆ネイティブの生の会話からリアルな英語を学ぶ☆
=================================
1) Work out(うまくいく)
=================================
work outは「うまくいく」や「良い結果が出る」を意味し、何かしらの行動が良い結果につながることを表す場合に使われます。例えば、「良い結果になるといいですね」と相手の幸運を祈る場合は“I hope it works out.”と言います。ちなみに、今日の会話でビッキーは“How did it work out for you?”と聞きましたが、ここでは「大学はどうだった?キャリアに繋がった?」という意味合いになります。
<例文>
Don’t worry about it. I’m sure everything will work out.
(心配しないで。きっと全てうまくいくよ。)
That’s great news! I’m glad it all worked out.
(良いニュースですね。全てうまく行ってよかったです。)
What if your plan doesn’t work out? What are you going to do?
(もしあなたの計画が上手くいかなかったらどうするの?)
=================================
2) As long as(〜さえすれば)
=================================
as long asは状況によって様々な意味になりますが、今日の会話では「〜さえすれば」という意味で使われます。例えば、「練習さえすれば、上達するよ」は“You’ll improve as long as you practice.”と表現します。
<例文>
You can play video games as long as you finish your homework.
(宿題が終わっていればゲームをしてもいいよ。)
You can borrow my car as long as you fill up my tank.
(ガソリンを満タンにしてくれれば、私の車を使ってもいいよ。)
It's OK to make mistakes as long as you learn from them.
(間違ったって、そこから学びさえすればそれでいいんだよ。)
=================================
3) Good value for(〜に見合う価値)
=================================
good value forは「〜に見合う価値」を意味し、この表現は一般的に、good value for the money(金額に見合う価値)とgood value for the price(価格に見合う価値)の組み合わせで使われます。good value for the moneyは「コスパが良い」ことを表し、逆に「コスパが悪い」はterrible value for the moneyと言います。
<例文>
Netflix is good value for the money. You should look into it.
(Netflixはお得だよ。調べてみてよ。)
That online English service is good value for the price.
(あのオンライン英会話サービスはコスパが良いよ)
This place is a ripoff. It’s terrible value for the money.
(このお店はぼったくりだ。値段に見合わないよ。)
=================================
4) Worthwhile(〜する価値がある)
=================================
worthwhileは、時間や労力、お金などを費やす価値があることを意味します。特に膨大な時間や労力を費やすニュアンスが含まれており、困難で大変かもしれないが、それだけの価値があることを表します。例えば、「やりがいがあるよ」は“It’s worthwhile.”、「やりがいのある仕事」は“It’s a worthwhile job.”と言います。
<例文>
My job is challenging at times but it’s worthwhile.
(私の仕事はたまに大変なこともありますが、やりがいがあります。)
I believe that everything worthwhile takes time.
(私は、価値あるものには時間がかかると考えています。)
You should get this textbook. It’s a bit pricey but worthwhile.
(この教科書を買った方が良いよ。少し値段が高いけど価値があるよ。)
=================================
5) Like everyone else(みんなと同じように)
=================================
like everyone elseは「みんなと同じように」を意味する表現です。例えば、「私はみんなと同じように英語が好きです」は、“I like English like everyone else.”または“Like everyone else, I like English.”のように、文頭と文末で使うことができます。日常会話ではjustを加えて“I like English just like everyone else. / Just like everyone else, I like English.”のように表現することが多く、みんなと同じであることをより強調することができます。
<例文>
I struggle with pronunciation like everyone else.
(私もみんなと同じように発音に苦労しています。)
I started studying English when I was in junior high just like everyone else.
(私もみんなと同じように、中学生の時に英語の勉強を始めました。)
Just like everyone else, I’m taking the TOEIC test next weekend.
(私もみんなと同じように、来週末TOEICの試験を受けます。)

Wesley: good style. Nice change ups and really good cadence. Also very strong stage presence, although his outfit looks kind of college nerdy but it works for him. Needs to change up his style so that he stands out more. The dancing needs more work, feels like he’s trying to hard and some shots but that’s OK because they’re college kids.
羅福公:really good. Strong stage presence and strong emoting. Excellent incorporation of Japanese, Chinese, and English. Although, some of the English pronunciation was way off even in the name of trying to make things rhyme. Aside from that his style is cool and not much to really improve. Dresses like a deep-sea fisherman from the movie life aquatic with Steve Zissou
Third guy: technically really decent rapper. Although the drunken/lazy Mumble rap tongue rhyme scheme has been done better by 蛋頭. Really liked the HAM part towards the end, but the incorrect incorporation of hip-hop lingo and lines from other popular American rap songs(Migos) was a bit off putting. Also most of the English is mispronounced.
Gfate: I didn’t get what you were trying to do at all. Are you rapping? Ranting? Mumbling? Nice voice tho.
Fifth Guy: Really dig his swag. His voice is deep and smooth. LIke the elongation style and his rhyming style just sways. Rapping style is very musical. Sounds like an instrument. Very confident and natural in front of the camera.
Kerrita: Nice singing voice but sometimes out of tune. Usage of pitch correction is pretty obvious. The English took me out. Also her jazz singing style doesn’t really match the song. Too much vibrato and execution of syncopation wasn’t precise. However, the rap was really good. I’d like to hear her rap more. Score: 3.0
As a Group: If you’re going to rep your school/present yourself as a crew, then you need to have some overall theme(dress, swag, etc) that presents you as a team. This video feels like random people came together for one project, but they don’t really know each other or have chemistry. Find something that makes your school/group unique and exploit it.
