=================================
「Going to」と「About to」を適切に使い分けていますか?
=================================
今後の予定を伝える時、「(be) going to」と「(be) about to」のフレーズがよく使われますが、それぞれのニュアンスの違いについてはご存知ですか?とても簡単な違いなので、適切に使い分け出来るようになりましょう。
--------------------------------------------------
1) Going to _____
→「〜をします」
--------------------------------------------------
“Going to”は、未来系を示す時に使われる表現で「〜をします」を意味します。但し、漠然とした未来を示し(明確に示さない限り)、聞き手はその出来事をいつするのか分かりません。例えば、「I'm going to do my homework.」は「宿題をします」を意味しますが、今すぐ宿題をするのか、1時間後にするのか、聞き手は判断することはできません。
✔「in one hour(1時間後に)」や「tomorrow(明日)」、「next month(来月)」などと合わせて使い、具体的な時期を示すことができます。
✔「I was going to _____」のように過去形で使う場合、「〜をしようと思っていた」を表し、何かをする意図はあったが結局しなかった(できなかった)意味合いとして使われることが多いです。
<例文>
I'm going to clean my room.
(部屋の掃除をします。)
He's going to give a speech in one hour.
(彼は一時間後にスピーチをします。)
I was going to call you but I didn't have reception.
(電話をしようと思っていたのですが、圏外でかけられませんでした。)
--------------------------------------------------
2) About to _____
→「これから〜をします・これから〜しようとするところ」
--------------------------------------------------
“About to”は「今すぐ〜をする」や「まさに〜をしようとするところ」のように、何か出来事をこれからする、若しくはしようとする事を強調したい時に使われるフレーズです。例えば、「I'm about to do my homework.」は「これから宿題をしようと思っています」と「今」宿題を始めるニュアンスが含まれます。
✔“About to”は「今すぐ」を強調するので、「in one hour(1時間後に)」や「tomorrow(明日)」を加えると矛盾したことを言うことになるので注意しましょう。
✔「今すぐ」をより強調したい場合は“Just”を加え、「just about to(今ちょうど〜をするところ)」と表現します。
✔“I was (just) about to”と過去形で表現する場合「今まさに〜をするところでした」を意味します。
<例文>
I'm about to clean my room.
(これから部屋の掃除をします。)
He's about to give a speech.
(彼は今スピーチをするところです。)
I was just about to call you. How's it going Mike?
(今ちょうど電話をするところでした。マイクさん元気?・・・【状況】マイクさんに電話をかけようと思ったその時に、マイクさんから電話がかかってきた。)

[演講技巧] 用對的語言,說給對的人聽:看蕭美琴的 ALEC 演講
Presentality再次幫同學分享政治人物演講技巧。這次Andrew Yang 分析的對象是現任駐美代表蕭美琴 (Ambassador Bi-khim Hsiao)!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
這幾天看到網路上很多人稱讚蕭美琴在美國給的一場演講,是在 American Legislative Exchange Council 大會給的。Youtube 上還有完整的影片。
我就想要從一個英文撰稿人跟演講教練的角度,看一下她到底是哪裡講的好?
Ok, let’s go. First, the speech video itself: https://youtu.be/5ozMcauCjbs
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 連開頭都跟傳統台灣官員不一樣
她一開頭,就用一種很 personal 的方式回應主辦單位的介紹:
Thank you Karen for that kind introduction…
畢竟用人家的 first name,就感覺比較親切對不對?通常外交場合,都是用 last name 的。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 而且她跟台灣大部分官員用英文演講的時候有一個很不一樣的地方:
她講話的時候,是看著聽眾的 lol。
你可能會覺得搞啥啊,講話不是就要看著對方嗎?但其實很多台灣官員可能是語文能力關係,或是沒時間把稿子弄熟,演講的時候大部分的時間是盯著稿子的,所以跟聽眾的 connection 真的就會打折扣。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 另外一個小細節,就是她的節奏。
台灣很多官員不只是唸稿,還唸的斷斷續續,不停的卡住,蕭美琴就不一樣,講的算是非常流暢,尤其到後半段整個進入一個很好的 flow。
大家可能會覺得這只是英文好,但其實不完全是。我們也看過很多英文比蕭大使還要好的人,演講超級卡。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 講「對的字」,給對的聽眾
第二個細節,就是她的用字遣詞。
我們注意這裡:
I’m so honored to be able to be here in person, to use this occasion to express my gratitude… to the so many outstanding freedom-loving legislators around the United States.
還有這裡,講到主辦單位 ALEC 頒獎給蔡總統,她說:
It is also recognition for the freedom-loving people of Taiwan, and our determination to keep Taiwan free.
我們要指出的共通點在哪裡?
對,就是 “Freedom-loving”。
我在美國住十幾年,從大學到研究所到華府工作,周圍的朋友大多都是左派的,我不記得他們之中有任何人,任何一次,說過 “freedom-loving” 或甚至強調 freedom。這代表蕭大使真的很會對「對的人」說「對的話」。
她知道這群聽眾是美國保守派的,「自由」對他們來說是絕對的價值跟原則。所以一說完這段,就迎來熱烈的掌聲。
我猜今天如果蕭大使對的是左派的聽眾,她肯定不會一直提到這些字眼。
她也不忘用 “side-by-side” 的語法,來強調台灣跟美國的價值。很多台灣官員都只會制式的重複:We share with you the values of freedom and democracy, blah blah blah…
但蕭大使就做一點變化:
I often say that you are living in the land of the free.
We are living on the island of the free.
Good line,又迎來一些掌聲。
*Btw, 為什麼是 “land of the free” 而不是 land of free 或是 free land?因為自由的不是土地,而是「人」,所以美國人才會說 “we are a free people”。所以 “the free” 代表的其實是「自由的人」。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 掌控敘事 (Narrative)
我們再來看一段非常不錯的:
We also believe that it is only in societies that respect the freedom of speech, where true innovation can propel technology that advances human progress, instead of technology that is abused and used for surveillance and controlling their people.
美國時常有很多的辯論:我們應該要把什麼項目放在第一?科技進步?經濟成長?還是民主價值?
我在美國唸外交時,幫我們上課的前官員也會說:「我們先不要硬推民主,而是先幫助這些國家經濟成長,之後他們自然就會變成民主國家。」
蕭美琴的這段,就是一個反向的論述:如果沒有言論自由,就不會有真正的創新,因為科技會被用來控制人民,而不是真的改善大家的生活。
這就是敘事 (narrative) 的重點:不是只是提供一大堆 information 給大家 (this is what most people do),而是告訴大家要怎麼去「詮釋」這些資訊 (跟我們時常在說的 “framing” 有關)。
絕大部分台灣官員出去演講的時候,是完全沒有核心論述的,就只有提供一堆人家沒興趣也永遠不會記得的 information。
Can you spell B-O-R-I-N-G?
引用對方可以體會的經歷
講完一些硬一點的議題之後,她把話題帶到比較個人的層面:
I’m an ambassador now, I work in Washington, DC, but I used to be like you, I came from a legislature in Taiwan, I understand that all politics are local. And when we go back to our constituents, we wanna deliver on economic progress, we wanna deliver on the common values that we share.
說到個人經歷,突然感覺比較輕鬆,溫和對不對?這是一種非常好跟聽眾建立連結的方式,畢竟不是每一位外交官,都有跟聽眾同樣的經歷,所以她很會利用自己的強項。
但她這麼說,可是有目的:把聽眾的注意力帶到 “economic progress for constituents” 之後,她馬上用大家可以理解的數字,提醒聽眾台灣對美國「地方經濟」的重要性:
We’re in the State of Utah now, [Taiwan’s] size is only 15% the size of Utah, but we are the 8th largest consumer of US agricultural products in the world.
然後還不忘轉換成人均的數字!
Which means, per capita wise, each Taiwanese citizen is the second largest consumer — per capita wise — the second largest consumer of American agricultural products.
蠻厲害的對不對?但這樣還沒有結束喔!
★★★★★★★★★★★★

歡迎光臨~我是樂筆!
這幾年陸續接了數場校園演講,從攝影、創作、短影片、行銷到信仰分享都有,雖然至今仍然不是很厲害的講員,但很開心透過這些分享認識到很多很棒的人,也因此不斷整理自己:我在做什麼?為什麼要這麼做?
這次很感謝Change Maker找我跟「舊鞋救命」的玉麟姐姐一起分享「跨界」的專題,整理了這段時間一些經歷跟大家分享,希望Push還在猶豫的人趕快跨出舒適圈。
由於那天很多人在瘋奧運,加上小林同學剛打出史詩級的七局賽!所以很多筆友問我可不可以錄影……費了番功夫我跟大會主持人拿到這段充滿叮咚聲的錄音檔……希望大家為支持樂筆,湊合將就一下,哈哈。
有你們真好!我也會跟奧運選手們一樣,努力堅持下去!
Welcome to Sunlight~
In recent years, I have given a speech about photography, creation, short video, marketing and belief on campus for several times. Although I’m still not an impressive speaker, I meet great people through the process, so that I keep collecting myself: What am I doing? Why I do this?
Thank Change Maker for inviting Yu-Lin from “Used Shoes Save Lives” and me to share about “crossover” this time. I want to share my experience to push people who are hesitating to step out of the comfort zone.
Many people were crazy about Tokyo Olympics, in addition Lin Yun-Ju played the epic game seven! So many friends asked me if I could record a video……and with a lot of work I got the audio file which was full of “Ding-dong” from the host. Hope you support me and make do with it, haha.
It’s wonderful to have friends like you! I’ll keep going like Olympian!
