10 Steps to Master Public Speaking
10步掌握公众演讲
We've all had our encounters with public speaking, whether is was to entertain, inform, or persuade.
我们都遭遇过公众演讲，不论是为了娱乐、传递消息或是说服别人。
Although we're taught about it in school, we still feel uncomfortable when the time comes to stand in front of a large audience.
虽然我们在学校都学过，但当我们要站在一群观众面前的时候，还是会感到不适应。
There are several factors that contribute to our fear of public speaking, or glossophobia, as it's called.
以下几点因素有助于克服我们的公众演讲恐惧，或是言语恐怖。
Feeling the size of the audience magnifies our mistakes, which amplifies our fear.
观众人数会夸大我们的错误，增加我们的恐惧。
In a crowd of a hundred people, a single misstep might as well have been a hundred missteps.
站在一百人面前，一个失误可能也会变成一百个失误。
And it makes sense. We fear the risk of criticism, especially among strangers.
这也有道理。我们害怕受到批评，尤其是在一群陌生人面前。
We feel they are prone to be more honest in their reactions, thus making us value their opinion on our performance above our own opinion.
我们觉得他们的反应可能更加诚实，因此，我们重视他们对我们的表现所做出的评论。

更别提参加这种单方面的口头交流时，那是相当尴尬啦。

虽然演讲时要求观众保持安静，
not getting immediate feedback can be a scary thing if you're the one in front of that crowd.
但是当你站在一群人面前时，得不到及时的反馈是一件恐怖的事。
