Woman: So that's the preparation, but are there any factors which make the presentation itself difficult, even if you are prepared?
那这就是准备工作，但有没有什么让演讲变得困难的地方，即使你做了准备？
Man: Well obviously, yes.
显然是有的。
Some speakers imagine, quite wrongly, that every audience is unfriendly, at least at the beginning.
一些演讲者会想象每个听众都十分不友好，至少在开始时会这么想，这是非常错误的。
And this affects their performance.
这会影响他们的表现。
And then there may be a few people who worry about their lack of experience of public speaking.
而且会有一些人担心他们缺乏公众演讲的经验。
But really what bothers most speakers is things like the OHP and the microphone - are they going to work, and so on.
但令演讲者感到最为麻烦的应该是投影仪和麦克风之类的东西--它们能否正常使用，等等。
Woman: Are there any techniques that are effective for overcoming feelings of anxiety?
有没有什么技巧能够有效克服紧张感？
Man: Well, first I have to say that some people never manage to reduce their anxiety levels.
首先我要说，一些人从不设法减少紧张感。
What they can do is learn to relax their face muscles while they speak, so that they look relaxed,
他们会在演讲时放松面部肌肉，这让他们看起来很放松，
even though they feel just as anxious as before.
即便他们和之前一样紧张。
In order to really reduce anxiety, some experts recommend concentrating on something that you enjoyed recently -
为了真正减少紧张，一些专家建议把注意力集中在你最近喜欢的东西上面--
but I find this is hopeless ... I just forget what I was about to say!
但我觉得这个方法没用……我会忘记我要说什么！
For me though, what has worked is some simple breathing exercises, breathing in deeply and slowly while making a pause.
而对我来说有效的方法是做一些简单的呼吸练习，在暂停时慢慢做深呼吸。
This definitely slows down the heart rate. That's what I would try first of all.
这的确会降低心率。这是我首先要去尝试的。
Woman: Something we can all try - Dr Carter, thank you very much indeed.
我们都可以试试这个方法--卡特博士，非常感谢您。
