試試“極速演講”

Speed geeking is a participation process used to quickly view a number of presentations within a fixed period of time. Speed geeking gets its name from speed dating, since they both employ similar techniques.

“極速演講”指的是在一定的時間內(nèi)，快速進行數(shù)個演講的參與過程。這個說法來自于“閃電約會”，兩者都采用了相似的技巧。

A large room is selected as the speed geeking venue. All the presenters are arranged in a large circle along the edge of the room. The remaining members of the audience stand at the center of the room. Ideally there are about 6-7 audience members for each presenter. One person acts as the facilitator.

首先要為“極速演講”選擇一間較大的屋子。所有的演講者沿著屋內(nèi)的邊緣圍成一個大圈。其余的觀眾站在屋子的中間。理想情況下每名演講者對應大約6到7名觀眾。其中一人作為引導者。

The facilitator rings a bell to start proceedings. Once proceedings start, the audience splits up into groups and each group goes to one of the presenters. Presenters have a short duration, usually 5 minutes, to give their presentation and answer questions. At the end of the five minutes, the facilitator rings a bell. At this point, each group moves over to the presenter to their right and the timer starts once more. The session ends when every group has attended all the presentations.

引導者發(fā)出信號，開始整個活動?；顒娱_始后，觀眾分成若干小組，每個小組去聽一個人的演講。演講者只有很短的時間進行演講并回答問題，通常為5分鐘?？斓綍r間時，引導者再次發(fā)出信號。這時，每組觀眾轉(zhuǎn)向其右側(cè)的另一位演講者，計時再次開始。當每個小組都聽取了所有的演講后，活動結(jié)束。

例句：

If you haven’t tried speed geeking in your class, you should. You students will be engaged, communicating, thinking critically and having fun.

如果你在班上沒試過極速演講，那真應該試一試。學生們將參與其中，進行交流，辯證地思考，享受樂趣。
