Comprehensive Samples
例子
Sample 1
Thank
you,
Mr.
Chairperson,
Mr.
Director-General,
distinguished
members
of
the
ILO's
Governing
Body and friends.
I welcome this opportunity to be here today, with
an Organization
which
in
many ways
belongs
to
all
of
us workers. I
can
think
of,
in
fact,
no
other
international
body that one
can claim as one's own so unambiguously.
I
have
also
had
a
longstanding
formal
association
with
the
ILO.
Many
of
my
early
pieces
on
women
and technological change and on land rights were
published by the ILO, as well as was the
work
of
many
other
scholars.
It
is
therefore
a
pleasure
for
me
to
be
here
on
this
important
Symposium.
The canvas of the Symposium is very
large. I will focus on two aspects of gender
inequality that
centrally effect millions of women as
workers but perhaps have failed to receive the
attention they
deserve.
First,
the
gender
gap
in
command
over
property
and
Productive
assets
and,
second,
gender biased social perceptions and
social norms.
Expressions on Other
Occasions

Correcting the Title of the
Presentation
修改演讲标题
First of all, I would like to mention
that the title of my presentation should be ...
Please
allow
me
to correct
a
mistake
in
the
title
of
my
speech which
appeared
in
the
program.
Instead of... it should read...
Reading. Another Person's Paper
宣读别人的报告
Sometimes you are selected to read
another person's paper, as he or she is absent.
I shall read a paper by Dr. Li from
Guangzhou, china, who regrets that he
c
ould not be here. The
title
of his paper is...
I'm
going
to
read
the
paper
by
Dr.
Wang.
It's
a
great
pity
that,
because
of
a
health
problem,
he
could not be here.
I was asked by the author to read his
paper. He apologizes for not being able to come
here.
The next speaker, Prof. Zhang,
regrets that she could not be here and has
submitted her paper to
me. I am not
sure if I can present it as well as she expected.
I am not sure whether I' 11 be able to
be very confident in answering specific questions.
However,
I am somewhat familiar with
his work, so I' 11 try my best.
Checking the Microphone
First I want to check if all of you can
hear me clearly.
Am I
speaking clearly and loudly enough for those in
the rear of the room?

Rear:
后面
If those in the rear of the room can
hear me, would someone please raise his hand?
Can you hear me clearly?
Can
you hear me if I am away from the microphone?
Is the microphone working?
Chapter II Developing the Speech
Text
I. Announcing the
Beginning of the Speech T
ext
To begin with, I would like to talk
about a principle.
I think it would be
best to start out by looking at some pictures.
The
first
thing
I would
like
to
talk
about
is
the
definition
of
the
terms
which
I’11
use
in
my
presentation.
II. Shifting to the Next Main
Point
Well, let's move on to
the next point.
We will now come to the
second problem.
Turning to the next
question, I' 11 talk about the stages of the
procedure.
As the second topic, I shall
stop here. Now let' s turn our attention to the
third topic.
Now, let's move away from
the first part and switch over to the next part of
my presentation.
Switch
over:
转换,变换
That's
all for the introduction and now we can go on to
the literature review.
Next, I would
like to turn to a more difficult problem.
The next point I'd like to talk about
is the feasibility of this project.
That brings me to my second point.
III. Resuming the
T
opic
Let' s come
back to what I said in the first part of my
speech.
I want to return to the first
part of my presentation.
This brings me
back to the question of security.
At
this point I would like to refer again to the
question of methods in the first part of my
lecture.
Refer
to:
查阅,有关
Referring again to the first question,
I think...
I'll deal with it
later.
I'll touch upon that
point in a moment.
IV
.
Introducing the Supporting Materials
I think this part is the most
difficult, so I'll explain it in greater detail.
I think this part of my paper is most
important, so I plan to spend more time on it.

Please allow
me to deal with this matter more extensively.
Being the most important part of my
presentation, I will elaborate on it with more
slides.
Elaborate:
详尽阐述
Indicating the Points Briefly
Limited by the time available, I can
only give you a very brief account of this matter.
Account:
解释,说明
This
point
has
been
talked
about
repeatedly
in
this
symposium, so
I
am
not
going
to
spend
too
much time on it.
Let's go
through the following points very
rapidly.
I shall not go over
all these explanations. My time is running short.
So I'’11
be brief.
V
. Repairing a Slip of
T
one
口误
May I have the
lights, I mean the slides.
The
temperature increased, I shall say decreased.
The population is 13 million, sorry, 31
