一篇合格的“经典演说”是什么样
快一起来看看吧！
经典演说一般由Introduction开始，但选手也可以选择在此之前加入一段开场片段（Teaser）来开启他们的演讲，它并非一项硬性要求，而是一种能够吸引听众注意力、抓住听众兴趣的手段。
Teaser并不需要自行创作，而应取自选手所选演讲原文。Teaser通常都很短 —— 不超过 30 秒。
开场片段结束后，演讲者可以有一个“戏剧性的停顿”，可以选择低头或向下看，停顿后抬头继续，进行演讲介绍环节；演讲介绍环节后，可以再次停顿，以此示意将回到原演讲内容中。
Although it is not a requirement in declamation, most students begin their speech with a teaser.
A teaser is an attention getting device that hooks the listener. In declamation, instead of writing a hook, performers use a few lines from their piece. Teasers are usually short- no more than 30 seconds long.
After the teaser, students use a dramatic pause to signal its conclusion. Additionally, students will often drop their head/look down. When the dramatic pause is over, students lift their head up and begin their introduction. Upon completion of the introduction, students again use a dramatic pause and lowering of their head to signal their transition back to the original declamation.
与原创演讲不同，传统来说，经典演说的演讲者在演讲过程中不太需要走动，而是站在场地中央，下半身尽量不动。如果想走动，通常只可以在环节间的过渡时走动。
Unlike original oratory, declamation performers traditionally don’t walk during their speech. Instead, students stand in the center of the room with minimal lower body movement. Performers can take steps if they choose to, but normally at transitions.
一般来说我们鼓励学生在演讲中加入手部动作和手势，但经典演说并非表演，在演讲过程中并不涉及对角色的演绎。我们不希望表演者按照原演讲的方式来呈现。手部动作和手势应当自然，起到辅助演讲的作用，而非分散观众注意力。
Students are encouraged to incorporate hand movement and gestures into their speech. However, declamation is not acting and characters are not performed in the speech. Performers are not expected to present the speech as it was originally performed. Hand movement and gestures should be natural and complement the performance rather than distract the audience.
一篇合格的「经典演说」到底是什么样？为了让大家更直观地感受迪迪决定亲自来演示！
Q
对于“经典”两个字是否有定义？会不会因为“经典”的定义不同，而对分数产生影响？
A
没有。选手们选的演讲不需要一定是一篇经典或者是由著名的重要的大人物写的，Declamation的内容对裁判打分来说不是那么重要，重要的是选手的演绎部分，以及“Introduction”部分。
There is not a requirement that the original speech be a class or written by a famous person. The content of the declamation is not important to the judge’s scoring. The scoring is based on the students’ performance and the introduction they write.
Q
我在小红书上找到一个演讲的视频，是中国的传统故事“年“的传说，可以用来作为演讲素材么？“我喜欢的动物”，“我最爱的人”，之类的话题呢？
A
只有经过发布，且提供文字稿的演讲才可以被用来参赛。
另外，民俗故事，传统故事之类的题材不太适合Declamation，更适合Storytelling，所以不建议大家选用。
Unless the video from Rednote contains a transcript and was published it would not qualify as a declamation. Folklore might fit better in a storytelling speech event, not declamation.
Q
有博主在他个人社交平台上专门发布一些演讲稿件，并有文字稿，这种可以使用么？
A
个人在自己的平台发布的演讲稿件可以用来比赛，但是如果只有文字稿，没有被讲过/表演过，则这类演讲不符合比赛要求。
If the teacher only wrote the speech and never presented it themselves, it would not qualify as a speech. Self-published material would be ok as long as it was a speech performed by the original author.
Q
Introduction的部分是需要学生自己去写一些东西吗？
A
选手们需要自己为演讲写一个“Introduction”， 家长不得代写，否则会被认为是“抄袭”。
“Introduction”部分一定要包含原演讲者和演讲的题目。除此之外，选手们可以自行决定是否要在“introduction”中加入其他内容。
大多数教练会建议学生们在“Introduction”部分加入一些对主题的解释，以及观众可以从中获得什么。最好的declamation演讲能够展示演讲的重要性和意义。
Yes, students should write an introduction to the speech themselves. Parents should not write the introduction for their children- that would be plagiarism.
The introduction must include the original author and the title of the speech. Beyond that it is up to the student to decide what to include in the introduction.
Most coaches recommend that the introduction include an explanation of the major theme of the speech and what the audience will learn from it. The best declamations are able to demonstrate the significance of their speech.
Q
如果演讲原文超出了3min，需要对原文进行剪辑，那么什么程度的剪辑是被允许的呢？是只能做长度的删减，还是可以调整原文的顺序？
A
学生可以对原来超出3分钟时长的演讲进行编辑。组委会建议大家删掉不那么重要的部分，或者缩短句子。但是，组委会不建议大家改变原文语句的顺序，这样可能会让观众感到困惑，或者削弱原演讲的整体性。
Students can edit speeches that were more than 3 minutes long. We recommend that you delete parts that are less important or shorten sentences. However, changing the order of the sentences is not advised since it could confuse the audience and undermines the integrity of the original speech.
Q
可以去哪里找这类符合条件的演讲资源呢？
A
由于演讲内容可以被编辑，所以可选择的演讲范围还是很大的。这里推荐几个演讲网站给大家：
