One of the skills of sublimating the theme of speech: the blending of environment and emotion
In the speech, the typical events in real life are rendered to create a situation closely related to the theme, so as to touch the scene and blend the scenes to achieve the effect of sublimating the theme of the speech.
For example, there is a passage in Hu Yunlong's speech "What will our future generations drink": Miss hengel, a German, and her companions came to visit the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, which has been longing for a long time. Along the way, they enjoyed the intoxicating scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River and deeply appreciated it? China? The ruthlessness of wantonly destroying the environment. In the eyes of tourists from China, the Yangtze River is just a natural garbage dump, and the Yangtze River flows eastward? No complaints? As foreign tourists, they can't bear to do so. When they couldn't find the trash can, they had to put all the garbage in the trip in plastic bags and politely ask the flight attendants to dispose of it before getting off the plane. Unexpectedly, the flight attendant scoffed and threw the garbage bag into the embrace of the Yangtze River without hesitation. Seeing this, I can't help asking: What is the description of Song of the Yangtze River? Watering the land of flowers with pure and clean water? And then what? Holding up mountains and seas with huge arms? Can the Yangtze River withstand the heavy pressure of ruthless destruction by the people it raises? Water is kind and affectionate to us human beings. We must never be ungrateful, bite the hand that feeds us, nor force our descendants to drink the bitter wine we brewed, let alone kill the goose that lays the golden egg and harm others. This is the responsibility!
Here, through the experience of foreign tourists in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the speaker vividly rendered the life pictures of foreigners with poor environmental awareness, thus expressing their feelings and triggering discussions, and the theme of the speech was well sublimated.
Skill 2 of sublimating the theme of speech: deepening from the outside to the inside
Some meaningful facts may not be understood by the audience unless they are revealed, but once they are revealed and refined by the speaker, it is like finding shiny gold in the gravel and sparkling pearls in the shell, which is exciting and thought-provoking. This kind of expression from external actions or objective facts to internal thoughts or deep meanings is a skill to deepen the sublimation theme from the outside to the inside.
For example, Dr. Sun Yat-sen said in a speech: There is an overseas Chinese rich man in Java, Nanyang, whose property exceeds 10 million. Once he went out to visit a friend, because he didn't bring an evening pass, and he was afraid of being caught by the Dutch police, so he had to pay a Japanese prostitute to send him home.
Although Japanese prostitutes are poor, her motherland is very strong, so she has a high status and freedom of movement. Although this China native is rich, his motherland is not strong, and his status is not as good as that of a Japanese prostitute. ? When the country dies, we suffer indignities everywhere, not only ourselves, but also our children and grandchildren! ?
Dr. Sun Yat-sen analyzed a typical material here from the outside to the inside, and revealed that if the country is poor, the people will be bullied. Will you be beaten if you fall behind? The truth sublimated the theme of the speech and aroused the audience's strong patriotism.
Tip 3: the extension of this and that.
In a speech, sometimes a typical event or natural phenomenon can be used as a trigger and a medium to extend it and connect with another related thing and event, thus sublimating the theme of the speech. This technique of sublimating the theme from this to that can not only enlighten the wisdom and insight of the audience, but also create a realm and atmosphere full of philosophical beauty through visual rendering.
For example, when an American teacher working in a medical college in China gave a speech to students, he first told a short story: One morning, after a storm, a man was walking by the sea, and many small fish washed ashore by last night's storm were trapped in a shallow water pit. Suddenly, he saw a little boy pick up the small fish in the puddle and throw them back into the sea. The man asked:? Son, there are hundreds of thousands of small fish in this puddle, and you can't save them. I know. ? The child answered without looking up. ? Oh? Then why are you still throwing? Who cares? The little boy answered while throwing a small fish. This little fish cares! This and this? The teacher finished this little story and said affectionately:
Today, you will start your college life here. Each of you will learn how to save lives here. Although you can't save people all over the world, all of China, or even a province or a city, you can still save some people, and you can alleviate their suffering. Because of your existence, their lives are different from now on. You can make their lives better. This is something you can and are willing to do.
The American teacher extended a short story with philosophical meaning in his speech, vividly expounded the noble professional ethics that medical college students should establish, sublimated the theme of the speech, and made the speech meaningful.
Skill 4 of Sublimating the Topic of Speech: Contrast from Repression to Promotion
The climax in a speech is often the key to sublime the theme. Proper use of the contrast method from suppression to promotion can make the expression of emotion and reason concentrated at the climax more effective, thus subliming the theme of the speech.
For example, the climax of Lu Guohua's speech is "I hope you dare to be the first in the world": some people may say that the wave of reform is so easy to control because you are young and energetic. Well done, today is your lucky day, the stars are shining high; If you don't do it well, it's your bad luck and your reputation will be ruined. If we wander around and look around, if we rush headlong into it, if we don't ask for success but ask for nothing, if it's none of our business, if we are afraid of slapping our heads, will we believe it? Scary words? Then, the law will be eliminated by history, abandoned by the times and mocked by life. We should fight fearlessly, explore boldly, take risks and compete tenaciously!
Here, the speaker sails against the current, advances by retreating, and first establishes a premise contrary to the conclusion and tries his best? Depressed? And then use a negative conclusion as a conclusion? Yang? Ready, finally come naturally? Yang? Get up, so the contrast between suppression and promotion pushed the speech to a climax and sublimated the theme.
In a word, how to sublimate the theme is an important skill in the art of speech. Using this technique well, not only can the speech set off ups and downs again and again, but also can make the speaker and the audience form a harmonious echo and emotional shock, and enhance the appeal, agitation and artistic charm of the speech.
Skill five of sublimating the theme of speech: expanding from point to surface
The factual materials in the speech are flexible and diverse, such as a personal experience, a short story, a description of a character, and even a few words of a character. Although these are individual but typical materials, they can often become the theme of sublimation speeches? Point? . Right? This one? What kind of deduction and inclusion is the narrative of facts? This kind? Summarizing all or part of the factual connotation is a skill to spread the theme of a speech from point to surface.
For example, a passage in Fu Ying's speech "Remember the national humiliation, seize today": What does Ji Hongchang write high? I'm from China? The slogan "Mupai" walks among foreign people with blue eyes and yellow hair.
It is these millions of naked children who have propped up the backbone of our nation and the hope of our motherland; Is it them, on their own? Today? , with full of blood, braved the enemy's gunfire, wrote a march of the volunteers worthy of the times, let our national anthem resound through today's China, so majestic, so majestic, so loud; It is they who make us Chinese people climb the world's highest podium again and again today, making the volume louder and the melody stronger and stronger!
The speaker based on Ji Hongchang's patriotic behavior, and then strategically located, associated with the spirit of 100 million patriots in Qian Qian, Qian Qian, with? It's these millions of naked children. Is that them? The Reminder summarizes the lofty feelings of patriots from generation to generation through three layers of arrangement, and expands and sublimates the ideological significance embodied in a single case. When speaking, it can ignite the patriotic emotion of the audience and produce certain appeal.
Skill 6 of sublimating the theme of speech: from Chen to Xin
In the speech, it is also a good skill to sublimate the theme by using and imitating some past materials, bringing forth the new and excavating the profound connotation with practical significance.
For example, in the keynote speech contest to promote patriotism, a speaker talked about the hope of the return of Taiwan Province Province and the reunification of the motherland. Finally, he sublimated the theme into this: an old intellectual said to his children during his serious illness: Don't forget to tell Nai Weng that the motherland completed the family sacrifice on reunification day. ? This sentence has a new connotation than Lu You's famous sentence. It represents the wishes of many old intellectuals and the people of China! Comrades and friends, we are looking forward to this day!
This day will surely come!
Here, the speaker changed the famous sentence of Lu You from Chen to Xin in this typical material, giving it deeper practical significance and pushing the patriotic thoughts and feelings embodied in his speech to a climax.
