01、Pecha Kucha是什么意思？
What is PechaKucha？
Pecha Kucha是日文，意指喋喋不休的闲聊。
The Japanese term ´Pecha Kucha´ roughly translates as chit-chat or irritating chatter.
02、什么是Pecha Kucha 20x20 ？
What is Pecha Kucha 20x20 ?
Pecha Kucha 20x20 是一种简单的演讲形式，在此过程中演讲者播放20张幻灯片，每张幻灯片的时长设定为20秒，幻灯片自动向前切换，演讲内容跟随幻灯片的切换而改变，直至结束，演讲时长共400秒。
Pecha Kucha 20x20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images forward automatically and you talk along to the images.
03、什么是Pecha Kucha Nights ?
What are Pecha Kucha Nights ?
Pecha Kucha Nights （缩写PKN）是一个非正式的聚会，充满了乐趣。有创意的朋友聚集在一起分享他们的主意、作品、思想或者度假见闻——事实上可以是任何东西，但前提是遵守Pecha Kucha 20x20的演讲形式。
Pecha Kucha Nights are informal and fun gatherings where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, holiday snaps - just about anything really, in the Pecha Kucha 20x20 format.
04、这种演讲形式是谁发明的?
Who invented the format ?
PechaKucha Night最初由克莱恩•戴萨姆建筑事务所（Klein Dytham architecture，简称KDa）的创办人Astrid Klein和Mark Dytham在2003年2月在东京发起。现在，KDa依然是PechaKucha Night的总部，组织和支持PechaKucha Night在全球的活动，同时也是PechaKucha Night东京站的举办方。
The presentation format was devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture. The first Pecha Kucha Night was held in Tokyo in their gallery, lounge, bar, club, creative kitchen SuperDeluxe in February 2003. Klein Dytham architecture still organize and support the global Pecha Kucha Night network and organise Pecha Kucha Night Tokyo.
05、为什么要发起这样的演讲形式？
Why invent this format ?
发起这种演讲形式的目的是为了让设计师、建筑师或者有创意的人们在限定的时间内用简短的语言传达自己的思想，达到有效的交流。
Because architects talk too much! Give a microphone and some images to an architect - or most creative people for that matter - and they'll go on forever! Give powerpoint to anyone else and they have the same problem.
06、谁可以来参与Pecha Kucha Nights?
Who can present ?
任何年龄，任何行业的人都可以参加报名参加，这就是PechaKucha Nights的魅力所在！例如PKN创始人Astrid的女儿5岁时参加了PKN演讲，介绍她的艺术创作；PKN创始人Mark的母亲，69岁时参加了PKN演讲，关于她精心准备的婚礼蛋糕的创作过程。
Anyone can present - this is the beauty of PechaKucha Nights. Astrid's daughter presented when she was 5 (about her artwork ;- ) and Mark's mother presented when she was 69 (about her elaborate wedding cake creations).
07、参与者可以展现什么内容？
What can people present?
参与者可以展示他们想要展示的一切东西，例如展示他们的创意作品，或者分享假期见闻。但假如他们之前参加过我们举办的活动，将会更清楚自己想要展示什么。
The key to a great presentation is to present something you love. Most people use PechaKucha Night to present their latest creative projects or work. Some people share their passion and show their prized collections of Nana Mouskuri records, other share photos of their latest site visit to a construction site or their recent holiday snaps. We always recommend people go and see a PechaKucha Night before they apply to present to get a good feel of what it is all about.
