【高清视频+独家专访】一个被认为“不适合演讲”的女生如何走到全国亚军?
3个月前,
中国人民大学会计系大二女生朱家毅
正处于人生最自我怀疑的阶段。
一次比赛的失利,
甚至未能从地区赛突围,
让她觉得自己不会演讲了。
10天前,
“21世纪杯”全国总决赛赛前一周,
退赛的念头还一直在她心头盘旋。
因为没有导师,
因为写不出自己想要的演讲稿……
3月26日,
这个曾经被一位专家评价为“脑子跟不上嘴”,
不适合演讲的女生,
夺得了第22届中国日报社“21世纪·可口可乐杯”
全国英语演讲比赛总决赛亚军,
她参加演讲比赛以来的最好成绩。
台上的光鲜留在每一位评委、观众的深刻印象里,
而背后的汗水与泪水只有她自己知道。
没有人不适合,只有人不努力
朱家毅说很奇怪,似乎自己从小到大遇到的都是不重视演讲比赛的学校和老师,自己也从没有接受过关于英语演讲的系统培训。许多选手小伙伴们不仅有专业老师打磨演讲稿,指导发音、姿态,甚至连演讲台上需不需要脚垫这样的小细节都仔细把关。相对于他们,朱家毅可以说是“孤军作战”。“没有指导老师自己到处找人改几十遍稿的不容易我相信不是谁都体验过。”
已备演讲是朱家毅自认最薄弱的环节,裸考雅思,口语拿了8.5的高分,写作却仅有6分。之前一次比赛的一位评委对她说不会写文章,嘴太快,而脑子太慢。所幸乐观开朗的家毅还是从自我否定中走出来了,她努力找不同的人说自己对本次演讲主题的想法,改了几十遍稿子,甚至连演讲主题都改了四五遍,终于重新以潇洒自信的姿态走上了“21世纪杯”的舞台。

“‘21世纪杯’是我参加过最好的比赛,她不像有些比赛特别娱乐化,对英语重视度不够,也不像另一些比赛过于学术化,把英语太当回事,没有指导老师几乎无法完成。”
混沌的未来开始有了方向
在聊到“21世纪杯”对自己的影响时,朱家毅调侃道最大最直接的影响就是落下的课业太多,现在疯狂补课中。受父母的影响,朱家毅选择了会计学专业,而其实她本人并不特别喜欢喝数字打交道。现在对于未来,她仍然没有特别清晰的打算,或者会换专业读研,或许会先工作几年再继续读书。“21世纪杯”为她提供了新的思路。赛后,朱家毅被第七届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军、本届总决赛评委孙宁约谈,外交部抛来的橄榄枝也让她对未来的打算多了一种可能。
朱家毅谦虚地称自己的专业学得并不过硬,她很推崇去年“21世纪杯”大学组冠军,来自上海交通大学临床医学专业的朱雪。“她能用专业视觉去看一些东西,有自己很深刻的见解。”本届选手中,除了好朋友陈麒羽(冠军),朱家毅最佩服的是香港选手麦灏廷。“他真的把英语当成一种语言,有自己的思考,特别是问答环节非常有自己的看法。把英语仅仅当成一种工具,我们都还做不到。”
她和她的“嘿JesSAY”
生活里的朱家毅是一个闲不下来的人。刚进大学时,因为对各种社团和学生会都不感兴趣,她有了相当多的自由时间。一直热爱英语的她和一位小伙伴一拍即合,决定创建公众号来和大家分享学习英语的心得。如今她的微信公众号“嘿JesSAY”(ID:JSenglish-4u)已经有了三千多粉丝,最近一期和本届冠军陈麒羽聊天的节目阅读量达一千多(微信阅读率达到了50%,都是铁杆粉丝啊!),有时候还能收到忠实粉丝的“打赏”。“一开始也有用公众号赚钱的打算,后来真的在享受能在英语方面帮助到别人的感觉,完全没有功利心了。”
听朱家毅自述参加“21世纪杯”的感想↓↓↓
这次比赛我觉得"比爽了、够了" 的时候是我做完即兴演讲的时候,
因为在台上清楚地看到评委笑出声,点头,观众没等我讲完就想鼓掌,
总之现场效果非常好.
Audience is all that matters.
所以我觉得够了,我满意了
这次抽到维秘的题目也是我的好运气,因为自己对这样的话题还是有话想要去表达,所以说到最后会很爽.这不只是因为观众很supportive,更因为我的发自内心对此的表达欲.
下面是我的即兴里摘录出的一些我最想说的话(尽量不看中文翻译去体会,因为我的翻译会失意~)
They say that we shold hide our physical beauty to let our inner beauty outshine, becuz it's so distracting.
人们说我们要隐藏我们的外在美,以让我们的内在美更闪耀,因为那(外表美)太分散人的注意力了.
Women have all aspects of beauty, and physical beauty is included.
女人有各方面的美,外在美也包含其中.
Only when we allow for the free expression of our natural sexuality is the moment that we stop the objectification of women.
只有当我们允许女性自然性征的自由表达,才是我们停下对女性的"物化"的时候.
It would be my blessing to be a woman, and to be able to show my beauty when I want to.
能做一个女人(生)并且在我乐意的时候去展现我的美会是我的幸运.
We're proud to be women and to be beautiful!
(我觉得不用翻译了)
其实"物化女性"我觉得本来就是一个挺悖论的概念,之前Emma拍了比较暴露的封面被批评,她就没法理解。
如果我们自己觉得这样是正常的,其实就没什么物化不物化.
因为我们完全可以是在取悦我们自己.
重要的是,那些被人贴上"校花""美女"性感尤物"标签的女生时刻要知道,那不是全部的你.
不要被那样的标签所限制,知道你还有内在美需要修炼,这才是我们停止"物化"的最好方法.
(这也是我在即兴问答里的答案,当然你可以argue)
我的自信最初就是在六年级时的第一次English Public Speaking给的,被去年的演讲比赛经历夺走,现在又被'21世纪杯'还回来.
看起来是一个loop,但其实是在过程中不断在丰富对自我的认知,是上升的.
演讲比赛的句号这次算是画圆了,
And now I'm ready for the new challenge.
所以,这篇经过千锤百炼的已备演讲和朱家毅颇为自豪的即席演讲到底是怎样的?高清视频奉上~

演讲稿:
Question Mark for Globalization
“Globalization is a conspiracy.” my South African friend, Nuhu, once told me. I was in a shock while he explained, “It’s a game that we’re forced to play by the rules set by the superior westerners.” And by learning about the drive of the original globalization, the primitive accumulation of capital, I’m convinced that enough is enough. The unequal, violent exchange should have been enough since a long time ago.
However, what we do see today is that China has risen up by selling our products around the globe and learning advanced technology from others. And Africa is also believed to be the next China, another economic hub in the near future. So, although this might be an unfair game to play like what Nuhu claims, what he fails to see is that globalization is the very ladder for nations, especially those at the bottom of the global hierarchy to climb up. This win-win globalization is not enough. We can have more of it.
But what is the backlash? We have been fearing that the tide of globalization, the outpouring of western values will undermine our own. So when the global stage is not hearing a lot from the Chinese culture and not to mention the African culture, I guess Nuhu is onto something. The globalization that amplifies some cultures while extinguishing the others should have been enough since the very beginning.
And yet that’s not the whole picture. We see that our traditional works like Sun Tzu’s Art of War being worshiped by businessmen around the globe makes us start to relook at it and appreciate it again. And the Nobel Prize awarding for Moyan’s literature leads us to reflect on the development of our villages. So in the past, only we, Chinese people protect and pass on Chinese culture; but now, the international scholars, professors or even just ordinary people all over the world who get interested in our culture are preserving it. The uniqueness not well-protected by us transforms into the diversity universally-respected by global citizens. It is because of globalization that China and its culture are truly on a global stage.
So globalization is actually an on-going process that keeps surprising us while startling those worries and fears. It’s a dynamic system that we should look for ways to utilize and enhance.
But with the Brexit and the success of Trumpism, it seems major countries are all shifting away from globalization. But just because they are slowing down, making turns and adjusting themselves instead of peddling up, it doesn’t mean they are going for anti-globalization.
We are at an unprecedented point where the world becomes ever so connected that we need to figure out the boundaries and balance between censorship and openness; sameness and differences; patriotism and global citizenship. It’s the best time that every nation should seek for a better role to play in the globalization where we should continue to make improvements on.
It’s very understandable for nations to panic and make changes but we should never quit for it’s clear to us all that globalization is the only way that we seek for co-prosperity.
Globalization is not a conspiracy planned already, but a beautifully unfinished song to be written by us all.
Enough is SO NOT enough.
