[演講技巧] 用對的語言,說給對的人聽:看蕭美琴的 ALEC 演講
Presentality再次幫同學分享政治人物演講技巧。這次Andrew Yang 分析的對象是現任駐美代表蕭美琴 (Ambassador Bi-khim Hsiao)!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
這幾天看到網路上很多人稱讚蕭美琴在美國給的一場演講,是在 American Legislative Exchange Council 大會給的。Youtube 上還有完整的影片。
我就想要從一個英文撰稿人跟演講教練的角度,看一下她到底是哪裡講的好?
Ok, let’s go. First, the speech video itself: https://youtu.be/5ozMcauCjbs
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 連開頭都跟傳統台灣官員不一樣
她一開頭,就用一種很 personal 的方式回應主辦單位的介紹:
Thank you Karen for that kind introduction…
畢竟用人家的 first name,就感覺比較親切對不對?通常外交場合,都是用 last name 的。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 而且她跟台灣大部分官員用英文演講的時候有一個很不一樣的地方:
她講話的時候,是看著聽眾的 lol。
你可能會覺得搞啥啊,講話不是就要看著對方嗎?但其實很多台灣官員可能是語文能力關係,或是沒時間把稿子弄熟,演講的時候大部分的時間是盯著稿子的,所以跟聽眾的 connection 真的就會打折扣。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 另外一個小細節,就是她的節奏。
台灣很多官員不只是唸稿,還唸的斷斷續續,不停的卡住,蕭美琴就不一樣,講的算是非常流暢,尤其到後半段整個進入一個很好的 flow。
大家可能會覺得這只是英文好,但其實不完全是。我們也看過很多英文比蕭大使還要好的人,演講超級卡。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 講「對的字」,給對的聽眾
第二個細節,就是她的用字遣詞。
我們注意這裡:
I’m so honored to be able to be here in person, to use this occasion to express my gratitude… to the so many outstanding freedom-loving legislators around the United States.
還有這裡,講到主辦單位 ALEC 頒獎給蔡總統,她說:
It is also recognition for the freedom-loving people of Taiwan, and our determination to keep Taiwan free.
我們要指出的共通點在哪裡?
對,就是 “Freedom-loving”。
我在美國住十幾年,從大學到研究所到華府工作,周圍的朋友大多都是左派的,我不記得他們之中有任何人,任何一次,說過 “freedom-loving” 或甚至強調 freedom。這代表蕭大使真的很會對「對的人」說「對的話」。
她知道這群聽眾是美國保守派的,「自由」對他們來說是絕對的價值跟原則。所以一說完這段,就迎來熱烈的掌聲。
我猜今天如果蕭大使對的是左派的聽眾,她肯定不會一直提到這些字眼。
她也不忘用 “side-by-side” 的語法,來強調台灣跟美國的價值。很多台灣官員都只會制式的重複:We share with you the values of freedom and democracy, blah blah blah…
但蕭大使就做一點變化:
I often say that you are living in the land of the free.
We are living on the island of the free.
Good line,又迎來一些掌聲。
*Btw, 為什麼是 “land of the free” 而不是 land of free 或是 free land?因為自由的不是土地,而是「人」,所以美國人才會說 “we are a free people”。所以 “the free” 代表的其實是「自由的人」。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 掌控敘事 (Narrative)
我們再來看一段非常不錯的:
We also believe that it is only in societies that respect the freedom of speech, where true innovation can propel technology that advances human progress, instead of technology that is abused and used for surveillance and controlling their people.
美國時常有很多的辯論:我們應該要把什麼項目放在第一?科技進步?經濟成長?還是民主價值?
我在美國唸外交時,幫我們上課的前官員也會說:「我們先不要硬推民主,而是先幫助這些國家經濟成長,之後他們自然就會變成民主國家。」
蕭美琴的這段,就是一個反向的論述:如果沒有言論自由,就不會有真正的創新,因為科技會被用來控制人民,而不是真的改善大家的生活。
這就是敘事 (narrative) 的重點:不是只是提供一大堆 information 給大家 (this is what most people do),而是告訴大家要怎麼去「詮釋」這些資訊 (跟我們時常在說的 “framing” 有關)。
絕大部分台灣官員出去演講的時候,是完全沒有核心論述的,就只有提供一堆人家沒興趣也永遠不會記得的 information。
Can you spell B-O-R-I-N-G?
引用對方可以體會的經歷
講完一些硬一點的議題之後,她把話題帶到比較個人的層面:
I’m an ambassador now, I work in Washington, DC, but I used to be like you, I came from a legislature in Taiwan, I understand that all politics are local. And when we go back to our constituents, we wanna deliver on economic progress, we wanna deliver on the common values that we share.
說到個人經歷,突然感覺比較輕鬆,溫和對不對?這是一種非常好跟聽眾建立連結的方式,畢竟不是每一位外交官,都有跟聽眾同樣的經歷,所以她很會利用自己的強項。
但她這麼說,可是有目的:把聽眾的注意力帶到 “economic progress for constituents” 之後,她馬上用大家可以理解的數字,提醒聽眾台灣對美國「地方經濟」的重要性:
We’re in the State of Utah now, [Taiwan’s] size is only 15% the size of Utah, but we are the 8th largest consumer of US agricultural products in the world.
然後還不忘轉換成人均的數字!
Which means, per capita wise, each Taiwanese citizen is the second largest consumer — per capita wise — the second largest consumer of American agricultural products.
蠻厲害的對不對?但這樣還沒有結束喔!
★★★★★★★★★★★★

state council 在 護台胖犬 劉仕傑 Facebook 的最讚貼文
我不是執政黨的一員,但在外交上,我言所當言,該批評的我會批評,但該捍衛的,我也會捍衛。
尤其是談到台灣的民主價值時,我向來認為,這是台灣社會的最大公約數,理應不分朝野。
蕭美琴 Bi-khim Hsiao大使日前在「全美議會交流理事會」(American Legislative Exchange Council, ALEC)發表演講,我看了完整影片,感觸很深。
ALEC基本上是全美各州州議員組成的跨黨派組織,過去我在美國工作時,便曾經籌組新墨西哥州(New Mexico State)議會訪團訪問台灣。
當然,州議員不是聯邦參眾議員,就好比市議員跟立委的政治重要性不同。州議員是非常地方的,正如蕭大使在演講中所說,她在台灣的從政起點也是來自地方,All politics are local(所有的政治都來自地方)。
但全美各州州議員的地方政務,向來是我們駐美各辦事處的工作重點。每一年,我們駐美外交人員都會進洽州議會通過友我決議案,內容不外乎支持台灣參與國際組織、推動台美雙邊經貿及教育交流等。
蕭美琴在演講中有三點讓我很感動。
第一,她言必稱Taiwan。
她並沒有說她來自Republic of China。
這很好啊!我們對外,就是Taiwan,多講Taiwan的名, #以台灣為名 。Taiwan很好聽,一點都不尷尬。
如果可以,我希望我們全部的大使或代表在演講時,盡量只用Taiwan自稱。
第二,蕭美琴說,中共的生氣門檻很低,連台灣選手在奧運場上打敗中國選手,他們都會生氣。
語畢,全場大笑。
全美各州的議員聽著,心中何嘗不明白。
就因為無論台灣做什麼,中共都會生氣,那為何台灣有些人,卻總是對中共展現軟弱態度,老是怕中共生氣呢?甚至,為了怕中共生氣,一廂情願地說:「只要有 #九二共識,中共就不會生氣了」
是這樣嗎?
我就是在說 #江啟臣 跟 #羅智強 們。
江啟臣昨天在中國時報刊半版廣告,說「貨出去,人進來,發大財」。
親愛的國民黨,「貨出去,人進來」,不如「飛彈撤下來」。究竟何時,國民黨才會開始懂了?
第三,蕭美琴說,如果美國社會質疑孔子學院,那台灣絕對是最好學中文的選項。在台灣,美國學生在推特上要推什麼都可以,不會因為一則推文就去坐牢。
台灣的言論自由,台灣使用社群媒體的自由,台灣在民主及人權的價值高地,這些都是我們跟中國之間天高地遠的差距所在。
我不是執政黨的一員,我也會批評執政黨這裡做不好哪裡做不對。
但台灣的外交不應分朝野。
如果藍營人士眼睛老是只盯著中南海的鼻孔,卻不願走到國際看看這個世界,甚至三不五時做些送花籃給駐外代表的無聊舉動,那永遠不會得到多數台灣人民的支持。
「貨出去,人進來」,不如「飛彈撤下來」。台灣人民,要的就是那麼簡單而已。
國民黨黨主席候選人們,別老是看著中南海。
台灣,才是我們的家。

#我駐美代表處更名臺灣代表處?
英國的金融時報報導,美國正考慮將我國駐美代表處的名稱,從 #臺北經濟文化辦事處 更名為 #臺灣代表處。
其實在國民黨執政時期,我國對外館的名稱就有幾個不同的等級,最高等級當然希望採用中華民國大使館/辦事處,再來就是臺灣代表處,再往下才是臺北經濟文化辦事處。
如果更名成功,當然是臺美關係很大的一個進展,對於我們推動 #兩岸雙重承認,也是一個成功的方向。
--
The Biden administration is moving towards allowing Taipei to change the name of its representative office in Washington to include the word “Taiwan”, a move likely to trigger an angry response from Beijing.
Multiple people briefed on internal US discussions said Washington was seriously considering a request from Taiwan to change the name of its mission in the US capital from “Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office” (Tecro) to “Taiwan Representative Office”.
Kurt Campbell, White House Asia adviser, has backed the change, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions. One said the request had wide support inside the National Security Council and from state department Asia officials.

The Real Threat to the US is the loss of self-confidence
──An Open Letter to Mr. Secretary Mike Pompeo
My name is Wang Ping-Chung, the spokesperson for the New Party, Taiwan’s political party. During the ongoing pandemic of the Covid-19, the enemy of all human beings, including the American people and Chinese people, is definitely the corona virus. However, as Secretary of State of the United States, you seem to consider China instead of the virus to be your enemy. It lets you do little in pandemic prevention but much in blaming the WHO and China. You have even made great efforts to politicalize the issue of public health in order to attack China, which reflects the United States’ prevailing concept of so-called China’s threat. Nevertheless, the real threat to the US is not China but the loss of self-confidence indeed.
As President Franklin Roosevelt once said, “Only thing we have to fear is the fear itself.” The threat you have to fear today is not other peoples but yourselves. Even though you have done your best to shift blames on the WHO and China, the fact is already clear of the US domestic misdiagnosed cases, which had been seen as H1N1 but in fact corona virus since last autumn. It is also your fault in underestimating the severity of the epidemic while China sacrificed itself to let the world have more preparation time. Accordingly, the Covid-19 has killed more than fifty thousand people in America. As China’s population is four times larger than the US, it is quite shocking that America’s death toll due to the Covid-19 has been above China’s.
I feel so sorry for the suffering of your people, yet it is never too late to mend. However, not only did you palm off the responsibility on others, but you also undermined international solidarity against the pandemic. Moreover, you even try to deny the status of the WHO as the coordinator for universal combat against diseases, which in some way means challenging the global institutions under the governance of the United Nations. It is so unbelievable that the United States, viewing itself as the world leader above half a century, is tending to destroy the world order recognized by the international society. The very reason I can think of is the loss of America’s self-confidence. It is the threat to both the US and the whole world.
For Liberalists in the United States, China has been believed either an opponent or a violator to international institutions. As far as it’s concerned, there had been debates whether to keep containing China economically and militarily or engaging it institutionally. Both were resulted from America’s confidence in its leadership. Consequently, the confidence gradually changed into arrogance, luring the United States into aggressions upon other countries as the global superpower without permission from the UN Security Council. It made America exhausted at last. Therefore, the United States has become an isolationist, and even a betrayer to the global institutions they established before. On the contrary, China seems more like a protector of the world order.
On the other hand, for Realists, the predominant thinkers in international politics, China has been seen as the primary rival to America. As they estimate there will be threat if any other regional hegemony occurs, the nation’s fear becomes beyond what its capability can hold. To some extent, this is the real crisis to your people. In fact, different from western nations developing themselves by oppressing and exploiting others, the Chinese people have risen out of poverty at the cost of blood, sweat, and tears of our own. I would like to remind you of Franklin Roosevelt’s self-evident words that nothing to fear but fear itself. The only threat you should conquer is the threat in your mind.
As Henry Kissinger has argued, relations between China and the United States need not – and should not – become a zero-sum game. He also suggested that China and America build a Pacific community with each other. Thinking in the same way, Chinese President Xi also claimed that the vast Pacific Ocean has enough space for the two large countries of China and the United States. Furthermore, I believe the world is large enough to embrace different political and social systems. As western liberalism in recent years has met difficulties in over-consumption and government failure, we should be more open-minded to the superiority of Chinese governance in some fields, especially the high efficiency in defeating the epidemic. The United States should also be more self-confident to have China rising under the global governance of international institutions, sharing with mutual benefits instead of destroying each other. Without doubt, only by doing so can the United States overcome the real threat and bring the world peace and prosperity, the real universal values for all mankind.
state council 在 Daphne Iking Youtube 的精選貼文
I was delighted to meet the Jitilon family who heads the initiative by Gamut - Forever Sabah in managing organic waste and turning it into high quality compost.
There are numerous flaws and inefficiencies associated with Sabah’s current waste disposal model. At present organic waste produced by Penampang District is mixed with inorganic waste such as plastics etc. and sent to a nearby landfill. Disposing of waste in this way is costly both in terms of carbon emissions and wasted taxpayer dollars. Additionally, as it decomposes organic waste produces a gas which is high in methane, a greenhouse gas that is contributing to climate change. Waste contains valuable minerals that can be used to increase crop yields without dependence on synthetic fertilisers. Numerous local stakeholders have expressed interest in using this valuable resource more efficiently including the hawker association of Penampang’s wet market (PENAJA) and a representative from the Penampang District Council. This project will construct a composting centre in Donggongon Township, Penampang in order to reduce the transportation expenses and increase accessibility to the general public. The project will begin by collecting waste from two local markets but ultimately aims to expand its activities and serve as a model to other markets throughout the state.
