所谓公众演说，顾名思义，就是在公众的场合面对公众发表言论的一种演说形式。简单的说，就是在公众面前就某一问题发表自己的见解，其特点是：第一，它是在人与人之间进行的；第二，它有一定的时间性；第三，它是为了阐述某一问题后整理而开展的；第四，它带有一定的鼓动性和说服性。从古至今，由中到外，无数的著名演讲家通过演讲激励着世人，无数的演讲家通过演讲走上了政治舞台。然而，如何才能为听众呈现一场生动形象的、幽默风趣、吸引听众并且又给听众留下深刻影响的演讲呢？许多演讲者都有过这样的经历，在还未上讲台演讲，手心就开始冒冷汗，心跳加速，手足无措等，而上了讲台后，有些人更是会精神紧张，恐惧不安，辞不达意，甚至有的会将背熟的演讲稿忘掉的一干二净，大脑一片空白，张口结舌，说不出话来。公众演讲中，演讲者难免还会面对许许多多的突发情况，或者来自听众的反面声音等等，所以说演讲是对演讲者心理素质适应性的严峻考验。那么我们要如何控制演讲中的紧张恐惧呢？针对这个问题我提出了一些看法和见解，本文将主要着重于演讲中遇到的紧张问题进行讨论，以及如何正确控制演说者的情绪紧张等问题展开分析讨论，希望可以对有演讲恐惧的人们有所帮助。

The public speaking, as its name implies, is a way of making your ideas public—of sharing them with other people and of influencing other people. Simply speaking, it is to make a comment on a certain issue in public. And it has 4 characteristics: the first one is that it is happening between man and man. The second one is that it has a certain sense of time. The next one is that it is established aiming to illustrate a problem. Then, the last one is that it is motivated and persuasive. Since ancient times, the numerous famous speakers from all over the world inspired the people of the world by delivering the speeches. And countless speakers step onto the stage of politics by speech. However, how can we present a vivid, humorous, attractive and expressed speech for the audience? Many speakers may have such experience. They not going up the stage yet, their hands begin to sweat, and heartbeat is speeding up, and they begin to feel helpless. However, after going up the stage, someone will be more nervous, more frightened, and more incoherent, and even some people will forget their speech script completely, and then become speechless. In the public speaking, speakers will inevitably face many unexpected situations, or the negative voice from the audience, so the speech is a severe test of the speaker’s adaptability of psychological quality. So how do we control the fear of nervousness in speech? As for these problems, I put forward some views and ideas of my own. This article will focus on discussing the problems of nervousness appearing in public speaking, and how to properly control the speaker’s emotional nervousness. I hope it can help those people who have a fear of public speaking. 

Public speaking, in this modern society of psychological civilization, has become an important way of inspiring the common people and influencing people. “One who forms a judgment on any point but cannot explain it clearly might as well never have thought at all on the subject.”----Greek leader: Pericles.

Public speaking can and often does make a difference in things people care about very much. To mention just a few situations, you might give a presentation at an international conference, a product demonstration to global buyers, a toast at a dinner in honor of foreign guests, or a tour of a Chinese historic site for overseas friends or associates. 

In the previous paragraph, I have introduced the definition of nervousness. Now, I’m going to make a more specific introduction to the nervousness in public speaking. As I said before, nervousness is normal. And everyone gets nervous when speaking in public. Therefore, we have to conquer it and get through it. Once we defeat the nervousness inside us, we can make a good use of it rather than be influence by it. 

Everyone gets nervous when speaking on the stage. This is a normal phenomenon in public speaking. But what are the reasons that people get nervous on the stage? I conclude 4 reasons here. The first one is that the speaker didn’t prepare well before the speech. And the second one is the speaker expectation of perfection. Then the third one is that speaker takes it too seriously of the speech. In addition, the last one is that the speaker cannot make the speech itself easy and normal. In summary, the nervousness of the speech is imagined by speakers and magnified by speakers. And we should know that no nervousness can stop a confident speaker.

Overall, we have known the basic knowledge of public speaking and the solutions of nervousness through this article. Hope it can help readers or peers or all the speech lovers improve the ability of public speaking. Besides, on one hand, we have discussed the nervousness found in public speaking in this paper. And to some extent, we have solved some of the problems frequently found in public speaking. In addition, I believe there must be much more problems in public speaking waiting to be solved by us. On the other hand, as for public speaking, there must be many aspects to be improved, so I hope this paper can be continued, and more and more people can get in this field to help the speakers faced with difficulties.
