做presentation时，若能提供看得见的数据，再给观众一些具体可及的线索，那样这场presentation就成功一半了。目前，Daphne就筹备了一些显眼有力的幻灯片来增强presentation的成效。
I have prepared a short slide presentation to give you a picture of the Taiwanese market. Please direct your attention to the screen behind me while I dim the lights.
我筹备了一段简短的幻灯片，让各位对台湾市场有个知道。目前我把灯光调暗，请大伙看我背后的屏幕。
The Taipei area, with a population of six million people, is the trendsetter for Taiwan As you can see from these photos of people in the business area, both men and women are very style-conscious. They have an eye for glamour1 and good looks, and are willing to spend money to get the look they want. This next slide shows the beauty section of a typical drugstore; lots of famous brands from Japan, Europe, and the United States, plus a broad range of domestic2 brands. Gentlemen, this is without a doubt a competitive3 market.
拥有六百万人口的台北区域，是台湾时尚趋势的创造者。从这几张商业区大家的照片可以看出，不管男女都非常重视打扮，对魔力和美貌的怎么看也非常独特，而且舍得烧钱塑造自己想要的外表。下面这张是一家典型购物中心的美容用品区，有数十种来自日本、欧洲和美国的名牌商品，与台湾当地商品。各位，毫无疑问地，这真是一个角逐激烈的市场！
Moving on to Taipei's hairstyling salons4... hmm, that slide seems to have been placed upside down. I'm sorry for the delay; it will only take a moment to flip5 the slide... There, that's better. As I was saying...
下面看看台北的美容美发店，咦，这张幻灯片好像放倒了。非常抱歉，耽误一下，立刻就好好了，正如我刚刚所说的
Notes:
1. style-conscious 注意打扮的
style有时髦；风格；品格之讲解，在这里则偏向时尚（样式）的意思。conscious，有自觉的的意思。这两个词合成一个形容词，指注意时尚风尚的，引申为着重外表打扮的。
She was so style-conscious; she read every fashion magazine she could find.
她很重视打扮，每一本时髦杂志她都看。
2. have an eye for 对有独到的见地
Eye的意思并不仅有双眼，也可指眼光；察看力，在此是指赏析事物的能力，与appreciation同义。这个词组表示某个人对某方面的事物或人有独特而正确的鉴赏能力，可以看出其他人所没办法知道的价值。而另一个使用方法一样的have an ear for意思是对（音乐、声音）有独到的鉴赏力。
When I was young, I had an eye for pretty girls. In fact, I became an expert on the subject.
我年轻的时候，对漂亮的女生有独到的见地；事实上，我变成了这方面的专家。
3. without a doubt 毫无疑问
Doubt 可当动词、名词用，意思是疑问、怀疑， without则是没，合在一块是副词词组，表示毫无疑问。这个词组也可替换成 certainly 或 surely，但语气比这两个词强烈得多。
Without a doubt you have hepatitis--the blood test proves it.
你无疑是患了肝炎--血液测试证实了这一点。

在开始放幻灯片或投影片等视听辅助器材之前，需要提醒在场的观众，请他们注意。Please direct your attention to...是个直接又常见的说法。

Presentation中用视听辅助器材时，偶尔会发生些小问题，假如那个问题是在场者都知道得到的，就应立即大方道歉。
特别提示
你相信一张图胜于千言万语吧?!事实上，图片不但和人一样能说话，有时还更具备说服力。因此presentation时假如能当令地佐以适合的视听媒体，必能将说明烘托得更精彩。
演讲者的presentation内容若较着重于文字、重点、标题或草图的交代时，较合适选择以白板作为presentation媒体。
在presentation时，演讲者以投影片作为presentation媒体的优点为可以不关灯，在室内正常光线下展示投影片，但没办法投射不透明的图片，而且放映的影像常有变形的现象
