Tutor: OK, now let's think about actually giving the presentation.

导师：好的，现在让我们来考虑一下实际的陈述报告。

You've only given one before, if I remember correctly, about an experiment you'd been involved in.

如果我没记错的话，你之前只做过一次关于你参与的实验的陈述报告。

Russ: That's right. It was pretty rubbish!

拉斯：没错。那真的很糟糕！

Tutor: Let's say it was better in some respects than in others.

导师：我们说它在某些方面比其他方面好。

With regard to the structure, I felt that you ended rather abruptly, without rounding it off.

关于结构，我觉得你结束得很突然，没有总结收尾。

Be careful not to do that in next week's presentation.

注意不要在下周的演讲中这样做。

Russ: OK.

拉斯：好的。

Tutor:And you made very little eye contact with the audience, because you were looking down at your notes most of the time.

导师：你和观众的目光接触很少，因为你大部分时间都是看着你的笔记。

You need to be looking at the audience and only occasionally glancing at your notes.

你需要看着听众，只是偶尔看看你的笔记。

Russ: Mmm.

拉斯：嗯。

Tutor: Your body language was a little odd.

导师：你的肢体语言有点奇怪。

Every time you showed a slide, you turned your back on the audience so you could look at it - you should have been looking at your laptop.

每次你放映幻灯片的时候，你都背对着观众，这样你就可以看幻灯片了——你应该一直看着你的笔记本电脑。

And you kept scratching your head, so I found myself wondering when you were next going to do that, instead of listening to what you were saying!

你一直在挠头，所以我发现我会去想你下一次什么时候挠头，而不是去听你在说什么！

Russ: Oh dear. What did you think of the language?

拉斯：哦，天哪。您觉得那次报告中我的语言怎么样？

I knew that not everyone was familiar with the subject, so I tried to make it as simple as I could.

我知道不是每个人都熟悉这个题目，所以我尽可能地使用简单些的语言。

Tutor: Yes, that came across.

导师：是的，我发现了。

You used a few words that are specific to the field, but you always explained what they meant, so the audience wouldn't have had any difficulty understanding.

你使用了一些特定领域的词汇，但你总是解释它们的含义，这样听众就不会有任何理解上的困难。

Russ: Uh-huh.

拉斯：嗯。

Tutor: I must say the handouts you prepared were well thought out.

导师：我得说你准备的讲义是经过深思熟虑的。

They were a good summary of your presentation, which people would be able to refer to later on.

它们是对你的演讲的一个很好的总结，人们以后可以参考。

So well done on that.

做得很好。

Russ: Thank you.

拉斯：谢谢您。

Tutor: Well, I hope that helps you with next week's presentation.

导师：嗯，我希望这对你下周的报告有帮助。

Russ: Yes, it will. Thanks a lot.

拉斯：是的，会的。非常感谢。

Tutor: I'll look forward to seeing a big improvement, then.

导师：那么，我期待看到你的巨大进步。
