初中關於講故事的英語作文及翻譯

In previous articles on this blog we have shared our experience regarding the use of storytelling asone of the most powerful leadership tools available to modern leaders. It’s really no surprise, sinceleaders throughout the ages have used personal stories, parable and anecdotes effectively toensure that listeners could easily absorb and integrate information, knowledge, values andstrategies.

在這個專欄打頭的幾篇文章中，我們已經分享了一些現代領導者如何將講故事作爲一種最強大領導力工具的經驗。這並不出奇，古往今來的領導者都曾使用個人故事、寓言和軼事來幫助聽衆有效地吸取和整合信息、知識、價值與策略。

Beyond merely understanding the power of stories, however, there remains the need for specificaction and commitment to become a storyteller. I hear people say: “Sure, I can see your pointabout telling stories…but do I really need to make the effort to become a storyteller myself? Itdoesn’t seem to come naturally to me.” My answer is always something like: “Yes, I there was also a time when walking, reading and writing, typing and using a computerprogram seemed unnatural. But when you clearly understood ‘why’ learning these skills was worththe time, you simply got busy and did it. Right?”

除了要懂得故事的力量，我們還需要知道怎樣做才能成爲一個會講故事的人。我曾聽人說過：“當然，我明白講故事的意義，但我是否要付出一定努力，才能使自己變成一個會講故事的`人？這種能力貌似不是自然生成的。”我總會回答說：“是的，我理解。曾幾何時，直立行走、讀書寫字、使用電腦也曾經是非常不自然的事。不過，一旦明白了‘爲什麼’學習這些技能是值得的，你就會很樂意這樣做。對嗎？”

So in this article I want to remind readers of the compelling reasons why it is worth your time tobecome an effective storyteller, in the hopes that more managers and leaders will just get busylearning to tell stories instead of just spewing out information, directives and platitudes. Here aresome of the many reasons why it is so worth it for you to decide, today, to become a greatstoryteller in 2015 and for the rest of your life:

因此，在本文中，我想告訴讀者，花點時間努力成爲一個會講故事的人，具有令人信服的理由。但願更多的經理人和領導者能夠學會講故事，而不是乾巴巴地擺數據、定方向、說一些陳辭濫調。接下來，我就給你說說爲什麼你應該在2015年、乃至餘下的整個人生中，成爲一個會講故事的人。
