第14章 对外英语广播的主持艺术——“硬新闻”(13)

Round 2-Space-sharing

Li Liying:Today we are going to talk about an issue relating to morality.It leads to a question:Should the driver go directly to the police station or just stop to let the passengers get off if there is a theif in the bus?Let's see their performance.

Wang Zhuoran:I think the driver has the right to forbid passengers getting off the bus.Before the thief is found out,everyone is under the suspicion.They have the duty to cooperate with policeman to find out the truth.If there are some passengers who are in the emerging situation like go to the hospital or train station,they can get off the car on the condition of being free from the suspicion.For example,they need to be searched and inquired by the policeman.

Li Yanjie:I don't totally agree with you because I think it is kind of thing that depends on.If there were a pregnant woman who was on her way to hospital or there were a man who suffered a heart disease.In that circumstance I think the driver should stop the bus and let this kind of people gei off the bus.Sometimes what you have lost or stolen just are money or phones,compared with life that is meaningless.As we always say that we live in a harmonious society.That's why we should measure this kind of event in a balanced way.We should be ready to lend a hand at any moment.

Song Xuan:I think the bus driver really has the right to keep on going when there's a thief on the bus.People are not so warm-hearted nowadays.The bus driver is trying to be responsible as a citizen.And from the other hand,it is basically considered on the sense of moral attitude.As one of the members in the city,we have the obligations to defense the order of society.Yes,maybe someone Would be late for their work if the driver didn't stop While to think about it on contrary,if it were you whose things were stolen,could you stand the indifferent reactions of other people?If you could hand up to help others today,you might gain helps one day from others as well,maybe tomorrow.But what I have to say more is about the transportation system which needs the government to change the situation.I believe that one day the more perfect bus security system is the less such kind of cases exist.And it is also one of the requests of today's world.

Wang Zhuoran:The key point is that we should establish the awareness that no matter who is in the trouble,we have the responsibility to help him/her instead of standing by with folded arms.

Shi Jinhua:OK,I get the result of the《Space sharing》 Congratulations on XXX&;YYY's scores,you both have entered the semifinal phase.And ZZZ shoudn't feel discouraged.You still have a chance to demonstrate your talents at the third round《Back Me Up》.We are looking forward to your performance.

Li Liying:OK!Ladies and gentlmen,now let's start the third round.

[评点]

由于这个环节所设内容具有的民众共鸣性,所以,对其展开的议论和争辩都会形成“值得一听”的效果。然而,也就是因为这一点,会使得形成“这一个”的效果具有一定的难度。就笔者对在实训中演示的这个环节来说,这三位参加实训的受训者基本上完成了任务。

首先,她们掌握了语言组织的结构。实际上,这个环节的实训出发点具有“即兴评述”的特点,但是,真正的任务是在有几分钟的准备后完成的,也就是英语中的“extemsporaneous(半即兴)”而非“impromptu(即兴)”。所以,这三位同学的口语化语言呈现体还是完整的,只是有些句子还是稍显“书面语”背诵的痕迹。

其次,她们在议论过程当中的表现,观点交锋是值得赞许的。因为做到有理有据地交流,是需要既具“锋芒”又无“攻击”性。这在日常的节目里,由于还没有这样的节目类型,所以,主持人们还是“温文尔雅”或扮演自家“主人”而与“来客”之恭敬聊天儿的模式。这就失去了“新闻人”的锐气和直逼新闻事实的风采。

最后,她们在直播情境里的仪态是得体的。这个环节的设计目的,毕竟是对主持人素质的全方位“扫描记录”的,也是为了通过记录,来让实训者们直观地看到自己的表现存在的“到位”与“失误”的点点滴滴。由于三人都为女性,就更使“扫描”的镜头显得苛刻起来。不仅要聚焦她们的神态是否是在进行真正的议论而非背词,还要放大她们边说边想形成的手势及身姿,更要解释她们从头到脚的“行头”是否适宜。就这些最容易出现“失误”的方面来看,她们基本上过了“关”。

总之,三位女生在实训过程中的展示,不仅没有因为都是女性而形成“叽叽喳喳”的“闹心”状态,反而是达到了三人的“各显风采”、“相互辉映”的怡人效果。当然,笔者知道这是在她们作为组员关系的前提下而精心准备后的结果。如果是真正的“extemsporaneous”的话会是怎样的呢?笔者是有期待的,也对她们已经拥有了对方法和原理掌握了的学习结果的欣慰。

[笔者主观映象]

对于这个环节在笔者主观映象里形成的新的“成品”,似乎没有太多的不同。但是有一点是应该加以补充的,即:三位呈现人所具有的“个人化”而非“主持人化”的表现。看到这里可能会有读者提出:这不是“主持人大赛”的一个环节吗?为什么还应避免出现“主持人”的状态呢?这是因为,这个环节里的三位议论人在镜头前,实际上并不是以主持人身份出现的,也不是在呈现主持这一环节的能力,而是要让受众评判自己的思辨和逻辑综合能力,也就是自己对新闻一体的反应、评论的敏感度。所以,在实训呈现时,当自己得到话语权时,不要表现为是在主持节目,是为了顾及到受众而看镜头,应该在三个人形成的谈话“气场”里关注与自己交流的对象。如此,就符合了这个环节的设计要求。

谈到这一点,也就触及到了在真正驾驭节目时的一个问题了。实际上,即便是在一线出镜的主持人,如果是与面对面的演播室嘉宾进行交流的话,在谈话的过程中也是不应时不时看看镜头的,而应集中注意力聆听嘉宾的话语,最令大家熟悉的方法就是“看着说话人的眼睛”。

Round 3-Back Me Up

ShiaJinhua:Right now,we come to the Back Me Up.Every contestant who is eliminated should make full use of the last half minute to get the last opportunity.Good luck!

Zhan Qiang:Athough I have prepared a lot,I know that I can not make things just as well as I have expected.So all I wanted is to try my best,and all I hoped is your surpport.Now altough I am failed in the first round,I have already tried my best and I hope you can give me your support.If you give the chance to the next round,I am sure you can see my progress.Thank you very much.I have learnt a lot from this practice.Firstly,I realized that my vocabulary is really poor.And to be a correspondent,the most important qaulity is to have a strong ability of language.So I have to learn more English in order to speak freely.Secondly,facing the camera,I was too nervous to do the report.My mind just bacome blank.I do not know why I was so nervous.Maybe I was too afraid of making mistakes.But this kind of thought led me to make even more mistakes.I know if I want to overcome it,the only thing I have to do is to practise.Last but not least,my voice is so childish that I can not get in the state of a correspondent.That is one of the reasons which make me lack of self-confidence.I keep trying to change it.And when I speak English I think I should ignore the sound of my voice on purpose from which I can find my self-confidence back.
