Now let's look at some things you should not do. All right?
现在我们来看看在演示中不应该做的。
Don't use abbreviations, or acronyms, or short forms of names of organizations or anything else from your country which other people are not familiar with. Right?
不要使用缩写、首字母缩写、组织名称缩写或是只有本国人才熟悉的缩写。
Say the entire name and then afterwards you can use the abbreviation once you have explained it.
先说出全称，在你对此全称做过解释后，方可使用缩写。
You also want to avoid jargon. Now, what is jargon?
同样还要避免使用行话。那么什么是行话呢？
Jargon is the special kind of language that people who are in a special, in a particular field use when they speak to each other.
行话是在某一特别、特殊领域中才会使用的某种术语。
So for example: if you listen to computer guys speaking to each other, you will feel like you landed on another planet because they speak language that only they can understand.
例如：如果你听一些程序员谈话，你会觉得你是在另外一个星球上，因为他们说的语言只有他们能懂。
So when you're speaking to a general audience, you want to avoid using jargon.
所以，当你的听众是一群普通观众时，就避免使用行话吧。
Just use regular plain English to explain what you mean, that way you will reach more members of your audience. Okay?
就使用常用直白的英语解释你的用意，这样能使更多听众听得明白。
Also, make sure you avoid slang.
还有避免使用俚语。
Even though you might hear native English speakers using slang in their presentations, it's best that you don't use it, especially if you're not familiar with how to use it.
虽然你会听到一些英语母语人士在演示时使用俚语，但是你最好不要用，特别是当你对其用法并不熟悉的时候。
The worst thing is when we hear non-native English speakers using slang in an incorrect way because that doesn't sound professional at all. All right?
当我们听到一位英语非母语人士错误地使用了俚语时，就感觉最糟糕，因为这样听起来一点也不专业。
And another point is to avoid crutch words. Now, what's a crutch word? For that you have to know: what's a crutch?
下一点是要避免口头禅。什么是口头禅？首先，你得知道什么是crutch。
Well, crutches are what people use... you know, for example:
crutch就是人们使用的，例如：
if someone has broken their leg, they might use something like this to walk along and they,
如果某人摔断腿了，他们会使用像这样的东西帮助行走，
these crutches, these sticks support them while they're walking let's say with a broken leg. Right?
就像拐杖，这种拐杖可以帮助他们行走。
Similarly, when people are nervous, they sometimes use sounds instead of words while they're thinking of the right thought or word.
同样，当人们感觉紧张时，他们会在思考时，发出一些声音而非单词。
So they might say: Mm, ah, for example, uh, like, uh, yeah and things like that.
他们可能会说：嗯、啊、嗯啊、比如、是的，诸如此类。
These are crutch words and they're often used by people who are not sure what word to say next.
这些就是口头禅，当人们不知道接下来该说什么的时候就会用到这些词。
So avoid crutch words or sounds. Silence is okay if you're thinking.
所以要避免这些口头禅或类似的音词。如果你在思考的话，沉默就行。
So while you're thinking, try to keep your mouth closed and avoid these crutch sounds.
因此，当你在思考的时候，试着闭上嘴巴，避免发出这些声音。
