法助動詞 B1

Speech writing must be one of the weirdest jobs in the world.

様態の副詞

No matter how carefully  the words have been prepared,

程度の副詞

you are never quite sure  how they are gonna be delivered.

and I was watching one of my clients,  who is a big Australian businessman,

deliver a speech that I'd written for him.

I'd written for him this passage,  kind of with Winston Churchill in mind,

about how we've got to fight for our future,

fight to protect our position,  fight our competitors.

And I'd forgotten  about the Australian accent.

And I watched from the back of the room  with horror as I saw him go,

"We've got to 'fart' for our future, 'fart' to protect our position,

and I'll tell you what, folks,  when I wake up every morning,

there is one thing I know for sure  I'm gonna do that day; 'fart'!"

So today I'm gonna share with you  some speechwriter secrets.

but there is a secret language of leadership;

a secret language of leadership  that we all used to be taught at school.

This was a core part of the curriculum in Ancient Rome, part of the trivium.

In London, right the way  through to the 19th century,

it was possible to get a free education in rhetoric, but not in mathematics,

reflecting the importance  that was placed on the topic.

Today, teaching in rhetoric is restricted; restricted to a powerful, privileged few.

So what I'm gonna do in my speech is revive this ancient art of rhetoric

and share with you six techniques  so that you can all speak like leaders.

That's because I'm mimicking,  hyperventilating.

This is an ancient Roman  rhetorical device;

the worst financial crisis  in a generation.

Well, three is the magic number in rhetoric.

"Government of the people,  by the people, for the people."

(In German)  "One people, one empire, one leader."

(In Italian)  "Eat well, laugh often, love much."

That was the hardest part of this speech to practice,

This is also an ancient Roman  rhetorical device.

which makes it sound like  a peculiar part of the digestive system.

it makes it sound more compelling,  more convincing, more credible.

And so we find the rule of three  here, there, and everywhere.

And so indeed you can tell the history of Verona

through nothing more  than the rule of three.

If you think that Caesar used to come here 2,000 years ago,

"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?"

far and away the most momentous event in Verona's history -

Three sentences in which  the opening clause is repeated.

Now this is what Winston Churchill did with his,

we shall fight on the fields  and in the streets."

Of course, he could have said this  a whole lot quicker.

But he wanted to communicate his emotion, so he repeated it.

When we are emotional about things,  our perspective distorts.

And so this is the authentic sound of passion.
