一罐小小的 Suavitos 調味料,
life and limb to promote this thing.
只為了推銷這東西。
those little Suavitos baking spices
to be fired up about presentations.
我在簡報時會很激動的。
to change the world
有效地透過簡報來溝通,
effectively through them.
with one single idea.
是不會發生改變的。
or it won't be effective.
the most effectively is through story.
就是透過故事來傳遞。
their values and their culture
把他們的價值觀與文化
about a story structure
有什麼神奇的地方,
you get a physical reaction;
"Oh, I got a chill down my spine"
in the pit of my stomach."
when someone is telling us a story.
我們真的會有身體反應。
a story can be told,
也可以說故事,
it completely flatlines.
with rapt attention during a story,
我們會全神貫注,
incorporate story into presentations.
back at the shop --
of presentations, actually,
of a really bad presentation.
and figure out what was going on
some of the findings

裡面就有些很有趣的真知卓见。
in an ordinary world,
kind of brought out of balance.
if I want to jump into this,"
from their ordinary world
You're not Luke Skywalker, you're Yoda.
天行者路克,你要當尤達。
that actually helps the audience
and into your new special idea,
it's a three-part structure of a story.
是個三部份的故事結構。
and that's the basic structure.
那就是基本的結構。
a Gustav Freytag's pyramid --
金字塔,我才──
there is a five-act structure,
and a denouement,
or the resolution of the story.
So we talk about shapes.
well, an arc is a shape.
having a shapeliness to it.
if presentations had a shape,
communicators use that shape,
it was a Saturday morning.
it was a couple of years of study --
好幾年的研究之後,
如果這個形狀是真的,
"Oh my gosh, if this shape is real,
two completely different presentations
完全不同的簡報來試,
看看形狀是否相似。」

2007 iPhone launch speech,
的 iPhone 發表演說做比較,
"I've been given this gift,"
it's pretty astounding.
and I want to walk you through it.
我想要帶大家走一遍。
我研究演說、所有的東西──
I went through speeches, everything --
也符合這個形狀。
follows the shape.
you need to establish what is.
你先要說明談什麼主題。
here's what's going on.
to compare that to what could be.
as big as possible,
of the status quo,
with the loftiness of your idea.
here's the past, here's the present,
but look at that problem removed.
let's annihilate the roadblock.
the inciting incident in a movie.
the audience has to contend
with this and align with it or not?"
should support that.
就應該用來支持那想法。
what is and what could be,
and the normal unappealing,
顯得很沒吸引力,
in the future with your idea adopted.
people are going to resist.
過程中,人們會抗拒。
they may love the world the way it is.
他們可能喜歡世界現在的樣子。
have to move back and forth.
and there is wind resistance,
and back and forth.
capture the resistance
if you capture the wind just right
sail faster than the wind itself.
between what is and what can be,
與「將來會如何」,
them towards your idea
between what is and what could be,
與「即將會如何」之間來來回回之後,
is a call to action,
but at the very end.
