做图表从来离不开PPT,是大家都喜欢PPT吗?恐怕是不得已。如今的职场,大会小会到要搞个PPT,有人说如果你开会没有PPT,简直就象赤身裸体走进了会议室,好形象的比喻。
最近,一个老外写了个很无聊的贴子:PPT就象胸罩的10个理由,另一个女老外写了个更无聊的反驳贴子:PPT不象胸罩的32个理由,而我居然更无聊地翻译了这两个贴子!大家权当周末轻松一下吧。
注意,如果我们把贴子里的“PPT”换成“图表”来读,也是一样适用滴:),并且贴子中提到的问题,对我们做图表也都是很有益处的。
The Top 10 Reasons a Powerpoint Slidedeck is Just Like a Bra.
PPT就象胸罩的10个理由
10. It is often used out of habit or insecurity - but there are plenty of situations where it only gets in the way
它们经常是出于习惯或无把握而被使用-但很多情形下它们只是障碍而已
9. It's possible to send one by mail, but it is empty and lifeless, so why bother?
可以邮寄一个,但它是空的、无生气的,要它有何用?
8. Technical troubles will occur at the most embarassing moments
技术问题总是出现在最尴尬的时刻--绝!想想明星们在红地毯上掉胸罩的样子
7. Too much decoration can distract from content
太多的装饰可能导致分心--PPT如此,图表尤其如此
6. It's certainly pretty, but do you really want someone else's design to cover up your uniqueness?
它是很漂亮,但你真想让别人的设计来掩盖你的唯一性吗
5. People usually try to fit too much inside**
人们总是想往里面装太多的东西--绝!图表中数据不要太多
4. People think they need the support, but forget it's a restriction too
人们以为他们需要支持,但忘记了它们也是限制
3. Given confidence, you will often make a bigger impact without one
只要有信心,你经常会制造更大的影响,即使没有它们
2. You can borrow or steal someone else's, but it will never fit like your own
你可以借或窃取别人的,但它永远不会适合你自己的(东东)
and finally..
1. It may look basically similar, but you should NEVER confuse it with the Real Thing
它也许看起来很象,但你千万不要把它和真的东西搞混--不要以为看起来大(漂亮),就以为内容也好!
