opening statement

mr. chairman, senator thurmond, members of the committee, my name is anita f. hill, and i am a professor of law at the university of oklahoma. i was born on a farm in okmulgee county, oklahoma, in 1956. i am the youngest of 13 children. i had my early education in okmulgee county. my father, albert hill, is a farmer in that area. my mother's name is irma hill. she is also a farmer and a housewife.

my childhood was one of a lot of hard work and not much money, but it was one of solid family affection, as represented by my parents. i was reared in a religious atmosphere in the baptist faith, and i have been a member of the antioch baptist church in tulsa, oklahoma, since 1983. it is a very warm part of my life at the present time.

for my undergraduate work, i went to oklahoma state university and graduated from there in 1977. i am attaching to this statement a copy of my resume for further details of my education.

i graduated from the university with academic honors and proceeded to the yale law school, where i received my jd degree in 1980. upon graduation from law school, i became a practicing lawyer with the washington, dc, firm of ward, hardraker, and ross.

in 1981, i was introduced to now judge thomas by a mutual friend. judge thomas told me that he was anticipating a political appointment, and he asked if i would be interested in working with him. he was, in fact, appointed as assistant secretary of education for civil rights. after he had taken that post, he asked if i would become his assistant, and i accepted that position.

in my early period there, i had two major projects. the first was an article i wrote for judge thomas' signature on the education of minority students. the second was the organization of a seminar on high-risk students which was abandoned because judge thomas transferred to the eeoc where he became the chairman of that office.

during this period at the department of education, my working relationship with judge thomas was positive. i had a good deal of responsibility and independence. i thought he respected my work and that he trusted my judgment. after approximately three months of working there, he asked me to go out socially with him.

what happened next and telling the world about it are the two most difficult things -- experiences of my life. it is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration and sleeplenumber -- a great number of sleeplenights tha(t i amable to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone but my close friends.

i declined the invitation to go out socially with him and explained to him that i thought it would jeopardize what at the time i considered to be a very good working relationship. i had a normal social life with other men outside of the office. i believed then, as now, that having a social relationship with a person who was supervising my work would be ill-advised. i was very uncomfortable with the idea and told him so.

i thought that by saying no and explaining my reasons my employer would abandon his social suggestions. however, to my regret, in the following few weeks, he continued to ask me out on several occasions. he pressed me to justify my reasons for saying no to him. these incidents took place in his office or mine. they were in the form of private conversations which would not have been overheard by anyone else.

my working relationship became even more strained when judge thomas began to use work situations to discuse-x. on these occasions, he would call me into his office for reports on education issues and projects, or he might suggest that, because of the time pressures of his schedule, we go to lunch to a government cafeteria. after a brief discussion of work, he would turn the conversation to a discussion of se-xual matters.

his conversations were very vivid. he spoke about acts that he had seen in pornographic films involving such matters as women having se-x with animals and films showing group se-x or rape scenes. he talked about pornographic materials depicting individuals with large penises or large breasts involved in various se-x acts. on several occasions, thomas told me graphically of his own se-xual prowess.

because i was extremely uncomfortable talking about se-x with him at all and particularly in such a graphic way, i told him that i did not want to talk about these subjects. i would also try to change the subject to education matters or to nonse-xual personal matters such as his background or his beliefs. my efforts to change the subject were rarely successful.

throughout the period of these conversations, he also from time to time asked me for social engagements. my reaction to these conversations was to avoid them by eliminating opportunities for us to engage in extended conversations. this was difficult because at the time i was his only assistant at the office of education -- or of

fice for civil rights.

opening statement

mr. chairman, senator thurmond, members of the committee, my name is anita f. hill, and i am a professor of law at the university of oklahoma. i was born on a farm in okmulgee county, oklahoma, in 1956. i am the youngest of 13 children. i had my early education in okmulgee county. my father, albert hill, is a farmer in that area. my mother's name is irma hill. she is also a farmer and a housewife.

my childhood was one of a lot of hard work and not much money, but it was one of solid family affection, as represented by my parents. i was reared in a religious atmosphere in the baptist faith, and i have been a member of the antioch baptist church in tulsa, oklahoma, since 1983. it is a very warm part of my life at the present time.

for my undergraduate work, i went to oklahoma state university and graduated from there in 1977. i am attaching to this statement a copy of my resume for further details of my education.

i graduated from the university with academic honors and proceeded to the yale law school, where i received my jd degree in 1980. upon graduation from law school, i became a practicing lawyer with the washington, dc, firm of ward, hardraker, and ross.

in 1981, i was introduced to now judge thomas by a mutual friend. judge thomas told me that he was anticipating a political appointment, and he asked if i would be interested in working with him. he was, in fact, appointed as assistant secretary of education for civil rights. after he had taken that post, he asked if i would become his assistant, and i accepted that position.

in my early period there, i had two major projects. the first was an article i wrote for judge thomas' signature on the education of minority students. the second was the organization of a seminar on high-risk students which was abandoned because judge thomas transferred to the eeoc where he became the chairman of that office.

during this period at the department of education, my working relationship with judge thomas was positive. i had a good deal of responsibility and independence. i thought he respected my work and that he trusted my judgment. after approximately three months of working there, he asked me to go out socially with him.

what happened next and telling the world about it are the two most difficult things -- experiences of my life. it is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration and sleepless number -- a great number of sleepless nights that i am able to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone but my close friends.

i declined the invitation to go out socially with him and explained to him that i thought it would jeopardize what at the time i considered to be a very good working relationship. i had a normal social life with other men outside of the office. i believed then, as now, that having a social relationship with a person who was supervising my work would be ill-advised. i was very uncomfortable with the idea and told him so.

i thought that by saying no and explaining my reasons my employer would abandon his social suggestions. however, to my regret, in the following few weeks, he continued to ask me out on several occasions. he pressed me to justify my reasons for saying no to him. these incidents took place in his office or mine. they were in the form of private conversations which would not have been overheard by anyone else.

my working relationship became even more strained when judge thomas began to use work situations to discuss sex. on these occasions, he would call me into his office for reports on education issues and projects, or he might suggest that, because of the time pressures of his schedule, we go to lunch to a government cafeteria. after a brief discussion of work, he would turn the conversation to a discussion of sexual matters.

his conversations were very vivid. he spoke about acts that he had seen in pornographic films involving such matters as women having sex with animals and films showing group sex or rape scenes. he talked about pornographic materials depicting individuals with large penises or large breasts involved in various sex acts. on several occasions, thomas told me graphically of his own sexual prowess.

because i was extremely uncomfortable talking about sex with him at all and particularly in such a graphic way, i told him that i did not want to talk about these subjects. i would also try to change the subject to education matters or to nonsexual personal matters such as his background or his beliefs. my efforts to change the subject were rarely successful.

throughout the period of these conversations, he also from time to time asked me for social engagements. my reaction to these conversations was to avoid them by eliminating opportunities for us to engage in extended conversations. this was difficult because at the time i was his only assistant at the office of education -- or office for civil rights.

during the latter part of my time at the department of education, the social pressures and any conversation of his offensive behavior ended. i began both to believe and hope that our working relationship could be a proper, cordial, and professional one.

when judge thomas was made chair of the eeoc, i needed to face the question of whether to go with him. i was asked to do so, and i did. the work itself was interesting, and at that time it appeared that the sexual overtures which had so troubled me had ended. i also faced the realistic fact that i had no alternative job. while i might have gone back to private practice, perhaps in my old firm or at another, i was dedicated to civil rights work, and my first choice was to be in that field. moreover, the department of education itself was a dubious venture. president reagan was seeking to abolish the entire department.

for my first months at the eeoc, where i continued to be an assistant to judge thomas, there were no sexual conversations or overtures. however, during the fall and winter of 1982, these began again. the comments were random and ranged from pressing me about why i didn't go out with him to remarks about my personal appearance. i remember his saying that some day i would have to tell him the real reason that i wouldn't go out with him.

he began to show displeasure in his tone and voice and his demeanor and his continued pressure for an explanation. he commented on what i was wearing in terms of whether it made me more or less sexually attractive. the incidents occurred in his inner office at the eeoc.

one of the oddest episodes i remember was an occasion in which thomas was drinking a coke in his office. he got up from the table at which we were working, went over to his desk to get the coke, looked at the can and asked, "who has pubic hair on my coke?" on other occasions, he referred to the size of his own penis as being larger than normal, and he also spoke on some occasions of the pleasures he had given to women with oral sex.

at this point, late 1982, i began to feel severe stress on the job. i began to be concerned that clarence thomas might take out his anger with me by degrading me or not giving me important assignments. i also thought that he might find an excuse for dismissing me.

in january of 1983, i began looking for another job. i was handicapped because i feared that, if he found out, he might make it difficult for me to find other employment and i might be dismissed from the job i had. another factor that made my search more difficult was that there was a period -- this was during a period of a hiring freeze in the government. in february of 1983, i was hospitalized for five days on an emergency basis for acute stomach pain which i attributed to stress on the job.

once out of the hospital, i became more committed to find other employment and sought further to minimize my contact with thomas. this became easier when allison duncan (sp) became office director, because most of my work was then funneled through her and i had contact with clarence thomas mostly in staff meetings.

in the spring of 1983, an opportunity to teach at oral roberts university opened up. i participated in a seminar -- taught an afternoon session and seminar at oral roberts university. the dean of the university saw me teaching and inquired as to whether i would be interested in furthering -- pursuing a career in teaching, beginning at oral roberts university. i agreed to take the job in large part because of my desire to escape the pressures i felt at the eeoc due to judge thomas.

when i informed him that i was leaving in july, i recall that his response was that now i would no longer have an excuse for not going out with him. i told him that i still preferred not to do so. at some time after that meeting, he asked if he could take me to dinner at the end of the term. when i declined, he assured me that the dinner was a professional courtesy only and not a social invitation. i reluctantly agreed to accept that invitation, but only if it was at the every end of a working day.

on, as i recall, the last day of my employment at the eeoc in the summer of 1983, i did have dinner with clarence thomas. we went directly from work to a restaurant near the office. we talked about the work i had done, both at education and at the eeoc. he told me that he was pleased with all of it except for an article and speech that i had done for him while we were at the office for civil rights. finally, he made a comment that i will vividly remember. he said that if i ever told anyone of his behavior that it would ruin his career. this was not an apology, nor was it an explanation. that was his last remark about the possibility of our going out or reference to his behavior.

in july of 1983, i left washington, dc area and have had minimal contact

with judge clarence thomas since. i am of course aware from the press that some questions have been raised about conversations i had with judge clarence thomas after i left the eeoc. from 1983 until today, i have seen judge thomas only twice. on one occasion, i needed to get a reference from him, and on another he made a public appearance in tulsa.

on one occasion he called me at home and we had an inconsequential conversation. on one occasion he called me without reaching me, and i returned the call without reaching him, and nothing came of it. i have on at least three occasions, been asked to act as a conduit to him for others.

i knew his secretary, diane holt. we had worked together at both eeoc and education. there were occasions on which i spoke to her, and on some of these occasions undoubtedly i passed on some casual comment to then chairman thomas. there were a series of calls in the first three months of 1985, occasioned by a group in tulsa, which wished to have a civil rights conference. they wanted judge thomas to be the speaker and enlisted my assistance for this purpose.

i did call in january and february to no effect, and finally suggested to the person directly involved, susan cahal (ph) that she put the matter into her own hands and call directly. she did so in march of 1985. in connection with that march invitation, ms. cahal (ph) wanted conference materials for the seminar and some research was needed. i was asked to try to get the information and did attempted to do so.

there was another call about another possible conference in july of 1985. in august of 1987, i was in washington, dc and i did call diane holt. in the course of this conversation, she asked me how long i was going to be in town and i told her. (请你收藏好 范 文，请便下次访问WwW.HaoWOrD.CoM)it is recorded in the message as august 15. it was, in fact, august 20th. she told me about judge thomas's marriage and i did say congratulate him.

it is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration that i am able to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone except my closest friends. as i've said before these last few days have been very trying and very hard for me and it hasn't just been the last few days this week. it has actually been over a month now that i have been under the strain of this issue.

telling the world is the most difficult experience of my life, but it is very close to having to live through the experience that occasion this meeting. i may have used poor judgment early on in my relationship with this issue. i was aware, however, that telling at any point in my career could adversely affect my future career. and i did not want early on to burn all the bridges to the eeoc.

as i said, i may have used poor judgment. perhaps i should have taken angry or even militant steps, both when i was in the agency, or after i left it. but i must confess to the world that the course that i took seemed the better as well as the easier approach.

i declined any comment to newspapers, but later when senate staff asked me about these matters i felt i had a duty to report. i have no personal vendetta against clarence thomas. i seek only to provide the committee with information which it may regard as relevant.

it would have been more comfortable to remain silent. i took no initiative to inform anyone. but when i was asked by a representative of this committee to report my experience, i felt that i had to tell the truth. i could not keep silent.

第四篇：演讲稿开场白要求

一、出语惊人

如果你想迅速吸引你的听众，那么在演讲的开头，你可以描绘一个异乎寻常的场面，或透露一个触目惊心的数据，或栩栩如生地描述一个耸人听闻的事情，造成“此言一出，举座皆惊”的艺术效果，这样，听众不仅会蓦然凝神，而且还会侧耳细听，更多地寻求你的讲话内容，探询你演讲的原因。

二、设置悬念

人都有好奇的天性。在开场白中制造悬念，能激发听众的强烈兴趣和好奇心，在适当的时候解开悬念，使听众的好奇心得到满足，也使演讲前后照应，浑然一体。

三、巧用修辞

精彩的演讲必须有精美的语言包装，要想语言生动活泼，就要发挥修辞的作用。在意境方面，用比喻、夸张、设问、反问、借代等修辞手法，调剂语言韵味，让听众听得有趣；在形式方面，用对偶、排比等整齐的句式来增强演讲的气势，让听众听得振奋。

第五篇：演讲稿开场白

文章开头最难写，同样道理，作演讲开场白最不易把握，要想三言两语抓住听众的心，并非易事。如果在演讲的开始听众对你的话就不感兴趣，注意力一旦被分散了，那后面再精彩的言论也将黯然失色。因此只有匠心独运的开场白，以其新颖、奇趣、敏慧之美，才能给听众留下深刻印象，才能立即控制场上气氛，在瞬间里集中听众注意力，从而为接下来的演讲内容顺利地搭梯架桥。

奇论妙语石破天惊听众对平庸普通的论调都不屑一顾，置若罔闻;倘若发人未见，用别人意想不到的见解引出话题，造成“此言一出，举座皆惊”的艺术效果，会立即震撼听众，使他们急不可耐地听下去，这样就能达到吸引听众的目的。

我记起了毕业欢送会上班主任给我们的致词。他一开口就让我们疑窦丛生——“我原来想祝福大家一帆风顺，但仔细一想，这样说不恰当。”这句话把我们弄得丈二和尚摸不着头脑，大家屏声静气地听下去——“说人生一帆风顺就如同祝某人万寿无疆一样，是一个美丽而又空洞的谎言。人生漫漫，必然会遇到许多艰难困苦，比如……”最后得出结论：“一帆风不顺的人生才是真实的人生，在逆风险浪中拼搏的人生才是最辉煌的人生。祝大家奋力拼搏，在坎坷的征程中，用坚实有力的步伐走向美好的未来!”十多年过去了，班主任的话语犹在耳边，给我留下了永难磨灭的印象。“一帆风顺”是常见的吉祥祝语，而老师偏偏反弹琵琶，从另一角度悟出了人生哲理。第一句话无异于平地惊雷，又宛若异峰突起，怎能不震撼人心?

需要注意的是，运用这种方式应掌握分寸，弄不好会变为哗众取宠，故作耸人之语。应结合听众心理、理解层次出奇制胜。再有，不能为了追求怪异而大发谬论、怪论，也不能生硬牵扯，胡乱升华。否则，极易引起听众的反感和厌倦。须知，无论多么新鲜的认识始终是建立在正确的主旨之上的。

自嘲开路幽默搭桥自嘲就是“自我开炮”，用在开场白里，目的是用诙谐的语言巧妙地自我介绍，这样会使听众倍感亲切，无形中缩短了与听众间的距离。在第四次作代会上，萧军应邀上台，第一句话就是：“我叫萧军，是一个出土文物。”这句话包含了多少复杂感情：有辛酸，有无奈，有自豪，有幸福。而以自嘲之语表达，形式异常简洁，内蕴尤其丰富!胡适在一次演讲时这样开头：“我今天不是来向诸君作报告的，我是来‘胡说’的，因为我姓胡。”话音刚落，听众大笑。这个开场白既巧妙地介绍了自己，又体现了演讲者谦逊的修养，而且活跃了场上气氛，沟通了演讲者与听众的心理，一石三鸟，堪称一绝。

1990年中央电视台邀请台湾影视艺术家凌峰先生参加春节联欢晚会。当时，许多观众对他还很陌生，可是他说完那妙不可言的开场白后，一下子被观众认同并受到了热烈欢迎。他说：“在下凌峰，我和文章不同，虽然我们都获得过‘金钟奖’和最佳男歌星称号，但我以长得难看而出名……一般来说，女观众对我的印象不太好，她们认为我是人比黄花瘦，脸比煤炭黑。”这一番话嬉而不谑，妙趣横生，观众捧腹大笑。这段开场白给人们留下了非常坦诚、风趣幽默的良好印象。不久，在“金话筒之夜”文艺晚会上，只见他满脸含笑，对观众说：“很高兴又见到了你们，很不幸又见到了我。”观众报以热烈的掌声。至此，凌峰的名字就传遍了祖国大地。
