喜樂美語
  1. 1

    An orator is someone who is good at making speeches and persuading people — not just anyone who talks in front of a room. The word points to skill: a clear voice, well-chosen words, and the power to make a crowd feel something or change its mind. Politicians, lawyers, and get called orators when they speak well. It is a respectful, slightly formal word. Though actually, in daily English people more often say a good speaker; orator sounds like praise, or like something from a history book.
