在国际会议上做好口头报告的必备环节(question time)

如果你的论文在国际会议上发表，你又做 oral presentation, 那么如何回答问题也是需要技巧的。一会高质量的会议还是有些牛人云集的，口头报告既可以让别人有机会认识你，探讨一些学术问题，也有利于认识牛人呀：）

所以在这整理了如何完美的完成question time，希望对大家有帮助：）

Question time

几点简要事项：

※Welcome the question

※Listen carefully to the question---don’t interrupt

※Take time to think before you answer

※Check you have understood the question---rephrase or clarify if necessary

※Reply positively---be brief and clear

※Accept criticism positively

※After your answer, check that the questioner is satisfied

如果遇到了以下的情形，看看如何来Handling it

1. Instead of asking a question, the person strongly, rather angrily, disagrees with your point of view.

――――对于这种情况你就先礼貌地听他讲完，然后重述一下你的观点，如果有必要，重述时加上点佐证。

如果这人还是不依不扰，you can say, “Well, we’ll have to agree to disagree on this point,” or “ Unfortunately, there’s no time to go into this more deeply right now.”

2. Instead of asking a question, the person states his or her own viewpoints that agree with yours.

You can say, “ Yes, that fits in exactly with what I was saying”.

3. The person states positively that some information you have given is inaccurate, but you are absolutely sure that you are correct.

这里，你可以提供你的information source or provide additional support for your statement.

OR YOU CAN SAY, “ I believe that my information is correct, but I will certainly recheck my facts.”

4. 如果有人直接提出你的一些information is inaccurate, 而你又不能自己的information was correct or not.

―――Do not feel threatened or regard this as an attack.

YOU CAN SAY, “ I appreciate your bringing this to my attention. I’ll have to recheck my sources to see what is correct.”

5. 如果有人问的问题is so basic, 你发现他did not understand any of your presentation.

YOU CAN SAY, “ Well, I don’t think we have time to discuss that point right now, but I’ll be happy to talk with you about it later.”

6. The person asks a question that will require a very long, complicated, or technical answer.

不要把时间都用在解释一个问题。

YOU CAN SAY, “That’s an interesting question, but it would take much too long to answer it adequately. Perhaps we can discuss it later.”

7. 如果有人问的问题与你讲的完全无关

YOU CAN SAY, “That’s an interesting question, but my presentation doesn’t really deal with that issue,” or “ I’m afraid I don’t see how that question applies to what I’ve said.”

8. 如果有人问的太多，占了别人的机会。

YOU CAN SAY, “I’m very pleased by your interest, but perhaps we should give others a chance to ask a few questions. I hope we can talk in more detail later.”

以下是一些具体的例句，可以在回答问题的时候用上

Answering Questions

☆☆Delaying Answering/ Playing for Time

Well, let me see……

Actually,……

Let me think for a moment. Ah, yes, ……

I’m glad you asked that question.

You’ve raised an important point here.

☆☆Avoiding Answering

That’s a good question but, unfortunately, it’s beyond the scope of this presentation. Later, I could perhaps point you in the direction of some useful websites that might help you.

I’m afraid I’m not really in a position to answer that.

I’m afraid I don’t have the figures on me. Perhaps I could E.mail them to you later.
