不知道有沒有小夥伴有這樣的難題，每次跟導師溝通的時候總是一肚子的話不知道如何表達，經常大腦一片空白支支吾吾無法繼續，一篇文章教你理順邏輯！
首先，和導師的溝通一般分為郵件和見面兩種方式，先來聊一聊郵件如何清晰明瞭的闡述自己的觀點。
最重要的就是清楚簡潔的描述問題，要知道professor 一天要回幾十封郵件，所以如果可以在標題中直接體現問題是最好不過的。郵件正文也要禮貌的表示雖然對方很忙，但還是有一些問題要請教：
- Ask politely."Could you e-mail me the page numbers for the next reading? Thanks!"is a lot better than "I need the assignment."
- “What great news! I'd be thrilled tomeet with you 。。。”
- “Would it be convenient to 。。。“
- ”Yes, it would certainly be fine to 。。。”
- “Would you prefer to 。。。”
- “I look forward to it with greatpleasure and thank you for your efforts and time.”
- “Thank you for the very kind XXXX. Iwas touched by your thoughtfulness, and assure you that it was wholly mypleasure to xxxx. I'm delighted to know that 。。。。
- ”Thanks for all of your effort andservice to xxxx. It's been a pleasure to work with you and I'm looking forwardto the results of your xxxx"
- " I hope youhad a very good Spring break in spite of this much appreciated work that you'vedone for...."
- "I'm lookingforward with great pleasure to working with you on xxxx"
- “I hope this email finds youwell..."
- " We'rehonored and grateful for your support ..... and eagerly look forward to yourthoughts …..”
接下來就是簡單直接的描述自己的問題或者闡述自己的研究方向。
另外，結尾的時候記得要禮貌性的寫上一句問候：
- “Best wishes“
- “With very best wishes”
- “With all best wishes”
- "With warmregards"
- “With thanks and best regards“
- "with verybest wishes and much gratitude" (gratitude....－_,－)
- "Best regardsfor a great weekend"
- “With warm regards for a sunny andrelaxing break”
- “I hope you're all enjoying anexcellent break”
- "I'm gratefulfor you all, and wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving.”
其實，郵件問問題一般不宜太長，除非時間緊急或者導師可以在較短的篇幅內給出答案，否則還是建議大家儘量選擇面談的方式。但是面談的時候也有新的問題，有時候看著導師和藹的面龐就是大腦一片空白，或者說完一句話卡在那裡想不起來下一句話要說什麼。收好這些邏輯連接詞，嘗試跳過中文翻譯的步驟，直接用英文思維溝通吧！
