	presentation问答环节指导 
	 
	在presentation结束后,一般接下来都会有问答环节,观众会针对presentation的内容提出他们关注的问题。此时你可以观察观众到底对你的presentation有多少的了解,然后进一步向他们做出一些补充或者重复的解释,来使presentation的内容深入观众心里。下面介绍一些问答环节可能用到的语句 
	  
	1.Inviting Questions邀请观众提问 
	  
	在presentation结束后,你可以使用下面的语句提醒观众进行问答环节,并鼓励他们发问。 
	  
	- 
		So, let's throw it open to questions.
 
	- 
		Now I' d like to answer any questions, if you have any.
 
	- 
		Now I am ready to answer your questions, if any.
 
	- 
		I'd be glad to try and answer any questions.
 
	- 
		Are there any questions?
 
	- 
		Any questions?
 
 
	  
	2.Asking for Repetition请求观众重复问题 
	  
	在观众提问后,你可能并未理解或者记住问题,这时可以使用下面的语句请求观众重复一遍问题。 
	  
	- 
		Pardon, I couldn't hear what you said.
 
	- 
		I beg your pardon, I didn't catch what you said.
 
	- 
		I'm sorry I forgot your first question. Would you be so kind as to say it again?
 
	- 
		I'm not quite surge what your question is.
 
	- 
		I didn't quite get the last point of your question.
 
	-

	- 
		Are you referring to the significance of the difference?
 
	- 
		Are you suggesting that the temperature might have affected the results?
 
	- 
		If I understand you correctly, you are saying/asking...
 
	- 
		I didn't quite catch that.
 
	- 
		Could you go over that again?
 
	- 
		I'm not sure what you're getting at.
 
 
	  
	3.Welcoming the Question对问题表示欢迎 
	  
	在弄清楚观众的问题后,可以在回答前表示一下感谢。如果观众提到presentation很精彩,那么最好感谢观众的评价;如果观众的问题很有深度,对观众的水平也要提出赞赏。下面是可以用到的语句。 
	  
	- 
		This is a very good question.
 
	-

	- 
		Thank you for that question. This is a challenging question and I'm afraid I can only provide a partial answer to it. Anyway, I'll try my best to answer it.
 
 
	  
	4.Responding to Difficult or Challenging Question对困难问题的回答 
	  
	有些问题你可能无法做出准确回答,因为你的研究或调查并没有涉及到问题的内容,或者并没有到达一定深度,此时你可以用下面的语句来回复。 
	  
	- 
		Perhaps in another year or so we can answer that question, because these studies are now in progress.
 
	- 
		We are now working on this problem and, if you agree, I'll answer your question in a few weeks.
 
	- 
		The only answer I can give at present is to wait a few more years, at which time something better might ultimately come out of all our efforts.
 
	- 
		I think it will be possible to answer this question when more experiments are completed.
 
	- 
		The answer to this question needs further study.
 
	- 
		I hope I will be able to answer your question later.
 
 
	  
	5.Responding to Improper Question对不合适的问题的回答 
	  
	有些问题可能与你的presentation无关,甚至与你的观点相反。你可以选择不回答他的问题,也可以用下面的语句回答。 
	  
	- 
		I appreciate your interest in my research, but I just don't want to talk about it now. Let's talk about something else.
 
	- 
		I'd rather not say.             
 
	- 
		Why do you want to know?
 
	- 
		Before I answer you that question, let me ask you: where do you think we should have the project?
 
	- 
		What do you think? 
 
 
	  
	6.Responding to the Questions You Do Not Know对你不懂的问题的回答 
	  
	如果你不知道如何回答的话,大方的承认你不知道。或者在场有其他人可以回答的话,你可以请他来帮你回答这个问题。 
	  
	- 
		I'm sorry. I don't happen to know the answer to that question, but I'll be happy to check into it for you.
 
	- 
		I don't think I can answer your question.
 
	- 
		I wish I could answer your question, but unfortunately I have no good answer.
 
	- 
		I'm not sure that I can answer your question. What I'm going to say is not quite an answer to your question.
 
	- 
		I think that question could be better answered by Dr. Liu than by me.
 
	- 
		I think perhaps Dr. Chen would be better able to answer this question.
 
	- 
		Prof. Li would be a better person to answer your question since he has done a lot of work in this field.
 
	- 
		Fortunately, Prof. 'Ma, who is an authority in this area, is 'here. I think no one is more suitable than him to answer your question.
 
	- 
		Dr. Sawyer is perhaps in a better position to tell us something about it.
 
	- 
		Perhaps my colleague Dr. Emery here has some better ideas.
 
	- 
		I think it would be better if Prof. Wu were to make some comments on this matter.
 
 
	  
	7.Referring Back to the Questioner向提问者确认回答 
	  
	在回答完提问者的问题后,向提问者确认一下是否回答可以让提问者满意。下面的语句可以用在这个场合。 
	  
	- 
		Did I answer your question?
 
	- 
		Did I answer you satisfactorily?
 
	- 
		Did your question get answered?
 
	- 
		I don't know whether this answered your question.
 
	- 
		I don't know if this is a satisfactory answer.
 
	- 
		I hope this may serve as an answer to Dr. Li.        
 
 
	  
	8.presentation提问部分其他注意事项 
	  
	你的回答避免让提问者感到难堪,比如下面这个句子。 
	  
	I've already answered that but you obviously weren't listening. 
	  
	这个句子可以改成下面这个句子。 
	  
	I'm sorry I didn't explain that clearly. 
	  
	避免只和一个提问者对话,要注意全场各个部分的观众,保证有多个提问者可以提出自己的问题。时刻保持适当的礼仪。
