The Skill of Asking Better Questions
提出好问题的能力
🇬🇧 英式独立音色 · Lucy · British English 待连接A question shapes the answer that follows. If you ask, ‘Did the meeting go well?’, the other person may simply say yes. If you ask, ‘Which part of the meeting was most useful?’, you invite a more specific response. Good questions do not need to sound clever. They need to make the purpose of the conversation clearer.
问题会塑造随后得到的答案。如果你问‘会议进行得顺利吗？’，对方可能只会回答‘是的’。如果你问‘会议的哪个部分最有用？’，你就会得到更具体的回答。好问题不需要听起来聪明，它们需要让对话的目的更加清晰。
问题越具体，得到的信息通常越有用。

The wording of a survey can shape the answer.问卷的措辞会影响答案。
An open question invites a fuller response.开放式问题会引导更完整的回应。
Useful follow-up questions often begin with what, how, or why. However, why can sometimes sound critical, especially when a mistake has happened. Asking ‘What led to this decision?’ is often softer than asking ‘Why did you do that?’ After listening, summarise what you heard and check your understanding. A good question is only valuable when you pay attention to the answer.
有用的追问通常以 what、how 或 why 开头。不过，尤其在出现错误时，why 有时会听起来像批评。问‘是什么促成了这个决定？’通常比‘你为什么那么做？’更温和。听完之后，要总结你听到的内容并确认理解。只有当你认真关注答案时，一个好问题才真正有价值。
好提问包括温和地追问、认真倾听和复述确认。
