翻譯 hit someone with a problem

hit someone with a problem 讓某人面對問題

I’m sorry to hit you with this problem. I don’t know who else to turn to. 很抱歉把這個問題拋給你，我不知道還可以找誰求助。
Every time they hit a problem, they will learn something important. 每當他們解決一個問題，他們就會學到一些重要的東西。
Nevertheless, as I discovered, it also helps to be able to contact a techie expert when you hit an unexpected problem such as navigating a way through a security firewall. 然而我發現，當你碰到意外問題時，比如要設法通過一個安全防火牆，這些設備還能幫你聯絡技術專家。
Hit upon a solution to the problem. 找到問題的解決方式。

翻譯 sell someone on

sell someone on 以…說服某人

She sold me on her idea. I think it will work. 她用她的看法說服了我，我想那行得通。
請注意 I’m sold 可以不帶貶義，它和 I am convinced 一樣，只是口語化程度大一些。
Researchers have been studying in the factors that influence us to say “yes” to the request of others for over sixty years. And there can be no doubt that there’s a science to how we’re persuaded. 研究人員一直針對影響我們對別人的要求說「yes」的因素研究了超過六十年。而無庸置疑的，是有一個關於我們是如何被說服的科學存在。
And a lot of the science is surprising. When making a decision, it would be nice to think that people consider all the available information in order to guide their thinking. But the reality is very often different. In the increasingly overloaded lives we live, more than ever, we need shortcuts or rules of thumb to guide our decision making. 很多科學都令人驚訝。做決定時，認為人們為了要引導他們的思緒，會考慮所有可用的資訊是很好的。但是事實往往不同。在我們所過的愈加超載的生活中，更甚於以往地，我們需要捷徑或是經驗法則來引導我們做決定。

翻譯 let the cat out of the bag

let the cat out of the bag 洩漏秘密

I won’t let the cat out of the bag. 我不會洩漏秘密的。
The boss didn’t want anyone to know he was quitting, but his secretary let the cat out of the bag. 老闆本來不希望員工知道他要離職，但被他的秘書說出去。
We wanted Jill’s party to be a surprise, but Andy let the cat out of the bag. 我們本來想給 Jill一個驚喜派對，但是Andy先跟她說了。
『將貓從袋子裡放出來』，就是將秘密洩漏出去的意思。之前在英國賣豬的都把豬仔放在布袋中，但是有些不肖的商人，會把等重的貓放進布袋裡，等到買的人回家打開袋子，才發現裡面是貓不是豬。貓跑出來，買的人才發現自己被騙了！因此，將貓從袋子裡放出來才會有"洩漏了秘密"的隱喻。

It’s after seven o’clock and I promised Susan I’d meet her in front of her office right at six. I better cook up a good story or I’ll be in big trouble. 已經七點多了．我答應蘇珊六點鐘在她辦公室門口等她的．我得想出一個好一點的理由來解釋為什麼遲到一個多小時，否則我可真是麻煩了。

如何增加您論文的引用次數 How to optimize citations to your article

如何增加您論文的引用次數


技巧和建議 Tips and Suggestions
欲增加您論文的引用次數，請嘗試下列作法：To optimize citations to your article, try to:
• 如果您不是用母語撰寫論文，請確保您可獲得幫助。 • make sure that you get help if you are not writing in your first language.
• 在您的學科範圍內所有人都會查閱的期刊上發表論文； • publish your article in one of the journals everyone in your discipline reads;
• 以具有高影響指數或在具有整體影響指數的期刊為目標； • target a journal with a high impact factor, or with any impact factor at all;
• 以快速成長的研究領域內的期刊作為目標，因為這些期刊通常會縮短從投稿到採用論文所需的時間； • target journals in rapidly growing research fields because they tend to publish papers with a short time interval from submission to acceptance;
• 寫一篇評論。評論比原創研究論文更可能被引用； • write a review. Reviews are more likely to be cited than original research papers;

• 論文摘要中務必包含相關術語； • make sure that relevant terms are included in the abstract;
• 謹慎選擇關鍵字，確保其他人可以找到您的文章； • choose keywords carefully to make sure your article will be found;
• 在可能的情況下分享您的資料（例如，樣本屬性、臨床因素、患者的治療結果、DNA 序列）； • share your data (e.g. sample attributes, clinical factors, patient outcomes, DNA sequences) where possible;
• 考慮盡可能開放讓人存取您的論文； • think about making your article open access where available;
• 推廣您的論文； • promote your article;
• 參加會議； • go to conferences;
• 簡報論文底稿； • present a working paper;
• 為期刊審查論文； • review papers for journals;
• 加入編輯委員會； • join an editorial board;
• 在權威客座編輯的特刊上發表論文； • publish in a special issue with a prestigious guest editor;
• 與其他作者聯合發表論文； • publish with other authors;
• 將您的論文放到機構館藏或主題館藏中； • put your article in an institutional or subject repository;
• 自我宣傳 – 從電子郵件簽名連接到您的最新論文； • publicize yourself – link to your latest article in your email signature;

如何推廣您的論文 How to promote your article

如何推廣您的論文


技巧和建議 Tips and Suggestions

閱讀清單：將您的論文或期刊加到學生的必讀清單中。
Reading lists: add your article, or the journal, to your students’ reading lists as essential reading.

系所網站或個人網頁：利用您在學院系所網站上的職員檔案資料或您的個人網頁，增加與您的論文有關的資訊，並直接連結至線上版本。
Department website or personal webpage: use your staff profile entry on your department website, or your personal webpage, to add information about your article and link directly to the online version.

 Twitter 和 Facebook：愈來愈多作者透過 Twitter 和 Facebook 推廣其論文內容，如此一來，其他研究人員和從業人員才會知道他們的論文。在您的 Twitter 或 Facebook 網頁發佈公告，強調您的論文發表，透過連結引導觀看您的線上版本論文。
Twitter and Facebook: authors are increasingly promoting their content via Twitter and Facebook so it can be picked up by other researchers and practitioners. Place an announcement on your Twitter or Facebook page highlighting the publication of your article with a link to direct people to the online version.

LinkedIn：LinkedIn 是來自全球各地經驗豐富的專業人士彼此連結的網路，擁有超過 5500 萬名會員。它能提供的不只是就業機會。在您建立個人資料，概述專業知識與成就時，何不提一下您的論文呢？
LinkedIn: LinkedIn is an interconnected network of experienced professionals from around the world with over 55 million members. It is not just for career opportunities. When
you create your profile that summarizes your professional expertise and accomplishments, why not include a mention of your articles?

加入學術社交網路網站：愈來愈多學者、研究人員和業界人士使用 MyNetReseach 和 Academici 等社群，與擁有相同研究興趣的人士聚會和交談。
Join academic social networking sites: academics, researchers, and practitioners are increasingly using social communities such as MyNetReseach and Academici as a way
of meeting and conversing with people who share the same research interests.

CiteULike：您可以將論文新增至您個人的 CiteULike資料庫，與其他人分享，幫助他人發現與其研究領域相關的文獻。只要使用 CiteULike，透過邀請朋友 (invite a friend) 功能便可開始此程序。
CiteULike: you could add your article to your personal CiteULike library to share with others, which helps them discover literature which is relevant to their field. You can help with this process just by using CiteULike and through the invite a friend feature.

討論群組：在您加入的任何討論群組中張貼簡短的訊息，讓人知道現在可以從最新一期的期刊查閱您的論文。最簡單的作法就是註冊訂閱期刊目錄快訊，收到快訊後便可轉發電子郵件。
Discussion lists: post a short message to any discussion lists you are a member of, letting people know that the journal’s latest issue, which includes your article, is now available. The easiest way to do this is to register for the table of contents alert for the journal so you can forward the email once you have received it.

部落格：如果您有部落格，別忘了告知其他使用者您的論文。
Blogs: if you blog, don’t forget to inform other users about your article.

圖書館推薦：向您的機構確認是否有訂閱該期刊。如果沒有，請推薦訂閱下一年度期刊。
Library recommendation: check your institution has a subscription to the journal. If not, recommend it for the next subscription year.

如何發表博士論文 How to publish your Ph.D.

如何發表博士論文


決定格式 Decide on the format
您有幾種方式可以發表博士論文：書籍、期刊文章、一系列期刊文章、會議論文、大學
內部文件，或專業學會出版品。
You can publish your Ph.D. in several ways: as a book, as a journal article, as a series of journal articles, as a conference paper, as an internal university document, or as a specialist society publication.

出版書籍 Publishing it as a book
商業出版社不會出版您的博士論文，但您可以自行出版。您可以在網際網路上找到幾家
提供此類服務的公司。您如果決定將博士論文出版成冊，應該重新撰寫，著重於敘述而非研究。
Commercial publishers will not publish your Ph.D, but you can self-publish it. There are several companies offering this service that you can find on the Internet. If you decide to make your Ph.D. into a book, you should rewrite it, focusing on the story rather than the research.

撰寫提案 Writing a proposal
您的提案應簡明扼要。請記住，編輯還得在其業務範圍內說服其他人。該提案應切合實際，以市場為導向，幫助他們容易說服他人。您的提案應說明：書籍的主題、預期讀者、您打算如何安排書籍的架構，以及您的書提供哪些別人所沒有的內容。如果可以，請提供其中一章作為樣本。
Your proposal should be concise and to the point. Remember that an editor will have other people within the business to persuade. Make it easy for them by being realistic and market-focused. Your proposal should identify: the subject particulars of the book, the intended audience, how you intend to structure your book, and what your book will offer that others do not. Provide a single sample chapter if you can.

選擇出版社 Choosing a publisher
慎選出版社。您可以查詢《出版資訊大全》 (Directory of Publishing) 或《作家與藝術家年鑑》(The Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook) 等出版目錄。不妨與同事和主管討論您的提案。瞭解他們與各家出版社接觸的經驗，他們會推薦哪一家出版社。用電子郵件將您的提案發送給指定的個人。
Choose a publisher carefully. You can consult directories such as the Directory of Publishing or The Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook. It would be a good idea to discuss your proposal with colleagues and your supervisor. Find out what experience they have had with various publishers, and whom they would recommend. Send your proposal to a named individual by email.

如何審閱論文 How to referee an article

如何審閱論文


為何要審閱？ Why referee?
如果您的行程緊湊，很容易就會拒絕審閱的請求，但基於一些非常合理的原因，您應該接受審閱：
• 以您本身的專業知識幫助作者改進論文。
• 讓作者知道有其他文獻可提供有用的比較或方法說明。
• 在嚴謹的過程中，協助確保只發表最佳研究成果。
• 讓您知悉目前學科內新興的研究。
When your time is stretched it’s tempting to say no to requests to referee, but there are a number of very valid reasons why you should accept:
• Help the author to improve the paper – in the light of your own professional expertise.
• Make the author aware of any additional literature that may provide useful comparison, or clarification of an approach.
• Assist in a rigorous process to ensure only the best research is published.
• Maintain your awareness of current research emerging within the discipline.

調查期刊內容 Investigate the journal’s content
您已同意審閱一篇論文，那麼下一步該怎麼做呢？從造訪期刊首頁開始，瞭解該期刊平常的內容和出版社的風格，協助確定所審查的論文是否適合該期刊。請參閱投稿須知 (Instructions for Authors)，瞭解論文是否符合該期刊的投稿標準（例如篇幅、範圍和呈現方式）。
You’ve agreed to referee a paper, so what should you do next? Start by visiting the journal homepage to get a sense of the journal’s usual content and house style to help decide whether the paper being reviewed is suitable. Refer to the Instructions for Authors to see if the paper meets the submission criteria of the journal (e.g. length, scope and presentation).

評量 Make an assessment
填寫審查問題或評分表，指出論文的相對優點或缺點。請記住，作者將樂於接受您的正面反饋以及建設性的批評。要問的關鍵問題為：該論文是否為原創？對現有文獻的相對貢獻是否足夠？該論文對期刊的讀者群而言是否有趣？
Complete the review questions or score sheet to indicate the relative strengths or weaknesses of the paper. Remember that authors will welcome positive feedback as well as constructive criticism from you. Key questions to ask: Is the paper original? Is the relative contribution made to the existing literature good enough? Will the paper be interesting to the readership of the journal?

建議 Make a recommendation
讀過論文並評量其品質後，您需向編輯建議出版與否。應該採用該論文嗎？應修改後再交稿？還是應退稿重新修訂？提供一些適合傳達給作者的意見，讓作者有機會就任何不清楚的地方加以說明，並進一步闡述意見。如果您有時間，請針對如何改善論文呈現的明確性、簡潔性和整體品質向作者建議。確認您是否覺得論文的趣味性與其篇幅相當。如果您建議縮短，若能指出您認為需要縮短的特定部分，對作者將有所助益。
Once you’ve read the paper and have assessed its quality, you need to make a recommendation to the editor regarding publication. Should it be accepted? Revised and resubmitted? Rejected pending revision? Supply some comments suitable for transmission to the author as an opportunity to seek clarification on any unclear points and for further elaboration. If you have time, make suggestions as to how the author can improve clarity, succinctness, and the overall quality of presentation. Confirm whether you feel the subject of the paper is sufficiently interesting to justify its length. If you recommend shortening it, it is useful to the author(s) if you can indicate specific areas where you think that shortening is required.

無法審閱？ Unable to referee?
您不可能接受每一個論文審閱邀約。在這種情況下，如果您能推薦一位可取代您的專家或您信任其意見之人士，將會非常有幫助。如果您無法完成對論文的報告，請儘快通知編輯室，以免延誤審閱程序。
It won’t be possible for you to accept every invitation to referee. In this situation it is very helpful if you are able to recommend an alternative expert or someone whose opinion
you trust. If you are unable to complete your report on a paper then inform the editorial office as soon as possible so that the refereeing process is not delayed.
