學生不愿說的話，有些是因為情緒(attitude)，有些是因為能力(capability)，本文只針對后者。
1、“課題還沒進展”或“文章還沒寫好”
“我最近做的實驗似乎都不成功，我們能不能討論一下？”
“我寫了一個文章的初稿（或提綱），但不是很滿意，我們能不能討論一下？”
Lack
of progress can mean two things: I didn't do anything or I ran into a
series of failures. The latter can be equally valuable as a successful
experiment. After all, we deal with failures most
of the time in research. I tend to be very nervous when my students
present me with perfect data upon their first try. A very important role
for a mentor is to help his/her students do trouble shooting. But the
students also need to learn how to communicate with their mentors, most
importantly, their observation on those failed experiments.
No
one was born a scientific writer. But no matter how awkward the first
step is, a mentor should always be willing to guide their students to
become a proficient writer, although it can be trying and frustrating at times.
2、“我不會做（寫）”
“我對這個項目該怎么入手還沒有很成熟的想法，我們能不能討論一下？”
If
you do not know how to approach a project, it's common. But be frank,
ask for help, show your mentor your motivation and willingness to learn.
3、“我沒時間做這個”
“我最近的幾個實驗還有些收尾工作要做，我能不能先把這些做完？”
If
you think your mentor has been unreasonable about your workload,
communicate with him/her. Point out that your current work is equally
important to the lab.
4、“這個題目（方向）好難呀”
同2。
5、“我對這個題目（方向）不感興趣”
“我對咱們實驗室的另一個題目更感興趣，我能不能去做那個？”
A mentor usually allows the students to choose from several topics. If nothing in the lab interests you, you should quit.
6、“做這個條件不夠”
“我查了文獻，做這個需要的這些儀器我們實驗室沒有，我們能不能討論一下看有沒有解決的方法？”
There
is never a perfect environment/condition to do research. A good
researcher will try every means to circumvent the hurdles and get
things done. Again, conmmunicate with your mentor, he/she might know
resources you don’t know.
7、“我沒有什么問題要交流”
“我覺得我對這個課題的理解還有難度，所以尚且問不出問題來，我是不是應該補學一些基礎知識？”
No
body expects a student to know everything. But you need to let your
mentor know what your deficiencies are and show him/her your willingness
to learn.
8、“這跟我的畢業論文沒有關系”
同5。
9、“生活補貼不夠用”
Sorry, can't help with this one. No one should take graduate student as a job, it is a career path.
The bottom line is: be positive, constructive, and keep communicating. Approach the research, not your mentor, aggressively.分析化學 儀器分析 紅外光譜
