Please be professional and honest. (請保持專業和誠實)

Our department arranges the talk at night, especially for the in-service master. It isn't easy to invite an academic speaker during the night. Senior industry managers help with a spirit of dedication. Please show basic respect to the speaker, as it is a courtesy to their efforts and knowledge. For instance, refrain from using your smartphones during the talk.

系上為了在職的碩專班，安排晚上的演講。在晚上邀請學術演講者並不容易。對產業高階經理人，則是抱著奉獻精神來幫忙。請對演講者表現出基本的尊重，因為這是對他們的努力和知識的禮貌；例如，在演講期間不要使用智慧型手機。

To save you time, so I asked you to sign your name during the talk last night.  Some students cheated on showup records even though I wrote "No cheating" on the top. Since you do not appreciate my offer, you will stand in line to sign after the speech next time.

為了節省您的時間，所以我在昨晚的演講中請您簽名。 儘管我在上面寫了“不作弊”，但有些學生在記錄上作弊。 既然你不喜歡我的提議，以後就在演講後排隊簽名。

If you are late, please record your arrival time on the entrance table. If some students are not honest enough to record their late arrival, I will lock the doors after that at 6:55pm. 

如果您遲到，請在入口處的桌子上，記錄您的到達時間。如果有同學不誠實記錄你們遲到的時間，我會在下午6點55分鎖門。

Many students do not care about the 10 points of asking questions, so please ask the second one for those eager to learn from the experts. Listening carefully (Satya Nadella at Microsoft, Morris  Chang at TSMC) and asking questions are important for your future career, especially in international companies. 

很多同學不關心提問的10分，所以請渴望向專家學習的人問第二次。仔細傾聽 (張忠謀) 並提出問題，對於您未來的職業生涯非常重要，尤其是在國際公司。
