如何与导师愉快相处，你需要知道赫曼法则

原标题：如何与导师愉快相处，你需要知道赫曼法则

【序： 在十几年前，哥伦比亚大学应用物理学教授赫曼（Irving P. Herman）通过自己指导研究生的经历，针对研究生遇到的问题和困惑，从导师的角度对研究生如何顺利完成学位论文，提出了20条劝告，这被称为研究生从事学术研究的赫曼法则(The Laws of Herman)。】

The Laws of Herman

1. Your vacation begins after you defend your thesis.

在做学位论文期间，不要有任何度假休息的打算。

2. In research, what matters is what is right, and not who is right.

科学研究中，记住这个原则：重要的是什么是正确的，而不是谁是正确的。

3. In research and other matters, your adviser is always right, most of the time.

在思想上，你要相信：多数情况下，无论学术研究还是其它事情，导师错的时候不多。

4. Act as if your adviser is always right, almost all the time.

在行动上，你要相信：绝大多数时候，只要按照导师的要求去做，就不会有错。

5. If you think you are right and you are able to convince your adviser, your adviser will be very happy.

与导师意见有分歧，如果你觉得你是对的，那么就想办法去说服导师，这样他也会高兴的。

6. Your productivity varies as (effective productive time spent per day)1,000.

你的科研产出与你每天花在工作上的有效时间的1000次方成比例。

7. Your productivity also varies as 1/(your delay in analysing acquired data)1,000.

你的科研产出与你分析已获得数据拖延的时间的1000次方的倒数成比例。

8. Take data today as if you know that your equipment will break tomorrow.

如果今天能拿到数据就不要等到明天，说不定明天仪器设备就出问题了。

9. If you would be unhappy to lose your data, make a permanent back-up copy of them within five minutes of acquiring them.

为了避免自己日后崩溃，获得数据后每次再多花5分钟做好永久备份。

10. Your adviser expects your productivity to be low initially and then to be above threshold after a year or so.

导师不会在初期就期望你发表论文，但一年或更长的时间以后，如果你还没有论文发表，或者发表的论文比别人少，你应该抬头看看导师的脸色。

11. You must become a bigger expert in your thesis area than your adviser.

在你所从事的研究领域，你必须使自己成为一个大专家，争取成为你导师的导师。

12. When you cooperate, your adviser's blood pressure will go down a bit.

如果你平时很配合导师的工作，导师的血压会很正常。

13. When you don't cooperate, your adviser's blood pressure either goes up a bit or it goes down to zero.

如果你与导师背道而驰，我行我素，你导师的血压要么升高，要么会崩盘。

14.Usually, only when you can publish your results are they good enough to be partof your thesis.

学位论文的质量有一个基本标准，就是保证写进论文的每部分结果都达到能够发表的要求。

15. The higher the quality, first, and quantity, second, of your publishable work, the better your thesis.

在论文质量第一，不追求数量的前提下，你发表的学术论文质量越高，你的学位论文也就会越优秀。

16.Remember, it's your thesis. You (!) need to do it.

你要牢记一点：学位论文是你自己的，所以你必须自己亲力亲行去努力完成它。

17. Your adviser wants you to become famous, so that he/she can finally become famous.

导师很期待你能成名，这样他（她）最终也会因你而成名。

18. Your adviser wants to write the best letter of recommendation for you that is possible.

如果你学业优秀，最后导师一定会为你写一封特别棒的推荐信。

19.Whatever is best for you is best for your adviser.

对你有好处的事情，对你的导师也应该有好处。你好，他也好。

20.Whatever is best for your adviser is best for you.

对导师有好处的事情，对你自己也应该有好处。他好，你也好。
