Here comes my list of dos and don'ts: don't miss your deadline, don't be rude, don't talk too much, but make sure you listen to the interviewee carefully.
下面是我的行为准则：不要延误任务规定的期限，不可对人粗鲁，不可自己说得太多，务必认真倾听被采访人回答问题。
Why is listening so important?

Well, you have to listen for detailed facts.

Meanwhile you have to prepare the next question depending on what the person says.

If the interviewee agrees,

you can use a recorder to get the facts straight.

Have you ever had a case where someone accused your journalists of getting the wrong end of the stick?
你有没有过这样的情况：别人控告你的记者，说他的报道失实？
Yes, but it was a long time ago.
有的。不过这是很久以前的事了。
This is how the story goes.
事情是这样的：
A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberately not scoring goals so as to let the other team win.
一位足球运动员被指挥受贿，故意不进球，好让对方球队赢球。
We went to interview him.
我们去采访了他。
He denied taking money but we were sceptical.
他否认收了钱，但我们对此表示怀疑。
So we arranged an interview between the footballer and the man supposed to bribe him.
于是，我们安排这名球员和被认为行贿的人一起接受采访，
When we saw them together we guessed from the footballer's body language that he was not telling the truth.
而当我们看到他们在一起时我们就从足球运动员的体态语上猜到他没有说真话。
So we wrote an article suggesting he was guilty.
我们写了一篇文章，暗示足球队员有罪。
It was a dilemma because the footballer could have demanded damages if we were wrong.
这事有些为难，因为如果我们错了，他就可以向我们索要赔偿。
He tried to stop us publishing it
他竭力阻止我们发表这篇文章，
but later we were proved right.
但后来证实我们是正确的。

Perhaps I'll get a scoop too!

Perhaps you will. You never know.
也许你会的，谁知道呢。
