二十個問題
陪爸媽好好說一次話
二十題全部都在這一頁，不用註冊，也沒有藏起來的部分。想印出來帶走的話，最下面有。
怎麼用這份問題
七句話，跟問題本身一樣重要。大部分人卡住的不是不知道要問什麼，而是話接不下去。
問一個問題，然後就安靜下來。
Ask one question. Then stop talking.
沉默不是壞事——故事就藏在那幾秒鐘裡。
Silence isn't a problem. It's where the story is.
不要糾正年份或名字。讓他們用自己的方式講。
Don't correct dates or names. Let them tell it their way.
「後來呢？」——這一句就夠了。
"Then what happened?" is the only follow-up you need.
如果他們說「沒什麼好講的」，就先問別人的事。繞一圈，他們自己會講回來。
If they say there's nothing to tell, ask about someone else in the family. They'll come back around.
二十分鐘就是一場真正的談話，不需要兩個小時。
Twenty minutes is a real conversation. You don't need two hours.
錄下來。你記得住內容，記不住他們說話的樣子。
Record it. You'll remember what they said. You won't remember how they said it.
二十個問題
順序是有道理的，不要跳著問。前面兩組具體、安全，先問完，後面比較深的題目才問得下去。
