If you're attending an event with big shots you want to network with, make sure you do some preparation beforehand so you're not stuck for words. If they are very influential in their industry, everyone will want speak to them, so make good use of time if you manage to get ahold of these gurus. Here are some tips to help you mingle with the VIPs:
如果你所参加的活动会有业界大牛到场,那么你要确保做好事前准备以免当场语塞。大神们在业界受人膜拜,人人都想要能和他们说上几句话,所以一定要利用好在大神们面前出现的每分每秒。下面有几条小贴士可以助你与“大神”和谐相处:

1.Research.First of all, if you know who is going to be there, do your best to do in-depth research on them. Read their bios, past interviews, and articles they've been featured in.
事先调查。首先,如果你知道哪位大人物会到场,那么你就要尽力多挖掘一些相关资料。读一读他们的履历,回顾一下他们参加过的访谈,看一眼介绍他们的文章。

2.Prepare questions. Now that you have a good idea of what the person does and how the person got to where she is today, prepare some good questions that you find unanswered in the material you've read. Make sure your questions reflect your research efforts. Ask thoughtful, insightful questions that will impress them. Write these questions down and memorize the gist of them.
准备问题。现在你已经知道了大牛们是个什么样的人,也知道他们因为做了哪些事才获得了如今的地位,你要准备的就是提出那些在你看过的那些资料中没有涉及到的问题。要注意的是,你提的问题要能很好地反映出你做过的调查研究。提问那些有思想性、深刻性的问题才会俘获“大神”的心。把要提问的问题写下来,并记住其中的要点。

3.Pay attention.If you're attending a talk, you might hear new information about them, so you can even adapt your questions to fit the content discussed.
全神贯注。如果你参加的是一次谈话,那么你可能会听到一些关于大牛们的新消息。所以,你要随时根据所获得的信息来调整自己准备的问题。

4.Approach and conquer. Wait for the right moment to speak to them. There may be a line of people waiting to speak to her, so be patient and wait for your turn.
征服“大牛”。等待适当的时机再开口。可能有一大堆人排着队等着向“大牛”发问,耐心等待,有你表现的机会。

5.Feel it out. Sometimes, it might be natural for you to slip in a "Let's keep in contact. What's the best way to stay in touch with you?" If it feels forced, reconsider it, and maybe even opt to reach out to them casually via Twitter or Google+ instead.
小心试探。有时候,我们在谈话中很自然地就会说出“我们要常联系啊,我怎么联系你比较好?”这样的话。如果你觉得对方感觉有点勉强,那么就再斟酌一下。也许换种方式,通过Twitter或者Google+这样的社交网络联系他们也是一个好方法。
