As soon as they hear they are being taped, many scholars say they want to prepare for a moment or want to write out what they want to say or else they speak with limited effectiveness for three minutes whereas they could have spoken for 30 minutes with great confidence. The result may not be very good.
有些學者很可能一說要錄音，就說我要準備一下，或是要去寫稿，或是原本可以侃侃而談卅分鐘的，最後只剩下三分鐘了，效果可能不是很好。
