如果CEO问出你不知道答案的问题，该如何应对？

Of course, if it was your job to find out the answer to your CEO's question — i.e. if it wasn't a surprise — and you don't have the answer, "you're in big trouble," Randall said.

当然，如果CEO问你的问题是你业务范围内的——如果这不是个令你摸不着头脑的问题——但你不知道答案是什么。“那你可摊上大事儿了，”Randall说.

"Your CEO doesn't have time for excuses," she added. "They want the information. They will remember that you don't have it and move on."

“你的CEO可没时间听你解释”她补充道。“他们想要拿到想要的信息，所以如果你未能提供，那么他们会记住这件事然后继续工作。”

While you might not be able to restore your reputation completely, Randall said, you should definitely speak to your manager after the meeting with your CEO. When you're uNPRepared, it makes your boss look bad, too.

Randall这样建议说，在这种情况下，虽然完全挽回形象不太可能，但是之后去找上司经理谈话可是必须的。如果你对问题无解，那么管你的上司也不好看。

Offer to gather the information this afternoon — but know that at this point, your manager might say, "never mind."

提出自己会马上收集信息给出答案，但是也有可能你的上司会告诉你“没关系，别管这事儿了。”

Another option, assuming your manager thinks it's a good idea, is to email your CEO and copy your manager. Include the information you were supposed to bring and tell your CEO that this won't happen again.
