本文对流利翻译和单语语篇产出中的停顿模式进行了实证研究。通过比较两个过程中记录的停顿，发现了两个时间特征：第一，语篇范畴边界的平均停顿时长越长，该范畴在句法层次中的位置越高。第二，小句水平及以下的停顿时间在翻译中平均比单语文本的长，而小句以上的停顿在翻译中往往较短。除了停顿时间的差异，翻译也影响了总制作时间的使用。翻译平均需要较长的修订和监测阶段，而起草阶段则较快完成。这两项写作任务在迎新阶段使用的时间比例大致相同。
This paper is an empirical study on pause patterns in fluent translation and monolingual text production. By comparing pauses recorded from both processes, it discovered two temporal features: Firstly, the mean length of pause at textual category boundaries grew the higher the category was in the syntactic hierarchy. Secondly, the length of pause at clause level or lower were on average longer in translation than in monolingual text production, whereas pauses above clause level tended to be shorter in translation. Besides the differences in pause duration, translation also affected the use of total production time. Translation requires on average a longer revision and monitoring phase while the drafting phase is completed more quickly. Both writing tasks used approximately the same proportion of time for the orientation phase.
