传统的翻译研究主要是定性的，但定量研究也越来越重要，尤其是在翻译过程研究中，而且在翻译研究的其他领域也是如此。这给许多翻译学者带来了问题，因为这种思维方式是陌生的。在这篇文章中，我们试图通过概述我们的方法来缓解这些问题，从研究问题和研究设计到数据准备和统计。我们特别集中在所涉及的变量的性质，无论是在其规模和它们在设计中的作用，这对统计的设计和选择的影响。虽然我们侧重于定量研究，但我们也认为，这种研究应辅以定性分析和翻译产品的考虑。
Traditionally, translation research has been qualitative, but quantitative research is becoming increasingly important, especially in translation process research but also in other areas of translation studies. This poses problems to many translation scholars since this way of thinking is unfamiliar. In this article, we attempt to mitigate these problems by outlining our approach to good quantitative research, all the way from research questions and study design to data preparation and statistics. We concentrate especially on the nature of the variables involved, both in terms of their scale and their role in the design; this has implications for both design and choice of statistics. Although we focus on quantitative research, we also argue that such research should be supplemented with qualitative analyses and considerations of the translation product.
