Oh, there you are, good. Sorry I'm a bit late -- there was a long queue. So, have you worked out how to dealwith this assignment then?
哦，你在這兒啊，不錯(cuò)。對不起，有點(diǎn)遲了。排了很長的隊(duì)。
Not yet, we've only been here a couple of minutes ourselves.
還沒有，我們在這里待了沒多久。
Can you just remind me what the task is exactly?
你能再提醒我一下到底是什么任務(wù)嗎？
Well, there are two, no, three, parts to it: first, we've got to write an essay about ways of collecting data. Then ...
嗯，有兩個(gè)部分，哦不，是三個(gè)。第一，我們需要寫一個(gè)關(guān)于數(shù)據(jù)收集的小文章，然后...
What's the title of the essay exactly?
確切的論文題目是什么？
I've got it here: Assess the two main methods of collecting data in social science research.
我已經(jīng)有一個(gè)題目了：評定在社會(huì)科學(xué)研究中的兩種收集數(shù)據(jù)的方法。
And how much do we need to write?
我們要寫多少字？
Fifteen hundred words. That's for the essay.
1500字。那是論文的字?jǐn)?shù)。
Then, for the second part of the assignment, we have to choose one method of data collection,
然后對這個(gè)任務(wù)的第二部分是我們必須選擇一個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)收集的方法，
and carry out a small-scale study, making appropriate use of the method chosen to gather data from at least five subjects.
適當(dāng)實(shí)施一項(xiàng)小規(guī)模的研究方法，至少從5個(gè)主題中獲取數(shù)據(jù)。
And then we have to write a report on the study? That's right, of three to four thousand words.
然后我們要寫一個(gè)關(guān)于研究的報(bào)告嗎？對。三四千字。
Did you get as far as discussing which form of data collection we should go for questionnaire or interview, isn't it?
你們已經(jīng)討論了調(diào)查問卷和采訪這兩宗數(shù)據(jù)收集方法之中我們選擇哪種這個(gè)問題了，是不是？
Yeah, I think we should use a questionnaire.
是的，我覺得我們應(yīng)該做調(diào)查問卷。
It'll be so much less time-consuming than organising interviews, I reckon.
我覺得那會(huì)比組織面試更節(jié)省時(shí)間。
Once we've agreed on the wording of it, we only have to send it out and wait for the responses.
一旦我們已經(jīng)達(dá)成一致，就只需發(fā)出去等待回應(yīng)。
Yes, I think it probably would be quicker.
是的，我覺得那樣可能更快一些。
