<p>本文從翻譯教學實踐出發，以表達美味的詞語為對象，整理出日漢機器翻譯的特點和問題，且比較了兩種翻譯機輸出的譯文，並根據問卷調查的結果，提出了使用日漢機器翻譯時應注意的事項。本文的目的是整理機器翻譯的特點和問題，幫助設計能夠支持學習者的翻譯課。從問卷調查的結果得知：翻譯班的學生對機器翻譯 2（DeepL）的結果比機器翻譯 1（Google）更滿意、機器翻譯對約半數的學生有幫助、70%以上的學生經常使用機器翻譯等。另外，透過本文的調查與分析，使用日漢機器翻譯時應注意以下幾點：（1）聽覺和觸覺相關譯詞的問題主要集中在 &quot;ABAB &quot;型擬聲擬態詞以及 &quot;擬聲擬態詞+と+動詞&quot;、（2）嗅覺相關譯詞的問題多為機器翻譯無法判斷正面或負面的詞意、（3）味覺相關譯詞的問題主要為表達多種口味的譯詞常被誤譯、（4）整體來說，機器翻譯存在著無法配合上下文挑選適當詞語或用法、無法辨識詞語的細微差別和漏譯等問題。</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p>This paper presents the characteristics and problems of Japanese-Chinese machine translation from the perspective of translation teaching practice, compares the output of two types of translation machines, and suggests things to note when using Japanese-Chinese machine translation based on the results of a questionnaire survey. The purpose of this paper is to organize the characteristics and problems of machine translation and to help design translation lessons that support learning. The results of the survey showed that students in the translation class were more satisfied with the results of Machine Translation 2(DeepL)than Machine Translation 1 (Google), that Machine Translation was helpful to about half of the students, and that more than 70% of the students used Machine Translation frequently. In addition, through the survey and analysis in this paper, the following points should be noted when using Japanese-Chinese machine translation: (1) The problems of auditory and tactile related translations mainly focus on the &quot;&quot;ABAB&quot;&quot; type of prosody and &quot;&quot;prosody + and + verb&quot;&quot;. (2) The problems of olfactory related translations are mostly due to the inability of machine translation to determine the positive or negative meaning of words. (3) The problems of taste related translations are mainly due to the fact that words expressing multiple flavors are often mis-translated. (4) Overall, machine translators are unable to select appropriate words or usage to match the context, and are unable to recognize subtle differences in words and mis-translations.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of frequent quizzes applied to subject-based business English courses designed for students in Sichuan University of Arts and Science in China. Besides, this study investigates students’ views on design, administration, optimizing of quizzes. A total of fourteen quizzes were administered in the teaching practice of a business English course called International Settlement and Documentation, which was offered to two classes of business English majors in one semester. Then, a questionnaire survey was conducted online and 45 students responded to the questionnaire. Findings and analyses were based on the 45 respondents’ feedback. The study results show that the students had a positive attitude to the application of quizzes on the whole and the quizzes were effective to a large extent in facilitating their acquisition of relevant business knowledge and language items. The vast majority of students were satisfied with the amount of items in quizzes and administration of quizzes. What needs to be improved on in their views focused on diversity of question types. Recommendations on application of frequent quizzes to English teaching, future research and optimizing quizzes were put forward in the end.

Cooperation And Competition

This contribution deals with use of elements of cooperation and competition in teaching at secondary schools as perceived by secondary school teachers. For the research quantitative questionnaire survey is used. The objective of the research is to find out whether secondary school teachers use elements of cooperation and competition in their teaching, eventually up to what extent, then which advantages and disadvantages of these methods they find. Research sample consists of 108 respondents—secondary school teachers. Obtained data were evaluated using descriptive statistics and then interpreted. From the obtained results recommendations for teaching practice in the field of secondary school education are provided in the final part of the contribution.

Purpose A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information from clinical audiologists about rehabilitation options for adult patients who report significant auditory difficulties despite having normal or near-normal hearing sensitivity. This work aimed to provide more information about what audiologists are currently doing in the clinic to manage auditory difficulties in this patient population and their views on the efficacy of recommended rehabilitation methods. Method A questionnaire survey containing multiple-choice and open-ended questions was developed and disseminated online. Invitations to participate were delivered via e-mail listservs and through business cards provided at annual audiology conferences. All responses were anonymous at the time of data collection. Results Responses were collected from 209 participants. The majority of participants reported seeing at least one normal-hearing patient per month who reported significant communication difficulties. However, few respondents indicated that their location had specific protocols for the treatment of these patients. Counseling was reported as the most frequent rehabilitation method, but results revealed that audiologists across various work settings are also successfully starting to fit patients with mild-gain hearing aids. Responses indicated that patient compliance with computer-based auditory training methods was regarded as low, with patients generally preferring device-based rehabilitation options. Conclusions Results from this questionnaire survey strongly suggest that audiologists frequently see normal-hearing patients who report auditory difficulties, but that few clinicians are equipped with established protocols for diagnosis and management. While many feel that mild-gain hearing aids provide considerable benefit for these patients, very little research has been conducted to date to support the use of hearing aids or other rehabilitation options for this unique patient population. This study reveals the critical need for additional research to establish evidence-based practice guidelines that will empower clinicians to provide a high level of clinical care and effective rehabilitation strategies to these patients.
