鄧志輝著的《翻譯專長與翻譯的不確定性管理過
程》取認知心理學的專長理論視角，以實證方法研究
、對比專家級譯者與非專家級譯者在翻譯過程中對各
種不確定性進行管理時的認知行為模式，旨在辨識翻
譯專長的特征與屬性，並探索其對於翻譯能力培養與
翻譯教學的借鋻意義，是基於翻譯學與認知心理學的
跨學科研究。整體研宄取多個案設計，包含本領域專
家譯者、“熟手”級非專家譯者、“學徒”級非專家
譯者、不同領域專家譯者四組個案，采取三維法收集
過程數據，個案內數據分析采取質性研究數據處理三
步法：數據縮減、數據顯示、和發現結論，個案間數
據分析則采取模式匹配法，以作出研究結論、討論研
宄啟示、和提出建議。
研究發現，專家譯者群體在進行翻譯的不確定性
管理時，其認知模式表現出某些非專家譯者群體所不
具備的獨特共性，如認知過程的高度自動化、獲取解
決方案的手段最優化、對譯文與原文形式對應的高模
糊容忍度、對“影響”與“原因”這兩大認知繫統的
最優化結合運用、豐富充足的元認知活動、以及簡潔
明了的不確定性管理認知模式等。研究表明這些專家
行為特征中有一部分並不受翻譯專長領域所限。本研
究對於辨識翻譯專長的特征與屬性、了解翻譯能力發
展的條件和翻譯專長的獲得與保持、進而應用於翻譯
教學與培訓等問題，都能提供豐富的洞見與有益的啟
示。
