- 政府公文 大致得三種做法 一係 subject oficefr自撰 二係交屬下AO/EO 代筆 三係搵OLO (法定語文主任) 幫手 前兩者 多數都只係 識字 夠寫 report 酬酢文章或稍需文采嘅時候就只有隨心而行 想寫乜就寫乜 有時就算搵OLO 睇/改過 最後都係班end-users 話事 如果主事者行年未過五十 啲中文恐怕都只係有限公司 駢四驪六之類識睇已經算好 唔好講話識寫 啲subject oficefrs/AO/EO 唔掂 搵OLO 會唔會好啲呢 以前呢班人叫CLO (中文主任) 中文咪應該叻好多囉 理論上係 但實際上唔少做到高級嘅老前輩 譯啲又臭又長嘅 technical+statutory texts 二三十年 一早已經 近墨者黑 年輕啲嘅 古文知識一樣係有限公司 - 重英興中係教育制度死症 你入到各間大學嘅翻譯系睇下啲人中文定英文叻啲 平日睇 Jane Austen 多定李杜高岑多 已經知呢個職系會點 (都未計非語文科目啲畢業生) Subject oficefrs/AO/EO 唔掂 幫手頂嘅 OLO 都係五十步笑百步 政府啲中文公文唔死火就有鬼

- The problem with not telilng them you are doing a survey is the legal issue. Often people do not like to be tied to their results. They do not want to be singled out or lumped in with a group they do not want to be associated with. Yes, the reliability of the study is indeed a factor. A perfect example would be personality tests. When people take those, they are likely to pick traits that they see as favorable rather than apply to them. Here is where product research and personality tests split ways. Many people are likely to want things to be better than they are. If the ethnography research is directed to what they experience rather than who they are we can get good results in seeing their reaction to the question. Confusing? I hope so. Here is a clearer direction. When we ask someone a question we measure both their answer and their correlation to other answers. We may ask if they would improve the hotel service by say, offering free breakfast, and also by asking how an on site concierge service might improve their satisfaction. While the questions may be unconnected on the surface, they both ask about the importance of hotel features beyond the room. People may be unwilling to talk about their plans while staying at the hotel, but ask about these features and people may be more honest. Sometimes the straightest way to an answer is not the most useful.
