5.3　Data Analysis on Questionnaire

As a quantitative approach,the questionnaire in this research is mainly designed to seek answers to several concrete questions concerning the more acceptable translations and useful strategies.(https://www.daowen.com)

I have chosen 15 pairs of bilingual subtitles in the sample film Despicable Me 1 as the data in Part I.The advantages of using the 15 pairs of data from one film,rather than different pairs from different 15 films,are: 1) it is much easier for me to introduce the background information of one film than that of all the films; 2) respondents should have enough time to prepare their answers to the questionnaire (i.e.,to be able to watch the film again and to review the translated subtitles of the films); 3) they can use the specific translated subtitles as the data to consider their answers to the other two parts dealing with deeper questions.These advantages are inevitable and necessary for the design of this questionnaire,given that the time for organizing the 100 respondents is limited.Moreover,as the questions all have a certain level of difficulty and require a certain degree of specific knowledge of translation strategies,it is important that respondents are well prepared in order to complete the questionnaire.
