So shall we plan what we have to do for this assignment?
那么，我们要不要计划一下怎么完成这次作业呢？
OK.
好的。
First, we have to decide on our research question. So how about 'Is there a relationship between hours of sleep and number of dreams?'
首先，我们必须确定研究问题。“睡眠时间和做梦次数之间有关系吗？”这个怎么样？
OK. Then we need to think about who we'll do the study on. About 12 people?
可以。然后我们需要考虑我们的研究对象是谁。大约12个人？
Right. And shall we use other psychology students?
好的。我们要用其他心理学专业的学生做研究对象吗？
Let's use people from a different department. What about history?
选择其他院系的学生吧。历史专业的学生怎么样？
Yes, they might have interesting dreams! Or literature students?
可以，他们可能做过有趣的梦！或者文学专业的学生呢？
I don't really know any.
我真的一个也不认识。
OK, forget that idea. Then we have to think about our methodology. So we could use observation, but that doesn't seem appropriate.
好吧，别管这个了。然后我们必须思考一下方法论。我们可以使用观察法，但这似乎并不合适。
No. It needs to be self-reporting I think. And we could ask them to answer questions online.
是的。我认为它需要自我报告。我们可以让他们在线上答题。
But in this case, paper might be better as they'll be doing it straight after they wake up ... in fact while they're still half-asleep.
但对于这次研究，在纸上答题可能会更好，因为他们可以在睡醒后直接答题。事实上，他们答题的时候可能还是半睡半醒。
Right. And we'll have to check the ethical guidelines for this sort of research.
好的。我们需要确认一下这类研究的道德准则。
Mm, because our experiment involves humans, so there are special regulations.
嗯，因为我们的实验涉及人类，所以有特别的规定。
Yes, I had a look at those for another assignment I did.
是的，我在做另一个作业时看到了这个。
There's a whole section on risk assessment, and another section on making sure they aren't put under any unnecessary stress.
有一整节是关于风险评估的，还有一节是关于确保他们不会受到任何不必要的压力的。
Let's hope they don't have any bad dreams!
希望他们不要做恶梦！
Yeah.
是的。
Then when we've collected all our data we have to analyse it and calculate the correlation between our two variables, that's time sleeping and number of dreams and then present our results visually in a graph.
然后，当我们收集了所有的数据后，我们必须对其进行分析，并计算两个变量（即睡眠时间和做梦次数）之间的相关性，然后用图表直观地呈现我们的结果。
Right. And the final thing is to think about our research and evaluate it. So that seems quite straightforward.
没错。最后一件事是思考我们的研究并对其进行评估。因此，整个内容看起来很简单易懂。
Yeah. So now let's...
是的。那么现在让我们……
