2. Most applications are too complex for one mode of direct manipulation to cover all their features. Consequently, most applications offer a set of different tools to users.
对用直接操作来覆盖所有功能的模式来说,多数操作都太复杂,所以大部分应用程序为用户提供了一系列不同的工具。

4. List the complete set of behavioral variables observed. If your data is at variance with your assumptions, you need to add, subtract, or modify the roles and behaviors you anticipated. If the variance is significant enough, you may consider additional interviews to cover any gaps in the new behavioral ranges that you’ve discovered.
列出来所观察到行为变量的完整集合,如果结果和假设有出入,那么你就要对预期的行为和角色进行添加、删减或者修改;如果出入很大,你可能要考虑增加一些新的用户访谈等来弥补发现的新行为模式的数据不足。

6. Although, strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a standard working set that will cover the needs of all users, research and modeling of users and their use patterns can yield a smaller subset of functions that designers can be reasonably confident are accessed frequently by most users.
严格地说,虽然没有一个标准的工作集可以覆盖所有用户的需求,但是通过用户使用模式的研究和建模可以产生一个较小的功能子集,设计师完全有理由确信它是多数用户经常使用的。

9. People don’t need to know all the details of how a complex mechanism actually works in order to use it, so they create a cognitive shorthand for explaining it, one that is powerful enough to cover their interactions with it, but that doesn’t necessarily reflect its actual inner mechanics.
人们使用产品时,并不需要了解其中复杂机构实际运转的所有细节,因此人们创造出一种认知上的简捷的解释方式。 这种方式虽然并不一定能够反映产品实际的内部工作机制,但对于人们与产品的交互来说已经足够用了。

10. However, these interviews can overlap. If we believe that use of an enterprise product may differ, for example, by geographic location, industry, and company size, then research at a single small electronics manufacturer in Taiwan would allow us to cover several variables at once.
然而这些访谈可能重叠,假设我们认为某个企业产品的使用情况因地理位置、产业和公司规模而异,如关于中国台湾地区某一小型电子制造企业的研究可以同时涵盖多个变量。
