- 3. What this means in practice is that each identified role, behavioral variable, demographic variable, and environmental variable identified in the persona hypothesis should be explored in four to six interviews (sometimes more if a domain is particularly complex).
- 也就是说，在具体实施过程中，每一个在人物角色假设中标志的角色、行为变量、人口统计变量和环境变量都应该在4次~6次访谈中进行探究。

- 4. Thankfully, in recent times developers have commonly implemented a variable auto-scroll rate as shown in Figure 19-7, where the automatic scrolling increases in speed as the cursor gets closer to the window edge.
- 近来，有一些开发人员共同开发出了一个自动滚屏的变体，如图19-8所示。 当光标与窗口边界的距离越近，自动滚屏的速度就会增加。

- 5. Size is also an ordered and quantitative variable, which means that people automatically sequence objects in terms of their size and tend to assign relative quantities to those differences; if we have four sizes of text, we assume relative importance increases with size, and that bold type is more important than regular.
- 尺寸也是顺序和可以量化的变量。 这意味着人们可以按照物体的大小自动地将它们排序，并在主观上为这些不同赋予相应的值。 如果我们所采用的文本有4种尺寸，我们便会认为尺寸越大的文字也越重要，粗体比普通体要重要。

- 8. Value is also an ordered variable—for example, lower-value (darker) colors on a map are easy to interpret as deeper water or denser population.
- 值同样也是顺序的变量，例如，较低值（较暗）的颜色在地图上用来标识较深的水域或者较密的人口。

- 9. The desired outcome of this step is to accurately represent the way multiple subjects cluster with respect to each significant variable (see Figure 5-4).
- 在这一步骤中，我们期望得到的结果是精确地将多个访问主体用每个显著的变量表达出来（参见图5-4）。

- 10. After you are satisfied that you have identified the set of significant behavioral variables exhibited by your interview subjects, the next step is to map each interviewee against each variable.
- 从采访主体的数据中我们所发现并确定了的行为变量集合，当我们成功完成这一步后，便可以进行下一步，即将每一个访问对象和每一个行为变量对应起来。
