本文回顾过去二十余年来口译研究中运用有声思维法的发展历程，总结并介绍有声思维口译研究在口译过程、口译策略及口译质量方面所取得的进展。随后，在参考Lincoln & Guba (1985)提出的自然主义研究信度衡量标准的基础上，制订出了有声思维口译研究的量尺，并以此来考察9篇相关文献的总体研究设计，发现这些研究在信度与效度方面都存在不少不足。本文亦对将来的有声思维口译研究如何确保信度和效度方面提出了建议。

The paper reviews the major studies of the past two decades that have applied think-aloud protocols (TAPs) to the study of interpreting. It summarizes TAPs development in the process, strategy and quality of interpreting. Drawing on the safeguards for the trustworthiness of naturalistic inquiries proposed by Lincoln & Guba (1985), the paper specifies a set of criteria which are then used to evaluate the research designs of nine interpreting studies that adopted TAPs as their research method. It is shown that most of the surveyed studies did not meet these criteria. The paper concludes by giving suggestions on how to ensure the reliability and validity of future TAPs interpreting research.
