| 科學方法（英语：scientific method）指的是檢查自然現象、獲取新知識或修正與整合先前已得的知識，所使用的一整套技術。 |
Scientific method (English: scientific method) refers to a whole series of techniques used to examine natural phenomenon, obtain new knowledge, or modify and consolidate previously-obtained knowledge. |
| 為了合乎科學精神，這方法必須建立於收集可觀察、可經驗（empirical）、可量度的證據，並且合乎明確的推理原則。 |
To suit the scientific virtue, this method must be based on collecting observable, empirical, measurable evidences, and conform to clear-cut reasoning principles. |
| 梅里亞姆-韋伯斯特辭典如此定義： |
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as: |
| 科學方法是一種有系統地尋求知識的程序，涉及了以下三個步驟：問題的認知與表述、實驗數據的收集、假說的構成與測試。 |
Scientific method is a kind of systematic pursuit of knowledge, involving these three steps below: the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through experiment, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses. |
| 科學方法是一種持續不停的過程，通常其最初步驟是仔細觀察大自然，人們天生就有一種摘三問四的習性，他們時常會對於周遭現象想出一些奇奇怪怪的問題，進而發展出一些假說來解釋這些問題。 |
Scientific method is a continuous process, whereby the first step, usually, is to observe the nature in details. It is human's nature to keep on questioning. They always think of some weird questions about the happenings around them. Subsequently, they develop into hypotheses to explain these questions. |
| 最好的假說會導致能被多樣檢試的預言。 |
The best hypothesis will lead to prophecy that can be experimented with many ways. |
| 基於檢試的結果，被檢查的假說可能需要加以改善或遭到毅然駁回。 |
Based on the results of experiments, the examined hypothesis may need to be further modified or rejected abruptly. |
| 這整個循環，從預測、檢試到改善，可能會重複多次，甚至會無限期地重複，直到假說被改善到能夠給出預測符合檢試的數據，這時，就可宣布一個科學理論出爐了。 |
This entire cycle from prediction, experiment to modification, may be repeated many times or even repeated endlessly until the hypothesis is modified to be able to produce the same experiment data as the prediction. Then, a scientific theory can be announced. |
| 科學方法即是適切的驗證方法，所以在完整科學研究，以科學態度由動機發起，目的求其「真｣、「實｣、「存」、「在」之結果，於科學精神透過科學的過程方法，最後結果證實或證明。 |
Scientific method is the suitable verification method. Hence, in a complete scientific study, it originates from scientific-driven intention which aims to get evidence-based results with scientific virtues via scientific procedures and methods, and finally it is proven through the results or evidence. |
| 也就是說科學性強調的，係為過程與結果互為的真實程度。 |
This also means, science emphasizes on the accuracy and conformity of the procedures and results. |
