Abstract
The present thesis reports a study on the quality of the translated text in computer-aided translation practice. The author assumes that the quality of the translated text may be greatly influenced by the quality of the translation memory (TM) database. That is to say, the poor quality of the TM database may lead to the poor quality of the translated text. Then a translation experiment is designed to test whether the problem proposed by the author do exist. After the experiment and the data analysis process, the results prove the existence of the problem and support the assumption of the author.
