一家德国翻译公司寄了张问答卷来，其中的各领域报价都要按行报（Price in EURO/line）。问卷的开头有这么一段：

When the questionnaire mentions no. of lines, this is based on DIN standard of 55 characters including spaces.

除了价格外，后面也提到lines：

Please indicate your desired workload/workrate in lines.

Workload No. of lines

我是应该自做主张改成按字报，还是按他们要求按行报呢？55个字符一行大概也就word一行的2/3左右，而且所有材料和领域的报价都要按行报确实让人不放心。一行字多、字少实在差远了。

按行数计费 Oct 15, 2007

lbon,

这是德国的正常标准做法，按字数计费反而不利。许多跟中国译者有经验的公司当然知道用字数计费，那至少多出 10% 的利润。老实说，我的项目就是这样来的，所以我能给合作者好价钱，可以挑选最佳人选。

一行有多长？ Oct 15, 2007

多谢。

这篇问答卷中写一行按55字符算，而一般word稿中一满行可能有70-80字符，平均一行12-18个单词。一般实际拿来的德国稿件中，一行一般有多少字呢？

标准行的字符数是 55，德文可能只有 6 个字到 12 个字。德文的情况和英文不同，但他们照样算标准行的 55 个字符，所以你可以约算 10 到 20 个英文字，取其中间值 15 个字，这样算还包管你多赚 10%。

你可以不用担心他们给你以 70 - 80 个字符的字行来算行数，他们已经有一套算法，很清楚计算字符数，再换算成标准行的行数，几乎不会有公司会让你吃亏。
