吴恩达老师的「反思式三步翻译法」非常有效，它通过让模型自我审视翻译结果并提出改进建议，进一步提升翻译质量。然而，直接将该方法应用于 SRT 格式字幕翻译却存在一些挑战。

SRT 字幕格式的特殊要求

SRT 格式字幕有严格的格式要求：

字幕之间使用两个空行隔开。

示例：

1
00:00:01,950 --> 00:00:04,430
五老星系中发现了有几分子,
2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,780
我们离第三类接触还有多元。
3
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:09,880
微博真是展开拍摄任务已经进来周年,
4
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:12,920
最近也传过来许多过去难以拍摄到的照片。

SRT 翻译中的常见问题

在使用 AI 翻译 SRT 字幕时，可能会出现以下问题：

翻译质量问题：

常见错误示例：

像上面所述，当前后两条字幕在语法上属于一句时，很可能会被翻译为同一条，导致结果字幕条数缺少

而格式出现错误直接导致后续依赖srt的流程无法进行，不同模型出现的错误和出错概率各不相同，相对来说，智能程度越高的模型，越可能返回合法的符合要求的内容，而本地部署的小规模模型几乎压根不可用。

不过鉴于三步反思法对翻译质量的提升，还是尽量尝试了下。最终选择使用 gemini-1.5-flash 小小尝试一下，主要因为它的智能程度足够、而且免费，除了限制频繁，其他几乎无限制。

撰写提示词思路

按照吴恩达的三步反思工作流，撰写提示词

所不同的是加强要求返回的内容务必是合法的SRT格式，虽然它未必百分百遵从。

搭建简单api

三步反思模式一个问题是额外消耗多得多的token，提示词变长，输出结果变长，另外因Gemini的频率限制，超频会返回429报错，需要在每次请求之后暂停一段时间。

采用 flask 搭建后端api，前台使用 bootstrap5 简单做个单页，总体界面如下

显然国内想使用 Gemini 必须有梯子

返回结果示例

1
00:00:01,950 --> 00:00:04,430
Several molecules have been discovered in the five-star system,
2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,780
We are still multiple universes away from third-type contact.
3
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:09,880
Weibo has been carrying out filming missions for years now,
4
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:12,920
Many previously difficult-to-capture photos have been transmitted recently.
5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,500
In early June, astronomers published this photo in Nature,
6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,180
Outside the blue core,
7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,380
There\'s also this circle of orange light,
8
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:23,740
This is a new drama-scale sweet donut,
9
00:00:24,380 --> 00:00:25,640
This is a portal.
10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,100
This is the generation ring of an alien civilization,

* **Line 1:** "Five-star system" is likely a mistranslation.  It probably refers to a five-member committee or group, not a star system. Clarify the context.
* **Line 2:** "Multiple universes" seems like an over-exaggeration.  Rephrase for clarity and accuracy.
* **Line 3:** "Weibo" should be explained as a Chinese social media platform.  "Filming missions" is unclear.  Does it mean "posting videos/images"?
* **Line 8:** "Drama-scale sweet donut" is a nonsensical literal translation. Figure out the intended meaning.
* **Line 9:** "Portal" seems out of context.  Verify the intended meaning.
* **Line 10:** "Generation ring" is likely a mistranslation.  Clarify the context.
* **Line 11:** "Organic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons" is overly technical for a general audience. Simplify if possible.
* **Line 12 and 14:** Use the correct formatting for the galaxy\'s name: SPT0418-47.
* **Line 15:** "It hasn\'t been shortened" is awkward. Remove or rephrase.
* **Line 28:**  The name of the organization and the resource should be translated more naturally and accurately.  Consider breaking this long line into two for better readability.
* **Line 29:**  "Cute plush dolls" may sound childish. Consider rephrasing as "animated characters" or similar.
* **Line 35:** "James Webb Space Telescope" should be used consistently throughout. Shortening to "Webb Telescope" after the first mention is acceptable.
* **Line 44:** "SPD048" is likely a typo.  It should be SPT0418-47 to be consistent.
* **Line 45-46:**  "Standard beautiful photo" is redundant.  Simplify to "beautiful photo".
* **Line 48:** "Grovitational Lenshin" is a typo. Correct to "Gravitational Lensing".
* **Line 50:** The sentence is incomplete. Finish the thought.

Q1: 反思工作流与传统机器翻译有何不同？

A1: 反思工作流引入了自我评估和优化机制，模拟人类译者的思考过程，能够产生更加精准和自然的翻译结果。

Q2: 使用反思工作流需要多长时间？

A2: 虽然反思工作流需要多次AI处理，但通常只比传统方法多花费10–20秒，考虑到翻译质量的提升，这点时间投资是值得的。

Q3: 反思工作流能保证字幕翻译结果一定是合法srt吗

A3: 不能，仍可能出现空行、同原始字幕数不一致的问题，例如前后两条字幕，后边一条仅有3-5个文字，而且语法上属于上面一句的连续，那么翻译结果很可能会合并为一条
