| Description |
The objective of this paper is to bring together the Thai-Chinese translation errors made by 40 second-year students majoring in Chinese at Thaksin University. This was done by making a comparison of their pre- and post-course translation skills and assessing their errors in the translation process and their causes. The course data were compiled by applying two kinds of research methodologies, specifically a unit of translation exercises and an identical test prior to and following the course. A statistical t-test was used as a tool in the data analysis process. This study showed that there are four main reasons for the common mistakes made by Thai students. First, Thai students tend to apply the structures to which they are accustomed in their mother tongue. Second, they do not categorize Chinese words correctly. Third, there is a difference between the grammatical structures of the two languages. The final factor is the students' carelessness in translating. In addition, it is found that there are five teaching methods to deal with students' translation problems. Keywords: Errors, Thai-Chinese Translation, Chinese Major Students
