軍校生翻譯錯誤研究

Abstract

本研究旨在探討軍校外文系學生翻譯錯誤以及翻譯困難，研究採量性和質性研究方法，研究材料來自教育部中英文翻譯能力檢定試題，研究對象為十位軍校外文系四年級學生，依據其學測英文科成績分為高成就與低成就兩組，並於測驗後實施訪談。研究結果發現，高低成就學生在字彙量的部分還需持續加強，練習的時數以及強度也必須提升；而低成就學生需重拾文法課本，將過往不熟悉的觀念逐一釐清，並廣泛閱讀，以提升中英文程度。研究最後根據上述分析資料、訪談結果以及研究者的自身經歷提出建議，希望能提供學生們翻譯學習以及校方教學作為參考。The purpose of this study is to explore the cadets' translation errors and difficulties in Chinese-English Translation in the Department of Applied Foreign Languages at Republic of China Military Academy.
