Abstract: Translation error analysis constitutes an important part of translation teaching and research. On the basis of a selfbuilt learners corpus, the present study mainly addresses the linguistic errors in translating English texts into Chinese by English learners. The authors collected the engineering texts translated by junior English and translation majors at Chongqing Jiaotong University, established a parallel corpus and conducted a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the translation errors found in the corpus. Our findings reveal that interlingual errors outnumber intralingual ones. Of the interlingual errors, improper use of subjects in sentences is the most frequently seen; while of the intralingual errors, grammatical errors rank the top.

Key words: translation error, learners corpus, interlingual error, intralingual error, translation pedagogy

摘要： 误译是翻译教学与研究的重要组成部分，基于学习者语料库探讨汉英翻译中的语言误译情况。以重庆交通大学英语和翻译专业大三学生的工程翻译实践材料为基础建设双语平行语料库，统计和分析其中的语言误译现象，结果显示语际误译比语内误译更为常见。语际误译中，主语不当的出现频率最高；语内误译中，语法错误的频率最高。
