摘要

本篇論文主要探討英中視譯對應錯誤（binary errors），錯誤的原因，以及補救的辦法。首先說明對應錯誤與非對應錯誤（non-binary errors）的區分，以及側重對應錯誤的原因，其次說明資料蒐集的方法，接下來報告結果，並將對應錯誤整理分類，並呈現實例，然後探討每一項錯誤的可能原因與教學上因應之道，最後並提出往後研究及教學的建議。英中視譯對應錯誤依原因分為下列八項：缺乏常識，不識複合字或片語，不解幽默或特殊風格，假設錯誤，無法迅速正確分析繁複的語法，遇上陌生的字眼或不熟悉的用法（專業術語），不懂文化指涉，緊張粗心字詞搭配錯誤。有些錯誤實例屬綜合之錯誤，分類較為困難，只能就其較為明顯之錯誤歸類。其中前七項屬於解讀英文文本的錯誤，第八項則為中文表達的錯誤。
