The Error Analysis Of The Same-translated Verbs

The�Same-translated Phenomenon�(e.g.�??�?�??�are same-translated into�experience�)in the word list of textbook often induces Chinese learners to misuse the same-translated words,which may not be similar in semantics and have different correspondence with the meanings of English words.The same-translated verbs(like the�??�and�??�,which are same-translated into�visit�)have the highest proportion in the textbooks.According to the corpus and questionnaire investigation of the English speakers in middle and high Chinese levels,different semantic types of same-translated verbs have different error rate.The same-translated verbs which have close semantic relation(e.g.�?�and�??�)and correspond to the same meanings of English words(e.g.�??�and�?(??)�)tend to be misused in a higher rate.The errors of same-translated verbs can be divided into three types:the misuse of meaning,the improper grammar,and the wrongly typed analogy.Besides,the misuse of the same-translated verbs have directivity:some same-translated words(A-B)always misuse A to replace B,which can be defined as one-way misuse(e.g.�??-?-sing�);some always misuse A to replace B and B to replace A,which can be defined as two-ways misuse(e.g.�??-??-feel�).Some of the one-way misuses have similar characteristics:monosyllabic verbs are easy to be misused as separable words(e.g.�?�is misused as�??�);Paratactic compound words are easy to be misused as synonymous monosyllabic verbs.Except for the effect of�same-translated phenomenon�,the uniqueness of the Chinese vocabulary system,the strategies of the learners and the teaching methods also contribute to the misuse of same-translated verbs.The improvement of the textbook word list should stress on the same-translated verbs that have far semantic relations(e.g.�?�and�??�are translated as�move�)and correspond to the different meanings of English words(e.g.�??�and�??�are translated as�feel�),because they are easier to be improved and more effective in results.The improvement of teaching should emphasize more on the�precautions�instead of the�post processing�and tries to lower the error rate in daily words teaching.
