【摘要】 “语言不能脱离文化而存在，不能脱离社会继承下来的各种做法和信念，这些做法和信念的总体决定了我们生活的性质”。(Sapir，1921：221)要学好外语离不开对目的语社会、文化的了解。因此，培养学生对文化差异的敏感性、宽容性以及处理文化差异的灵活性，培养他们与以英语为母语的人进行交流、沟通、相互理解的意愿和兴趣，自然成为外语教学的重要目标之一。熟练的英语写作只是英语语言能力的一个方面，其它还有听、说、读。学习好一门外语，这四种能力是必要的，并相互联系的。在汉语和英语写作模式上有许多的不同，对中国学生的英语写作造成的其中一个负面影响就是他们在写作中的翻译行为。本文主要分析中国学生英语写作中的失误，包括在词汇方面、中式英语等，还采用了语言学和文化理论讨论在中国学生的英语写作被视为翻译行为的具体例子。作者总结出一些措施，目的是克服学生写作中的翻译行为，帮助学生提高英语写作水平。本文共分成五章。第一章，列出本文所依据的基本理论。本文拟以英汉语言及文化差异为原则来研究中国学生英语写作中的失误，主要关注文化差异影响下词汇、中式英语、句子和文章结构的问题。第二章概述国内写作领域研究现状。主要对前人的研究情况进行总结、分析。指出在英语写作在跨文化交流中的重要性。介绍本研究的现实性。最后对本文将进行的写作错误分析作一个综述。第三章分析学生作文中的具体例子，找出并总结形成这些问题的原因。根据母语负迁移理论，主要从词汇、中式英语、英语模式方面进行分析。第四章从文化差异方面分析英汉写作模式的不同。第五章对贵州大学外国语学院英语专业二年级的60名学生所作的英语写作实验。实验结果表明：母语负迁移是学生作文错误的主要原因；翻译法在学生英语写作过程中占据着重要作用。可以通过适当的英语写作训练来减少这些问题。第六章总结对英语写作错误的考察结果。并根据自己的研究结果提出合理有效的建议。更多还原

【Abstract】 "Language can’t be isolated from culture, and can’t betray the inherited method and belief. Our nature of life was determined by these methods and beliefs." (Sapir, 1921:221) To learn a foreign language well, it seems impossible to deny the understanding of the target language society and culture. Therefore, it becomes one of the natural objectives to train students’ curiosity, tolerance and flexibility to the cultural discrimination; to train students’ inclination and interest to communication and keep mutual understanding with native speakers. The proficiency of English writing is only one aspect of the language capabilities, the others being listening, speaking, and reading. To learn a foreign language well, these four capabilities are essential and connected with each other. There are many differences in English and Chinese writing patterns, which may result in the negative influences on English writing of Chinese students. One of the results is the translational action in Chinese student’s English writings. This paper mainly deals with the analysis of the mistakes in students’ writing, found in vocabulary, Chinglish, etc. These mistakes are usually considered as "translational" behavior. It also employs the theories of linguistics and culture in the discussion of the specific cases regarded as translational behavior in the English writings of the Chinese students. The paper concludes with some measures proposed by the author for overcoming the translational action in their writings and promoting them to write authentic English compositions.The thesis is divided into five chapters. Chapter One expounds the basic theories concerning English composition. The author intends to use the theories dealing with the differences of language and culture between English and Chinese as the principle to analyze the actual errors in students’ writing, with the focus on the influence of language and cultural differences in vocabulary, Chinglish, sentence-making and structures of English composition.Chapter Two is an outline of the current research results of English writing in China. It includes the author’s analyses and summaries of the previous studies. Thereafter, the author points out the importance, practicality and significance of English writing in cross-cultural communication. And also a brief introduction of mistakes analysis in this thesis was given by author.Chapter Three lists quite a number of typical mistakes found in Chinese students’ compositions. The author investigates into the causes that make the Chinese students unable to express their ideas in correct English. It is found that most of the mistakes come about as a result of improper choice of words, Chinglish, Chinese writing patterns, as well as translational behavior.Chapter Four analyzes students’ mistakes in the light of cultural differences, especially in Chinese and English writing conventions.Chapter Five is a case study on native language interference in writing of 60 second-year English majors at Guizhou University. The major results of the study reveal that the negative transfer of native language is one major source of the errors in Chinese college students’ English writing and translation from Chinese into English is one major technique in the writing process of Chinese ESL students. And they both can be reduced by proper training.Chapter Six is the conclusion of the research. The author makes some reasonable and effective suggestions in the hope of helping solve the problems found in the teaching learning of English writing in China.更多还原
