1.2 Significance of the Research
It is essential and necessary to find the common errors in students’ translation. Presentresearch supplies some evidence and information for teachers, researchers and students, whichwill be discussed as follows. The significance of this research will be introduced fromtheoretical and practical significance.The research supplies research data for other researchers about the EA of senior onestudents’ C-E translation for future study. Besides, this research enriches the output theory andEA theory to a broader sense. In addition, teachers can enrich their theoretical knowledgeabout English translation. It is helpful for English teachers to use EA theory to adjust theirinstruction of English translation.This research findings may contribute something to the translation teaching and learning.First for teachers.

According to students’ errors,teachers can make corresponding teaching schedule.Second for students. EA is indispensable to the learners themselves, because it can helpstudents to know their weakness in translation and the causes of translation errors, so they willspend more time on the language knowledge what they have not mastered.Third for researchers. EA provides researchers evidence of how language is learned oracquired, what strategies or procedures the learner is employing in his or her discovery oflanguage.In fact, errors occur frequently in students’ translation practice, and many students thinkthat translation is difficult. Therefore, in this thesis, the author focuses on translation errors,trying to employ EA to explore the causes of translation errors and to search for effectiveways to lessen errors of senior one students’ translation.
