Abstract
The research aimed to study the characteristics or the patterns of translation errors in past participial phrases in English-Thai translation. This research used a qualitative approach. The data were obtained from the translation tests collected from the sample group of 230, English major students, Burapha University. The result found that the patterns of translation errors in past participial phrases were characterized into 11 patterns, namely 1) deletion or non-translation of past participial phrases 2) translation of past participial phrases into independent clauses 3) translation of past participial phrases into active voice 4) translation of past participial phrases into adjective clauses 5) translation of past participial phrases into prepositional phrases 6) translation of past participial phrases into adverbial phrases 7) translation of past participial phrases into verb phrases 8) translation of past participial phrases into noun phrases 9) translation of past participial phrases into question particles 10) malfunctions of clause-linking words and 11) inappropriate or unnatural word choices in a target language. This research showed that the patterns of translation errors could be primarily illustrated by the syntactic accounts as well as the uses of a target language.
