Mistakes in English usage in translation often occur in our daily life. Mr Leung introduced different kinds of mistakes in English usage, focusing on grammatical ones.<\/p><p>Mr Leung compared Traditional Grammar and Systemic Functional Grammar with examples, \u00a0explaining that a word might be polysemous and can serve different functions. He then demonstrated how to deal with English articles in translation and analysed the structures of different English tenses. Mr Leung concluded the talk by encouraging the audience to pay attention to the differences between Chinese and English grammar in order to avoid making mistakes during translation.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1267d62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1267d62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"600\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Photo-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Mr Leung introduces different kinds of common mistakes in English usage.\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Photo-1.jpg 863w, https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Photo-1-768x440.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Mr Leung introduces different kinds of common mistakes in English usage. <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8d4ad3e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8d4ad3e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0b5ac6c\" data-id=\"0b5ac6c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6615b1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6615b1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"600\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Photo-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Mr Leung analyses the structures of different English tenses.\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Photo-2.jpg 884w, https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Photo-2-768x415.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Mr Leung analyses the structures of different English tenses. <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"21 May 2022 Mr Lawrence Leung, Senior Lecturer of the School of Translation and Foreign Languages, delivered on 21 May 2022 a public lecture entitled \u2018Found in Translation: Common Mistakes in English Usage\u2019, the second public lecture on common mistakes in language use in Hong Kong hosted by the School.
