A Concise Course in English-Chinese Translation was specially compiled at the invitation of the university to support this examination.

The Texts section is divided into 10 units, covering 10 areas such as stories, history, geography, economics, culture, literature (I), literature (II), popular science, law, and speeches. Each unit includes one English-to-Chinese translation lesson and one Chinese-to-English translation lesson. Within each lesson, there are comparative readings and exercises, accompanied by hints and explanations. Some hints and explanations are marked with an asterisk (★), as they hold general significance for understanding or translation and should be paid special attention by readers.
