Features: This textbook is specifically designed for senior English majors in universities as pre-class preparation, in-class exercises, and post-class practice for translation courses. On one hand, it strives to be rich in content, professional yet easy to understand, enabling students to grasp the necessary translation theories and methods through self-study, thus saving time for in-class exercises. On the other hand, to enhance students' translation skills, the book includes dedicated in-class exercises and extra-curricular extension exercises after each chapter, providing more opportunities for practice. The materials are engaging, diverse in style and topic, well-balanced in difficulty and volume, closely related to each chapter's content, and also provide reference translations. The aim is to inspire diverse translation approaches and encourage comparison to refine and improve, offering a reference for readers' translation practice. Additionally, considering the needs of current students and alumni aspiring to work in translation, the book is designed and written in alignment with the examination syllabus set by the "National Translation Professional Qualification Examination" commission. It includes discourse translation content, which is rarely found in translation textbooks, to strengthen the study of discourse translation. At the same time, the book strives to make the theories and practical methods universally applicable, suitable not only for English-to-Chinese translation but also for Chinese-to-English translation, helping students quickly familiarize themselves with translation approaches and more effectively and efficiently complete undergraduate translation courses and the designated textbook for the "National Translation Professional Qualification Examination."
