According to the "Interim Provisions on the National Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination" and the "Implementation Measures for the Secondary and Tertiary Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination" issued by the Ministry of Personnel of the People's Republic of China, experts from the National Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination Expert Committee of the China International Publishing Group compiled the "English Secondary Translation Oral and Written Translation Examination Syllabus," which was reviewed and approved by relevant experts organized by the Ministry of Personnel. This syllabus serves as the guiding document for the English Secondary Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination, the basis for examination question development, and an important reference guide for examinees. Based on the knowledge and skills required for actual work as translation professionals, it clearly defines the scope, content, and key areas of the examination, proposing tiered requirements for assessment points. "Mastering" refers to key content, "familiar with" refers to important content, and "understanding" refers to related content. Examinees should comprehensively study and understand these requirements to strive to become qualified translation professionals.
