A competent business translator/interpreter must be skillful in interlingual conversion,sufficiently motivated by a sense of the translator's subjectivity,and thoroughly familiar with the business world by possessing an encyclopedic knowledge about a wide range of relevant subjects.Proceeding from this general assumption,this paper surveys the current state of business translator/interpreter training in China and,on the basis of the findings that result,proposes some curricular objectives for the MBT(Master of Business Translation) programs so as to help bring about a market-oriented optimal mode of pedagogy for cultivating qualified translators/interpreters.Stressing the need to base such a mode on an interaction among relevant social,cultural,cognitive factors,this paper calls for a fresh perspective on translation teaching and research.
