摘要
Translation for language teaching is different from general translation which is characterized with Faithfulness, Expressiveness, and Elegance. The differences lie in vocabulary, structure, and discourse. The extreme emphasis of translation skills will make it hard to learn certain language elements for the English learners. The paper makes an analysis on the three levels of translation for language teaching from the perspective of Skopos Theory, aiming at drawing attention from the translation teachers to care more about students' demands of learning language elements through translation.
