英语专业学生语言能力与翻译能力相关性的实证研究

An Empirical Study on the Correlation Between English Language Competence and Translation Competence of English Majors

英语专业学生的语言能力对其翻译能力的影响不言而喻,文章通过实证研究的方法,分别采用受试学生的英语专业四级考试成绩及CATTI笔译三级真题对受试学生的语言能力及翻译能力进行评估。然后利用SPSS16.0统计软件分析上述两项测试得出的数据。在使用SPSS16.0统计软件时,利用了描述统计(Descriptive Statistics)、皮尔逊相关关系(Pearson Correlation)和线性回归(Linear Regression)这三种方式分析了受试学生英语语言能力与翻译能力之间的关系。得出的结果表明,语言能力与翻译能力之间呈高度正相关关系,语言能力能有效地预测翻译能力。

The English language competence of English majors is an extraordinarily important part in their translation competence.Therefore,the present study assesses the participants’English language competence and their translation competence through their scores of TEM-4(Test for English Majors-Band 4)and the translation test of CATTI Level 3(China Accreditation Test for Translators and Interpreters Level 3).Then all the data from the CATTI Level 3 test and the participants’scores of TEM-4 are analyzed with the Descriptive Statistics,the Pearson Correlation and the Linear Regression Analysis of SPSS16.0.The findings of the present study show that there is significant correlation between the participants’English language competence and their translation competence,which means that the participants’English language competence has a great influence on their translating competence.
