本文是对新发布的《普通高等学校本科翻译专业教学指南》的最新解读。《翻译教学指南》是推动构建中国特色翻译本科专业人才培养体系的重要文件之一,在人才培养的理念、毕业生培养的目标、课程设置方面突出了以下特色:首先,在人才培养理念上,坚持立德树人的根本任务;其次,在培养目标中,引入“语言服务”概念,倡导毕业生服务需求、服务国家战略;第三,在课程设置中,增加了“翻译技术”和“研究方法与学术写作”两门专业核心课程,培养本科翻译专业学生的技术能力和基本研究素养。

This paper offers a fresh interpretation of the newly released Teaching Guide for Undergraduate Translation and Interpreting Majors(hereinafter referred to as the Teaching Guide). As one of the important documents providing guidelines for constructing undergraduate programs in translation and interpreting with Chinese characteristics, the new Teaching Guide is distinctive from previous versions in three respects. First, as far as the training of competent practitioners is concerned, the Teaching Guide stresses the need to build strong moral character as the fundamental task of education. Secondly, the idea of "language service" is introduced for the first time into the definition of the overall educational objective, whereby it is demanded that graduates from the programs concerned should meet the market demand and be able to serve the national strategies for socio-economic development. Thirdly, two core courses, namely "Translation Technology" and "Translation and Interpreting Studies: Research Methods and Academic Writing", are added to the curriculum, with the aim to improve the students’ technical and research literacy.
