The Dilemma of Interdisciplinary MTI Students and Its Solutions

本研究基于扎根理论,分析了跨专业翻译硕士生所面临的困境及成因,并针对性提出解决对策。研究方法采用一对一开放式访谈,共有28名在读和已毕业的跨专业翻译硕士生及4名导师参与。研究发现,跨专业翻译硕士生主要面临相关专业能力不足、相关培训缺失、求职/工作受影响、个人发展迷茫、新领域适应不佳五种困境。由此得出,培养单位应当采用增设相关基础能力培训课程、提高垂直领域渗透度、完善行业导师机制、提供更多行业信息与机会等对策,帮助跨专业翻译硕士生摆脱困境,从而提升翻译硕士整体培养质量。
