在《速成翻译教程》中,罗宾逊阐述了翻译职业化以后,快速翻译的必要性和可能性,分析了职业译者在翻译市场上需要面对的种种问题,对培养译者无意识翻译能力需注意的问题进行了剖析,并对当代西方主要的翻译理论流派作了评介。作为一本以人为本的教程,该书不仅切合西方的实际,对中国翻译教学界也有很大的参考价值,是一本较为合适的职业译者培训教材。

In his in-depth analysis of fast or subconscious translation in Becoming A Translator, Douglas Robinson explores in great length the various factors the translator as a learner must pay attention to while building reliable translation experience. He also discusses the problems a professional translator has to confront in order to survive the translation market. His analysis and discussion as well as detailed comments on the mainstream contemporary Western translation theories may enlighten Chinese translators and researchers. And the user-friendly textbook may well be used to improve translator training programs in China.
