Setting out from the shortfalls of present EST translation textbooks,i.e.,similar structure and lacking diversity,we survey teachers and students of EST translation,and find problems regarding example choosing and lack of emphasis on CAT technology.Based on translation theory and translation talent training theory,a new“projectized”approach to compiling EST translation textbooks is put forward,which advocates that translation textbooks construct an environment with an initiator,consignor,original writer,translator,user,and receiver.The approach is expected to promote the practical value of EST translation textbooks and empower them with the ability required by the translation industry.
