Abstract

The continuous expansion of China's foreign cultural exchanges and the policy of "Chinese culture going out" have a profound impact on China's translation market, which brings more opportunities, but also brings higher requirements for translators. Based on College English teaching, this paper defines the core concept "translation competence", and summarizes the relationship between translation competence and translator competence. Three points of training translation ability are pointed out. The purpose of this paper is to study college English teaching and translation ability training based on the investigation of English translation teaching. A questionnaire survey was conducted among four classes of 2015 English major in petroleum university. The results showed that 63.16% of the students agreed to understand the meaning of the text before translation, and 26.32% of the students agreed to understand the meaning of the original text before translation. Only 5.26% and 5.26% of the students disagreed and disagreed. Students' understanding of professional knowledge of translation is more static than dynamic. They simply regard translation as a collection of translation units and fail to realize the importance of full-text cohesion.
