Abstract

Translation competence is crucial for both academic and professional success. After exploring the deficiencies in current college English translation teaching, this paper proposes to strengthen translation teaching for non-English majors in college English teaching in the e-learning era, which is also in line with the requirements of Guidelines on College English Teaching. A translation teaching experiment was conducted based on the PACTE translation competence model. The results of the data analysis showed that translation teaching based on this model really made a difference in non-English majors’ translation competence.
