加拿大和香港翻译专业本科课程设置比较及其启示

论文摘要

在全球化日益推进的现代世界,翻译成为促进各国交往的重要桥梁。以培养翻译人才为核心的翻译教育获得各国重视,专业翻译培养教育机构林立。2006年3月教育部批准设立翻译(本科)专业,正式将翻译教育从外语教育中分离为专业教育,并把翻译人才纳入专业人才培养之例。课程设置规定着人才培养的规格,体现了教学内容的结构、程度和进程。对于处于起步阶段的翻译专业本科教育而言,首要问题之一是建立一套科学合理的课程体系。本文对加拿大和香港的翻译课程设置展开全面研究分析,以期对我国本科翻译专业课程设置有所启示。研究涉及6所加拿大高校、7所香港高校、2所中国大陆高校的本科翻译专业课程设置,通过文献资料分析、数据分析、对比研究的方法对三地本科翻译专业课程设置进行比较分析。本研究认为,加拿大翻译专业以培养通才型职业翻译人才为导向,重点突出实践翻译技能及职业技能;香港以培养双语跨文化交流者及职业翻译人才为目标,实践翻译技能与语言学知识及翻译研究并重;中国大陆以综合语言技能与翻译技能为重心,培养翻译通才。本文从翻译专业培养目标、学生入学要求、课程结构、课程内容进行论述,最终得出以下对大陆翻译专业建设的启示:在以市场为导向的翻译教育体制下,应该建立以培养职业翻译为中心的翻译专业,遵循符合现实市场要求的培养准则,在课程设置内容上强调翻译技术及翻译工作者职业技能培养,突出联系现实的原则,形成学术性教育与翻译职业培训相结合的翻译职业通才培养体系。
