The Current Situation of the Listening and Interpreting Abilities of Undergraduates Majoring in Translation at Applied Universities Based on Empirical Research

This study takes the junior-year students majoring in translation at Zhejiang Yuexiu University as the research subjects. With the help of the China Standards of English Language Ability, it conducts an in-depth exploration of the current situation of their listening and translation abilities, and makes a comparison with the research conducted by Mu Lei on college students. The study finds that there are significant differences between junior-year students in applied uni-versities and those in first-class universities in terms of the proportion of im-provement in listening and translation abilities, the distribution of ability lev-els, and other aspects. Based on this, suggestions such as strengthening lis-tening training, optimizing teaching resources, and perfecting the evaluation system are put forward to improve the teaching quality of the translation major in ap-plied universities.
