A Study on the Cultivation of English Translation Competence in Business English Majors

Abstract: Against the backdrop of economic globalisation, the market demand for business English translation talent continues to grow, making the cultivation of translation competence in Business English majors a core issue in enhancing the quality of talent development. Adopting a purely theoretical analytical approach, this study focuses on the cultivation of English translation competence among Business English majors. It systematically reviews research findings related to translation competence theory, business English translation, and pedagogy. Furthermore, it deeply analyses the core constitutive dimensions and key influencing factors of translation competence for these students. Ultimately, the study constructs a 'three-in-one' theoretical cultivation path comprising "optimisation of the teaching system, faculty development, and the cultivation of student autonomous learning capabilities". The research indicates that the translation competence of Business English majors is a composite capability encompassing linguistic foundations, business expertise, translation strategies, cross-cultural business communication, and tool application. Its cultivation is comprehensively influenced by the students' subjective factors and objective factors such as teaching and society. The findings of this study serve to enrich the theoretical system of business English translation pedagogy and provide theoretical guidance for teaching practices in this field.
