A Research on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence Translation Tools on the Translation Ability of Third-Year English Majors

From the perspective of teachers’ teaching, this study delves deeply into the impact of artificial intelligence translation tools on translation ability of third-year English majors, taking the Chinese-English translation course as an example. Through teacher interviews, student interviews and student questionnaires, the study reveals that artificial intelligence translation tool is double-edged sword. On the positive side, the use of artificial intelligence translation tools in teaching enriches teaching resources and improves the accuracy and fluency of students’ translations. However, students’ excessive reliance on translation tools dampens their enthusiasm for independent thinking and translation practice, thus hindering the formation of translation thinking. Based on these research findings, this paper proposes corresponding countermeasures to help teachers better integrate artificial intelligence translation tools into teaching and cultivate professional translation talents who meet the needs of the times.
