A Study on Equivalence between English Translation and Cross-cultural Communication Based on Translation Coordination Theory
Abstract
People with different cultural backgrounds are bound to face the problem of cultural differences in the process of communication, so intercultural communicative competence becomes more and more important. English translation includes not only the cultivation of language ability, but also the cultivation of communicative competence. English, as the most common language, plays a very important role in taking root and developing in today's society by making good use of it and realizing cross-cultural communication. Translation is a kind of communication between different cultures. Focusing on cultivating students' intercultural communicative competence in English translation teaching is not only conducive to students' understanding of the cultural literacy of different countries, but also conducive to students' more accurate English translation. In the future teaching, teachers must clearly realize the importance of cross-cultural awareness to students' English translation ability. Based on the translation coordination theory, this paper analyzes the problems existing in the cultivation of intercultural communicative competence in college English translation teaching, and puts forward some suggestions on cultivating students' intercultural communicative competence in college English translation teaching.
