跨文化意识的培养能使学生在翻译时自觉考虑中西方文化的差异,做出易被接受、理解的翻译,方便人们的交际和中西方文化的交流。在英语翻译教学中,培养跨文化意识应该做到:培养文化平等的意识;培养学生文化理解的意识;提高文化移情能力;转变授课方式。 Cross-cultural awareness training enables students to consciously consider the differences between Chinese and Western cultures in their translation, to make easily accepted and understood transla- tions, to facilitate people’s communication and exchange of Chinese and Western cultures. In English translation teaching, cultivating cross-cultural awareness should do: to cultivate the consciousness of cultural equality; to cultivate students’ awareness of cultural understanding; to enhance cultural empathy ability; to change the teaching methods.
