A Study on Back-Translation Strategies in Practical College English Translation Teaching
高校英语翻译实践课程中的回译策略研究

摘要

翻译教学在高校英语教学中具有重要地位，翻译策略的探讨从来都是翻译专业领域研究的热门话题。而作为翻译策略之一的“回译”策略研究近些年来并没有太多创新性突破，大多数的学术研究依旧停留在科技、法律或医学领域应用上，教学领域的研究甚少。而“回译”同时也被认为是英语翻译教学中促进英语学习和自我检查的一种有效工具，它能帮助学生更深层次意识到母语和目标语之间的差异，从而更准确捕获两种语言的文字和文化内涵，特别是双语的词汇选择、搭配、句型和语篇分析等方面。文章将对高校英语翻译课程中“回译”这种教学策略展开探讨，旨在帮助高校英语专业和非英语专业的学生充分理解回译的本质，进而增强学生的翻译技能和文字底蕴。
