分析了目前本科生翻译能力不强的诸多原因，建议在修订本科生英语教学大纲时，仍应将培养学生具有一定的翻译能力作为教学目的之一。同时还介绍了培养本科生翻译能力的一些具体做法以及如何加强硕士生翻译能力培养的设想。 This paper analyzes many reasons why the undergraduates’ ability of translation is not strong at present, and suggests that when aiming at revising the English syllabus of undergraduates, it is still necessary to train students to have a certain degree of translation ability as one of the teaching objectives. At the same time, some specific methods to cultivate the translating ability of undergraduates and how to strengthen the translating ability of master students are also introduced.
