Reflection on the Translation Methods in Traditional English-Chinese Translation Coursebooks for Translation Undergraduates

According to relevant documents from the Ministry of Education, current undergraduate translation programs primarily focus on teaching translation methods. Traditionally, translation method systems have relied either primarily on form conversion or meaning conversion. Taking A Course in English-Chinese Translation which primarily references form, and A Course in English-Chinese and Chinese-English Translations which primarily references meaning as examples, this paper elaborates on the shortcomings of these two types of textbooks and ways to overcome them based on fundamental Chinese-English differences, pointing out that translation method systems should be constructed based on Chinese-English differences and primarily reference meaning conversion
