Abstract

How to enhance students’ translation competence is the essential issue in translator education, while scholars have not reached an agreement on the components of translation competence. Reviewing the development of translation competence models in the past four decades, this study tries to clarify the constitution of TC in the ever changing world, and reveals the strategic competence the central competence that dominates, harmonizes, and optimizes other sub-competences. In the light of the previous researches, the study explores the implications of the central subcompetence in translator education to enhance TC effectively, to improve translation quality and efficiency, to cultivate conscious, autonomous, self-directed, competent translators and lifelong learners.
