Abstract

MTI (Master of Translation and Interpreting) program of China started in 2007 to prepare more professional translators and interpreters. The number of MTI institutions has increased rapidly in recent years. This makes it a must to examine the status quo of the programs. The present study borrowed the theory of educational research and surveyed the professional preparation environment (PPE) of translator training of seven institutions of China. 844 students’ perceptions were collected and analyzed. It found that the status quo of the PPE was acceptable, but the condition of social environment, especially the status and income of translators, is far from satisfactory.
