Abstract

The development of translation ability is the central issue of translation teaching research, which determines the setting, implementation and evaluation of translation courses. The core issues of translation competence research are: What are the sub-abilities of translation ability? Which stages can translators develop into? And how to develop translator’s translation ability? Based on the four pairs of contradictions and the study of Chesterman’s five-stage translation competence development, six constituent factors of translation ability was discussed in a comprehensive model of modern translation ability. According to the three stages of Chinese translator’s translation ability, teachers in China should stress the core ability, the development of one’s language ability, and other abilities in translation in order to fully develop translator’s translation ability and make them become advanced translators.
