Abstract

Language is the specific representation and carrier of culture, and there is a magnificent culture behind language. Therefore, language teaching (e.g., English teaching) should pay attention to the cultivation of cross-cultural awareness, and transform thinking in different contexts from the perspective of cross-culture to thus avoid ambiguity in expression and understanding. English translation teaching in higher vocational colleges has been attracting extensive attention for the cultivation of practical talents, and thereby it is necessary to infiltrate cross-cultural concepts into translation teaching. This work mainly investigated the strategies of English translation teaching in higher vocational colleges from the perspective of cross-culture. Currently, there are some practical constraints in English translation teaching in higher vocational colleges, such as stiff translation process, insufficient understanding on cultural context and weak cross-cultural awareness. Accordingly, English translation teaching in higher vocational colleges was assigned with effective teaching guidance and reference from three aspects: teachers' leading role, good teaching atmosphere, and students' cross-cultural knowledge accumulation.
