Abstract

The strategy of translation is understood as equivalent to the problem-solving strategy in this research. The article adopts a mixed approach to the contrastive analysis of Chinese-English (C-E) and English-Chinese (E-C) translation strategy based on think-aloud protocols. Research question is: What similarities and differences can be found between C-E and E-C translation strategy? It is hoped that research findings can shed some light on the translation strategy research and education of student translators’ translation competence.
