Abstract

This thesis analyzes current English translation teaching situation in China's higher vocational non-English majors education. Problems are pointed out such as: ignorance of an overall language learning but stress on only career jargons or professional terms; failure to help students deliver proper translation by applying language variations. Memetics is adopted to probe into possible solutions. Tentative suggestions like "to restore the value of memorization" and "awareness of context"are made to aim at an improvement on the existing matters.
