ABSTRACT

In the information age, everything in our society has increasingly changed, including translation. In order to meet with the changing situation, especially prepare students for changing translation industry, based on “whole-person translation education model”, a digital-informational zed holistic whole-person translation education is proposed in this paper conceptually. Through the literature study and review, after deductive analysis of all elements of this model horizontally, the concrete vertical route to the holistic education of professional translators at the context of the mainland of China is specified as apprenticeship. Consequently, with the exploration of all elements of the holistic education of professional translators and the concrete route to it, the two contributions to the present translation education are summarized as the followings : the introduction of translation engineering into the education as well as that of ideological and political theory, and the role of integration  as the priority of this education model for students to transform from discipline-knowledge-orientation to professional-competence-one with digital-information-technology competence.
