This research aims to investigate the relationship between cultural confidence and the translation performance of culture-loaded words among college students.
Constructed research corpus using CET-4 translation materials.
Collected data from 100 English majors and 88 Chinese majors via questionnaires and translation tests.
Utilized PLS-SEM for analyzing variable relationships and group comparisons.
College students exhibited a moderate level of cultural confidence.
Chinese majors demonstrated higher cognition of socialism and their culture compared to English majors.
Significant correlation found between recognition of Chinese socialism culture and translation performance (p < 0.01, β = 0.471).
Cultural confidence accounted for 22.2% of the variance in translation performance (R² = 0.222).
The adjusted model showed good fit with SRMR of 0.068.
