Reform Logic and Practical Paths of College English Translation Teaching Empowered by AI Translation

The breakthrough development of AI translation technology has reshaped the language service ecosystem and posed fundamental challenges to the traditional model of college English translation teaching. Based on the technical characteristics and application scenarios of AI translation, and combined with practical cases of English translation teaching in domestic colleges and universities over the past two years, this paper systematically analyzes the empowering value of AI translation in improving teaching efficiency, expanding learning dimensions, and enhancing practical capabilities from four dimensions: resource supply, personalized teaching, feedback mechanism, and scenario simulation. On this basis, it proposes reform paths including the reconstruction of teaching objectives, optimization of curriculum content, innovation of teaching models, reform of evaluation systems, and upgrading of teachers' capabilities. Specific implementation suggestions are also put forward for colleges and universities, teachers, students, and educational management departments. Finally, a new translation teaching system featuring "technology empowerment + competence cultivation + value guidance" is formed, aiming to cultivate compound English translation talents with AI tool application capabilities, critical thinking, and cross-cultural communication literacy, so as to provide support for meeting the language communication needs in the era of globalization.
