Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the training mode and practical problems faced by Thai translation talents in Chinese colleges and universities, to provide a reference for students to choose a Thai major after the college entrance examination, to provide materials for colleges and universities to improve the construction of Thai majors, and to provide choices for companies that need to hire Thai translators. The paper is mainly based on the interview method, supplemented by the literature research method, and explains the real situation through data analysis. The survey results are as follows: the number and geographical focus of colleges and universities offering Thai language majors are in southwestern China; the majors were established after 2000; the source of Thai language students is particularly unbalanced, mainly concentrated in the southwest; the current mainstream training model is 3+1 or 2+2, but the model of "language + major/skill" is the most respected; students report that Thai is the most difficult to translate, followed by phonetics, words and grammar, and there is an urgent shortage of Thai context; university libraries generally have outdated materials, and Thai reading materials Scarcity; the teaching team is relatively young and the number of teachers is not high; the employment situation in the north is better than that in the south, and the employment pressure in the south is huge; machine translation cannot replace human translation at present. When recruiting Thai translation talents, it is necessary to take into account the tendencies cultivated in the north and south of China.
