On the afternoon of September 21, 2018, Mr. Shi Jiansheng, the general manager of Shi Yibao, delivered a speech entitled “Translation Education and Translation Career Choice in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” to School of Foreign Languages.
For a long time, the translation talent training mode of Chinese universities has been out of touch with the actual situation of the translation industry and social needs. From the perspective of entrepreneurs, Shi Jiansheng talked about translation career development, project management, translation education and the demand for translation talents in the future. He shared with students various kinds of problems he has encountered in his career, and led the students to think about how to meet the needs of customers in their future career. In addition, he shared with students how to learn translation project management and how to make wiser choices in the context of new technologies.
After the lecture, the students actively asked questions about the content of the lectures and the practice of translation, and Mr. Shi explained them one by one patiently.
The lectures were rich in content and thought-provoking. They deepened the students' understanding of the translation profession, and also helped the students figure out how to perfect themselves. The lecture has won the praise of teachers and students. （Journalist: Feng Yan)
