摘要

在进入就业市场时，未来的翻译人员面临着一些关于专业知识的困难，他们必须克服这些困难才能在职业生涯中取得成功。出于这个原因，本文的目的是为未来翻译人员在专业能力方面的主要关注点提供见解。为了理解这些问题，一个语料库是由未来的译者在一个非常著名的翻译网站Proz.com的论坛上发布的问题创建的。使用语料库管理器Sketch Engine对总共125篇文章进行了处理和主题编码。主题代码是基于两个多成分的翻译能力模型:PACTE的模型和EMT委员会的模型。一旦对内容进行编码，就进行定性内容分析，以便分析未来翻译人员在专业能力方面的主要关注点。结果表明，市场营销、行业和商业知识是潜在译者担心的主要原因。虽然研究结果不具有普遍性，但本研究得出的结论为翻译培训人员提供了一个全面的视角，让他们了解在课堂上应该加强哪些专业能力。

Future Translators' Concerns Regarding Professional Competences: A Corpus Study

When entering the job market, prospective translators face certain difficulties concerning professional know-how that they have to overcome in order to succeed in their career. For this reason, the aim of this article is to provide insights into the main concerns of future translators regarding professional competences. To understand these concerns, a corpus was created using the questions posted by future translators in a forum located on a very well-known translation site: Proz.com. A total of 125 posts were processed and thematically coded using the corpus manager Sketch Engine. The thematic codes were based on two multi-componential models of translator competence: PACTE’s and EMT Board’s models. Once the content was coded, qualitative content analysis was carried out in order to analyse the main concerns of translators-to-be in relation to professional competences. Results show that marketing, industry, and business knowledge are among the main causes of worry of prospective translators. Although the results are not generalisable, the conclusions drawn from this study provide translator trainers with a comprehensive view of what professional competences should be reinforced in the classroom.
