Abstract
This paper aims to explore the problems and countermeasures in the training of Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) talents in the context of technological empowerment. Through methods such as questionnaires and literature review, the study analyzes the problems in the training of MTI talents under technological empowerment and, by examining the feasibility and applicability of technologies, proposes countermeasures to these problems. The research finds that there are still problems in four areas: training concept, teaching content, research in the current training of MTI talents, and mutual empowerment of technology and education. Four countermeasures are suggested to address these problems, including utilizing technology to promote personalized training and optimize teaching content. This study provides valuable references for future educators to leverage technology in the training of MTI talents.
