学语言要求能“听、说、读、写、译”，译排在最后，可见它对于证明外语学习能力的要求是最高的。

我们学习英语采用的文本基本上是英文，因此我们有很多机会练习英译汉，而且由于汉语是我们的母语，只要我们将文本里的生词意思查出来，再把句子结构搞清楚，都能够翻译得八九不离十。

然而，不难发现汉译英是更加困难的，即使对于高年级学生来说，要把一篇文章翻译出来通顺地翻译出来也是相当不易的。

随着全球化的发展，各国之间的联系日益紧密，对于专业性翻译人才的需求也日益增长，研究并探索出适合学生的汉译英学习方法，对于加强学生的专业竞争力是十分必要的。

本文从三个部分展开。

第一部分介绍英语专业本科生的汉译英学习现状和常见问题；

第二部分浅析造成汉译英难题的一些原因；

第三部分提出一些能够帮助学生更好地学习汉译英的建议。

通过本文的写作，笔者表达了对当前汉译英学习方法改进的期待，证明我们的汉译英学习是有方法可循，希望对英语专业的同学有所帮助。
