Abstract: There are numerous discussions about translation competence at home and abroad,but few of them are empirical studies,and TransComp's study is not only empirical,but also the only longitudinal one.TransComp's attempts are ground-breaking:a focus on the translator's cognitive processing,mostly on the studies of creativity and decision-making processes;interpretation of the data through Dynamic Systems Theory (DST),storing the process data through the internet.But little attention has been paid to TransComp in China.The paper attempts to give a brief introduction to TransComp and to examine its advantages as well as the limitations.In the end,this paper makes some reflections and suggestions for facilitating translation competence study and teaching in China.
