The following results of this paper are expected to make meaningful contributions in devising future translation lectures: 1) A practice-oriented class is more effective than a theory-oriented one for the undergraduate students; 2) For novice translators, faithful translation strategies should be preferred to fluent translation ones due to the important procedure of precise analysis of the source text; and 3) many prerequisites for professional translators should be specifically addressed, which include basic writing skills in the target language as well as in the source language, diligence of searching and verifying expressions and facts concerning the source text, rich background knowledge, orthography, and textuality, among others.
