Cultural confidence means that a country, a nation or individual not only has a strong confidence in its own cultural traditions, cultural values and cultural advantages, but also can tolerate and respect other cultures. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the importance of cultural confidence on many occasions. In college English teaching, especially in translation teaching, insufficient attention is paid to the Chinese traditional culture and many college students lack of cultural confidence. They are often at a loss when translating the culture-related words with Chinese characteristics especially in CET-4/6 translation test. This paper is aimed at exploring how to enhance cultural confidence in college English translation teaching, promote Chinese culture and tell Chinese stories well to the world and meanwhile improve students’ translation ability.
