Translation competence has been a heated topic in recent years. Yet, business English majors (BEMs), as non-translation bilingual majors, also need training in translation competence. The paper intends to construct translation competence for BEMs through four modules: schema based on business knowledge; information types; cognitive thinking and post-editing based on machine translation. By integrating these four modules, the translation competence can be improved in a relatively short teaching time for BEMs.
