Abstract

ChatGPT, as an artificial intelligence tool, has played an important role in various fields, especially in the field of education. However, there are still shortcomings in translation teaching in universities. This paper analyzes firstly the impacts and challenges of ChatGPT in translation teaching in universities and concludes that ChatGPT can help reduce teachers' teaching burden, provide a rich corpus, and improve translation efficiency. But at the same time, this paper also finds out that the abuse of ChatGPT will bring certain risks, such as causing alienation of the relationship between teaching subjects, and students' excessive reliance on it is not conducive to the cultivation of innovative and critical consciousness, ChatGPT will also lead to academic misconduct such as cheating and plagiarism. Based on this, this paper puts forward the following suggestions: Establish two correct tripartite relationships, cultivate students' innovative consciousness, and formulate more perfect laws and regulations to regulate the use of ChatGPT.
