Abstract

In the current process of university English teaching, it is found that English learning barriers have become a key factor restricting the quality of university English education. In order to investigate the influence of translation ability on college students' English education barriers, a research program on the relationship between the role of translation ability and college students' English education barriers based on the analysis of intelligibles was developed. With the support of scales, questionnaires, structural equation modeling, and multiple linear regression modeling, the research program of this paper is empirically analyzed. The regression coefficients of autonomy, intelligence, and interactivity in the intelligent body analysis, translation ability and college students' English education barriers are -0.389 (0.001), -0.179 (0.005), and -0.129 (0.009), while the path coefficients are 0.473, 0.385, and 0.469, and the two have a significant negative correlation, i.e., the higher the translation ability corresponds to the college students' English education barriers are smaller.
