The Case base building of the MTI courses is an important element of fostering high-level, professional
and practice-oriented translation talents as well as of great significance in reforming the MTI teaching; however,
there has been inadequate research on this topic so far. The author, starting from her own practice of teaching the
course Fundamentals of Translation Studies and incorporating the relevant research fruits of case-base building
on management science, attempts to have tentative studies on principles of selecting and compiling cases on
translation as well as the essential components of translation cases.
