The term “cultural turn” was proposed by Susan Bassnett, a leading figure of the school of Cultural Translation. In the practice of translation, the influence of cultural factors should be taken into consideration. The same is true in tr anslation practice teaching. Application-oriented universities should pay attention to the exploration and dissemination of their regional culture. Taking Baod in g University as an example, its translation practice teaching should highligh t the characteristics of Baoding. This paper collected some raw language materials incl uding tourist attractions, literature wor ks, film and television dramas, dishes and m enus, and industrial products in Baoding.
