Translation can be regarded as one of language skills that requires teachers and students to use the knowledge related to various aspects simultaneously, especially vocabulary and grammar aspects as well as intercultural knowledge in an effort to discover the equivalents between the target and the source language. Based on an overview of some translation theories and translation teaching methodologies, coupled with the actual practice of teaching traslation for Chinese students at some Vietnam’s universitites, the article uses such methods as analysis, comparison and contrast to disscuss the methods for addressing the problems concerning words and sentences in translation, thus putting forward some proposals so as to improve teaching Chinese - Vietnamese translation for Chinese students in Vietnam.
