【正确答案】 1、正确答案： Corpus-based translation studies(CTS)is a new branch in translation studies. It aims at drawing a universal conclusion by conducting a descriptive research on a large amount of language material. And it results from the development of modern corpus linguistics and descriptive translation studies.
