With the increasing demand for translators ’ cognitive ability in the language service industry, the traditional translation teaching mode centered on language skills has been difficult to meet the needs of complex discourse processing. This paper takes the cultivation of translators ’ cognitive ability as the core perspective, introduces formal logic as a cognitive tool, constructs an integrated logic training system of “ pre-translation-translation-post-translation ”, and embeds syllogism recognition, conditional relationship analysis and proposition consistency test into the translation teaching process. At the theoretical level, it explains the internal relationship between formal logic and translation cognitive mechanism; at the practical level, the application effect is compared and analyzed through teaching intervention experiments. It is found that the introduction of formal logic training can significantly improve students ’ discourse analysis ability and logical coherence of translation, but has limited impact on language accuracy. Studies have shown that formal logic can not only be used as an operational tool in translation teaching, but also promote the transformation of translation teaching from experience-oriented to cognitive rationality-oriented.
