Abstract: Purpose]The purpose of this thesis is to briefly study how to translate different types of anadiplosis in Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, so as to evoke other translators'attention in this field. [Methods] There are different types of anadiplosis in Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, thus this thesis first summarizes the categories of anadiplosis structure in Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, then studies the respective use and mixed use of domestication and foreignization strategy in translation of the three types of anadiplosis structures. Furthermore, it also analyzes the advantage and disadvantage of domestication and foreignization strategy and the scope of their application. [Results] Through research, the thesis discovered that both domestication and foreignization strategy have their own advantage and disadvantage in translating anadiplosis in Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine. On one aspect, translators should spread as much traditional medical culture as possible; on the other hand, translators should also take readers' response into accounts. Although domestication is a major trend nowadays, with the deepening of culture exchange, foreignization will play a more important role in TCM classics translation. [Conclusion] Domestication and foreignization strategy complement each other in the translation of anadiplosis in the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine. However, because of the requirement to spread traditional Chinese medicine, foreignization strategy will be used more frequently than before.
