Abstract:
This study focuses on the English translation of the TCM term component"Men"by adopting the method of corpus comparative analysis with the comparison of the current five authoritative TCM terminology translation standards at home and abroad,and sorts out the common translation problems such as inconsistent translations to the same term,loss of TCM culture,arbitrary translation strategies,and then complexity of TCM thought,difference between Chinese and English,insufficiency of translation management are thought the causes of the problems.Finally,on the basis of the existing researches on TCM translation,this paper argues that unification,understandability and inclusiveness should also be adequately considered during the translation of TCM terms,and analyzes its implementation pathways.
