Abstract

Traditional Chinese medicine, a subject with strong Chinese cultural characteristics and philosophical concepts, is a shining star of human civilization. The acceptance of traditional Chinese medicine worldwide is directly influenced by the translation of TCM terminology. Under the guidance of Chesterman’s translation ethics, this paper analyzes the categories of TCM terminology according to various translation tasks and discussed the application of Chesterman’s five translation ethics in TCM terminology. The result shows that Chesterman’s five translation ethics can help to improve the translation quality of TCM terminology and promote the international communication of traditional Chinese medicine.
