language.Deeply locatedin culture,manyculture-specific termsinTCMconcepts can not betranslated faithfullyand adequatelysuchasYin,Yang,Qi,Sanjiao etc.In TCMtranslation keepingnationality isimportantinordertoreserve itsTCMculturecharacteristic.However,only partoftheinformation hasits counterpartin English.And otherseither haveno equivalentsor toonational toabandon theiroriginal flavor.In thiscase,transliteration playsan importantrole.Transliteration isfrequently used inTCMtranslation.Aording toLi Zhaoguo (xx),transliteration isprobably theonly wayto keepthe uniquenessofTCM,andhealso admitsthat itisthelast notthe leastchoice intranslation,because translationcauses greatchallenge for the readersanditcannotconvey theinformation sufficiently.The culture-specific termsare alwaystranslated withphoic lettersortheterms establishedby popularusage thatis followed by explanation.For example,triple energizers(a collectiveterm forthe threeportions ofthe bodycavity,through whichthe visceralqi istransformed,also widelyknown astriple burners).And yin-yang(the generaldescriptive termsforthetwo oppositeplementary andinter-related cosmicforces

embodiesthethoughtof harmonyin diversity.There arefive basicrequirements inTCMtranslationwhichareimportant toreserve itsnationality andfaithfulness:proficiency inEnglish andability ofregular binationof words;proficiency inChineseandancient medicalChinese;knowledge oftraditionalChineseand Westernmedicine;terminology ofWesternmedicine;correct expressionofTCMinEnglish.(方廷钰34)Translator shouldhave theseabilities inordertodo excellentTCMtranslation.5.3Readersaeptance Thetranslation processinvolves notonly translatorsbutalsothetargetreaderswork.Therefore translatorsshould notignore the

equivalencebetween TCMterminologyand Westernmedicierminology.If not,use transliterationfollowed bydetailed explanation.TCMtranslationis differentfrom otherterminology translationbecause thestructure ofTCM languageis obviouslydifferentwithEnglish language.For example,some translatorstranslate BiZheng(痹症)into arthralgiasyndrome,if wetranslate itback weget themeaning ofpain ofjoints.In fact,itisbetter totranslate itwith transliterationfollowedbyexplanation“joint andmuscular disorderswith paindue towind,cold ordampness”.6.Conclusion Ithasbeenmore thanthree centuriessince thepioneers workedon introducingTCM abroad.At thesametime,withWesternmedicine springinginto China,cross-cultural municationhas increasingbetween ChineseandWesterncountries.In modernsociety,TCMisgetting tobe anobject ofincreasing curiosityintheWesternworldfor itsexcellent curativeeffect andlittle side-effect.English languageand Chineselanguage belongto twodifferent languagefamilies andreflect differentcultures sotherearemany barrierswhentranslatingTCMintoEnglish.Especially TCMhasitsdistinctive nationalityand philosophy.In mostcases theequivalent effectis difficulttobeachieved.Translators dealing with TCMtranslation haveto fulfillthe gapbetweenthesourcelanguagecultureand targetlanguageculture.Cultural factorsinTCMtranslationareimportant aspectswhich directlyaffect

areexplored aboveaordingtothe scholarstranslationstandards.In fact,inordertobea qualifiedtranslator oneshould familiarwiththecultureofsourcelanguageandtargetlanguage,pay attentiontotheculture-specific text,readersaeptance,and twodifferent culturalattitudes andsoon.All strategiescanbeusedinTCMtranslationto solvetheculturalelements.When translatorsdealingwitha specialculture-specific term,they shouldconsider thetwo fieldsofcultureand findthe balancebetween them.So thatthetranslationofTCMwouldbeaepted bythereadersandtheconnotation ofitwouldbe spreadtotheworld.Work CitedUnschuld,Paul
