Abstract

Abstract: This author probes into the relationship between translator subjectivity and TCM term translation from the semantic approach. The author points out that the translators are required not only to make the right choice between the literal meaning and the scientific meaning of TCM terms, but also to produce the appropriate versions with a good knowledge of semantics, terminology and TCM.

Key words: subjectivity of translator, TCM term, semantics, literal meaning, scientific meaning
