Abstract: TCM terms are mainly four-character-phrases, marked by compact structure and compendious diction. So, accurate semantic analyses and logic relations should be the basis for determining the structure type of TCM terms. Starting with grammatical characteristics of both Chinese and English, this paper explores the translation of basic structures of TCM terms.

Key words: TCM term, structure type, grammatical characteristics, translation
