摘　　要：翻译是一种认知过程,识解是认知翻译学中一个重要的范畴,解释人们在面对同一场景时产生不同语言表达方式的原因。“五行特性”作为中医五行学说最基础理论之一,得到广泛应用,而当前其术语英译不一。本文选取影响力较大的国际标准、教材及名家译作,基于认知翻译学的识解理论,多维度对“五行特性”术语译文的差异进行分析探讨。得出译文存在差异的深层原因在于译者认知机制与识解方式不同:译者基于各异的辖域与背景知识,选择各自的视角和切入点,通过突显事物不同方面进行描述,叙述同时具备详略之分。Translation is a cognitive process Construal is an important category in cognitive translatology,explaining why people have different language expressions when faced with the same scene.As one of the most fundamental theories of the five elements in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),the“five elements nature”has a widespread use,but the current English translation of its terms is quite different.Based on the cognitive construal theory,this paper selects influential international standards,textbooks and famous translations and analyses the differences in translations of the five elements nature terms from a multidimensional perspective.It is concluded that the deep reason for the differences of English translations lies in the different cognitive mechanisms and construal strategy of translators:with different scopes and background knowledge,translators choose their own perspectives to describe things by highlighting different aspects of things.The description can be detailed and sketchy at the same time.
