Literature Review To translate Wushu terms we should fellow tightly English translation theory, . Translation is a toy for culture communication, To translate Wushu terms from Chinese into English, we must convey their culture connotation. The minimum requirement for Wushu translation is to achieve faithfulness and fluency.

When the translation level improved, translation standards should have been increased, besides a better translation of Wushu terms should achieve faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance, vividness and.
