This study investigates translation strategies of TCM instructions based on the theory of adaptation, and indicates that English translation of TCM instructions are continuous selections of strategies. Translators are advised to make dynamic adaptation from the perspective of cultural context and linguistic structures to render accurate descriptions of TCM. This study has extended the application of adaptation theory in scientific and technical literatures and contributed to the promotion of Chinese culture and TCM trade.
