ABSTRACT: The functional equivalence theory founded by Eugene Nida is significant
for its translation purposes. Translation is based on the target language of cultural
transfer, communicative interaction and cross-cultural events. This paper studies
the definition and characteristics of psychology based on the functional
equivalence theory. What’s more, this
paper analyzes the development of Chinese psychological terminology and its
implications for the development of indigenous psychology. This
thesis insists that we should translate the psychological terminology by the way of
word-for-word translation, paraphrasing, borrowing translation and transliteration.
