Abstract: The number of papers on the study of terminological translation published in 15 academic journals of foreign languages from 2000 to 2011 in China tends to increase as a whole. The areas of expertise involved in the papers have increasingly widened, which mainly focus on the terminological translation methods, principles and standardization of terminological translation from English into Chinese and so on, but it is extremely obvious that the literary term translation studies have been relatively neglected and the papers are short of in-depth theoretical analysis and research. It will help literary terminology translation research out of difficulty to analyze the reasons for the lack of literary terminology translation studies and implement relevant feasible measures.
