The influence of Chinese culture in English-speaking countries is still not as significant as that of Japan and other East Asian countries. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the English translation of vocabulary with Chinese elements. Based on the main purpose of cultural dissemination, this article briefly classifies vocabulary with Chinese elements, explores translation strategies for Chinese traditional cultural vocabulary, and summarizes the actual cultural propaganda effects. The article also provides insights and suggestions for subsequent strategy applications.
