In order to convey complete meanings, there is a phenomenon in Chinese of using multiple running sentences. Xu Jingning (2023, p. 66) states, “In communication, a complete expression of meaning often requires more than one clause, which is common in human languages.” Domestic research on running sentences includes discussions on defining the concept and structural features of running sentences, sentence properties, sentence pattern classifications and their criteria, as well as issues related to translating running sentences into English. This article primarily focuses on scholarly research into the English translation of running sentences in China, highlighting recent achievements and identifying existing issues in the study of running sentence translation. However, by reviewing literature on the translation of running sentences, it is found that current research in the academic community on non-core running sentences is limited. Therefore, this paper proposes relevant strategies to address this issue.
