The purpose is to explore the limitations of Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) in English translation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Through literature research and case analysis, combining the “CAT(Computer-Assisted Translation) plus MT(Machine Translation) plus PE(Post-Editing)” translation model with the study of Chinese medicine translation, this paper takes the chapter “Five-zang organs and Six-fu organs” in the first chapter of Introduction to Chinese Medicine by Qin Bowei as an example for translation, putting forward that computer-assisted translation still has some inherent limitations in Chinese medicine translation, though it has certain advantages in some aspects.
