From the perspective of embodied-cognitive translatology, conceptual blending is an embodied-cognitive approach widely used by human beings, and translation is an embodied-cognitive activity in which different mental spaces map onto each other. This paper attempts to combine the new conceptual blending chain theory with the core principle of “embodied cognition” involved in embodied-cognitive translatology into “embodied-cognitive concept chains”, to interpret the translation processes and embodied-cognitive mechanisms of military terms in Lin Wusun’s English translation of Sun Tzu: The Art of War. Then the translation processes of independent concept terms, co-clustered concept terms, and polysemical concept terms, as well as the translation methods and translation techniques used by Lin Wusun, are clearly interpreted from the perspective of embodied cognition. It is found that the embodied-cognitive concept chains can adequately explain many types of military terms in Sun Tzu: The Art of War, thus promoting the theoretical construction of embodied-cognitive translatology and the ontological study of translation process.
