He Gangqiang (2009: 34) argues that the translation of social science English works isusually quite difficult. Although the translation of social science texts belongs to generaltranslation, it has its characteristics, which is different from the translation of generalnewspaper articles or prose.

Chapter Three Solutions to Major Issues and Difficulties

As mentioned in the previous chapter, there are a large number of proper nouns andterms in the book of Society without God. The translation of these proper nouns and termsis very important for the translation of the entire book. Next, the author will further explorethe methods and strategies adopted in translating these nouns in detail.

3.1.1 Adopting the Established Popular Translated Names

Jin Fang(2003: 15) argues that a large number of facts are often used as examples todemonstrate and explain a point of view in social science works, and many people, eventsas well as a wide range of institutions and organizations are also involved usually. Inaddition, there are always a lot of abstract terms in this kind of works. When translatingthese nouns, one principle should be followed, that is, the established popular translatednames should be given priority and at the same time the translation must be consistent.Translation of nouns such as personal names, geographical names, the names oforganizations and institutions, the name of events, and the names of academic terms shouldall follow this principle.
