Abstract
Catching the meaning of words literally from the context in FreanchChinese translation leads to the major reasons of misunderstanding and mustranslation, and this is ofter caused by failure to understand the polysemy of words, the collocation meaning of words, jargons established by usage, figurative sense of words, words' extended meaning, words bearing historical and religious senses, as well as the specific pragmatical meaning of words in certain context.
