Abstract: Drainage is one of the crucial parts of coal mining. Since the Westernization Movement during the lateQing Dynasty,coal mining industry of modem China began adopting machinery,with Westernmanufactured"steam-powered pump"emerging as pivotal equipment for mine drainage. The article examines the historical progresion of mine drainage tools in China. By analyzing the translation and dissemination of the English term“pump” in modern China,it reveals that its translation not only constructed an intellectual bridge for Sino-Western technological dialogue but also uncovered the creative translation strategies employed by intellectual elites from the Late Qing Dynasty to the Republican period towardsWestern industrial civilization. Through cross-cultural reconstruction of semantic codes,“pump"underwent a symbolic evolution within the Chinese linguistic context—progressing from terms like“恒升车",“抽水筒”,“唧筒”and“帮浦”to the term“泵”.Exploring the evolution of the Chinese translation of the term“pump” not only builds a knowledge bridge for Sino-Western technical dialogue,but also reveals the creative strategies employed by intellectual elites from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China to break down language barrers in the
processofabsorbingWesternindustrialcivilization.
