In the past century,China experienced five climaxes of popular science translation,each with genre features. Innovations incorporated into the classical style of writing are characteristic of the 19th-century translation of popular science. In the 1930 s,the language used became easily approachable. In the 1950 s and 1960s,the translation became exquisite and accurate. In the 1970 and 1980 s,the translated texts feature rigor and smoothness. Since 2005,translation of popular science has been multiple and novel. The evolution of this genre has been generated by multiple factors,including the plurality of texts,translation methods and translators in China.
