Abstract
Terminology databases constitute an essential tool for academic research and practical translation. Both Europe and China have their special terminology databases for their actual need. The databases echo the integrated thought of Europe and China’s terminology management mechanisms. The IATE in Europe is an inter-active database constructed over many years. China has already created a large set of terminology databases, e.g. TERMONLINE. The present study will comparatively introduce and interview both IATE and TERMONLINE, analyze the background of construction and provide real and practical information for translation. It can be concluded that with the advancement of emerging technologies in the future, more and more terminology databases will be designed and established in Europe and China, thus further keeping the balance between human and knowledge interaction.
