Against this background，this article employs literary hermeneutics as its theoretical basis and conducts a study that focuses on English translations of keywords in Wenxin Diaolong，the magnum opus that epitomizes Chinese literary theory. Through systemic analysis，theoretical interpretation and micro-reading，it identifies two types of readings ：misreading and enlightened reading. While misreading is the subject's conscious choice resulting from a lack of sufficient understanding， enlightened reading expands the research horizons and interpretive space of Chinese literary theory. This paper proposes that the translation of key words in Chinese literary criticism should base itself on the fusion of horizons in hermeneutics and aim to achieve as much universality and as wide acceptance as possible. With a thorough understanding of Chinese and Western literary theories，the translation of keywords should eliminate unreasonable misunderstandings through a two-way interpretation so as to gain reasonable enlightened reading.教育部人文社会科学研究青年基金项目“《文心雕龙》在英语世界的译介与接受研究”(19YJCZH019);江苏省高校哲学社会科学基金项目“《文心雕龙》在北美的译介与传播研究”（2017SJB1073
